1. It's cold.Copy !req
2. Good. Thank you.Copy !req
3. There's a new girl
at the ice cream store.Copy !req
4. She doesn't seem too fond
of buttoning her top button.Copy !req
5. Let's go check her out.Copy !req
6. What are we
supposed to be doing?Copy !req
7. It's almost 4:00.Copy !req
8. You got somewhere to be?Copy !req
9. We know he likes
to manipulate people.Copy !req
10. He's probably testing us.Copy !req
11. To find out what?Copy !req
12. How long we can
look stupid for?Copy !req
13. He said
he'd be here by 3:00.Copy !req
14. He's obviously not coming.Copy !req
15. I'm going home.
Nobody follow her.Copy !req
16. She Pied Pipered nine people
right out of a job last week.Copy !req
17. Would you mind holding
my metaphor for a second?Copy !req
18. New patient,
37-year-old male.Copy !req
19. Suffers from severe
ascending muscle weakness.Copy !req
20. Why are you late?
To see who'd put up with it.Copy !req
21. So, if we'd have left,
we would have been fired?Copy !req
22. I was going to fire
whoever stuck around,Copy !req
23. but since
everyone stuck around...Copy !req
24. 28º/º curvature of the spine
has caused reduced lung capacityCopy !req
25. and he has reduced
the bone mineral density.Copy !req
26. The patient has
spinal muscular atrophy.Copy !req
27. It's genetic, incurable.Copy !req
28. This is not
a diagnostic mystery.Copy !req
29. You have just given the
state secrets to the enemy.Copy !req
30. What enemy?
New patient, new rules.Copy !req
31. Today, you're going to split
yourselves into two teams.Copy !req
32. The first to figure out what's
threatening to deprive the patientCopy !req
33. of the 20 or so miserable years he's got leftCopy !req
34. with SMA gets to
keep their jobs.Copy !req
35. Take off your numbers.
You look stupid.Copy !req
36. And I think I know
who you are by now.Copy !req
37. Wait, how do you
want us to split up?Copy !req
38. Good question, Overly
Excited Former Foster Kid.Copy !req
39. There's 10 of you.Copy !req
40. I was thinking six
against six? No, wait.Copy !req
41. How about women versus men?Copy !req
42. Excellent suggestion,
Fat Twin.Copy !req
43. More interesting
than evens versus odds.Copy !req
44. Less interesting than
shirts against skins.Copy !req
45. If your sex organs dangle,
you're the Confederates.Copy !req
46. If your sex organs are aesthetically
pleasing, you're the Yanks.Copy !req
47. Dr. House? I'd like to be on the men's team.Copy !req
48. Do your sex organs dangle,
Cutthroat Bitch?Copy !req
49. Not yet.
You've never hired moreCopy !req
50. than one female
on your team before.Copy !req
51. If you're going to
purge an entire genderCopy !req
52. it isn't going
to be the danglers.Copy !req
53. Sounds logical, if you don't think
about it for more than three seconds.Copy !req
54. I just told you that if the
danglers lose, they're out.Copy !req
55. So, I can only assume you're
hiding the real reason.Copy !req
56. You don't think the women
will be aggressive enough,Copy !req
57. will be good enough at science.
They'll be too emotional.Copy !req
58. Can I switch teams?Copy !req
59. If the danglers are okay,
I'm okay.Copy !req
60. We're not okay.
I get it.Copy !req
61. You don't like me because maybe
I'm a little bit competitive.Copy !req
62. Manipulative.Copy !req
63. "Cutthroat Bitch"
is your official title.Copy !req
64. It's a game. You can either
play for fun or play to win.Copy !req
65. If you want to win,
you want "Cutthroat".Copy !req
66. No, thank you.Copy !req
67. First thing we have to
do is get inside his head.Copy !req
68. It's not psychological.Copy !req
69. I'm not talking about the
patient, I'm talking about House.Copy !req
70. He's insane,
but he's not irresponsible.Copy !req
71. He wouldn't be playing this game if
he didn't already know the answer.Copy !req
72. The first thing we do
is gang-bang the sucker.Copy !req
73. There's five of us.
We can run dozens of tests.Copy !req
74. We don't need a theory.
We just need brute force.Copy !req
75. What about the assist dog?Copy !req
76. Picks bacteria-infested things up
with its bacteria-infested mouth,Copy !req
77. hands them over to the guy...Copy !req
78. It's not the dog,
wouldn't be fair.Copy !req
79. To who?
Whom.Copy !req
80. The men. House knows I used to be a vet.Copy !req
81. If the dog's the answer,
they'd be at a handicap.Copy !req
82. What about the dog?Copy !req
83. Assist dogs put
everything in their mouth.Copy !req
84. Money, doorknobs...Copy !req
85. Great.
That's not what I said.Copy !req
86. Why do you think a low sodium... I don't.Copy !req
87. Patient took a trip to
Thailand two weeks ago.Copy !req
88. Hey, write bigger and angle the
board more so they can see it.Copy !req
89. This is wrong.Copy !req
90. It's only wrong
if they cheat off us.Copy !req
91. And if they cheat
off us, they're wrong.Copy !req
92. They're not cheating,
but one of them is moving.Copy !req
93. Hey. Stop playing with your
sutures or I'll have to re-do them.Copy !req
94. Why do you guys keep a D-cell
battery in a urine specimen cup?Copy !req
95. Because we pulled it
from a patient's intestine.Copy !req
96. Why would somebody
swallow a battery?Copy !req
97. Why do you assume
it was swallowed?Copy !req
98. Bed five needs a bag
of Ringer's lactate.Copy !req
99. Would have been worse
if he'd used a nine-volt.Copy !req
100. Who said it was a "he"?Copy !req
101. False assumptions.
You're good.Copy !req
102. You're trying to get
me to think like him.Copy !req
103. And you're trying to kiss my
ass. Why are you talking to me?Copy !req
104. Because House is turning patient
care into a game. It's dangerous.Copy !req
105. The patient's going
to suffer. Maybe die.Copy !req
106. Wow! You really need
a shave.Copy !req
107. See what I did there?Copy !req
108. Whoa.Copy !req
109. Interesting.Copy !req
110. I need a crash cart
in here!Copy !req
111. I didn't do it.Copy !req
112. When a person faints,
it's because they'reCopy !req
113. not getting enough
blood to their brain.Copy !req
114. The act of falling
corrects the problem.Copy !req
115. You faint again strapped into that
power chair where you can't fall,Copy !req
116. you might not wake up.Copy !req
117. Killed by
an assistive device?Copy !req
118. At least
my death would be ironic.Copy !req
119. I think when you
went to Thailand,Copy !req
120. you picked up a threadworm
called strongyloides.Copy !req
121. They usually go up
through your feet.Copy !req
122. I didn't do a lot of
walking on the beach.Copy !req
123. But I assume you did have
someone lay you down in the sand.Copy !req
124. Bare back, bare legs increases
exposure tenfold over bare feet.Copy !req
125. Two pills.
You'll be all better.Copy !req
126. Can I have some water for those, please?Copy !req
127. Hey, take a number!Copy !req
128. House didn't say anything about taking turns.Copy !req
129. What's she testing you for?Copy !req
130. Don't. They'll spend all
day obsessing over my ideaCopy !req
131. instead of coming up
with one of their own.Copy !req
132. And, hey,
I might be wrong.Copy !req
133. Seriously. I'm worried that if we don't knowCopy !req
134. what she's given you,
there could be conflicts.Copy !req
135. No, you're not.Copy !req
136. House told me he's
keeping track of all that.Copy !req
137. Ten doctors. I should
be getting ten cures.Copy !req
138. We need blood,
hair, and stool.Copy !req
139. You poop and then
you use the woodenCopy !req
140. sticks to collect
the fecal matter,Copy !req
141. then rub it
on the green box.Copy !req
142. Hand it to my dog.Copy !req
143. Only one of those things I can do on my own.Copy !req
144. And the last couple of days,
I haven't been doing that.Copy !req
145. Is it all right with you if
we carry you into the bathroom?Copy !req
146. If you want me there, that's the
way you're going to have to do it.Copy !req
147. Okay.Copy !req
148. Ready?
Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
149. One, two, three.Copy !req
150. Can I get a little
head support, please?Copy !req
151. Thank you.Copy !req
152. Why are you here?Copy !req
153. My offices are being
used by my teams.Copy !req
154. Teams?Copy !req
155. Which means this is the only
place where you can yell at me.Copy !req
156. You have "teams"?Copy !req
157. Two of them.Copy !req
158. I wanted to deal
with the yelling todayCopy !req
159. because I noticed
what you were wearing,Copy !req
160. and I wouldn't have to
listen all that closely.Copy !req
161. You can't make a competition
out of patient care.Copy !req
162. Without competition, we'd
still be single cell organisms.Copy !req
163. Can I go now?
Not until after the yelling.Copy !req
164. What's wrong with him?Copy !req
165. I have seven of
the finest minds on it.Copy !req
166. Along with
three very special...Copy !req
167. You wouldn't be doing this
unless you already knew.Copy !req
168. I tell you, you tell them.
Game's over.Copy !req
169. If you know,
you are obligated to treat...Copy !req
170. Well, then, in that case, I don't know.Copy !req
171. Why would a guy
voluntarily shoveCopy !req
172. a metal object into
an electrical socket?Copy !req
173. I'm getting closer and
closer to knowing the answer.Copy !req
174. What would happen
if I shut down this game?Copy !req
175. I'd fire them all, hire 40
new fellowship applicantsCopy !req
176. and start the game all over again.Copy !req
177. You do know what's
wrong with him, right?Copy !req
178. It would be pretty irresponsible
if I didn't, wouldn't it?Copy !req
179. Antibiotics aren't working.Copy !req
180. Legionella could explain
the lungs, the fever.Copy !req
181. If she had Legionella,
she'd have low sodium.Copy !req
182. What can you
tell me about her?Copy !req
183. She likes body surfing.Copy !req
184. Maybe picked up a virus
swimming off Jones Beach.Copy !req
185. But she doesn't even have the energy
to finish her crossword anymore.Copy !req
186. Her boyfriend said...Copy !req
187. That's it.Copy !req
188. What is?
Blurry vision.Copy !req
189. How do you get blurry
vision from not being...Copy !req
190. You don't stop a daily ritual that
cures boredom because you're bored.Copy !req
191. She stopped doing
her crossword puzzleCopy !req
192. because she's having
a hard time reading it.Copy !req
193. What causes fever, boggy
lungs, and blurry vision?Copy !req
194. Fungal. Aspergillus would explainCopy !req
195. the pneumonia,
which explains the fever.Copy !req
196. Start her on amphotericin.Copy !req
197. Hey, guys. Great job.Copy !req
198. If you were going to try to take
yourself out, why choose electricity?Copy !req
199. You eat a bullet,
jump off a building...Copy !req
200. I love the team thing,
by the way.Copy !req
201. Bury yourself alive
in Cuddy's cleavage.Copy !req
202. Teamwork, collaboration,
all for the greater good...Copy !req
203. It could have been
a suicidal gestureCopy !req
204. as opposed to
an actual attempt.Copy !req
205. Interestingly,
the rain in Spain doesn'tCopy !req
206. actually fall in
the plain all that much.Copy !req
207. But who puts
their internal organsCopy !req
208. on a skillet just
to get attention?Copy !req
209. Go ask him.Copy !req
210. That would be cheating.Copy !req
211. Got a diagnosis yet?Copy !req
212. Get out of here.Copy !req
213. Got a stool sample yet?Copy !req
214. How could you know?Copy !req
215. Oh, I talked to a nurse.
Pretty brilliant, huh?Copy !req
216. I give you a move House will love
straight from one of his former fellowsCopy !req
217. and you let me
join your team.Copy !req
218. You're too late. We
already have our diagnosis.Copy !req
219. He's lying because
he wants you to go away.Copy !req
220. So do I.Copy !req
221. How do we know you're not a double agent?Copy !req
222. Find out what we're thinking
then go back to the women.Copy !req
223. Because I don't care
what you're thinking.Copy !req
224. You want to know why
I want to be on your team?Copy !req
225. Because you're idiots.Copy !req
226. If I can get the women out
of the competition, I'm in.Copy !req
227. And so are two of you.Copy !req
228. So what's the big move?Copy !req
229. It's called xenodiagnosis.Copy !req
230. We let these bugs bite you, then
we test their feces for parasites.Copy !req
231. Why can't you
test my feces?Copy !req
232. Because you've been chugging milk
of magnesia for the past hour.Copy !req
233. You've got a lot going
in and nothing coming out.Copy !req
234. Testing the bugs' feces is actually
more accurate than testing yours.Copy !req
235. Smaller haystack,
easier to find the needle.Copy !req
236. You okay?
Get the bugs off him.Copy !req
237. Get the bugs off him!Copy !req
238. The test isn't done.Copy !req
239. He's choking!Copy !req
240. Patchy infiltrates
on the X-ray, but patientCopy !req
241. improved with
chest PT and oxygen,Copy !req
242. consistent with aspiration.Copy !req
243. So, now we have another symptom to explain.Copy !req
244. Why does his throat think
his lungs are his stomach?Copy !req
245. And why are your
throats closing up?Copy !req
246. Shouldn't we be
in separate rooms?Copy !req
247. You think I'm going to run two
differentials at this time in the morning?Copy !req
248. Grumpy, you're first.Copy !req
249. I'm not grumpy.Copy !req
250. Well, why would I call
you that if you weren't?Copy !req
251. It's an unusual combination.Copy !req
252. Unusual equals
exotic equals foreign.Copy !req
253. It has to be connected
to his trip to Thailand.Copy !req
254. You practice
medicine overseas?Copy !req
255. I was with Doctors Without
Borders for eight years.Copy !req
256. Ta-da!
It's in my file.Copy !req
257. David Blaine hides the six
of hearts in a beer bottle.Copy !req
258. It's still impressive.Copy !req
259. You like exotic.
Why are you here?Copy !req
260. I want this job.Copy !req
261. Parent sick?
No. I... I just...Copy !req
262. This is not
the job you want.Copy !req
263. This is the job in
the zip code you want.Copy !req
264. You engaged?Copy !req
265. Yes.Copy !req
266. Ta-da!Copy !req
267. Am I not allowed to grow
up and change my priorities?Copy !req
268. You're allowed to.
People usually don't.Copy !req
269. This is not a new symptom.Copy !req
270. Our patient has
spinal muscular atrophy.Copy !req
271. He has documented
trouble swallowing.Copy !req
272. The choking is not new.Copy !req
273. So, if it's nothing new, what caused the old?Copy !req
274. Strongyloides worms
explain the fainting.Copy !req
275. We already treated...Copy !req
276. So, he's all better, woman who... Thirteen.Copy !req
277. He hasn't gotten any worse.Copy !req
278. That's a pretty
passive approachCopy !req
279. for the daughter
of an alcoholic.Copy !req
280. Wrong again.Copy !req
281. We could stress his system,
put him on a tilt table.Copy !req
282. If he stays conscious,Copy !req
283. it means we made the
right diagnosis and we win.Copy !req
284. Then, why haven't you?Copy !req
285. Six against four.Copy !req
286. One of the men is going to
have to join the women's team.Copy !req
287. On the other hand,
one of the men isn'tCopy !req
288. an actual doctor, so I
guess it's pretty fair.Copy !req
289. Men,
you're in the penalty box.Copy !req
290. Who's not the doctor?Copy !req
291. Glad you asked about that.Copy !req
292. The reason I'm penalizing
you is time management.Copy !req
293. In diagnostics, you're always
working against the clock.Copy !req
294. The women came up with a theory
and they treated the patient.Copy !req
295. You guys just
sat around in a lab,Copy !req
296. hoping a series of blind
tests would give you a theory.Copy !req
297. You wasted
the patient's time.Copy !req
298. Now, I'm going
to waste yours.Copy !req
299. Her gums are
turning yellow.Copy !req
300. Whatever it is,
it's in her liver now.Copy !req
301. Fungal fit perfectly.Copy !req
302. We were wrong.Copy !req
303. And we're going to keep
being wrong until we're right.Copy !req
304. Or until she dies.Copy !req
305. Yeah. That was very helpful.Copy !req
306. Need a team to
tell me we're mortals.Copy !req
307. Look. I'm sorry.
You're right.Copy !req
308. Doesn't hurt to be reminded that
we're dealing with real stakes, here.Copy !req
309. Liver failure is a bad
thing, but it's also a clue.Copy !req
310. What does it tell us?Copy !req
311. I can't let you leave if I
think you're still suicidal.Copy !req
312. I wasn't
trying to off myself.Copy !req
313. No, that's right, you were
just trying to kill the wall.Copy !req
314. I check this box,
and your next roommatesCopy !req
315. are going to be Jesus and Crazy McLoonybin.Copy !req
316. That guy never had a chance.Copy !req
317. It's going to sound stupid.Copy !req
318. Suddenly, you're shy?Copy !req
319. You pooped your
pants in front of me.Copy !req
320. It's one of the nasty
side effects of dying.Copy !req
321. Last Saturday
I got in a car crash.Copy !req
322. A drunk driver came over
the line and hit me, head on.Copy !req
323. It was like slow motion.Copy !req
324. I saw these headlights,Copy !req
325. then,Copy !req
326. I saw...Copy !req
327. Paramedics said I was
technically dead for 97 seconds.Copy !req
328. It was the best 97
seconds of my life.Copy !req
329. Okay, here's what happened.Copy !req
330. Your oxygen-deprived brain
was shutting down.Copy !req
331. A flood of endorphins
and serotonin was released.Copy !req
332. That's what gave
you the visions.Copy !req
333. No. Believe me.
It wasn't chemicals.Copy !req
334. I've done every
hallucinogenic there is.Copy !req
335. This was way
bigger than that.Copy !req
336. There's something out there.Copy !req
337. Something more.Copy !req
338. Hey, can I have
my knife back?Copy !req
339. Nope.Copy !req
340. Who the hell
isn't a doctor?Copy !req
341. House said we can't talk.Copy !req
342. He meant we can't
talk about the case.Copy !req
343. House is just
jerking us around.Copy !req
344. That's what he does.Copy !req
345. You're not curious.Copy !req
346. Only one reason you
wouldn't be curious.Copy !req
347. We should talk
about the case.Copy !req
348. He's punishing us
for wasting time.Copy !req
349. Maybe we shouldn't
be wasting this time.Copy !req
350. Close that door.Copy !req
351. You're going to
get us all fired.Copy !req
352. We need to find a link between
fainting and trouble swallowing.Copy !req
353. We need to know if it's
dysphagia or full-blown achalasia.Copy !req
354. Paraganglioma.Copy !req
355. How would a neo-plastic growth
in his abdomen explain...Copy !req
356. Not his abdomen.
In his neck.Copy !req
357. A carotid body tumor
causes trouble swallowing.Copy !req
358. Food presses against the vagus
nerve and causes the fainting.Copy !req
359. So, if this guy has cancer,
we get to keep our jobs.Copy !req
360. If he's healthy,
we're fired.Copy !req
361. We need a CT to prove it.Copy !req
362. And we need the women not to figure
it out while we're sitting here.Copy !req
363. And does House's computer
have a built-in microphone?Copy !req
364. There is a potential toxicity
with an experimental treatment.Copy !req
365. I was never here.Copy !req
366. Blood pressure is remaining
stable through 60 degrees.Copy !req
367. No pauses on his EKG,
no nausea.Copy !req
368. Our treatment worked.Copy !req
369. I need our patient.Copy !req
370. Syncope's cured, Amber.
It's over.Copy !req
371. You obviously haven't stressed
his system hard enough.Copy !req
372. You crank it up high
enough, anyone will pass out.Copy !req
373. This is incredible!Copy !req
374. This is the most
I've moved in 20 years.Copy !req
375. The tilt table test showed
that the patient's EKG,Copy !req
376. BP and pulse remained normal, despite...Copy !req
377. Who are you, Thirteen?Copy !req
378. My name's in the file.Copy !req
379. The fact that you won't answer my questionsCopy !req
380. tells me more about
you than answers could.Copy !req
381. No, it doesn't.Copy !req
382. We turned the thing
up to 95 degrees...Copy !req
383. You don't think that
non-answers tell me anything?Copy !req
384. Sure. Just not as
much as actual answers.Copy !req
385. That's why
they're called answers.Copy !req
386. They tell me
you're hiding something.Copy !req
387. Tells you
I'm hiding everything.Copy !req
388. Tells me you've got
something worth hiding.Copy !req
389. Was it Turkish prison?
Gay porn?Copy !req
390. You killed a man just 'cause he
was asking too many questions?Copy !req
391. Can I finish reporting on the patient?Copy !req
392. No need.Copy !req
393. See you in an hour or so.Copy !req
394. Got to set some stuff up.Copy !req
395. Thank you all for
coming to tribal council.Copy !req
396. A man of your integrity, I
feel I can trust, Big Love.Copy !req
397. And I don't call you that
'cause you're a Mormon.Copy !req
398. Where's your
team's sixth man?Copy !req
399. She went rogue.
Broke the rules.Copy !req
400. You also sinned. You have no
right to cast the first stone.Copy !req
401. And atheists have no
right to quote scripture.Copy !req
402. The rules said, "No talking. "Copy !req
403. I told them not to talk.Copy !req
404. Out loud.Copy !req
405. We were trying to
save a man's life.Copy !req
406. Key word being "trying".Copy !req
407. Tilt table test confirmed
that you guys were wrong.Copy !req
408. You're fired.Copy !req
409. The prodigal son returneth.Copy !req
410. You're also fired.Copy !req
411. We thought there was a tumor
on the patient's esophagus.Copy !req
412. We were right about the area,
wrong about the diagnosis.Copy !req
413. Turns out the esophagus is just
straightening. It's scleroderma.Copy !req
414. Explains the syncope and the choking.Copy !req
415. He needs steroids.Copy !req
416. You did a CT scan?
Obviously.Copy !req
417. After you were
already proven wrong?Copy !req
418. Good for you.Copy !req
419. It's too bad you're wrong.Copy !req
420. Straightening indicates
weakening, not hardening.Copy !req
421. SMA explains
the weakening.Copy !req
422. Strongyloides infection
explains everything else.Copy !req
423. You ladies have the honor to
give the patient a feeding tube.Copy !req
424. Discharge him.
Show up for work tomorrow.Copy !req
425. The rest of you...
You're a disappointment.Copy !req
426. You make me want
to stop dangling.Copy !req
427. It was the best
two weeks of my life.Copy !req
428. I think I will miss you most
of all, Ridiculously Old Fraud.Copy !req
429. Do you think
House could be wrong?Copy !req
430. I thought he fired you.Copy !req
431. No. He fired the men.Copy !req
432. I don't think he's wrong.Copy !req
433. If he is,
how would I prove it?Copy !req
434. I just said
I don't think he is.Copy !req
435. Well, thinking
isn't good enough.Copy !req
436. You have to run a blood test
for anticentromere antibodies.Copy !req
437. Would you mind
running the labs?Copy !req
438. You can't.Copy !req
439. Well, I can, but...Copy !req
440. No, I was making a statement.Copy !req
441. You've been fired.Copy !req
442. So, you no longer
have lab privileges.Copy !req
443. You weren't
coming here for advice.Copy !req
444. You were coming here to con
a favor to save your job.Copy !req
445. Sorry. I'm not working for him anymore,Copy !req
446. but he can still
make my life miserable.Copy !req
447. And you have a chance
to make his life miserable.Copy !req
448. I'm insulted.Copy !req
449. You conned Cameron by
appealing to her humanity...Copy !req
450. I told her what
she wanted to hear.Copy !req
451. And you told me what you
thought I wanted to hear.Copy !req
452. If it's any consolation, I think
your motives are more interesting.Copy !req
453. I cannot believe
he fired you.Copy !req
454. Go draw his blood.Copy !req
455. I'll meet you in the lab when I'm done here.Copy !req
456. Guess you didn't
find your tumor.Copy !req
457. The other doctors tell
you that you were fine?Copy !req
458. Yeah, in the sense it's just
my disease getting worse.Copy !req
459. You come to terms
with this disease.Copy !req
460. You know it's there.
You know it's waiting.Copy !req
461. And every now and again
it takes something away.Copy !req
462. Took my walking.
Took my modesty.Copy !req
463. Now, it's taking one
of my last pleasures.Copy !req
464. Well, there's
an outside shotCopy !req
465. that something
other than the SMACopy !req
466. is causing your
eating problems.Copy !req
467. And if it is, we can
fix it, remove that tube.Copy !req
468. Is that my blood?
It's green.Copy !req
469. What does that mean?Copy !req
470. It means I'm not fired.Copy !req
471. Is he a Vulcan?Copy !req
472. If no, what makes
Nimoy bleed green?Copy !req
473. Are we officially
un-fired?Copy !req
474. How do we know she didn't
fake the green blood?Copy !req
475. 'Cause that would be stupid.Copy !req
476. And while she may be manipulative,
borderline evil, shallow...Copy !req
477. They get it.
I'm not stupid.Copy !req
478. What contrast did
you use for the CT?Copy !req
479. ICM.Copy !req
480. His kidneys aren't working.Copy !req
481. They didn't filter the contrast,
which, in ICM, is green.Copy !req
482. Ten points.Copy !req
483. Okay, let's add kidney failure
to our list of symptoms.Copy !req
484. What are these points? Is that
how you're deciding who to fire?Copy !req
485. I'm going to fire the next person
who asks me who I'm going to fire.Copy !req
486. Now we're on
the point system?Copy !req
487. What happened to
men against women?Copy !req
488. Forget the game.Copy !req
489. What do you mean,
forget the game?Copy !req
490. I mean,
forget the damn game!Copy !req
491. This guy's
kidneys are failing.Copy !req
492. We need to
diagnose exactly...Copy !req
493. I thought
we were diagnosing.Copy !req
494. You were diagnosing.
Now, I am, too.Copy !req
495. I thought that Thirteen was
right about the strongyloides.Copy !req
496. I was obviously wrong.Copy !req
497. Okay, kidney failure,
aspiration, fainting. Go.Copy !req
498. Kidney failure could be the
result of a gram negative bacteria.Copy !req
499. Our patient wears
a catheter full-time.Copy !req
500. It virtually guarantees
bacterial infection.Copy !req
501. Which could have
migrated up to his kidneys.Copy !req
502. Infection stresses his already
weakened system, makes his SMA worse.Copy !req
503. That explains
the choking and fainting.Copy !req
504. Put him on
an IV amp and gent.Copy !req
505. Our team's scleroderma diagnosis still holds.Copy !req
506. The test could have
been negative becauseCopy !req
507. the blood was tainted with the contrast.Copy !req
508. Do a skin biopsy.Copy !req
509. Get a side of
lymph node to confirm.Copy !req
510. I could
have you fired.Copy !req
511. You already had me fired.Copy !req
512. Just proves that I can.Copy !req
513. Were the men wrong?Copy !req
514. No.Copy !req
515. That doesn't change the fact...
Why are you yelling at me?Copy !req
516. Because performing
tests for someoneCopy !req
517. who is not a doctor
in this hospital...Copy !req
518. You're frustrated.
You want help, I'm here.Copy !req
519. If you just need to vent,
leave a message.Copy !req
520. I like him better like this.
You?Copy !req
521. Patient developed
pneumonia.Copy !req
522. His lungs
are filling fast.Copy !req
523. We started him
on antibiotics.Copy !req
524. Nothing. We were wrong.Copy !req
525. And you're here to say?Copy !req
526. We were wrong, too.Copy !req
527. He doesn't
have scleroderma.Copy !req
528. Biopsy revealed
no fibrotic changes.Copy !req
529. Cervical lymph node
has black flecks.Copy !req
530. Just small areas of necrosis.
It's nothing.Copy !req
531. You say, "Nothing,"
I say, "Cancer. "Copy !req
532. It's a bit of a stretch
to jump right to cancer.Copy !req
533. I'm not jumping.Copy !req
534. Broad specs haven't worked,
so it's not bacterial.Copy !req
535. Failing liver despite treatment
suggests it's not fungal.Copy !req
536. And her high lactic
acidosis points towardsCopy !req
537. anaplastic
large cell lymphoma.Copy !req
538. Also suggests infection, which is
a lot easier and safer to treat.Copy !req
539. Large cell lymphoma
is incredibly aggressive.Copy !req
540. She'll be dead in a week
if we follow the textbooks.Copy !req
541. Unless it's infection, in
which case you irradiate her,Copy !req
542. and she'll be
dead in a day.Copy !req
543. And I know you have some
experience with that.Copy !req
544. I've seen
doctors do this before.Copy !req
545. Go back to
the scene of the crime,Copy !req
546. if you're right this time, you
purge yourself of past ghosts.Copy !req
547. I know
it's contrary to protocol.Copy !req
548. But I think
it's more likely...Copy !req
549. Ghosts are
there for a reason.Copy !req
550. So you don't make
the same mistake twice.Copy !req
551. Switch her over to
third-generation cephalosporin.Copy !req
552. You want to remove
his eye?Copy !req
553. Who told you?Copy !req
554. You booked the OR.Copy !req
555. Good.Copy !req
556. You can't beat
me in a foot race.Copy !req
557. I thought we were dancing.Copy !req
558. Cervical lymph node
is a garbage dump.Copy !req
559. A very small one.Copy !req
560. Just one truck comes and
it only comes from one home.Copy !req
561. Al Gore would be appalled.
The home...Copy !req
562. The home is the right eye.
I get it.Copy !req
563. Do a biopsy.Copy !req
564. On my way.Copy !req
565. You're not
doing a biopsy.Copy !req
566. You ordered
an orbital exenteration.Copy !req
567. Right. Because I don't want
to remove a little, tiny piece,Copy !req
568. sit in the lab and confirm
what I already know,Copy !req
569. while my patient
drowns in his own fluid.Copy !req
570. But if you want me to,
I absolutely will.Copy !req
571. How advanced
is the pneumonia?Copy !req
572. It's taking
college courses.Copy !req
573. Hey, Wilson!Copy !req
574. I'm going to cut
some cripple's eye out!Copy !req
575. Want to come watch?Copy !req
576. Good times.Copy !req
577. We good to go?Copy !req
578. I thought melanoma
was skin cancer.Copy !req
579. Technically, it's cancer
of the pigment cells.Copy !req
580. The same cells that
give your iris its color.Copy !req
581. Cancer?Copy !req
582. Why not? What else
can God throw at me?Copy !req
583. Hail, locusts,
smiting of the first born...Copy !req
584. All depends on
how evil you've been.Copy !req
585. House.Copy !req
586. If it's cancer, it's
spread everywhere, right?Copy !req
587. That's what's in my lungs?
My kidneys?Copy !req
588. There is a chance, by removing
the eye, to get the primary tumor,Copy !req
589. and three
courses of radiation,Copy !req
590. that could...Copy !req
591. Could what?
A few months? Years?Copy !req
592. More likely months.Copy !req
593. Any of your other doctors
have any cheerier diagnoses?Copy !req
594. If they do, they're wrong.
This is the answer.Copy !req
595. It's the only
way to help you.Copy !req
596. I already can't walk.
I can't eat.Copy !req
597. You're telling me
that the rest of my lifeCopy !req
598. is in this bed,
puking and pain?Copy !req
599. We can manage the pain.Copy !req
600. I'd rather just
get this over with.Copy !req
601. I've been trapped in this
useless body long enough.Copy !req
602. It'd be nice
to finally get out.Copy !req
603. Get out and go where?Copy !req
604. I mean, you think you're
going to sprout wingsCopy !req
605. and start flying around
with the other angels?Copy !req
606. Don't be an idiot.Copy !req
607. There is no "after".
There's just this.Copy !req
608. House!Copy !req
609. You can't let a dying man
take solace in his beliefs?Copy !req
610. His beliefs are stupid.Copy !req
611. Everybody lies.Copy !req
612. Some for good reasons,
some for bad.Copy !req
613. This would have been
a fantastic reason to lie.Copy !req
614. Hi. Greg House.Copy !req
615. Why can't you just let
him have his fairy tale?Copy !req
616. If it gives him
comfort to imagine beachesCopy !req
617. and loved ones and life
outside a wheelchair...Copy !req
618. Are there 72 virgins, too?Copy !req
619. It's over.Copy !req
620. He's got days,
maybe hours left.Copy !req
621. What pain does it cause you if he
spends that time with a peaceful smile?Copy !req
622. What sick pleasure
do you get in makingCopy !req
623. damn sure he's filled
with fear and dread?Copy !req
624. He shouldn't be making
a decision based on a lie.Copy !req
625. Misery is
better than nothing.Copy !req
626. You don't know there's
nothing. You haven't been there.Copy !req
627. Oh, God, I am tired of that argument.Copy !req
628. I don't have to go to Detroit
to know that it smells.Copy !req
629. Yes. Detroit,
the afterlife, same thing.Copy !req
630. You're not
getting enough oxygen,Copy !req
631. so we're inserting a tube
directly into your lungs.Copy !req
632. It should help us drain
some of this excess fluid.Copy !req
633. Should make you
a little more comfortable.Copy !req
634. SATs are
still dropping.Copy !req
635. The fluid's clear.Copy !req
636. If this was cancer,
there should be blood.Copy !req
637. Call House.Copy !req
638. He just paged me.Copy !req
639. Dr. House!Copy !req
640. Maybe it wasCopy !req
641. just an accident.Copy !req
642. It wasn't an accident.Copy !req
643. Think his nihilism got the best of
him and he tried to kill himself?Copy !req
644. He paged me.
He paged you?Copy !req
645. Why you?
I assume because...Copy !req
646. Don't assume anything.Copy !req
647. Don't fall into that trap.Copy !req
648. Is he okay?Copy !req
649. Burned his hand pretty good.Copy !req
650. His heart stopped
for nearly a minute.Copy !req
651. But your cohort
managed to restart it.Copy !req
652. But he has not
regained consciousness.Copy !req
653. So, since I have you all here,Copy !req
654. we should probably talk
about your actual patient.Copy !req
655. Clear fluid from the lungs indicates
that it's probably not cancer.Copy !req
656. So it would be nice if we
could come up with a new idea.Copy !req
657. You're an idiot.
You nearly killed yourself.Copy !req
658. That was the whole idea.Copy !req
659. You wanted to kill yourself?Copy !req
660. I wanted to
nearly kill myself.Copy !req
661. Is he better?Copy !req
662. No.Copy !req
663. But he doesn't have cancer.Copy !req
664. We think it might be
eosinophilic pneumonia.Copy !req
665. Maybe you didn't want to die,
but you didn't care if you lived.Copy !req
666. You insisted that I needed to see for myself.Copy !req
667. Was he discharged?Copy !req
668. No. He's dying.Copy !req
669. You've already had
two near-death experiences.Copy !req
670. Not that guy,
the guy in the car accident.Copy !req
671. With the knife.Copy !req
672. I need to talk to him.Copy !req
673. He died almost an hour ago.Copy !req
674. Apparently, it's bad
to electrocute yourselfCopy !req
675. within days of suffering
massive internal injuries.Copy !req
676. Why did you need
to talk to him?Copy !req
677. Did you see something?Copy !req
678. Eosinophilic pneumonia.Copy !req
679. House? What did you see?Copy !req
680. Nothing.Copy !req
681. Whose idea was that?Copy !req
682. Brennan.Copy !req
683. "Nothing," you don't want to
talk about it, or, "Nothing... "Copy !req
684. Which one's Brennan?Copy !req
685. Is he the ridiculously
old guy?Copy !req
686. House, you've got
to talk about this.Copy !req
687. If it's aggressive enough it might
have gotten past the steroids.Copy !req
688. Start him
on cyclophosphamide.Copy !req
689. I already did.Copy !req
690. Just looking at you hurts.Copy !req
691. I'm gonna order up
some extra pain meds.Copy !req
692. I love you.Copy !req
693. How fast will this work?Copy !req
694. New meds should start helping
in minutes, okay? Hang in there.Copy !req
695. Vacutainer's full.
I need to replace it.Copy !req
696. I don't think it's working.Copy !req
697. Try and relax.Copy !req
698. You must be wrong.Copy !req
699. Stop talking.Copy !req
700. Hurry up and get
the chest tube working.Copy !req
701. Okay. I got it.Copy !req
702. Can you get Hoover?Copy !req
703. I can't...Copy !req
704. Can you put myCopy !req
705. handCopy !req
706. on his head?Copy !req
707. It's okay. Don't worry.Copy !req
708. I'm not scared.Copy !req
709. Oh, God.Copy !req
710. Time of death...Copy !req
711. You're looking better.Copy !req
712. Stark's dead.Copy !req
713. What are you doing?Copy !req
714. Going to see our patient.Copy !req
715. He's dead.Copy !req
716. "Dead" is not a diagnosis.Copy !req
717. You really shouldn't be...Copy !req
718. Shut up and give me my cane.Copy !req
719. I assume we're all fired.Copy !req
720. Should I fire myself, too?Copy !req
721. I thought it was strongyloides,
then I thought it was cancer.Copy !req
722. A little help, here?Copy !req
723. Ready? One, two...Copy !req
724. Why did you call me?Copy !req
725. Because if I pooped
myself in front of Wilson,Copy !req
726. I'd never hear the end of it.Copy !req
727. But why not one
of the others?Copy !req
728. You always have that
phone in your hand.Copy !req
729. We all have cell phones,
that's not the reason. What is?Copy !req
730. If I died,
you'd never get the job.Copy !req
731. I knew you wouldn't let that happen.Copy !req
732. You don't think anybody
else has any reason to care?Copy !req
733. I think this is starting to come back to me.Copy !req
734. It's right,
left, then repeat.Copy !req
735. Yeah. That works.Copy !req
736. What did we miss?Copy !req
737. If we knew,
he wouldn't be dead.Copy !req
738. So, that's it?
You're just gonna give up?Copy !req
739. No. We were defeated.
It's over.Copy !req
740. Patient presented
with syncope.Copy !req
741. We thought it was thread
worms, gave him ivermectin.Copy !req
742. Thank you.Copy !req
743. The patient seemed better
until his blood turned green.Copy !req
744. Can we at least
remove the body beforeCopy !req
745. launching into a purely academic exercise?Copy !req
746. The patient didn't respond
to antibiotics or steroids.Copy !req
747. You okay, boy?Copy !req
748. What's wrong with the dog?Copy !req
749. He's dead.Copy !req
750. There are only
a handful of virusesCopy !req
751. that can cross
between dogs and humans.Copy !req
752. But they may not
be connected at all.Copy !req
753. The dog was old.
I've seen it before.Copy !req
754. They hang on way past
their normal life expectancyCopy !req
755. to take care
of their masters.Copy !req
756. Did you watch
him take the pills?Copy !req
757. The ivermectin.
Did you watch the patientCopy !req
758. put them in his mouth and swallow them?Copy !req
759. I don't know. I think so.Copy !req
760. What kind of dog is that?Copy !req
761. English Shepherd.Copy !req
762. That's in the collie family,
right?Copy !req
763. Not really.Copy !req
764. But they share
the MDR-1 gene?Copy !req
765. Yeah.Copy !req
766. What happens when you give a dog
with the MDR-1 gene ivermectin?Copy !req
767. They don't.Copy !req
768. I mean, it's used to treat
heartworms in most dogs,Copy !req
769. but it would be
fatal if they...Copy !req
770. Look familiar?Copy !req
771. I think the last
time you saw it,Copy !req
772. it didn't have that dead
dog's teeth marks on it.Copy !req
773. I just put it on the bed
tray to get him some water.Copy !req
774. When I asked you if you watched
the patient swallow the pills,Copy !req
775. the right answer was, "No. "Copy !req
776. Take his body
down to the morgue.Copy !req
777. If you hadn't treated this patient
as a game, he wouldn't be dead.Copy !req
778. Feeling much better,
thank you.Copy !req
779. I'm supposed to
show you sympathy?Copy !req
780. He died while his attending
was lying on a hospital bedCopy !req
781. because he stuck
a knife in a wall socket.Copy !req
782. He died because
a doctor made a mistake.Copy !req
783. She was an idiot.Copy !req
784. You employed her.Copy !req
785. You're responsible.Copy !req
786. Dr. Foreman.Copy !req
787. How's she doing?Copy !req
788. Fever's gone. AST and ALT
are back within normal range.Copy !req
789. She should be out
of here in a few days.Copy !req
790. Gutsy call.Copy !req
791. Thanks.Copy !req
792. It wasn't a compliment.Copy !req
793. If you were wrong,
she'd be dead.Copy !req
794. I was sure...Copy !req
795. No, you weren't.
You couldn't be.Copy !req
796. There's a reason
we have rules.Copy !req
797. If every doctor did whatever
his gut told him was right,Copy !req
798. we'd have a lot more
dead bodies to deal with.Copy !req
799. It won't happen again.Copy !req
800. Yes, it will.Copy !req
801. Because you confuse saving her
life with doing the right thing.Copy !req
802. I'm sorry, Dr. Foreman,
you're fired.Copy !req
803. As soon as the pathologist
cut into the lungs,Copy !req
804. we saw the threadworms.Copy !req
805. Do you think it's
fair that I firedCopy !req
806. all the other
members of your teamCopy !req
