Dr. Lawrence Kutner
- Dr. James Wilson: [after hearing that House got a present wrapped in green paper] Irene Adler. Christmas 2001. Sarcoid symptoms, but she didn't respond to methotrexate. I've never seen him so obsessed. He saved her with a last-minute Wegener's diagnosis, but the hours he put in... I thought it would kill him. And then... well, he fell for her, but it was too soon after Stacy and... It sounds silly, but Irene was the one who got away.
- Dr. Lawrence Kutner: Really?
- Dr. James Wilson: No, you idiots. House is just screwing with you.
- Dr. Chris Taub: House always has an agenda. Just screwing with us isn't...
- Dr. Lawrence Kutner: Yeah, he'd never do that. Oh, wait... he already did last year!
- Dr. Lawrence Kutner: [to Simon about Natalie] You helped bully this little girl and completely refuse to accept responsibility. No way you came here out of compassion. That only leaves guilt. What did you do to her?
- Simon: Nothing.
- Dr. Lawrence Kutner: Stop lying or I'll take the drugs I found in your locker down to the cops, you slimy little jerk.
- [Taub takes Kutner's arm and they step away from Simon]
- Dr. Chris Taub: This kid didn't do anything to you.
- Dr. Lawrence Kutner: This isn't about me.
- Dr. Chris Taub: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. You were bullied yourself when you were in school. Take it easy.
- Dr. Lawrence Kutner: I wasn't bullied.
- Dr. Chris Taub: Right. The Indian foster kid whose parents were shot in front of him. You were clearly homecoming king.
