People don't change!

• Wilson: "House, you're right. Why not? Why not date you? It's brilliant. We've known each other for years We've put up with all kinds of crap from each other. And we keep coming back. We're a couple."

House: "Are we still speaking metaphorically?"
Wilson: "Amber is exactly what I need and you would agree if you weren't mired in self-loathing, topped with a thin crust of megalomania.

• Wilson: "Do you know what this means?"

House: "That you made one good dating choice. The fabric of the space/time continuum could unravel."
Wilson: "My world could expand. I could form a long-term connection that isn't with you. And since you put the darkest possible construction on everything, you could end up losing a friend. You've thought of all this. And yet you're going along with it. Are you being— self-sacrificing?"
House: "I'll sacrifice a lab rat. I'll sacrifice a fly. I'll sacrifice two hundred on a mudder at Monmouth Park. I don't sacrifice self."
