House: I need time for my brain to transition so I can embrace my inner monkey. (edit) Fantasy Cuddy: I'm distracting you. (stops stripping and sits next to House)
House: No! Dance, woman!
Fantasy Cuddy: You'd rather be diagnosing.
House: I screamed "no."
Fantasy Cuddy: And your own subconscious ignored you. (edit) House: I used to drive home after getting drunk, but some mothers got MADD! (edit) House: Lesbian. Find out if anybody on that bus was taken to other hospitals.
Thirteen: He just forgot mine.
House: No, Thirteen. I just wanted to call you a lesbian.
Thirteen: I'm not a lesbian.
House: I was rounding up from 50%. (edit) Dr. Cameron: You're staying the night. We need to monitor your brain for swelling.
House: How much bigger could it get? (edit)

When House leaves the crash in his memory, his hands are covered in blood, however at the beginning of the episode in the strip club which happens directly after the the bus crash, his hands are clean until he touches his own blood. (edit) Trivia: When resuscitating House in the bus, Wilson is seen doing a series of precordial thumps (blows to the chest with the fist). Though not generally accepted as effective in the field to convert the heart as a defibrillator, it has been used in witnessed cardiac arrests when one was not immediately available. The American Heart Association recommends compressions to breaths at a ratio of 30:2 at 100 compressions a minute. (edit) When Cuddy and Wilson perform CPR on House in the bus, like with most television shows it is portrayed inaccurately. Proper rescue breathing (which Cuddy was administering) requires one to get behind the patient's head and tilt it back in order to open the airway. Cuddy also forgot to pinch House's nose. (edit) After revealing that he has a cracked skull, Cuddy tells House to go home and go to sleep. With a concussion and cracked skull, sleeping is the last thing House should be doing. (edit)

House: I'm going in, Rambo style.
House is alluding to the series of action films starring Sylvester Stallone as John Rambo, Vietnam-era Green Beret, most recently in Rambo (2008). (edit) House Didn't you see Altered States?
Referencing the 1980 movie (correctly identified by House) starring William Hurt and directed by Ken Russell. Hurt is a scientist who uses an isolation chamber combined with hallucinatory drugs to genetically regress himself, and subsequently goes on a rampage after his transformation. (edit) House: Right here. Purpura on Lalph Klamden's neck.
Referencing the 1955-56 TV series The Honeymooners, starring Jackie Gleason as bus driver Ralph Kramden, and also starring Art Carney as garbageman Ed Norton and Audrey Meadows as Ralph's long-suffering wife. (edit) Taub: Great idea. I'll build the giant submarine. You get the miniaturization gizmo.
Referencing the 1966 movie Fantastic Voyage, starring Stephen Boyd and Raquel Welch, where a five-person team is miniaturized and journeys into a patient's brain to destroy a blood clot. (edit)
