Episode Quotes
Marisa: You don't believe in God?
Dr. House: I did. Then I grew my curly hairs.

Dr. House: The problem is, when we don't find a logical answer, we settle for a stupid one. Ritual is what happens when we run out of rationale.

Ramon: Faith is not a disease.
Dr. House: No, of course not. On the other hand, it is communicable, and it kills a lot of people.

Dr. House: Someone looks lovely tonight.
Dr. Cuddy: Thank you.
Dr. House: I meant me. Someone else looks simply stunning. That was you. And the blonde at the bar.

Dr. Chase: Sorry I took off on you.
Dr. Foreman: Twice?
Dr. Chase: First one was my bad. Second one, I had no choice. It was a threesome.
Dr. Taub: They're overrated.
Foreman and Chase: He's bluffing.



Cultural References
Dr. House: You look smashing, Miss Moneypenny.

Miss Moneypenny is M's secretary in Ian Fleming's James Bond novels. Primarily in the movies, she and Bond have a relationship of sorts: Bond jokingly flirts with her, and she occasionally hints she'd like something more serious. She seems to accept that she'll never have him, however.

Dr. House: He needs to see Inherit the Wind.

Inherit the Wind is a 1955 play that gives a semi-fictionalized account of the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925, that dealt with the teaching of evolution in the classroom, and the subsequent protest by religious figures.
