Jill and Dr. House in “Maternity”

JJill

My joints have been feeling all loose, and lately I've been feeling sick a lot. Maybe I'm over training; I'm doin' the marathon, like, ten miles a day, but I can't seem to lose any weight.

[while using an ultrasound] Lift up your arms.

You have a parasite.

JJill

Like a tapeworm or something?

Lie back and lift up your sweater.

You can put your arms down.

JJill

Can you do anything about it?

Only for about a month or so. After that it becomes illegal to remove, except in a couple of states.

JJill

Illegal?

JJill

Playdates?

[shows the fetus to her] It has your eyes.
