When doctors are unable to diagnose why a severely autistic boy screams loudly for no apparent reason, House takes the case. As the boy's condition worsens, it becomes obvious that House relates to the boy because he has no social niceties.

House: You remove this kid's eye, he's only gonna be half as good at not making eye contact.
(edit)
Dr. Cuddy: What are you doing here? I have this room booked from two to three.
House: Oh, two East-Coast time. I thought you meant Pacific. Ah, which is stupid of me, I guess. (edit) House: I want it back the way it was.
Dr. Cuddy: It's identical to the old carpet, except without the hazardous, biological waste.
House: I shall not return to my office until every patented, durable microfibre has been restored to its rightful place. (edit) House: Hey! Don't touch his eye!
Surgeon: This is an appendectomy.
House: Like I said, don't touch his eye. (edit) (discussing Ali)
Dr. Cuddy: She has a mole on her right breast, just below the nipple.
House: No she doesn't.
Dr. Cuddy: You've seen her breasts?
House: It was a medical exam. I was listening to her heart. It went "Greg-House, Greg-House, Greg-House." (edit)

House diagnoses Ali with coccidioidomycosis in Cuddy's office. However, whilst Coccidioides immitis would cause cold-like symptoms, it would not cause lack of inhibition like House suggests.
(edit)
When they are strapping Adam to the scanner, the hands that strap his head belong to a woman, and have perfectly manicured fingernails. When the shot pans out, the person standing near Adam's head is a man.
(edit)
When the kid is laying down about to be scanned, you can see his hair is perfectly arranged, after that his hair is all messy for no apparent reason.
(edit)
The age of consent in New Jersey is 16, making the issue raised moot from a legal standpoint.
(edit)
House: Devious. I saw it in a James Bond movie.
James Bond, aka 007, is a fictional British spy created by writer Ian Fleming in 1952. James Bond is now best known from the EON Productions film series. As of late 2006, twenty-one films have been made. (edit) House: So, think maybe Gray's Anatomy got it all wrong?
House sarcastically alluded that Adam’s liver cells were in the right place and that Henry Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body, one of the most reliable and comprehensive resources used by medical students and professionals, got the placement wrong. (edit) Dr. Foreman: Our kid's been tripping on "Lucy in the Sky with Cubic Zirconium."
Foreman is making a pun on the famous Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" (1967), which purportedly was about the psychedelic drug LSD, also known as acid. "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" or just "Lucy" became slang for the drug. (edit) House: Hello, my pretties…
Echoing the cackling greeting/threat of the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz (1939), with Margaret Hamilton in the role. (edit) House: This is your backyard--you may know it as Mel’s Diner.
Referencing the movie Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974), with Ellen Burstyn as Alice Hyatt, who ends up waitressing at a diner owned by...well, Mel Sharples (Vic Tayback). The movie was spun off into a TV series, Alice (1976-1985), with Vic Tayback continuing the role of Mel. (edit)
