House, Season 7

Ms. Fields:
Dr. House, can I ask you a question? Are you insane or just stupid?

House:
Is there a third option?

Fields:
Actually, I don't think there is.

House:
I'm sorry. I just wasn't thinking. I mean, I was, but only about myself, which is apparently the way I am. Usually. Not always. I need to convince someone of that.

Fields:
And you think you can do that by getting someone to pull strings to get her daughter into our pre-school. I spoke to Sanford Wells.

House:
You can call the police. You can turn me in for lying at the accident.

Fields:
I'm sure Mr. Dryden has already taken care of that.

House:
Let her daughter in. She's a great kid and Dr. Cuddy is a great mom. They'll fit in perfectly here.

Fields:
And how exactly does admitting her daughter prove how unselfish you are? It seems like you're still doing it to help yourself, not anyone else.

House:
I don't know. I just know that I need to do something. I need her in my life. Do you know what it's like to actually need someone?

Fields:
Yes. I do. But I also know what it's like to have responsibilities. Maybe it's time you grew up.
