Dr. Robert Chase
- Dr. Eric Foreman: This is definitely different.
- Dr. Robert Chase: [looking at a photograph of House] It looks almost like...
- Dr. Cameron: He's caring.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: [to Chase] So, the sleep lab. You and Cameron not sleeping. How serious is it?
- Dr. Robert Chase: It's nothing. She's only doing it to make House jealous.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Then why are you doing it?
- Dr. Robert Chase: You kidding?
- Dr. Robert Chase: If it were really a person and we had no other options, we'd do an exploratory surgery. Cut into his chest and have a look around.
- Dr. Gregory House: Let's do that!
- [stars to leave, but then stops in front of Cuddy]
- Dr. Gregory House: You're the one who insists we treat it like a person. I'll put it back when I'm done.
- Dr. Gregory House: Any of you guys ever been to the Galapagos?
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Was our patient there? Dengue fever, avian pox. Even West Nile.
- Dr. Gregory House: No. I'm looking for a vacation spot.
- Dr. Robert Chase: That mean we get vacation?
- Dr. Gregory House: How would that differ from your current status?
- Dr. Cameron: You're going to do what? Relax?
- Dr. Gregory House: Visiting family. My uncle's a giant turtle.
- Dr. Cameron: [about Cuddy] Anybody going to stop her?
- Dr. Robert Chase: Stopping the madness is her job.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Somebody's gotta be Cuddy's Cuddy.
- Dr. Gregory House: What would we do if this patient were not just a tadpole. Say it was an actual person.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: He... is a person.
- Dr. Gregory House: Thanks for playing along. Pretend it's a one-pound adult. Forget the mom, forget the womb, the placenta. How would we get a better look at what's in the lungs?
- Dr. Cameron: Transesophageal echo.
- Dr. Robert Chase: Can't access his esophagus.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Higher resolution CT could give us a clearer...
- Dr. Robert Chase: Too much radiation for a one-pound person.
- Dr. Gregory House: You can't just shoot everything down, Chase. You're not me.
- 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.
- Dr. Robert Chase: [to Cuddy about Emma] We were able to control the pre-term labor with tocolytics. The contractions have subsided for now.
- Dr. Cameron: And the liver biopsy was negative. This is definitely mirror syndrome. Her baby's doing this to her.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: We're out of options.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Did the biopsy cause the pre-term labor or did it happen on its own?
- Dr. Robert Chase: It doesn't make a difference.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Pre-term labor can be a new symptom. New information gives us new theories. Isn't that how it works?
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Not in this case. Her body's trying to do what you refuse to: get the baby out and save itself.
- Dr. Cameron: The patient's transaminases are 10 times normal. Her liver's on the verge of shutting down completely.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: A torch test could...
- Dr. Eric Foreman: We don't have time for more tests. We have to terminate or she'll die.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Then let's work faster.
- Dr. Cameron: Medicine doesn't work faster just because you hope real hard.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: But it could help to see what the baby's been hiding. The only organ we haven't been able to look inside is its lungs. The problem must be in there.
- Dr. Robert Chase: We haven't been able to see inside because they're underdeveloped. We've already got her on corticosteroids, but it'll take weeks for them...
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Then let's drown them in corticosteroids. Multiple courses. Speed up their development.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Giving the baby more than one course will suppress adrenal gland function.
- Dr. Robert Chase: Have long-term adverse effects on fetal organ development.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Worse than death?
- Dr. Cameron: Emma's already on tocolytics. The combination could put her into pulmonary edema. You'll just kill her faster.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: It's the only chance we have to see inside those lungs. We're just going to have to make the baby better faster than we make Emma worse.
- [Foreman, Chase and Cameron stare at her]
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Come on. This is the kind of thing House does every day.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: House thought we should terminate six hours ago.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I'll do it myself.
- Dr. Gregory House: Maternal Mirror Syndrome has one surefire cure. Deliver the fetus.
- Dr. Robert Chase: It's not viable at 21 weeks. You'll kill the baby.
- Dr. Gregory House: Fetus.
- Dr. Cameron: Do semantics make you feel better? Pretend it's not a person?
- Dr. Gregory House: Can it play catch? Can it eat? Can it take pretty pictures?
