Quotes

add »
House: Hey! You actually do want to stay, don't you?
Dr. Foreman: I think I do.
House: Every one of those idiots got some insight about themselves from the pig salesman, not one of them did anything about it. People don't learn, they don't change, you did. You're a freak! (edit)
Amber: What's going on?
Kutner: You're the favorite.
Amber: House's?
Kutner: To get fired. (edit)
House: Have you guys heard any of my metaphors yet? Well come on, sit on grandpa’s lap as I tell you how infections are criminals; immune system’s the police. Seriously, Grumpy, get up here, it’ll make us both happy. (edit)
Dr. Cuddy: I just hired (Foreman).
House: Well, I fired him. To infinity. (edit)
Brennan : You want us to stop his breathing?
House: Well only until you can figure out why. After that it would be irresponsible. (edit)

Trivia

add »
The crew deal with the security dogs by feeding them drugged hamburger. Security dogs are generally trained to not eat strange food for exactly this reason. (edit)
Mr. X collapses and someone pages House and the fellowship applicants to deal with him. Not only do they take their time getting there, but when they do arrive nobody else on the staff is helping Mr. X... including, presumably, the person who called the alert in the first place. (edit)
Cuddy is seen here taking birth control pills. However, last time her pregnancy issues were mentioned she was trying to get pregnant. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Title: References Snow White, where the Queen would look into her mirror every day and say, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all." The mirror would usually answer the queen, but once Snow White is born, it says Snow White. (edit)
House: Who here doesn't have health insurance? Michael Moore was right.
Referencing film documentarian Michael Moore's assertion in his 2007 movie Sicko concerning the number of medically uninsured Americans. (edit)
