What is the first dialogue House speaks?
Everybody Lies
See that? They all assume I'm a patient because of this cane.

In the pilot episode of House MD, Dr. Gregory House's first spoken line is 'See that? They all assume I'm a patient because of this cane.' This line establishes House's character - his observational skills, his cynicism about perceptions, and his iconic cane that becomes central to his identity throughout the series.
