House, Season 1

Vogler:
It's the same motion as yesterday people, same reasons. All those in favor of dismissing Gregory House raise a hand.

[all present apart from Cuddy raise their hands]

Vogler:
[sighs] Dr. Cuddy, you realize this is going to happen.

Dr. Cuddy:
I can't do it.

Vogler:
You can't abstain.

Dr. Cuddy:
I'm not abstaining, I'm voting no.

Vogler:
You've changed your mind since yesterday?! What did he do, buy you dinner and roses, threaten to drown your dog?

Dr. Cuddy:
He did his job.

Vogler:
[sarcastically] Right, he saved another life.

Dr. Cuddy:
Maybe.

Vogler:
Good for him, it's great, it's not the point.

Dr. Cuddy:
It's what we do.

Vogler:
And you could do it a lot better if you didn't have to worry about some madman running around the hospital accountable to no-one.

Dr. Cuddy:
But that's not the choice you're giving us!

Vogler:
[cutting in] House won't listen to anyone...

Dr. Cuddy:
[cutting in] And you're not accountable to anyone either, because you think you own us.

Vogler:
[sighs] I move for the immediate dismissal of Doctor Lisa Cuddy.

Board member:
She's upset, we all are. [to Cuddy] Why would you risk your career to save him?

Dr. Cuddy:
If you think House deserves to go, if you think I deserve to go, Wilson deserved to go then vote yes. But if you're doing this because you are afraid of losing his money, then he's right, he does own you. [gets up to go] You have a choice, maybe the last real one you'll have here. [leaves]
