House M.D. Episode's Best Quotes
    • House: "You know another really good business? Teeny tiny baby coffins. You can get them in frog green or fire engine red. Really. The antibodies in yummy mummy only protect the kid for six months, which is why these companies think they can gouge you. They think that you'll spend whatever they ask to keep your kid alive. Want to change things? Prove them wrong. A few hundred parents like you decide they'd rather let their kid die than cough up forty bucks for a vaccination, believe me, prices will drop really fast."

    • Dan's Mother: "How can you just sit there?"
      House: "If I eat standing up, I spill."


    • House: "Could we get off my screw-ups and focus on theirs? Theirs are bigger."
