Quotes 

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : [to House]  Yes, I was going to stalk you at home, but it was a busy week and your office is closer.

• Dr. Gregory House : [about the baby]  What's going to happen to her?

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : I spoke to both sets of grandparents. It's too painful. They're putting her up for adoption.

  Dr. Gregory House : What are you going to do?

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : I already spoke to a lawyer. I become a foster parent and then I adopt.

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Sixteen-year-old female gets pranked and also gets visual hallucinations and vomiting. Turns out to be a failing liver.

  Dr. Remy 'Thirteen' Hadley : Large breasts are a classic symptom of you letting Foreman take vacation days so he can finish his FDA reports before the end of the year.

  Dr. Gregory House : When are you taking vacation?

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : [to Natalie]  Remember when you asked me if I had any kids? I don't. I don't know. Maybe it has nothing to do with it, but I was good at school, good at work, lousy at life. I screwed up every relationship I ever had. I thought, "Why would I want to bring a child into this?" But then I got older and... how you feel now will pass. Don't let it screw up your whole life.

  Natalie : It's already screwed up.

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : He doesn't want us to treat her.

  Dr. James Wilson : If it's leukemia, even if we kill every cancer cell, her heart and liver are too far gone.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : A double transplant...

  Dr. James Wilson : With brain involvement? The committee won't even open the file. There's no reason to put a dying girl through a painful treatment if we can't save her. He's being kind.
