House, Season 3

[at the court]

Judge:
I've read the file. You've got fifteen minutes.

Dr. House:
It's people like this who killed Copernicus.

Judge:
Galileo.

Dr. House:
Either way.

Judge:
And they just locked Galileo up.

Dr. House:
They killed his spirit. Nobody likes a show-off. Luckily, Alice Hartman has a dad who's willing to see reason.

Judge:
Reason as defined by slavishly deferring to you.

Dr. House:
Their doctor.

Edie:
Your Honor, I've had no opportunity to consult my attorney.

Dr. House:
There's no time.

Edie:
All I want is a second opinion before —

Dr. House:
No time!

Judge:
Your testimony is their child will die if I don't grant this motion right now.

Dr. House:
Am I under oath?

Judge:
Let's say yes.

Dr. House:
My testimony is that this child might die if you don't grant this motion right now.

Judge:
Literally no time for a second opinion.

Dr. House:
Wouldn't be as good as the first opinion.

Judge:
Dr. Cuddy, what do you think?

Dr. House:
[Before Cuddy can answer] She's not a specialist in this area. Her opinion is worthless.

Judge:
Dr. Cuddy, what do you think of Dr. House? Is he as big a jerk as I think he is?

Dr. Cuddy:
Bigger. But he knows what he's talking about.
