House M.D.2004

Arlene:
If you're so great, how come you're not running your department anymore?

Dr. Gregory House:
What are you talking about, Mom?

Arlene:
That's what he told me.

Dr. Gregory House:
Two days ago? I said that I didn't have a department to run? I was being sarcastic.

Arlene:
No, you weren't.

Dr. Gregory House:
Right, because people who are talking can't tell if they're being sarcastic.

Arlene:
That doesn't make any sense.

Dr. Gregory House:
Of course they can. But you weren't... I love A-Rod. He's so modest and I highly respect the paintings he has of himself as a centaur. Question. Do I like A-Rod?

Arlene:
Yes. Whoever he is.

Dr. Lisa Cuddy:
She can't recognize sarcasm?

Dr. Gregory House:
Deficit in the right parahippocampal gyrus, which means CNS involvement before the fever. I was wrong about the endocarditis.
