House: This is about who can most easily cross the parking lot. You’re the winner.
Dr. Whitner: Oh, and the prize is apparently a parking space. (edit) Dr. Cuddy: Your application for handicap space says you can walk 50 yards.
House: And Whitner's says she can roll 50 miles between oil changes, I can't change my leg!
Dr. Cuddy: The space I moved you to is only 46 yards away from the front door. I measured; you'll be fine.
House: Great, so I can collapse four yards into the lobby instead of outside in the cold.
Dr. Cuddy: As long as it isn't in my office. (edit) Dr. Cameron: We were treating him for Wegener's when everything went wrong.
House: Not everything.
Dr. Foreman: Yeah, It was a very lovely day outside, on the other hand the treatment made him worse. (edit) House: They're (the gypsies) absolutely right. Stay away from the experimental stuff, much better to stick with the "moving the furniture until he gets better" approach. (edit) Judy: (Stevie) wouldn't even need to be here if not for you!
Leah: Yeah, I'm so unclean I made his liver shut down! (edit)

In the OR the surgeon talks about the spleen that exploded, but is operating on the right side of the abdomen. Unless Stevie has a Situs Inversus Abdominalis where the organs in the abdomen are on the other side, the spleen should be on his left. The liver is on the right side, the spleen left. (edit) In her office, Cuddy tells House he'll get back his parking space if he manages to do his work in a wheelchair. After that Cameron meets House in the hallway and she needs to ask about the wheelchair, yet somehow right after that she knows the specifics of the deal. (edit) In the O.R., that is not how the small intestine looks like in a human being. In a normal human it is embedded in the mesentery and it's not a long loose "rope" as seen here. (edit) When Cameron says the wrist bone mnemonic she says "scared lovers try positions they can't handle." However, the writer or actress muffs the line as the correct mnemonic is "scared lovers try positions that they can't handle", which works to remember the bones Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetral, Pisiform, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, and Hamate. (edit) Trivia: The bumper sticker on the back of House's wheelchair said "I'd rather be walking." (edit)

House: Because we need to take the center square to block.
Referencing the TV series The Hollywood Squares (1966) and its several successors. The game is basically a giant-sized version of Tic-Tac-Toe, where the contestants listen to a celebrity answer a question and determine if it's true or false. If they're correct they "get the square." As in regular Tic-Tac-Toe, taking the center square is usually necessity. (edit) House: I like that kid. He’s got spunk.
Referencing the line spoken by Ed Asner as editor Lou Grant in the first episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. The complete line is "You know what? You've got spunk! ... I hate spunk!" (edit) Dr. Wilson: Ah yes, if it isn’t Dr. Ironside.
Referencing the 1967-1975 series Ironside, starring Raymond Burr as Robert Ironside, a wheelchair-bound consulting detective. (edit) House: Veni, vidi, vici.
This is an allusion to Julius Caesar's terse remark - translated as "I came, I saw, I conquered", or even "came, saw, conquered" - which he used to proclaim the totality of his victory. (edit)
