House, Season 6

House:
So when you watch Star Wars, which side do you root for?

Valerie:
Dr. House. What are you doing?

House:
Just checking in on your radiotherapy.

Valerie:
From what I hear, you never visit patients. And now, you've come to chat with me twice.

House:
I want to know how you like being a management consultant. I'm thinking of getting into it. That or psychopathy maybe. Which pays better?

Valerie:
I think you're already into one of them. Dr. Hadley made a joke yesterday. She said I sound like you.

House:
I'm sure you understand what “joke” means.

Valerie:
So you're not just out for yourself? For example, you would never interrupt a sick woman's treatment just because of some personal obsession?

House:
Of course I'm self-interested. We all are. We're born that way. The rest of us are born with consciences.

Valerie:
Which is something you just sound ecstatic about.

House:
I'm not saying it's logical. I'm just saying it's human.

Valerie:
So if you know your conscience is just an animal instinct, you don't need to follow it. I think you realize that. That's why you're talking to me.
