- [last lines]
- Martha Masters: House, I can't do it. I'm leaving.
- Dr. Gregory House: Surgery?
- Martha Masters: ...I - don't know what I mean to do. But I *do* know I don't want to be here.
- Dr. Gregory House: ...Nothing will ever be simple again.
- Martha Masters: I'm fine with it.
- Martha Masters: I did things no doctor in their right minds would do.
- Dr. Gregory House: Good.
- Martha Masters: I manipulated, lied, forged, stole.
- Dr. Gregory House: I don't want to know the specifics. I'd be called to testify.
- Martha Masters: I broke the rules because I believed I was right.
- Dr. Gregory House: You were.
- Martha Masters: Then why don't I feel good or satisified? Instead I just feel like throwing up.
- Dr. Gregory House: And you're following me to ask how I break the rules and maintain my rosy demeanor?
- Martha Masters: I didn't do it to be happy. I-I just thought I would be.
- Dr. Gregory House: You can't always get what you want.
- Dr. Gregory House: [after Wilson wins the bet] Bird recover okay?
- Dr. James Wilson: Physically - yes. Emotionally - it was a long night. Next week - ferrets?
- Dr. Robert Chase: What's with the sudden interest in her future?
- Dr. Gregory House: You know, a blacksmith who spends this much time hammering out a new blade from raw Jell-O, he gets curious about who ends up wielding it.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: No reason to be curious unless you're interested in wielding it yourself. You want her to intern here.
- Dr. Gregory House: [to Masters] So coloring inside the lines is more important than saving this girl's life? I was wrong about one thing - you are not exceptional.
- Martha Masters: You want me to be like you. It's not gonna happen.
- Dr. Gregory House: It's the last thing I want. Because then neither one of us would be exceptional.
- Dr. Gregory House: Masters, there's no hurry. There's no wrong choices. At least that's what they tell people who make crappy choices.
- Martha Masters: You did an LP? Why didn't you page me?
- Dr. Gregory House: Oh, I'm sorry. Did you want to do one of those? You should've spoken up. You want the job or not?
- Martha Masters: Um... I... After careful consideration, I have decided to accept your offer for an internship.
- Dr. Gregory House: Great. My department has a slightly different procedure log.
- Martha Masters: Uh, you forged the last one. I only did 9 LPs.
- Dr. Gregory House: Do you know how to do an LP?
- Martha Masters: Of course.
- Dr. Gregory House: Do you know how to do 9 LPs and say it was 10? It's time to grow up. Turn that in, the job is yours.
- Dr. Gregory House: Don't you have your own surgery?
- Martha Masters: I took a break. I told them I had to pee.
- Dr. Gregory House: You lied. Small one but it's a gateway lie.
- Martha Masters: I care about the patient.
- Dr. Gregory House: Another lie. You care about being exceptional.
- Martha Masters: I told her dad I was gonna take care of her.
- Dr. Gregory House: A third lie. Welcome to the slippery slope.
- Martha Masters: No one will stop Kendall sailing. You need to step in.
- Dr. Gregory House: Sign on the door says I'm a Diagnostician. Cool diagnosis means I'm finished.
- Martha Masters: She could die.
- Dr. Gregory House: Pretty sure the law of the land says that everyone has the right to be an idiot - think it's the Second Amendment.
