Episode Quotes
Dr. House: So why are you here?
Dr. Cameron: Because Dr. Cuddy is not here. She's decided to spend some more time at home with the baby for a while. I'm taking over some of her day-to-day responsibilities, like babysitting you.
Dr. House: Interesting. You have your whole life ahead of you, so why would Cuddy want you to die so young?
Dr. Cameron: She figured I' spent three years working for you. I was inoculated.
Dr. House: Good. Fun. You get to exercise your newfound power, I squirm under your thumb, resent the student becoming the teacher, and then push comes to shove, and we all get to realize what our real roles should be. Then you put out.
Dr. Cameron: That's why I took the job.

Dr. Kutner: Cameron's in charge?
Dr. Hadley: When did that happen.?
Dr. Kutner: You're going to destroy her, aren't you?
Dr. House: I am going to do my job. If that involves leaving her a rotting pulp...

Dr. Kutner: You slept with Foreman?
Dr. Hadley: Sorry, you were busy.

Dr. Hadley: How about you just judge our ideas on their own merit?
Dr. House: Oh, you don't want me to do that.

Dr. Kutner: I'm impressed. You didn't even flinch.
Sarah: I just went to my happy place.
Dr. Hadley: We cannot let House anywhere near this woman.

Dr. Kutner: It's premature, reckless, and potentially lethal.
Dr. House: True. It must be somebody's job to stop me from being reckless and irresponsible. Nobody can stop me from being premature.

Dr. House: Hmm. Some people thought you were going to be brutal. Marking your territory.
Dr. Cameron: Who?
Dr. House: Nobody. Just because I call him nobody doesn't make me a racist.

Dr. Cameron: I'm not going to play games. If you come to me with a request and it makes medical sen
Dr. House: I need oral sex. I'm pretty sure biological imperative qualifies as medical sense.
Dr. Cameron: Can I return my phone call now?
Dr. House: I don't really see how that's going to be possible.

Dr. Taub: This is going to be convoluted, isn't it?
Dr. House: I figured I'd ask for something really crazy, so she'd shoot me down and get the the whole "I can control House" thing out of her perky little system. So the next time I went back and I ask for something marginally crazy, it would seem marginally reasonable and she'd say yes. So, yeah, slightly convoluted.

Dr. Foreman: I've been here five years. I can hear your thoughts from my apartment.
Dr. House: (leers at Hadley) Can you hear me now?
Dr. Foreman: Move on to another organ.
Dr. House: I did.

Dr. Cuddy: House told me I should give her back. Instead of being offended, I've been wondering if he's right.
Dr. Wilson: He's not. He never is, not when it's anything personal, or human.

Dr. Cameron: What do you want me to do? Say yes just because you're House?
Dr. House: I'd certainly like that, yeah.

Dr. House: That's my old boss. And by "old," I don't mean "former."
Dr. Cuddy: Insulting me is not going to make me go away.



Episode Goofs
When House and his team visit Cuddy at her home, she is holding her baby but it is obviously fake, the close up shot soon after shows a real baby.
