- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: [House checks things in Rachel's diaper with chopsticks] Is everything okay?
- Dr. Gregory House: Yeah. Sorry, just new to all this.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I don't know. All I know is that I'm gonna need to work late. I was actually hoping that you could babysit.
- Dr. Gregory House: No.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Please.
- Dr. Gregory House: Not two nights in a row.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Please.
- Dr. Gregory House: I have a life, you know?
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I will make it worth your while.
- Dr. Gregory House: I am not going to bargain babysitting for sex... Who the hell said that? Of course I will.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Thank you.
- Dr. Gregory House: [In a soothing voice] Are there any masses causing an obstruction?
- Dr. Chris Taub: No. Are you okay?
- Dr. Gregory House: [Still in soothing voice] Just talking in a soothing voice. Not for your benefit. Why is it turning you on?
- Dr. Chris Taub: So what was that shrug? A "Dr. Cheng could work" shrug or a "House is gonna crush you for even considering her" shrug?
- [Chase shrugs]
- Dr. Chris Taub: You suck.
- Dr. Robert Chase: House is gonna hate anyone we hire, because he doesn't want to hire anyone.
- Dr. Gregory House: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What? I know about the Jew, the Black and the Croc Hunter, but when did we get our Asian persuasion on?
- Dr. Chris Taub: Dr. Cheng is the NICU attending on the case and she's not here.
- Dr. Gregory House: Well, then I just wasted a perfectly good racial epithet.
- Dr. James Wilson: Cuddy will be home from work in six hours. But no big deal. I'll just scream, "Look over there" while you quickly shove a scope up her daughter's rectum.
- Dr. Gregory House: I could offer to babysit again, Let her have the night out.
- Dr. James Wilson: Sure. That won't raise any suspicions.
- Abbey: What are the risks to putting my baby on chemo?
- Dr. Chris Taub: It could damage her brain or affect her development. But these risks are small compared to the risks you would be taking by leaving your cancers untreated.
- Abbey: [Long pause] I want to wait.
- Abbey: She's a baby. You're an adult.
- Justine: So what? I don't need my mom anymore?
- Abbey: No. You never did. 'Cause I wasn't there for you. But look at you, you turned out great.
- Justine: Oh, you don't know if I'm great. You don't know me at all. And I'm not gonna let you martyr yourself for a two-day-old infant just because you feel guilty because you weren't around for me.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: House, there's someone here I need you to meet. I just hired Dr. Christine Fraser. She's a board-certified...
- Dr. Gregory House: [via phone] Nice to meet you. You're fired.
- Dr. Fraser: What?
- Dr. Eric Foreman: House, you're kidding, right? I've done my due diligence. She's the best there is.
- Dr. Fraser: What did I do?
- Dr. Gregory House: You had the misfortune to be the lesson that Foreman is learning. That whooshing sound is the air being let out of his ego.
- [Fraser leaves the room]
- Dr. Eric Foreman: You are such an ass, House. You could've made the same point without crushing the hopes of a young doctor who was actually excited to have this job.
- Dr. Gregory House: I'm not sure I could have. You keep giving me far too much credit. Taub, it's your turn to find a young doctor who's actually excited to have this job.
- Dr. Chris Taub: For you to fire?
- Dr. Gregory House: Not until you, or she, earns it.
- Dr. Chris Taub: Pretty amazing case. Thanks for your help.
- Dr. Cheng: I was glad for the chance to work it with you.
- Dr. Chris Taub: I've thought about it, and I'd like to formally offer you the job.
- Dr. Cheng: It's funny. I wanted to work on House's team until I started working with his team.
- Dr. Chris Taub: Yeah, I know. Chase and Foreman can get a little...
- Dr. Cheng: Actually, it's you. I get that House is an ass, but at least he owns it.
- Dr. Chris Taub: You don't understand. This whole thing was just a game to House. I didn't have a choice, but...
- Dr. Cheng: You're a grown man, Dr. Taub. You can make whatever choices you want. And instead of hiring me when he said you could, you chose to act like a paranoid, scared little kid. I hate kids... Goodbye, Dr. Taub.
