Claimed By Destiny
Allison Cameron
age six
"I want to be a ballerina, Aunty Rose."
age nine
"Mommy, Brandon says I can't be the President of the United States."
"He's eighteen, Allison. He's just saying he'd never vote for you," answered Allison's mom.
age twenty
"Mom, I'm going to be a doctor--a medical doctor."
present day
"Why did I chose this career? I could have run for president!"
"And you would have won--just on looks alone, I'd bet."
Robert Chase
age six
"I want to be just like Dad!"
age nine
"I want to be more like Mum."
age twenty
"I'm in the seminary. To become a priest. Why am I here? I'm just hiding from my past."
"Not just from your past, Robert, but also from your future. You really should be a doctor. Your gift for healing is wasted here. You are not a healer of the Soul, but a healer of the Body," said the Dean of Seminarians.
present day
"I wish House would stop teasing me about what happened with--"
"Chase and Andie,
Sitting in a tree.
K-I-S-S-I-N-G."
Eric Foreman

"I'm going to be a rapper!"
"No, you're not!" countered Foreman's mom.
age twenty
"Dad, I'm going to be a doctor. Isn't that a good thing?"
"You want to be a healer of the material body, Eric. I am a healer of the immortal soul," answered Foreman's father.
present day
"Hey, House! That's my coffee you're drinking!"
Lisa Cuddy
age six
"I'm going to be a unicorn, Daddy!"
age nine
"Daddy! Mary said I couldn't boss anybody around!"
"Tell her you are now the eldest," answered Cuddy's father.
age twenty
"So anymore pearls of wisdom, Dad?"
"Just one thing: a doctor is born, not made. And you will make one hell of a doctor someday," he replied.
present day
"HOUSE! CLINIC DUTY! NOW!"

age nine
"I'm not kissing you, Chandler."

"Hello, I'm new here. My name's James Wilson."
"They put me with a first year, huh?"
"What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing except I hoped to get another year without a roommate."
present day
"Oh, come one!"
"What is it, Wilson? Girlfriend filing a lawsuit against you?"
"Tritter's got his trial. And he's forcing me to take the witness stand against you."
"What are you going to do?"
"The truth."
"I wouldn't want you accused of perjury, but your testimony would be bad--bad for Tritter's accusations, anyway."
"You are a self-serving jerk, House."
"I practice."
"Shut up."
Gregory House
