Quotes 

• Dr. Gregory House : [Holding a syringe]  We can't find your tumor in time without your cooperation. So I'm giving you a choice. Give us a chance to make you better, or stick this anywhere and push.

  Alice : Why do you care about me? You think you know me because you read my books?

  Dr. Gregory House : No. I know pain. You think you can handle it, and then one day you can't. And when that happens, you either find reasons to go on, or you don't.

  Alice : I'm... I'm all out of reasons.

  Dr. Gregory House : Now, when you're pain free, you're gonna want to live and start writing again. And if I'm wrong, you got a backup plan to take home with you.

• Alice : You better hurry. My lawyer will have me out of here by this time tomorrow.

  Dr. Gregory House : Yeah, about that. It seems that last night you found and self-administered what you thought was a potentially lethal narcotic. Your psych hold has been extended an additional 24 hours. I know, bummer, right?

• Alice : Why can't you just let me die in peace?

  Dr. Gregory House : You haven't been at peace since it happened.

• Alice : I'm out of here.

  Dr. Gregory House : You can't. We had a deal.

  Alice : Try and stop me.

  Dr. Gregory House : Okay. This woman is on a 72-hour psychiatric hold. If she tries to run, shoot her. With a sedative. That's more convenient.
