Also, House is also faced with a woman who will not accept a surgery for a 30 lb. tumor because she actually wants to remain overweight. Meanwhile, House is under orders from Vogler to fire one of his team.

Episode Quotes
 
Dr. Foreman: And you figure making her feel like crap would do her a world of good?
Dr. Chase: Yeah, if it gets her off the couch!
 
House: Why would you support someone who screws up?
Dr. Cameron: Because I'm not insanely insecure. And because I can actually trust another human being. And I am not an angry misanthropic son of a bitch.
House: Sorry - you said you weren't angry.
 
Lucille: I'm not pregnant!
House: Sorry, you don't get to make that call unless you have a stethoscope. Union rules.
 
Dr. Foreman: Ten-year olds do not have heart attacks. It's got to be a mistake.
House: Right. The simplest explanation is she's a 40-year old lying about her age. Maybe an actress trying to hang on.
 
Dr. Cameron: No plastic surgeon in his right mind is going to give a 10-year old liposuction.
Dr. Chase: Have you ever met a plastic surgeon who was in their right mind?
 
Chase: No, society tells you you have to be thin to be attractive. And guess what, that’s what attractive means: that society likes looking at you.
 
House: Men are pigs - you have nothing to worry about. They will pretty much have sex with anyone - young, old, heavy, thin, complete strangers, relatives.
 
 
Cultural References
 
House: On what? Sharon’s plan for Gaza?

House wittingly references the ongoing plight in the Middle East between the Palestinians and the Israelis. As of 2005, Ariel Sharon was the Prime Minister of the Jewish nation of Israel, and the Gaza Strip is a hot-bed area for focused violence and debate between the two peoples.
 
Dr. Foreman: It’s some kind of game, House’s own version of Punk’d.

Dr. Foreman makes reference to the popular MTV show Punk'd, hosted by Ashton Kutcher, where elaborate practical jokes are staged on other celebrities.
 
Dr. Foreman: Kids in my neighborhood used to call me 'Rerun.'

Dr. Foreman is referring to the 1970's show What's Happening!!, and the character Fred 'Rerun' Stubbs, played by Fred Berry
