Quotes 

• Arlene : In the clinic, you were a complete schmendrick. But once you knew I was Lisa's mother, you held your tongue. That's because you love her. I still think you're a pain in the ass with a God complex, and I'll kill you if you hurt her, but I'm glad she has you.

• Arlene : My own daughter is a doctor. She makes a hobby of dismissing my concerns.

  Dr. Gregory House : She sounds smart.

  Arlene : Did she tell you to say that?

  Dr. Gregory House : [House scoffs]  I've never met your daughter.

  Arlene : That's hard to believe since you're currently shtupping her.

• Arlene : I've got a train to catch.

  Dr. Gregory House : I thought you were staying till Sunday.

  Arlene : I'm coming down with a cold. Every time I stay with Lisa or her sister, one of those rugrats gets me sick. Children are awful.

• Arlene : [to House]  So, say you two got married. Would you convert to Judaism?

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : We haven't gotten that far, mom.

  Dr. James Wilson : That's actually a really interesting question.

  Dr. Gregory House : I'm an atheist.

  Arlene : Honey, half the Jews I know are atheists. It's about community.
