Quotes
-
Dr. Eric Foreman : [When Foreman is about to perform a spinal tap on Mary in the hospital lobby] This novocaine will numb you for the lumbar puncture. Sorry this has to be so public, Mary.
Mary Carroll : Normally, I'm in a bathing suit with 5,000 people staring at my butt. I can block this out.
-
Mary Carroll : [Looking at the metal cabinets in the morgue] Are there dead people in those cabinets?
Dr. Eric Foreman : I hope that's who's in there.

Dr. Gregory House : [to Mary] Pregnancy causes all kinds of chemical and biological changes in a woman's body. Or a girl's body, as the case may be. In extremely rare cases, everything goes haywire. It's called TTP. Blood starts clotting like crazy, clogs the vessels in your brain and kidneys. Red blood cells end up getting shredded as they squeeze past the clot like a fat guy in a crowed bar. I'm sure you know what that's like. You're only 12, but you're all grown up, right? Travel on your own, hang out in hotel rooms, getting room service with your teammates. Maybe someone sneaks in a couple of beers, you start playing spin the bottle. Next thing you know, you're waking up with nothing on but your socks.
Mary Carroll : It wasn't like that.
Dr. Gregory House : Of course not. You wanted it.
Mary Carroll : Yeah, I did. He turned out to be a jerk, but...
Dr. Gregory House : Actually, under New Jersey law, the term is "felon."
-
Dr. Gregory House : [to Mary] We're going to have to do something called plasmapheresis. Cleans the antibodies from your blood. We're also going to have to terminate the pregnancy.
Mary Carroll : You're going to tell my parents?
Dr. Gregory House : Someone should. Rock, paper, scissors?
Mary Carroll : They don't need to know. I'll be all right.
Dr. Gregory House : Of course you will. Mean, if you're old enough to bleed out of your vagina, you're obviously mature enough to handle a simple thing like an abortion without Mommy and Daddy's help.
