Anne Ramsay: Emma Sloan

Fetal Position

Emma Sloan

Tyson Ritter: [When Emma is doing a photoshoot with singer Tyson Ritter from the All-American Rejects] Uh, I think people aren't going to get it.
Emma: Come on. All-American Rejects. Juxtaposing a classic image of Americana with modern pop culture. You.
Tyson Ritter: Oh, yeah. Everyone loves a good juxtaposition. My fans were born in the '90s.
Emma: You know what? You do this picture, you'll gain 40 years of fans.

Dr. Gregory House: [to Emma] The swollen bladder was not the only problem. We can't leave it inside you. We have to terminate.
Emma: Well, can't you deliver him? Put him on a respiratory machine until you figure out what's wrong.
Dr. Gregory House: We can, and it won't matter. The fetus is still at least two weeks away from being viable.
Emma: Oh, well. I'll suffer through this for two more weeks, then.
Dr. Gregory House: You're on dialysis for your kidneys. Your kidneys can wait. They don't make dialysis for your liver. You're not going to make it two more days.
Emma: I'm not gonna let you kill my baby.
Dr. Gregory House: It's killing you.
Emma: I'm not having an abortion.
Dr. Gregory House: It's not a baby. It's... a tumor. I understand dying for a cause, sacrificing your life so your child might live, but that's not the choice here. Either it dies or you both die.
Emma: Or you fix him and we both live.
Dr. Gregory House: I can't fix it. I'm scheduling a D and C.
[gets up to leave]
Emma: I won't consent.
[House stops and looks at her]
Emma: So I guess you have two days to figure it out.

Dr. Gregory House: Hi. I'm Dr. House. My boss says you're important. Personally, I don't get what's so hard about making Scarlett Johansson look pretty. Arms out in front of you! Palms up, like you're holding a pizza. Close your eyes.
Emma: It's so easy you should consider a career change. Probably make a lot more money.
Dr. Gregory House: Dr. Mackman tell you the clot was clear?
Emma: Yes.
Dr. Gregory House: He said that you and the fetus are fine?
Emma: Yeah.
Dr. Gregory House: He didn't mention your pronator drift.
Emma: What's that mean?
Dr. Gregory House: It means Mackman is an idiot! May I?
Emma: Yeah.

Dr. Robert Chase: [to Emma] Good news. Fetus' urine had appropriate levels of protein and electrolytes so its kidneys aren't damaged.
Emma: Oh. Wow.
Dr. Robert Chase: We're going to put the shunt in. Your baby's lungs should have more room to grow and your symptoms should go away.
Emma: But he'll still need surgery? After he's born?
Dr. Robert Chase: That's when we'll remove the blockage in the ureter. You'll be the only mother on the planet who appreciates the value of a wet diaper.
