Great lines from "House"

[sniffles]

I'm in love with Hugh Laurie. He is the most awesome actor ever. I love talking to people who watch the show but don't know anything about him and watching their jaws drop when I tell them he's British.

But I have one problem with "House" - I've been watching it pretty regularly, and I still don't know any of the other characters' names but Cuddy! Note to the writers: Call them by name occasionally, people!

[Edit] I'm still kicking myself that I could have seen Hugh Laurie live in London 15 years ago, and I didn't go!!

He calls them by there last names all the time.

Forman -- Easiest description Black guy, he is also my second favorite character.
Chase -- Rich Kid
Camren -- The lady of the group.

Dr James Wilson - Houses friend, the cancer doctor.

Dr. House: Like I always say, there's no "I" in team. There's a "me" though, if you jumble it up.


This is a long one, but it's a great sample of the show's writing and wit (I copied it from IMBd, they have a bunch of these):

Dr. House: [to the crowd in the walk-in clinic's waiting area] Hello, sick people and their loved ones! In the interest of saving time and avoiding a lot of boring chitchat later, I'm Doctor Gregory House; you can call me "Greg." I'm one of three doctors staffing this clinic this morning.
Dr. Cuddy: Short, sweet, grab a file.
Dr. House: This ray of sunshine is Doctor Lisa Cuddy. Doctor Cuddy runs this whole hospital, so unfortunately she's much too busy to deal with you. I am a board-certified diagnostician with a double specialty of infectious disease and nephrology. I am also the only doctor currently employed at this hospital who is forced to be here against his will.
Dr. House: [to Lisa] That is true, isn't it?
Dr. House: [to crowd] But not to worry, because for most of you, this job could be done by a monkey with a bottle of Motrin. Speaking of which, if you're particularly annoying, you may see me reach for this: this is Vicodin. It's mine! You can't have any! And no, I do not have a pain management problem, I have a pain problem... but who knows? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm too stoned to tell. So, who wants me?
[nobody moves]
Dr. House: And who would rather wait for one of the other two guys?
[everybody raises their hand]
Dr. House: Okay, well, I'll be in Exam Room One if you change your mind.
Dr. Cuddy: Jody Matthews?
[Jody raises her hand]
Dr. Cuddy: Please accompany Doctor House to Exam Room One.

I constantly refer to Omar Epps, Lisa Edelstein, and Sela Ward by the actors' names, even when I'm talking about the characters.

Whats so great about House as a character, is no matter what, he takes center stage. A episode could all be about Cameron or Chase, but House is still in the back, being correct, and sarcastic.
