House: No, I hired you because you look good; it's like having a nice piece of art in the lobby. Cameron: "I worked very hard to get where I am."

House: "But you didn't have to. People choose the paths that grant them the greatest rewards for the least amount of effort. That's the law of nature, and you defied it. That's why I hired you. You could have married rich, could have been a model, you could have just show up and people would have given you stuff. Lots of stuff, but you didn't, you worked your stunning little ass off."
