1. Brock, what
are you doing?Copy !req
2. Getting ready for surgery.
What's it look like?Copy !req
3. You're operating
on my sister.Copy !req
4. And my fiancée.Copy !req
5. You're drunk.
You could kill her.Copy !req
6. It's the only way
to stop my hands from shaking.Copy !req
7. I need to drink.Copy !req
8. For Anna.Copy !req
9. What about our baby?Copy !req
10. Our baby?Copy !req
11. Brock! Oh, my God! Brock, are
you okay? Brock, speak to me.Copy !req
12. Oh, my God!
I think he's really hurt.Copy !req
13. Cut!Copy !req
14. That was scary. I thought for
a second you were really...Copy !req
15. Then you're going to be the
only one in the world who did.Copy !req
16. This is ridiculous.Copy !req
17. That was great, Evan.Copy !req
18. No, it wasn't. It was crap.Copy !req
19. The fans are going to love it.Copy !req
20. The fans are crap. I'm crap.Copy !req
21. This whole damn show is crap!Copy !req
22. Sorry, not your fault.Copy !req
23. Where are you going? My
apartment's on the West Side.Copy !req
24. Excuse me, you need
to go the other way.Copy !req
25. Hey, did you hear what I said?Copy !req
26. What the hell's going
on here? What do you want?Copy !req
27. An autographed
picture would be nice.Copy !req
28. Oh, and I'm also going
to save your life.Copy !req
29. You might want to think about
repositioning the crosswalk.Copy !req
30. It's technically not a violation, but
the closer they are to the entrance,Copy !req
31. the more likely
they are to be used.Copy !req
32. Makes sense.Copy !req
33. Listen, I actually wasn't
expecting you until next month.Copy !req
34. Yeah, that's the problem with planned
visits, administrators plan for them.Copy !req
35. The most recent New Jersey
Hospital Accreditation requirements.Copy !req
36. Yeah, I'm familiar with...Copy !req
37. Who is that?Copy !req
38. I have no idea.
Shall we get started?Copy !req
39. Just let me go. I won't press
charges. I'll forget the whole thing.Copy !req
40. That's probably true, seeing
as how you have a brain tumor.Copy !req
41. You're that nut-job doctor
that keeps calling my publicist.Copy !req
42. Actually, I'm the nut-job
Head of Diagnostic Medicine.Copy !req
43. I run every day. I don't get headaches.
I'm fine. So, if you don't mind...Copy !req
44. Actually, I do mind.Copy !req
45. I don't care if you die,
but if Brock Sterling dies,Copy !req
46. Anna never finds out he's
the father of Marie's baby.Copy !req
47. Help!Copy !req
48. Help!Copy !req
49. We're gonna need
a wheelchair here!Copy !req
50. Look, in the last month,Copy !req
51. your average line reading has
slowed from 2.1 seconds to 2.9.Copy !req
52. You're pausing more,
always at the same interval,Copy !req
53. every seven to nine words,Copy !req
54. which means you're having trouble
reading one side of the teleprompter,Copy !req
55. which means a peripheral
vision problem,Copy !req
56. which means a tumor
in your occipital lobe.Copy !req
57. Just one test. If there's nothing
wrong, I'll take you right back home.Copy !req
58. Make it cab fare. I don't want
you anywhere near my house.Copy !req
59. Just put it in my spot.Copy !req
60. The Accreditation Board is here
to protect us and our patients.Copy !req
61. So, in dealing with
the onsite inspector,Copy !req
62. please behave as if it wasn't also an
enormous pain in the ass. Thank you.Copy !req
63. Chase, Foreman, Cameron,
up here, please.Copy !req
64. Why is House driving a limo?Copy !req
65. Don't know.
Don't have to know.Copy !req
66. Don't care.
Wrong.Copy !req
67. Until this inspection is over
you're back on House-watch.Copy !req
68. Current case. Past cases.Copy !req
69. He doesn't have
a current case.Copy !req
70. I have a whole department.Copy !req
71. And are you going
to fire us if we don't?Copy !req
72. I was just asking
for your help.Copy !req
73. The last time I checked the ER, you had
the best-kept charts in the building.Copy !req
74. Last time I checked the 4th-floor
janitor's closet, I found House's charts.Copy !req
75. He hasn't filed anything
since you left.Copy !req
76. Now, House may not care whether this
hospital's accreditation gets downgraded,Copy !req
77. but the people who sign my paychecks
do. So, I repeat: Current. Past.Copy !req
78. He doesn't have
a current case.Copy !req
79. Did he tell you
about the limo?Copy !req
80. So, I just press this button
every time I see a light?Copy !req
81. Tells me where
your blind spots are.Copy !req
82. So, the twins,Copy !req
83. they're going to turn out
to be yours, aren't they?Copy !req
84. I told you, I can't
talk about that stuff.Copy !req
85. But you want to be
done with this, right?Copy !req
86. One's mine, one's Julio's.Copy !req
87. I knew it!Copy !req
88. Julio knocked her up before her
appendix burst. You got her after.Copy !req
89. How can you watch that stuff?Copy !req
90. Because it's awesome.Copy !req
91. It's preposterous, not one real
moment since I've been on the show.Copy !req
92. As opposed to shows that represent the
world exactly the way it is, like...Copy !req
93. Can't think of any.Copy !req
94. What's going on?Copy !req
95. Hospital is being inspected, and Cuddy
dispatched you to keep an eye on me.Copy !req
96. I just parked a Town Car
in an ambulance bay,Copy !req
97. and instead of ripping me one,
Cuddy acted like she didn't know me.Copy !req
98. It's either an inspection
or an aneurysm.Copy !req
99. What's the test say?Copy !req
100. As I suspected,Copy !req
101. you have significant losses in the upper
right quadrant of your visual field.Copy !req
102. Are you serious?Copy !req
103. No, it's a joke.Copy !req
104. Two guys go into a bar,Copy !req
105. and one has significant losses in the
upper right quadrant of his visual field.Copy !req
106. The other one says you're
going to need an MRICopy !req
107. to confirm the type
and location of the tumor.Copy !req
108. That readout says
his vision's fine.Copy !req
109. No, it doesn't.Copy !req
110. Yes, it does.Copy !req
111. You lied to me?Copy !req
112. I kidnapped you, and you're
surprised that I lied to you?Copy !req
113. It just means that the
symptoms are intermittent.Copy !req
114. You come near me again,
I'm calling the police.Copy !req
115. You kidnapped him?Copy !req
116. It's sweet that I haven't lost
the ability to surprise you.Copy !req
117. Are you mocking me?Copy !req
118. My back. My back
is killing me.Copy !req
119. Don't care. Busy.Copy !req
120. Amber's damn mattress.Copy !req
121. Well, that sucks.
Don't buy a new one.Copy !req
122. Are you being sarcastic?
Because we are buying one.Copy !req
123. She's incapable of doing
anything that mattersCopy !req
124. without turning it into
a zero-sum game.Copy !req
125. We're buying
a mattress. For us.Copy !req
126. Wow, I'm faster
than you right now.Copy !req
127. It's all about her and whatever hapless
salesman wanders into her sights.Copy !req
128. She's going to lie, steal and trade
your testes to get whatever she wants.Copy !req
129. Hold on. Just got to do something
before he dials the second "one. "Copy !req
130. You're going to end up
humiliated, holding her purseCopy !req
131. and going home to sleep
on a new mattress you hate.Copy !req
132. What the hell are you doing?Copy !req
133. He needs a MRI.Copy !req
134. Give me one-millimeter slices
from the cortex down.Copy !req
135. Any particular reason you
decided to sedate a patientCopy !req
136. for a procedure that's
completely painless?Copy !req
137. Guy has a history of violent
outbursts during surgical procedures.Copy !req
138. Yeah, on TV.Copy !req
139. It's Evan Greer. He's the
main stud on House's soap.Copy !req
140. Frontal cortex looks
clean. No tumors.Copy !req
141. Increase the magnification
on the occipital lobe.Copy !req
142. You watch because you
like or because I like?Copy !req
143. I was unemployed. I...Copy !req
144. Sorry, that's not an answer,
that's an apology.Copy !req
145. If we are ever to come out of the
darkness, we have to be proud...Copy !req
146. Occipital, frontal and temporal lobes
are clean, so is the optic nerve.Copy !req
147. Definitely no tumors.Copy !req
148. He's fine?Copy !req
149. And awake.Copy !req
150. What should we tell him?Copy !req
151. See if you can talk
him out of suing me.Copy !req
152. He kidnapped me!
He drugged me!Copy !req
153. Perhaps you should
go out the back way.Copy !req
154. I'm not going anywhere
you people tell me to go.Copy !req
155. It's just someone of your
fame... I figured fans...Copy !req
156. You're trying to hide me. You
don't want me making a scene.Copy !req
157. The hospital is being
inspected today.Copy !req
158. And you want me
to do you a favor?Copy !req
159. Not us, our dean of medicine.
And House hates her.Copy !req
160. You'd be doing House
a favor by complaining.Copy !req
161. Oh.Copy !req
162. This hospital is staffed
with lunatics and criminals.Copy !req
163. Excuse me, where is Dr. Cuddy?Copy !req
164. You okay?Copy !req
165. It's my foot.
What did he do to me?Copy !req
166. What did House do?Copy !req
167. Nothing. I was with
him the whole time.Copy !req
168. It's numb. I can't feel it.Copy !req
169. I can't walk.Copy !req
170. Foot numbness has
a huge differential.Copy !req
171. That gets a lot narrower when you
add in peripheral-vision problems.Copy !req
172. Which gets a lot wider when there's
no proof he ever had a vision problem.Copy !req
173. So House was wrong
about the first symptom,Copy !req
174. but the guy just
happened to developCopy !req
175. a second, unrelated symptom
a few hours later?Copy !req
176. He already kidnapped and
sedated the guy against his will.Copy !req
177. Makes sense he'd also do something
to numb his foot so he couldn't leave.Copy !req
178. But it doesn't make sense to
include a symptom that he causedCopy !req
179. in a differential he's
so desperate to solve.Copy !req
180. Unless he didn't
mean to cause it.Copy !req
181. Stick to the filing, sweetheart.
Let the doctors do the doctoring.Copy !req
182. Either toxins
or vitamin deficiency...Copy !req
183. I'm guessing, when
you drugged him,Copy !req
184. you didn't catch him
and ease him to the floor.Copy !req
185. He could've pinched a nerve
in his ankle when he fell.Copy !req
186. You need to run an EMG test
for motor nerve entrapmentCopy !req
187. or the inspector
will own your ass.Copy !req
188. Kutner, leave the room,
wait 30 minutes,Copy !req
189. come back and tell her
the test was negative.Copy !req
190. Is it okay if I use that
time to do the test?Copy !req
191. Get out of here.Copy !req
192. And the rest of them can
help me with all this stuff.Copy !req
193. They're busy, which
is really annoying,Copy !req
194. because I wanted to be able
to say that they're busyCopy !req
195. for no other reason
than to screw with you.Copy !req
196. Research.Copy !req
197. So the nut job was right?Copy !req
198. Usually is.Copy !req
199. He said I was dying.Copy !req
200. He's wrong a lot, too.
That's why we do these tests.Copy !req
201. Bet it's cool, you know, being
the star of a hit TV show?Copy !req
202. It's a daytime soap. It pretty much
puts me one step above dinner theater.Copy !req
203. Come on, you're
on TV every day.Copy !req
204. And who cares what the critics
think? Women love soaps.Copy !req
205. You get to take pride in your job,
feel good when you go home at night.Copy !req
206. You're entertaining people.Copy !req
207. I don't care.Copy !req
208. Then you've made
a strange career choice.Copy !req
209. Look, I'm pandering.Copy !req
210. I want to be part of something
that inspires people.Copy !req
211. So, quit. Find something
inspiring and do it.Copy !req
212. It's not that easy.Copy !req
213. Why not?Copy !req
214. Just isn't.Copy !req
215. It's my heart, Doctor.
It's racing.Copy !req
216. I'm sure it's nothing.
You're a healthy woman, Marie.Copy !req
217. Shouldn't you
examine me?Copy !req
218. Why don't you
have Rico do it?Copy !req
219. You can't tell me
you didn't notice that pause.Copy !req
220. Sorry.Copy !req
221. She's never waking up.Copy !req
222. This is a whole new
experience in super hi-def.Copy !req
223. I had no idea Marie
wore an underwire.Copy !req
224. It does sound a little forced.Copy !req
225. Could be stiffening in his tongue,
which is a symptom of myxedema.Copy !req
226. It's not the tongue. It's the dialogue.
I think I dated that nurse, though.Copy !req
227. No.Copy !req
228. What about the way he's
holding that stethoscope?Copy !req
229. The thumb and forefinger
are meeting at an odd angle.Copy !req
230. Could be a demyelination
from toxic exposure.Copy !req
231. Back it up.Copy !req
232. What's this, the AV Club?Copy !req
233. It's diagnostic.
Everything's under control.Copy !req
234. Yeah, excellent job
so far. House, outside.Copy !req
235. Keep watching.Copy !req
236. You'll never guess
what Rico's got in that box.Copy !req
237. Rico doesn't
even know I'm alive.Copy !req
238. You have an obsession with an actor or
the character he plays. I feel for you.Copy !req
239. You need to work it out.
But I need you to do itCopy !req
240. when the hospital's accreditation,
and my job, are not on the line.Copy !req
241. You want the star of the hottest daytime
drama on TV to die in your hospital?Copy !req
242. No, I want you to cure him without
committing any more felonies.Copy !req
243. I can't do my job if you're
going to tie my hands like that.Copy !req
244. Fifty-one weeks
out of the year,Copy !req
245. I let you run around like a
monkey in a banana factory.Copy !req
246. All I'm just asking is that
you tone it down for a few days.Copy !req
247. I want that TV.Copy !req
248. We're not bargaining.Copy !req
249. You want something. Either you're
bargaining or you're begging.Copy !req
250. Me keeping my job
is good for you.Copy !req
251. Yes, but it's better for you.Copy !req
252. I just want us to
be equally happy.Copy !req
253. EMG was negative for nerve entrapment.
Means the foot's a real symptom.Copy !req
254. It could be
vitamin deficiency.Copy !req
255. Or a toxin.Copy !req
256. Or atherosclerosis.Copy !req
257. Or a toxin.Copy !req
258. Why is toxin a better idea?Copy !req
259. Might not be. We'll know after I'm
finished searching his set and dressing roomCopy !req
260. for medically relevant stuff.Copy !req
261. Got to go.
Need a decision.Copy !req
262. You're not going to
cut your own throat.Copy !req
263. Yeah, that sounds like me.Copy !req
264. Test for heavy metals, organics,
bio toxins, and search the home.Copy !req
265. I liked the pillow-top.Copy !req
266. I like this one.Copy !req
267. Great taste. That model's
top-of-the-line.Copy !req
268. How much is it?Copy !req
269. $1,999. It's
a great price.Copy !req
270. And what about...Copy !req
271. That's too rich for us.Copy !req
272. I don't know. You think...Copy !req
273. Honey, we can't afford that,
not with a baby on the way.Copy !req
274. Congratulations.
Your first?Copy !req
275. Yes.Copy !req
276. How about I knock 100 bucks off,
maybe throw in free delivery.Copy !req
277. Money's really
tight right now.Copy !req
278. I'm a law clerk, and my
husband just got laid off.Copy !req
279. He has an interview today.
Wish him luck.Copy !req
280. Good luck.Copy !req
281. Fingers crossed.Copy !req
282. We might be able
to afford $1,500.Copy !req
283. I'd have to check
with my manager.Copy !req
284. Thanks. I appreciate it.Copy !req
285. Hold this, would you?Copy !req
286. 911 from work. I better go.Copy !req
287. So, am I getting the hard mattress or
do I have to go to my job interview?Copy !req
288. Whatever mattress you
want. I'm fine either way.Copy !req
289. You... Really?Copy !req
290. Really. Just as long as
I get to help you break it in.Copy !req
291. Pack your manhood on ice, maybe
the hospital can re-attach it.Copy !req
292. You were so wrong.
She's letting me choose.Copy !req
293. "You choose" does
not mean you choose.Copy !req
294. Really? It sounded like
"You choose. "Copy !req
295. I suppose it's possible she
meant "House is so, so wrong. "Copy !req
296. It's a trap. It means, "If you love
me, you'll buy the one I want. "Copy !req
297. Amber doesn't do
passive-aggressive.Copy !req
298. People who do aggressive
don't like to limit themselves.Copy !req
299. Could a leaky space heater cause
vision problems and numbness?Copy !req
300. He'd have gotten better at
the hospital. It's not a trap.Copy !req
301. Did I hear a question mark
at the end of that sentence?Copy !req
302. House, look. She's...Copy !req
303. Got to go.Copy !req
304. Manager says
I can do that price.Copy !req
305. The gin bottles
are all gifts from fans.Copy !req
306. Brock Sterling drinks on the show,
but Evan doesn't drink at all.Copy !req
307. He's on this whole health
kick right now. Fruits, nuts...Copy !req
308. Did you take those
from his dressing room?Copy !req
309. No.Copy !req
310. You're not going to
marry Brock, are you?Copy !req
311. We've been waiting four years for
him to make it official with Anna.Copy !req
312. Are you really a doctor?Copy !req
313. Glioblastoma.
Need more proof?Copy !req
314. So, no toxins on the set.
What about his regular life?Copy !req
315. Unusual hobbies?
Unsavory friends?Copy !req
316. No, I've been out with him.
He's as vanilla as they come.Copy !req
317. And by "out" you mean...Copy !req
318. Well, I asked him on
a date last month.Copy !req
319. We went out a few times, but
we weren't right for each other.Copy !req
320. Too small or too large?Copy !req
321. Is that
medically relevant?Copy !req
322. I'm a doctor, and it's
relevant to me, so, yes.Copy !req
323. We never got that far.Copy !req
324. We made out awhile, then
he said he should go home.Copy !req
325. He's a real gentleman.Copy !req
326. Now, that'd be interesting.Copy !req
327. He's impotent.Copy !req
328. A steady diet of sunflower
seeds causes a B6 toxicity,Copy !req
329. which causes autonomic dysregulation,
which causes a wood-free existence.Copy !req
330. One bad night and a couple of sunflower seedsCopy !req
331. and he's got autonomic
dysregulation?Copy !req
332. It's more than just one.Copy !req
333. He can't even remember the last time
he was able to salute. It's cool, huh?Copy !req
334. B6 wouldn't show up on a tox screen,
and we didn't find anything at the house.Copy !req
335. So, all we have to do is
filter the B6 out of his blood.Copy !req
336. Prep him for plasmapheresis.Copy !req
337. Just because he didn't salute
doesn't mean he can't.Copy !req
338. Can you find out where
that voice keeps coming fromCopy !req
339. and tell it to get
out of my head?Copy !req
340. The impotence could be psychological.
He's depressed, hates his job...Copy !req
341. Plasmapheresis has risks.Copy !req
342. He should spend a night in the sleep
lab, see if he gets a reflex erection.Copy !req
343. Confirmation is for wimps
and altar boys.Copy !req
344. We don't need
to wait for a reflex.Copy !req
345. If he can't get engorged the way God
intended, then he can't get engorged.Copy !req
346. I'm not showing him my boobs.Copy !req
347. Lack of response to your
chest tells us nothing.Copy !req
348. Thirteen, show him...Copy !req
349. Where can I find a decent
set of knockers around here?Copy !req
350. Your porn's in
the second drawer.Copy !req
351. All set. Heart monitor, blood-pressure
monitor, and the one on his junk.Copy !req
352. This is humiliating.Copy !req
353. We're going to close the
blinds to give you some privacy.Copy !req
354. The instruments will let us
monitor your response.Copy !req
355. I don't get this guy. He has the coolest
gig ever, but he's miserable about it.Copy !req
356. Probably figures quitting
won't do him any good.Copy !req
357. Figures he'd be
unhappy anywhere.Copy !req
358. Our circumstances
affect whether we're...Copy !req
359. You're pretty happy
in this job, right?Copy !req
360. Sure.Copy !req
361. Have you ever had a job
where you were miserable?Copy !req
362. I once sold men's fragrances
in a department store.Copy !req
363. And were you miserable?Copy !req
364. The pay was awful.Copy !req
365. It was a miserable job,
but you weren't miserable.Copy !req
366. So, what about you?
Are you happy?Copy !req
367. Not particularly.Copy !req
368. Heart rate
and BP are climbing.Copy !req
369. Got some activity on the
tumescence monitor, too.Copy !req
370. There's nothing wrong with his
naughty. It's not B6 toxicity.Copy !req
371. Did he just finish?Copy !req
372. Sometimes when you haven't,
you know, for a while...Copy !req
373. His heart rate is through
the roof. 220 and climbing.Copy !req
374. He's headed
for cardiac arrest.Copy !req
375. We shocked his heart back
into sinus rhythm.Copy !req
376. He's stable, at least for now.Copy !req
377. Could be some sort of
atypical septic reaction.Copy !req
378. Not without a fever.Copy !req
379. Thus the word "atypical. "Copy !req
380. In that case, it could
be an atypical bunion.Copy !req
381. He used to smoke. Could be paraneoplastic
syndrome caused by small-cell lung cancer.Copy !req
382. He quit 20 years ago, and
his calcium levels are normal.Copy !req
383. Could be Graves' Disease.Copy !req
384. Extreme hyperthyroidism
leads to systemic problems,Copy !req
385. including numbness, vision
loss and cardiac arrest.Copy !req
386. You want to be here.Copy !req
387. I have to be here.Copy !req
388. Just say the word.
I'll fire Thirteen.Copy !req
389. Just sign the forms.Copy !req
390. Smart move. I was bluffing.Copy !req
391. She's right. We should fry the
thyroid before it fries him.Copy !req
392. I know it's more exciting this way,
but shouldn't we confirm you're rightCopy !req
393. before destroying one of the
most important glands in his body?Copy !req
394. If that gland has drawn a
bull's-eye on his heart, then, no.Copy !req
395. Nuking his thyroid puts him at risk for
vascular lesions and all kinds of cancer.Copy !req
396. Protocol says we should
do an iodine uptake test.Copy !req
397. We?Copy !req
398. Anyone else want
to run a useless testCopy !req
399. while Brock's thyroid plots
its next lethal move?Copy !req
400. It was rhetorical.Copy !req
401. You were sure about
B6 toxicity, too.Copy !req
402. House is right.Copy !req
403. Seriously? I mean, I am,
but you think so?Copy !req
404. If he goes into full-on
thyroid storm, he'll die.Copy !req
405. We got to nuke his thyroid.Copy !req
406. Hang up the phone.Copy !req
407. Why? If we're going
to nuke his thyroid...Copy !req
408. We're not nuking the guy's thyroid
without proof that it's Graves'.Copy !req
409. Do the iodine uptake test.Copy !req
410. If House finds out...
When House finds out...Copy !req
411. We'll have the test results.Copy !req
412. And we'll either do his
procedure or we won't.Copy !req
413. What are you doing here?Copy !req
414. Just grabbing a snack.Copy !req
415. You keep food in the morgue?Copy !req
416. If I keep it in the lounge,
everyone else eats it.Copy !req
417. That's because it's
everyone else's food.Copy !req
418. I thought it was just
everyone else's bags.Copy !req
419. The Accreditation Board will
light us on fire for this.Copy !req
420. They're not going to find out.Copy !req
421. Unless, of course, Conway planned on
inspecting the morgue in, say, two minutes.Copy !req
422. Is that why you're here?Copy !req
423. You're going to get me fired
over a sandwich?Copy !req
424. No, over a TV. And you're not going to
get fired because you're going to fold.Copy !req
425. No, I won't.Copy !req
426. But you're going to push it,
so we need a safe word,Copy !req
427. so you can signal
your unconditional surrender.Copy !req
428. Call me "sweet sauce. " Dr.
House. I don't think we've met.Copy !req
429. Dr. Jamie Conway.
I've heard your name.Copy !req
430. Most people have.
It's also a noun.Copy !req
431. I sometimes come down here to
relax, unwind, maybe grab a...Copy !req
432. Sweet sauce.Copy !req
433. It's a nickname.Copy !req
434. An ironic nickname.Copy !req
435. Wow, it is almost 2:00.
Aren't you supposed to be...Copy !req
436. Oh, yeah. Yeah, 'cause those sick blind
kids aren't going to read to themselves.Copy !req
437. See you.Copy !req
438. I recommend skipping C26. Floater,
been in the river at least a week.Copy !req
439. Thanks for the warning.
Any time.Copy !req
440. Doesn't the doctors' lounge
have that same TV?Copy !req
441. No, they've got a 12-inch exactly
like the one that used to be in here.Copy !req
442. Your files are done.Copy !req
443. I'll be doing a dance of joy
just as soon as my leg is healed.Copy !req
444. Can you tilt it down?Copy !req
445. I know the paperwork
annoys you,Copy !req
446. but patient records are important.
You can't just let them sit there.Copy !req
447. I had to, in the
name of science.Copy !req
448. I let the crap pile up,Copy !req
449. then I see which team member
is most self-flagellating.Copy !req
450. Breaks down,
clears up the mess.Copy !req
451. Surprise was, it turned
out to be you again.Copy !req
452. You weren't even
registered as a competitor.Copy !req
453. You miss me.
You miss me.Copy !req
454. You hired Thirteen
to replace...Copy !req
455. Yeah, all pretty
girls are fungible.Copy !req
456. You're avoiding.Copy !req
457. I miss the job. I miss running
around playing private investigator.Copy !req
458. I miss the puzzles.Copy !req
459. Seriously, I'll fire Thirteen.Copy !req
460. Or Kutner, if you
think Thirteen is hot.Copy !req
461. I don't miss you.Copy !req
462. That iodine left
a really weird aftertaste.Copy !req
463. That's the tracer in it. We'll
have the images in a couple minutes.Copy !req
464. You must do okay
with women, huh?Copy !req
465. I already asked him that.Copy !req
466. And?Copy !req
467. It's not all it's
cracked up to be.Copy !req
468. He feels unfulfilled.Copy !req
469. I doubt it.Copy !req
470. I'm lying?Copy !req
471. I used to be
a plastic surgeon.Copy !req
472. I'd talk about my work
as shallow and meaningless.Copy !req
473. Truth is, I loved every
boob job, every tummy tuck.Copy !req
474. Meaning doesn't
mean that much.Copy !req
475. But you're not a plastic
surgeon anymore.Copy !req
476. It's complicated.Copy !req
477. Are you happier?Copy !req
478. It's complicated.Copy !req
479. His thyroid looks normal.Copy !req
480. So, that's good
news, right?Copy !req
481. Everything look
too bright to you?Copy !req
482. It could be the monitor.Copy !req
483. It's not the monitor.
It's the iodine.Copy !req
484. It's everywhere.
His body's not filtering it.Copy !req
485. His kidneys are failing.Copy !req
486. I told you to
nuke his thyroid.Copy !req
487. It's a good thing we didn't. Kidney
failure means it wasn't Graves'.Copy !req
488. So, your test screwed me
and our patient's kidneys.Copy !req
489. You practically poisoned
him with iodine.Copy !req
490. Which he could have handled
easily if his kidneys were healthy.Copy !req
491. All we did was reveal a new
symptom. Usually you're all for that.Copy !req
492. It must be the rancid tinge
of betrayal that's put me off.Copy !req
493. You were wrong.Copy !req
494. So, tell me to my face.Copy !req
495. You've never hesitated before. The
board's turning you into a coward.Copy !req
496. I did it because it was
the right thing to do.Copy !req
497. You did it to pass
an inspection.Copy !req
498. Does it matter?Copy !req
499. Kidney failure on top of the other
symptoms points to an autoimmune condition,Copy !req
500. which means that any of his
other organs could be next.Copy !req
501. We've already started dialysis. We
need to run ANA's for autoimmune.Copy !req
502. You're right. You and the
team go measure the ceilings.Copy !req
503. Excuse me?Copy !req
504. Accreditation Board
guidelines state thatCopy !req
505. no object can be less than
18 inches from the ceiling.Copy !req
506. Make sure we're in compliance.Copy !req
507. There's nothing in our office
that would be less...Copy !req
508. I don't mean us.
I mean the whole hospital.Copy !req
509. Let's see how
this baby handles.Copy !req
510. What?Copy !req
511. You bought the firm mattress.Copy !req
512. I thought that's the
one you wanted.Copy !req
513. It was.Copy !req
514. Why would you do that?Copy !req
515. Because...Copy !req
516. Is this a trick question?Copy !req
517. I left it up to you.Copy !req
518. You were supposed to get
the one you wanted.Copy !req
519. I got the one you wanted
because I love you.Copy !req
520. No.Copy !req
521. You did it because
that's what you do.Copy !req
522. With all your ex-wives,
you did whatever they wantedCopy !req
523. because it was easier, and
you ended up resenting them.Copy !req
524. Don't you dare do that to me.Copy !req
525. What, take care of you?Copy !req
526. Have you met me?Copy !req
527. I can take care of me.Copy !req
528. I need you to
take care of you.Copy !req
529. I have work to do.Copy !req
530. You made it to page eight.Copy !req
531. "Mysterious Hospital
Visit for Soap Doc. "Copy !req
532. Wow, I'll be sure to
send my mom a copy.Copy !req
533. They told me I have
an autoimmune disease,Copy !req
534. like Lupus or Sarcoidosis.Copy !req
535. That's what we're
here to find out.Copy !req
536. You really as good as everyone
seems to think you are?Copy !req
537. Are you really as miserable as
everyone seems to think you are?Copy !req
538. I just want to do
something that matters.Copy !req
539. Nothing matters.Copy !req
540. We're all just cockroaches,
wildebeests dying on the riverbank.Copy !req
541. Nothing we do has
any lasting meaning.Copy !req
542. And you think I'm miserable?Copy !req
543. If you're unhappy on
the plane, jump out of it.Copy !req
544. I want to,Copy !req
545. but I can't.Copy !req
546. That's the problem with metaphors.
They need interpretation.Copy !req
547. Jumping out of the
plane is stupid.Copy !req
548. But what if I'm
not in a plane?Copy !req
549. What if I'm just in a place
I don't want to be?Copy !req
550. That's the other
problem with metaphors.Copy !req
551. Yes, what if you're actually
in an ice cream truck,Copy !req
552. and outside are candy
and flowers and virgins?Copy !req
553. You're on a plane.
We're all on planes.Copy !req
554. Life is dangerous and complicated,
and it's a long way down.Copy !req
555. So, you're afraid to change?Copy !req
556. No, you're afraid to change.Copy !req
557. You'd rather imagine that you can
escape, instead of actually try,Copy !req
558. because if you fail,
you've got nothing.Copy !req
559. So, you'll give up the
chance at something real,Copy !req
560. so you that can
hold on to hope.Copy !req
561. Thing is, hope is for sissies.Copy !req
562. When I get out of here, I'm
not going to be afraid anymore.Copy !req
563. I mean, how many guys
get a second chance?Copy !req
564. Too many. Half the people I save
don't deserve a second chance.Copy !req
565. Now that I've got mine,
I'm going to set things right.Copy !req
566. I'm going to start by being a better
father to you and to your sister.Copy !req
567. And to your other sister.
And to your other sister.Copy !req
568. You realize you're reciting
lines from last season?Copy !req
569. We're going to do all
the things I promised.Copy !req
570. Just help me get
out of this bed.Copy !req
571. Cooling blankets in here. This
guy's brain is about to boil.Copy !req
572. Do you know where you are?
What's your name?Copy !req
573. Dr. Brock Sterling.Copy !req
574. Fever rules out autoimmune. He's
septic. He's got a massive infection.Copy !req
575. We've got him on
broad-spectrum antibiotics,Copy !req
576. but he's slipped from
delirium into a coma.Copy !req
577. Good news is last time Brock was
in a coma, he fathered two children.Copy !req
578. We need to identify the infection and
get him on more targeted meds fast.Copy !req
579. What about pneumococcus? Causes
heart problems and sepsis.Copy !req
580. But not the neuropathies in his foot
and eyes. What about tetanus? It fits.Copy !req
581. He got a tetanus booster
last year. Lyme disease?Copy !req
582. He would have
been sore all over.Copy !req
583. There's a thousand infections
that could have caused this.Copy !req
584. We can start testing, but he'll
be dead before the cultures grow.Copy !req
585. Unless it's a fungus. We could
see that under a microscope.Copy !req
586. Test for fungi, parasites,
all creatures great and small.Copy !req
587. Where are you going?Copy !req
588. To lie down. I need to think.Copy !req
589. Could be rat bite fever,
but his glands aren't swollen.Copy !req
590. Which one are
you going to get?Copy !req
591. She told me to
get the one I want.Copy !req
592. So get it.Copy !req
593. Listeria explains the sepsis,
possibly also the heart problem.Copy !req
594. But not the numbness.Copy !req
595. If the listeria caused encephalomyelitis,
which then caused the numbness...Copy !req
596. I want a waterbed.Copy !req
597. Wow.Copy !req
598. I've always wanted one. I
know it's ridiculous, it's justCopy !req
599. there's something nice about the thought
of being rocked to sleep in water.Copy !req
600. No mocking? No Freudian
analysis of how the waterbedCopy !req
601. is really a great big vagina
I want to crawl into?Copy !req
602. I'm ignoring you because
you make me sad.Copy !req
603. He's on ampicillin, which
means if it was listeria,Copy !req
604. he would've shown
some improvement.Copy !req
605. No, it's a whole thing. You need
special sheets and insurance and...Copy !req
606. Who cares? You wanted
one your whole life.Copy !req
607. You're a grown-up. You can
afford it. Stores sell them.Copy !req
608. Most adults don't go through
life like you do, House,Copy !req
609. indulging our every whim.Copy !req
610. Then you don't
deserve to be happy.Copy !req
611. And yet I am. You?Copy !req
612. Amber will think it's stupid.Copy !req
613. It is stupid.Copy !req
614. Live the dream, Wilson.Copy !req
615. It's not an infection.
It's an allergy.Copy !req
616. That's why it's not
responding to antibiotics.Copy !req
617. This isn't a soap opera,
House.Copy !req
618. People don't just wake up from
comas the second you give them drugs.Copy !req
619. Especially if we give them the
wrong drugs. What do the tests say?Copy !req
620. It was negative for fungus and
parasites, but that doesn't mean...Copy !req
621. The more infections we rule out, the more
likely it is that it's not an infection.Copy !req
622. He has no history of allergies
or asthma. Most importantly,Copy !req
623. none of his symptoms remotely
resemble an allergic reaction.Copy !req
624. Allergens could trigger
an allergic vasculitis.Copy !req
625. That would explain
the symptoms.Copy !req
626. One in a million times.Copy !req
627. Septic infection always
explains his symptoms.Copy !req
628. But an infection is never
resistant to every antibiotic.Copy !req
629. No, an infection
is rarely resistant.Copy !req
630. And allergy never responds to antibiotics.
"Never" beats "rarely. " QED, I win.Copy !req
631. There were chrysanthemums
in his dressing room.Copy !req
632. My God, why didn't you say
he'd been exposed to plant life?Copy !req
633. Chrysanthemums contain pyrethrin.
It's a neurotoxin and a known allergen.Copy !req
634. He has an infection. If we give
him steroids, we'll kill him.Copy !req
635. He has an allergy. If we don't
give him steroids, we'll kill him.Copy !req
636. Not as fast.Copy !req
637. Fast enough.Copy !req
638. You don't have time for the rest of
the tests. We have to do something.Copy !req
639. And what we're doing
right now isn't working.Copy !req
640. Hundred milligrams
methylprednisolone.Copy !req
641. Patients' names?Copy !req
642. It's one patient.Copy !req
643. You want to give one patient 100
milligrams? That'll jump-start a car.Copy !req
644. Perfect, my patient's
a '69 Ford Coma.Copy !req
645. Anything over 50 milligrams, I
need a sign-off from Dr. Cuddy.Copy !req
646. It's protocol,
and the inspector's here.Copy !req
647. I am 99º/º certain
that she'll consent.Copy !req
648. But for the sake of the
1º/º, why don't I just...Copy !req
649. You're not allowed back here.Copy !req
650. Well, tell the inspector
he can put it on my tab.Copy !req
651. I didn't mean now.Copy !req
652. 100 milligrams of
methylprednisolone is an overdose.Copy !req
653. We were wrong
about the infection.Copy !req
654. He's suffering from
a severe allergic reaction.Copy !req
655. The team hasn't finished
the test for allergy.Copy !req
656. His symptoms don't...Copy !req
657. In rare cases...Copy !req
658. Trust me, at the end of
this conversation, I'm right.Copy !req
659. Then confirm it.
Get a blood test.Copy !req
660. What is it about this severe
and deepening comaCopy !req
661. that makes you think
we've got time for protocol?Copy !req
662. Protocol has saved your
patient from having hisCopy !req
663. thyroid destroyed
and his blood drained.Copy !req
664. If you think I'm wrong, tell me I'm
wrong. Don't talk about protocol.Copy !req
665. My job's on the line.
Your job is on the line.Copy !req
666. Okay, here's what you do.Copy !req
667. You wait three minutes,
then you call security.Copy !req
668. By the time they get in here
to lock me up, I'll be done.Copy !req
669. He gets to live. Your ass
gets to be covered.Copy !req
670. If he dies, let me know,
so I can pack my things.Copy !req
671. Tests are negative. Patient's
negative for all floral allergies.Copy !req
672. I'm going to restart
the antibiotics.Copy !req
673. If he's still alive.Copy !req
674. Ampicillin, two grams, IV.Copy !req
675. Why? The steroids worked.
House was right.Copy !req
676. The test was negative.Copy !req
677. He was still right.Copy !req
678. It was an allergy.Copy !req
679. To what?Copy !req
680. Thank you.Copy !req
681. I was wrong.Copy !req
682. You should have stopped me.Copy !req
683. Heard about House's
patient. Bold move.Copy !req
684. And you backed him.Copy !req
685. He was right.Copy !req
686. He wasn't even in the
same neighborhood as right.Copy !req
687. The patient's alive.Copy !req
688. Okay, the rules exist
because 95º/º of the time,Copy !req
689. for 95º/º of people,
they're the right thing to do.Copy !req
690. And the other 5º/º?Copy !req
691. Have to live
by the same rules.Copy !req
692. Because everybody thinks
they're in that 5º/º.Copy !req
693. Okay.Copy !req
694. I noticed that Dr. Chase...Copy !req
695. What are you doing out here?Copy !req
696. I can't sleep.
I hate the waterbed.Copy !req
697. I actually kind of like it.Copy !req
698. No, it's awful.Copy !req
699. We're returning it tomorrow.Copy !req
700. Okay.Copy !req
701. I'm glad you got it, though.Copy !req
702. Me, too.Copy !req
703. I hope they'll
take it back.Copy !req
704. They will.Copy !req
705. You promised me
you'd stop drinking.Copy !req
706. Of course I'm drunk, Anna. They told
me you'd never wake up from that coma.Copy !req
707. But how could you get
engaged to my sister?Copy !req
708. We fell in love.Copy !req
709. What do you want from me,
Anna? I'm just a man.Copy !req
710. And I'm just a woman.Copy !req
711. And as thrilled as I am
about The Lady Slipper beingCopy !req
712. the best nightclub
Port Lawrence has ever seen...Copy !req
713. Hello.
Don't hang up.Copy !req
714. What was the verdict?Copy !req
715. $200,000 fine.Copy !req
716. You should have been fired.Copy !req
717. Good night, House.Copy !req
718. There are bubbles
in his glass.Copy !req
719. Can this wait until...Copy !req
720. My patient. He's
allergic to quinine.Copy !req
721. And you got this from bubbles?Copy !req
722. His symptoms started
two months ago.Copy !req
723. That's also when Brock started downing gin
and tonics like a Brit staving off malaria.Copy !req
724. Gin was fake,
the tonic was real.Copy !req
725. And tonic water
is loaded with quinine.Copy !req
726. Nice job.Copy !req
727. You should have been fired.Copy !req
728. I'm taking back the TV.Copy !req
729. I saved his life.Copy !req
730. That wasn't the deal.Copy !req
731. The contract clearly stated
no takesie-backsies.Copy !req
732. Good night, House.Copy !req
733. What are you wearing?Copy !req
734. Good night, House.Copy !req
735. Good night, Cuddy.Copy !req
