Dr. House, Dr. Wilson10 lines
Full Script
Dr. Wilson: The ethics board meets in an hour. You need to apologize.
Dr. House: For what? Being right?
Dr. Wilson: For breaking into a patient's house, stealing their medication, and replacing it with placebos.
Dr. House: Which proved she was faking. You're welcome.
Dr. Wilson: House, they will revoke your license.
Dr. House: They won't. I'm the only one here who can diagnose a case without Google.
Dr. Wilson: Your ego is not a defense strategy.
Dr. House: It's not ego if it's true. (beat) Fine. I'll apologize.
Dr. Wilson: Really?
Dr. House: No. But I'll say words that sound like an apology. Same thing in medicine.
