When Cuddy brings the baby to Natalie, the baby's arm is dangling, in a way that makes it pretty clear it's a doll. However, when the camera's angle changes and we see Cuddy's face, it is a real baby with the arm bent. In the next scene, the arm is dangling again.

Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
House: You talked to Wilson. Taub: He has very girly handwriting, by the way.
-
House: If I wanted gifts, I would just look deep into my patients' eyes and act like you. "Oh, I'm so sorry you're dying, Mrs. Moron. Of course I'll sleep with you. What I lack in skill, I can make up for in…" Dr. Wilson: You'd just wind up insulting her. Perhaps calling her "Mrs. Moron."
-
Whitney: We do other stuff in bed. Couldn't some of his sperm have made it up there somehow? House: More likely, it came from the guy whose penis made it up there somehow, but… sure, anything's possible.
-
Anna: Jerk. Dr. Cuddy: Uh, what was that all about? House: Jamaican chicken recipes.
-
Dr. Cuddy: You faked a scientific miracle just to win a bet with Wilson? House: Mmm, more an argument. I realize it would have been simpler to just fake the paternity test, but hey--Christmas spirit and all that. Dr. Cuddy: I think you're confusing nice and evil again.
-
House: Why have Foreman's breasts suddenly started to droop? Thirteen: Large breasts are a classic symptom of you letting Foreman take vacation days so he can finish his F.D.A. reports before the end of the year. House: When are you taking vacation?
-
House: I've noticed you a lot recently. It's almost as if you have a sexual interest in someone here. Like, say… Taub? Dr. Cuddy: Well, Taub might think I like him if I stayed, which is why I'm gonna do this. (turns and walks away) Taub: Somehow, I don't think that was really about me.
-
Dr. Wilson: Of all the ways to mess with people, why give yourself an imaginary present? House: Have you checked the prices for fireman strippers recently? Dr. Wilson: Yes.
-
Dr. Kutner: Uh, you don't have clinic duty today. House: Who says it's a duty? (walks into examination room) Hi. I'm Greg. Whitney: Hi. I'm Whitney. House: Hi, Whitney. How can I help you? Whitney: I have a terrible headache. House: Oh, sorry to hear that. I'll get you fixed up. Is there anything else you need? Bottle of water? Coffee? Mint tea? Whitney: No, but that's so nice. Usually the clinic doctors are kind of rushed. House: If you can't be nice, why be a doctor?
-
House: That's Beccaria's sign. That'll be gone by your third trimester. Whitney: Oh, I'm not in school. House: Neither is your fetus.
-
House: You didn't know you were pregnant? Whitney: How do… you know that just from the headache? House: How do I know? I missed my period, I got fat, threw up. Oh, no, wait, that's how you know.
-
Whitney: Yeah, I'm a virgin. So is my fiancé. House: I believe him. Whitney: Aren't there other ways I could get pregnant, like… sitting on a toilet seat? House: Absolutely. There would need to be a guy sitting between you and the toilet seat, but yes, absolutely. I was doing so well.
-
House: Parthenogenesis. A baby without a daddy. In humans, it's only ever been theorized, but it was never proved. Until now. (he holds up DNA printouts) Mommy. Baby. Your daughter has only maternal DNA. I personally checked this five times. In seven months, you will have… a virgin birth. Merry Christmas.
