- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: She's not a crack baby.
- Dr. Gregory House: No, mother's perfectly healthy. She just had to give up the baby in order to continue her work on the human genome.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: She confessed to some past meth use.
- Dr. Gregory House: What they don't confess to is almost always more interesting. This is a mistake.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Because a kid you don't know may have some problems you don't know about that she may have passed on to a kid?
- Dr. Gregory House: Because you're a control seeking narcissist. Which is fine, good even in some jobs. But you're not equipped to handle a real kid, never mind a factory second. Where are you meeting her?
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: In a little place called "Follow me and your urologist will be buying himself a new yacht."
- Becca: Who's that?
- Dr. Robert Chase: Dr. Gregory House. He's the one you'll be suing when you develop sepsis.
- Dr. Gregory House: [on adoption] They explained the returns policy, right? It's worse than video games.
- Dr. Gregory House: There's more than one baby in the sea. World is full of teenage boys riding bareback.
- Dr. Gregory House: Looks like this kid thing is really working out for you: all of the shopping, none of the stretch marks.
- Dr. Gregory House: It's good news. The great news is she insisted that she's not gonna change her mind, which means she's actually thought about changing her mind, which means she's not sure she's ready to be a mom, which means she's not ready to be a mom, which means she's gonna change her mind, the only question is when.
- Dr. James Wilson: I've just given you the answer, haven't I? And now you're going to walk out of here without saying a word.
- Dr. Gregory House: [walking out the door] Nope.
- Dr. Gregory House: Why the hell haven't you come to talk to me about Cuddy? I've been doing all sorts of insane stuff.
- Dr. James Wilson: If she can't handle your insanity, she can't handle a baby.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Thirty-seven-year-old male with recurring blackouts.
- Dr. Gregory House: Tell him to switch from tequila to bourbon. Worked for me.
- Dr. Chris Taub: Uh... we're not cops. Cops aren't allowed to say that, right?
- Sadie: Yeah. They can say it.
- Dr. Chris Taub: Oh.
- Sadie: But if you were a cop, you would know that. What do you want?
- Dr. Chris Taub: Um... I'd like to buy some cocaine please.
- Sadie: [laughs] Definitely not a cop.
- Dr. Gregory House: [about newborn] Mazel tov. Now it's time to say those magic words you'll be telling her for the rest of her life - mommy's gotta go to work...
- Dr. Gregory House: Guy's bleeding out of his pores. What does that tell us? Other than that you don't want to play basketball against him and he's dying?
- Dr. Gregory House: I need your advice.
- Dr. James Wilson: It's not cancer.
- Dr. Gregory House: Wow! Can you remove spleens with your mind too?
- Dr. James Wilson: [to House about Cuddy] You're feeling threatened because she's going onto high school and leaving you behind to repeat the eighth grade.
- Dr. Gregory House: Everyone's happy until they unwrap that pretty present and find they got a wall clock in the shape of Africa.
- Dr. Gregory House: There's no unconditional love, it's just unconditional need. Don't make this child a victim of your biological clock.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Stop pressuring her.
- Dr. Gregory House: Sorry. Daddy's perfectly healthy, but we want you to give him a kidney anyway because it'd be cool if he had three.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Why do you even care? It's not like I'm ever going to ask you to babysit.
- Dr. Gregory House: I'm a humanitarian.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Let me guess. I'm gonna tell her not to play ball in the house, but she's not gonna listen.
- Dr. Gregory House: No, actually, I was going for "She sneaks her boyfriend in while you're sleeping and he wants to do it on the desk." And at first she says no, but she has issues with self-esteem.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: [to Becca] The baby's doing great. I... I can't imagine how hard this must be for you.
- Becca: I was... I was stupid and selfish.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: You were scared.
- Becca: Yeah, but you wouldn't have been.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: That's not true.
- Becca: Well, I mean, you would've been scared, but... You would've done the right thing anyway. And I want to be like that. I don't... I don't want to be a loser.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: You're not a loser.
- Becca: When I saw you hold her and the look on your face, it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. And that's when I realized... I can't.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Becca.
- Becca: My life, it's always been about pain and anger, and disappointment. Never about love. And that's when I realized, you know, it could be. And I can't give that away.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Becca, don't do this. Uh... what you're feeling is natural, but you're filled with hormones, and emotion, and fear, and... you just can't make a huge decision like this right now. You have to give it some time.
- Becca: I am... I'm so sorry.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: It's a decision that changes everything. Changes the rest of your life.
- Becca: I hope so.
- Becca: [to Cuddy] Well, is there anything you want to ask me? It's okay.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: The agency website is filled with prospective parents. Their photos, their biographies. There's so many wonderful people out there. Wonderful couples.
- Becca: Why did I choose a single mom? My grandmother was married for 37 years to a man that treated her like garbage. And my mom would've stayed married to my loser dad that long, but he dumped her. You know, I never understood how you could fall for the same crap as your mother. Then I met Tony. When I read your bio, a doctor, a head of a hospital, I saw your picture. I don't want her raised by a loser.
