It's A Wonderful Life
A mother's sudden paralysis during a indoor rock-climbing incident leaves her daughter injured, and House's new team looking for a cure. Meanwhile, House organizes his new recruits' Secret Santa gift exchange... with a few twists of his own.
House: "I remembered I'm not a Satanist. I'm a druid."
House: "I figured I could sow dissension and get a few ties and sweaters."
House: "Gifts allow us to demonstrate exactly how little we know about a person. And nothing pisses a person off more than being shoved into the wrong pigeonhole."
House: "You talk to your kid about sex so she'll think you're open about everything. Keeps her from asking questions about the things you don't wanna talk about."
House: "The notion of picking one time of year to be decent to other people is obscene because it's actually validating the notion of being miserable wretches the rest of the year."
House: "The problem with sleeping with strangers is ... they're strange."
House: "Lies are like children: they're hard work, but it's worth it because the future depends on them."
House: "You wanna know every place your mom's thumb has been?"
House: "I know almost nothing of alien physiology."
House: "Homey knows better, Hymie doesn't care, and Huntington's would have done a better job."
House: "Who told you it'd be a good idea to put up superficial representations of a hypocritical season celebrating a mythical figure?"
