1. I'll be right there.
Copy !req
2. Take your time.
Copy !req
3. You mind if I get a drink of water?
Copy !req
4. No, not at all. Help yourself.
Copy !req
5. Not exactly beach reading.
Copy !req
6. Do you understand?
Copy !req
7. Most of these I can get through,
but that one?
Copy !req
8. Can't get past the dust jacket.
Copy !req
9. - Where's Ted?
- Laid off.
Copy !req
10. Company's going
with per diem workers.
Copy !req
11. You don't have to pay overtime,
health insurance.
Copy !req
12. - That sucks.
- I don't mind. Really, I'm not...
Copy !req
13. a 40-hour-a-week kind of guy.
Copy !req
14. If I could just get you to sign.
Copy !req
15. Right.
Copy !req
16. Hang on one second.
I want to show you something.
Copy !req
17. You're gonna laugh,
Copy !req
18. but I swear, this guy James Sidas
looks exactly like you.
Copy !req
19. Wait a second.
Copy !req
20. This guy is you.
I saw a profile Nova did on you.
Copy !req
21. You're, like, the youngest guy
to ever graduate MIT?
Copy !req
22. - Standards were lower back then.
- You got an IQ of 178.
Copy !req
23. Published three books and 35 papers
Copy !req
24. all before the age of 18?
Copy !req
25. Sorry, I really need to get going.
So if I could get you to sign off.
Copy !req
26. All right. I'll trade you.
Copy !req
27. I'll sign...
if you'll sign.
Copy !req
28. - I'm not that guy anymore.
- Come on.
Copy !req
29. This is the most exciting thing
that's happened in this place in years.
Copy !req
30. Come on.
Copy !req
31. Don't be like that.
I'm paying you a compliment.
Copy !req
32. It's not that...
Copy !req
33. My hand's not working.
Copy !req
34. You okay?
Copy !req
35. - $2.32.
- Put it on Dr. Wilson's tab.
Copy !req
36. I don't know who Dr. Wilson is,
and we don't have tabs.
Copy !req
37. Do you know who I am?
Copy !req
38. Good.
Copy !req
39. But, sir...
Copy !req
40. I got it. It's all right.
Copy !req
41. Thanks.
Copy !req
42. Although I should make it clear
Copy !req
43. that for two bucks all you get
is top half, over the clothes.
Copy !req
44. Any plans for turkey day?
Copy !req
45. Go to my sister's for dinner. Why?
Copy !req
46. Just making pleasant conversation.
Copy !req
47. I've heard tell of folks doing such.
Copy !req
48. How'bout we talk about this?
Copy !req
49. 15-year-old.
Copy !req
50. - Recurring migraines, blurred vision.
- Great.
Copy !req
51. - Really?
- Sure.
Copy !req
52. There's no point in putting
a band together if we don't play.
Copy !req
53. Hold on.
Take this instead.
Copy !req
54. - I was expecting more resistance.
- That was the old me.
Copy !req
55. New me is static-guarded
and friction-free.
Copy !req
56. Enjoy your drumstick.
Copy !req
57. Ready to save some lives?
Copy !req
58. 32-year-old courier.
Copy !req
59. Ataxia, anemia, mild cough.
Copy !req
60. - CT was clear. Tox screen negative.
- What're you so excited about?
Copy !req
61. Why not?
Copy !req
62. Got all my starters back,
and a couple of first-class free agents.
Copy !req
63. I feel like Mike Tomlin.
Copy !req
64. Probably not as much as you do,
but you get the idea.
Copy !req
65. Ataxia and anemia could be viral.
Maybe West Nile?
Copy !req
66. No fever, lymph glands were normal.
Copy !req
67. - Anybody seen Wilson?
- Hyperbilirubinemia?
Copy !req
68. Yeah, like that's a real thing.
Copy !req
69. - Meningitis.
- Anemia's a stretch.
Copy !req
70. Page Dr. James Wilson at 558.
Copy !req
71. What about sickle cell?
Copy !req
72. - Guy's white.
- Whites can get it.
Copy !req
73. We get the tennis elbow
and all the money.
Copy !req
74. Let them have sickle cell.
Copy !req
75. - TTP's a better fit.
- He's right.
Copy !req
76. You thought I wouldn't agree with him?
Ever?
Copy !req
77. You didn't.
That's why he dumped you.
Copy !req
78. Oh, sorry. It was mutual.
Copy !req
79. We're cool, okay?
Nobody's angry, nobody's hurt.
Copy !req
80. Sounds passionate.
Copy !req
81. - TTP makes sense to me.
- Not to me.
Copy !req
82. - What if he had a history of...
- One big, happy family.
Copy !req
83. TTP it is.
Copy !req
84. Confirm with a blood smear
and adamts13 antibodies.
Copy !req
85. Dr. James Wilson, please dial 558.
Copy !req
86. - Can you cure it?
- TTP isn't completely curable,
Copy !req
87. but the symptoms are manageable
with the treatment.
Copy !req
88. Is this the treatment?
Copy !req
89. No, first we do a blood test
to confirm it.
Copy !req
90. - But he's gonna get better.
- Honey, that's what she's saying.
Copy !req
91. - I'm gonna be okay. Don't worry.
- How? You're in the hospital.
Copy !req
92. I'm gonna be fine.
Copy !req
93. You're sure
everything was fine before?
Copy !req
94. Given your educational background,
Copy !req
95. you'd could at least
find a job with a medical plan.
Copy !req
96. We have money.
Don't worry.
Copy !req
97. It's not that, it's just...
Copy !req
98. I want to make sure we have
all the information we should.
Copy !req
99. - My husband wouldn't lie.
- It's okay. He's just doing his job.
Copy !req
100. He just wants to make sure I'm not
a secret drug addict or an alcoholic.
Copy !req
101. Or hiding a history
of mental illness?
Copy !req
102. I work as a courier
because I want to.
Copy !req
103. - It's easy. I don't have to think.
- It's too hard to think.
Copy !req
104. No, just unpleasant.
Copy !req
105. No matter what I did,
it really wasn't good enough.
Copy !req
106. Then I met Dara.
Copy !req
107. She didn't care how smart I was
or what I might accomplish later.
Copy !req
108. It was the first time in my life
that I was really happy.
Copy !req
109. So I decided
I would rather be happy than smart.
Copy !req
110. You all right?
Copy !req
111. Sorry. I know you're not okay.
I mean...
Copy !req
112. She left.
Copy !req
113. Went back to Chicago.
Copy !req
114. Any chance of reconciliation?
Copy !req
115. Sure you don't want to grab a drink?
Copy !req
116. We could talk
about the perils of dating doctors.
Copy !req
117. - I wasn't dating Cameron.
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...
Copy !req
118. I know what you're doing
and I appreciate it,
Copy !req
119. but I've got it under control.
Copy !req
120. That's what you said
about the Dibala incident.
Copy !req
121. And obviously you didn't.
Copy !req
122. And talking about it
obviously made things so much better.
Copy !req
123. Didn't you think there was
something weird about that guy?
Copy !req
124. Not really. In fact,
he seemed pretty normal.
Copy !req
125. That's my point.
Copy !req
126. Guys with IQs off the chart
are usually completely...
Copy !req
127. abnormal.
Copy !req
128. Speaking of House,
why'd you come back?
Copy !req
129. - You must've taken a major pay cut.
- Life's too short to worry about money.
Copy !req
130. - And your wife?
- She's happy
Copy !req
131. to cut back on some things...
Copy !req
132. like sex.
Copy !req
133. - Why'd you come back?
- Why wouldn't I?
Copy !req
134. Like Foreman said, nobody's angry.
Copy !req
135. Nobody's hurt.
Copy !req
136. Schistocytes.
Copy !req
137. That means TTP.
Copy !req
138. Which is what we thought it'd be.
Remember? This is a good thing.
Copy !req
139. This is an easy thing. And House
doesn't take cases that are easy,
Copy !req
140. which means it's not TTP,
Copy !req
141. and he wants to see
how long it takes us to catch up to him.
Copy !req
142. Schistocytes suggest TTP.
Copy !req
143. Good. Now what?
Copy !req
144. Normally, we'd try plasmapheresis,
Copy !req
145. but the patient
has an albumin colloid allergy.
Copy !req
146. So?
Copy !req
147. So that means we have
to give him a splenectomy.
Copy !req
148. Yes, it does.
Copy !req
149. - Do you know where he is?
- Not in here.
Copy !req
150. You're sure you want us
to take out his spleen.
Copy !req
151. Is that what a "splenectomy" is?
I thought it was an ice cream treat.
Copy !req
152. So you do really think he has TTP?
You're not just testing us.
Copy !req
153. Yeah, like I have time for games.
Copy !req
154. - So why did you really take this case?
- Isn't it obvious?
Copy !req
155. I'm fishing for a dinner invite.
Copy !req
156. Missed you
at breakfast this morning.
Copy !req
157. And lunch.
Copy !req
158. I had a dentist appointment.
Copy !req
159. You know where Cuddy's sister lives?
Copy !req
160. You see, this is why
I don't answer your urgent pages.
Copy !req
161. Because they're not urgent pages.
Copy !req
162. I've decided what I'm gonna do
about Cuddy and Lucas.
Copy !req
163. - I'm going to break them up.
- Of course.
Copy !req
164. It's given me a purpose in life,
a goal, a raison d'etre.
Copy !req
165. Albeit a selfish,
mean-spirited, childish raison.
Copy !req
166. I think of it more as benevolent.
Copy !req
167. There's only two outcomes
for their relationship.
Copy !req
168. They split, or they stay
together forever.
Copy !req
169. If it's split, then the sooner
it happens the better for everyone.
Copy !req
170. If it's stay,
Copy !req
171. then my meddling won't matter.
Copy !req
172. In fact, if they survive it,
Copy !req
173. it might even make
their bond stronger.
Copy !req
174. How you manage
to elevate your narcissism
Copy !req
175. to beneficence is masterful.
Copy !req
176. And I've decided
to do a Thanksgiving dinner.
Copy !req
177. Just 'cause I'm sentimental.
Copy !req
178. Dinner is at Cuddy's sister's,
which brings us back...
Copy !req
179. House, don't.
Copy !req
180. I fished for an invite.
Cuddy wasn't biting, I'll have to crash.
Copy !req
181. I have no idea
where Cuddy's sister lives.
Copy !req
182. Ask and thou shalt receive.
Copy !req
183. You can't honestly think
I would help you with this.
Copy !req
184. Not help me, help Cuddy.
Remember?
Copy !req
185. If you don't get it, I'll be forced
to use more nefarious methods.
Copy !req
186. Happy holidays.
Copy !req
187. Looks great.
Copy !req
188. So he's all better?
Copy !req
189. Probably be on some long-term meds,
and he's about ten ounces lighter.
Copy !req
190. Other than that,
won't even know it's gone.
Copy !req
191. Did you hear that, honey?
You're gonna be just fine.
Copy !req
192. When can I get out of here?
Copy !req
193. Everything checks out,
less than a week.
Copy !req
194. Good, 'cause those boxes
aren't gonna deliver colors.
Copy !req
195. - Colors?
- Green...
Copy !req
196. and orange...
Copy !req
197. and ceiling.
Copy !req
198. - Mr. Sidas, do you know where you are?
- Chewing.
Copy !req
199. Shirt...
Copy !req
200. He's stroking.
Call the cath lab now.
Copy !req
201. My God.
Copy !req
202. Blood flow's restored.
There appears to be no permanent damage.
Copy !req
203. Good news is it turns out to be
Copy !req
204. an exciting, action-packed
thrill ride of a case after all.
Copy !req
205. Bad news is
we took out his spleen for nothing.
Copy !req
206. Thank God he's still got
his appendix and tonsils.
Copy !req
207. So what looks like TTP,
acts like TTP,
Copy !req
208. tests like TTP, but isn't TTP?
Copy !req
209. CNS vasculitis explains ataxia,
and anemia,
Copy !req
210. - maybe the stroke.
- CT would've picked up something.
Copy !req
211. Hi, I'm Greg House,
a friend of your sister Lisa.
Copy !req
212. Could be DIC.
Copy !req
213. Lisa Cuddy.
Copy !req
214. Sorry. Wrong number.
Copy !req
215. - You gonna ask?
- He's got a logical explanation.
Copy !req
216. Can't be DIC.
No hemorrhaging.
Copy !req
217. And I'm calling all 12 Julia Cuddys
within a 100-mile radius.
Copy !req
218. See?
Completely reasonable.
Copy !req
219. - Acquired pancytopenia.
- WBC's normal.
Copy !req
220. You're...
Copy !req
221. You're Lisa's sister, right?
Copy !req
222. You sure?
'Cause you are number 12.
Copy !req
223. Maybe she got married
and changed her name.
Copy !req
224. - Otis Campbell.
- Probably kept her first name.
Copy !req
225. The mnemonic for toxins.
O for organophosphates,
Copy !req
226. - t for tricyclics, I for insulin.
- Or as I remember it, "moist place".
Copy !req
227. That's "place" spelled
with two "l's and a silent "b".
Copy !req
228. - Except the tox screen was negative.
- Standard...
Copy !req
229. Unstandard toxins
don't show up on it.
Copy !req
230. You two do an unstandard tox screen,
you two search his home.
Copy !req
231. Otis Campbell's
got to be hiding somewhere.
Copy !req
232. Smartest guy in the world,
and this is the best he can do.
Copy !req
233. Maybe he's doing what he loves.
Delivering boxes was a childhood dream.
Copy !req
234. Soda, processed cheese,
marshmallow spread.
Copy !req
235. Nothing in here
is capable of going bad.
Copy !req
236. Ibuprofen, eye drops,
Copy !req
237. cough syrup.
Copy !req
238. You want to come over
for Thanksgiving dinner?
Copy !req
239. You never asked me over before.
Why now?
Copy !req
240. I never thought of it.
Copy !req
241. But now that we're both
on the team...
Copy !req
242. And my wife left me?
Copy !req
243. Is that a bad reason?
Copy !req
244. But I'm okay.
Copy !req
245. On both the food and friends.
Copy !req
246. Mice.
Copy !req
247. Leptospirosis could explain
the ataxia and the anemia.
Copy !req
248. But not without a fever.
Copy !req
249. You have someone to talk to?
Copy !req
250. - Yeah.
- Who?
Copy !req
251. What, you want names?
Copy !req
252. Look, you lost a friend.
I get it.
Copy !req
253. But I'm not Kutner.
Copy !req
254. Good, 'cause Kutner never
used to come over for dinner.
Copy !req
255. I'm gonna pretend there's something
interesting over here so you'll shut up.
Copy !req
256. Actually, there is.
Copy !req
257. He's got sketches
of atomic structure,
Copy !req
258. This one's full of math proofs.
Copy !req
259. They're all old.
Nothing since '96.
Copy !req
260. This isn't some homework assignment
his parents forced on him.
Copy !req
261. This is passion.
Copy !req
262. Why would he stop?
Copy !req
263. Marriage destroyed his soul.
Copy !req
264. Maybe...
Copy !req
265. it was just the booze.
Copy !req
266. - Thank you, you've been wonderful.
- As have you.
Copy !req
267. - Be well.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
268. You're helping.
Copy !req
269. Voluntarily.
Copy !req
270. - He's done six already.
- Figured you might be backed up.
Copy !req
271. Holiday season and all.
Copy !req
272. Which one of us slipped through
the wormhole into another dimension?
Copy !req
273. I have always loved to travel,
and paint.
Copy !req
274. Lucky number seven.
Copy !req
275. You're trying to be nice,
Copy !req
276. but I know you have an agenda.
Copy !req
277. Sexy and smart.
Copy !req
278. - Lucas is a lucky guy.
- The question is,
Copy !req
279. is this a bad agenda or a good one?
Copy !req
280. Either you're trying
to screw with me,
Copy !req
281. or you're trying to show me
that you've really changed.
Copy !req
282. So which is it?
Copy !req
283. I'm dying to know.
Copy !req
284. What are you doing for Thanksgiving?
Copy !req
285. Peace in our time.
Copy !req
286. Cost me 45 minutes of clinic duty.
Copy !req
287. This is a three-hour drive.
Copy !req
288. Have you considered the possibility
this is a fake address?
Copy !req
289. She'd send me
to a vacant lot for Thanksgiving?
Copy !req
290. - If she's smart.
- She is.
Copy !req
291. I ran it through motor vehicles.
Copy !req
292. - Good as gold.
- This cannot end well.
Copy !req
293. I don't want it to end well.
You should come as my date.
Copy !req
294. You're not gonna want to miss this.
Copy !req
295. The unstandard tox screen
was as clean as the standard one.
Copy !req
296. But we found vodka
stashed away in his place.
Copy !req
297. What's with the ties?
Copy !req
298. Makes me look adorably
non-threatening.
Copy !req
299. Party or party hearty?
Copy !req
300. Liver failure
would explain the symptoms.
Copy !req
301. Party.
Copy !req
302. So, guy's a brainiac,
Copy !req
303. and his secret drug of choice
is booze?
Copy !req
304. - Kinda pedestrian, don't you think?
- Talk to him, he's a pedestrian guy.
Copy !req
305. With pedestrian alcoholism.
Copy !req
306. Biopsy can wait
until after Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
307. Assuming the biopsy's gonna tell us
exactly what we expect,
Copy !req
308. it can wait till after New Year's.
Copy !req
309. On the other hand, Taub and Thirteen
Copy !req
310. can do it today.
Copy !req
311. - Why us?
- Juniority.
Copy !req
312. Welcome back.
Copy !req
313. - What do you want us to do?
- Same as me.
Copy !req
314. Have a happy Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
315. I'm not an alcoholic.
Copy !req
316. You just hide vodka
around the house for fun.
Copy !req
317. I drink, just not a lot.
Copy !req
318. Since when do you drink at all?
Copy !req
319. I have one shot when I get home, baby,
that's it.
Copy !req
320. - So why lie about it?
- Because it's not important.
Copy !req
321. - What difference does it make?
- That you drink every day by yourself?
Copy !req
322. I have one lousy drink, okay?
Copy !req
323. Ever seen me drunk?
Copy !req
324. You've obviously
been drinking enough to hurt your liver.
Copy !req
325. - My liver is fine.
- Hold still.
Copy !req
326. There we go.
Copy !req
327. This test is a waste of time.
Copy !req
328. All right. Very good.
Copy !req
329. Here, we got this.
Copy !req
330. Julia?
Copy !req
331. No, I'm the house sitter.
Copy !req
332. They're in Hawaii for the week.
Copy !req
333. - Happy Thanksgiving.
- Happy Thanksgiving, you guys.
Copy !req
334. You must be Dr. House.
Copy !req
335. I was told I should offer you
a turkey sandwich.
Copy !req
336. Tuna salad.
Closest thing they had to turkey.
Copy !req
337. Thanks, but I'm hoping
I can get out of here
Copy !req
338. to catch the end of dinner
with my wife.
Copy !req
339. - Anything?
- No cirrhosis,
Copy !req
340. - no scarring, no infection.
- Blood panel?
Copy !req
341. Elevated albumen: 7.2.
Copy !req
342. - That's it?
- Everything else is fine.
Copy !req
343. So it was a waste of time.
Copy !req
344. Unless it's not his liver
that's elevating his albumen.
Copy !req
345. - It's his kidneys.
- Renal failure. Explains the anemia.
Copy !req
346. If he developed hyperkalemia,
that would explain the ataxia.
Copy !req
347. - But the stroke...
- Ischemic encephalopathy.
Copy !req
348. Nice.
Copy !req
349. Except we have to stay
and test his kidneys.
Copy !req
350. Key under the mat.
Copy !req
351. - There's no key under the mat.
- Right.
Copy !req
352. You need to replace
one of your kitchen windows.
Copy !req
353. I helped myself to your wine cellar.
I'll leave a buck on the way out.
Copy !req
354. - You're not right for her.
- And you are?
Copy !req
355. Less wrong.
Copy !req
356. Then I started thinking...
Copy !req
357. What was I saying?
Copy !req
358. You were saying it's late, and...
Copy !req
359. She invited me.
Copy !req
360. She didn't know if she should.
Copy !req
361. She was trying to figure out
if I really have changed or...
Copy !req
362. if I'm still the same old S.O.B.
I've always been.
Copy !req
363. She always gave me a chance.
Copy !req
364. 832 chances.
Copy !req
365. And I used up every one of them.
Copy !req
366. 832's her limit.
Copy !req
367. Make a note.
Copy !req
368. How 'bout a cup of coffee?
Copy !req
369. It's just instant, but...
Copy !req
370. I'm pathetic.
Copy !req
371. I don't deserve her.
Copy !req
372. Maybe you should crash here.
Copy !req
373. It's a sofa bed.
Copy !req
374. I love her.
Copy !req
375. Patient's liver's fine.
His kidneys are shot.
Copy !req
376. And where is House?
Copy !req
377. He left a message.
He's not coming in today.
Copy !req
378. What causes kidney failure?
Copy !req
379. - Rhabdomyolysis.
- No edema.
Copy !req
380. - You had a wonderful Thanksgiving?
- I don't remember.
Copy !req
381. So I guess I did.
Copy !req
382. Multiple myeloma.
Copy !req
383. - No bone pain.
- You got drunk alone?
Copy !req
384. That would be a sign
that I need to talk to you about this.
Copy !req
385. - Polycystic kidney disease?
- No UTIs or flank pain.
Copy !req
386. What if his cough
is more than just a cold?
Copy !req
387. He hasn't been coughing.
Copy !req
388. It's in his history,
and we found cough syrup in his cabinet.
Copy !req
389. It could mean Goodpasture syndrome,
affects kidneys and lungs.
Copy !req
390. Start him on immunosuppressors
and dialysis.
Copy !req
391. - After we run it by House.
- He's not answering his pager.
Copy !req
392. - Looks like he's leaving it up to us.
- Us, not you.
Copy !req
393. And since we don't disagree,
Copy !req
394. you can save your fight
for another case.
Copy !req
395. How long
do I have to be hooked up for?
Copy !req
396. Four to six hours a day
Copy !req
397. - until we see an improvement.
- What if you don't?
Copy !req
398. - We keep doing it until a transplant.
- You were sure it was his spleen,
Copy !req
399. and then you were sure
it was his liver,
Copy !req
400. which he told you it wasn't,
and now it's his kidneys!
Copy !req
401. It's definitely his kidneys.
Copy !req
402. We just don't know
why it's his kidneys.
Copy !req
403. Any word from Cameron?
Copy !req
404. I started seeing a counselor
after my diagnosis.
Copy !req
405. She's really good.
Copy !req
406. Why does everyone assume
everyone works in the exact same way?
Copy !req
407. We pretty much do.
Copy !req
408. Our egos want us to think
we're all snowflakes, no two alike,
Copy !req
409. but really
we all want the same things.
Copy !req
410. Love, forgiveness...
Copy !req
411. Chocolate.
Copy !req
412. What I want
is for everyone to leave me alone.
Copy !req
413. How do I get that?
Copy !req
414. What did you say
to Lucas last night?
Copy !req
415. I know there were
a lot of consonants.
Copy !req
416. I don't remember how I got here,
never mind what I said.
Copy !req
417. I talked to him.
Copy !req
418. And he said it'd be better
if we stopped seeing each other.
Copy !req
419. Said he didn't realize how much
there still was between you and me.
Copy !req
420. And he didn't want to get caught
in the middle of us.
Copy !req
421. I was drunk.
Copy !req
422. - Whatever I said, he can't...
- I've had enough, House.
Copy !req
423. I actually felt bad
about scamming you.
Copy !req
424. But then you lived down
to my expectations
Copy !req
425. and then some.
Copy !req
426. There is no "us".
Copy !req
427. There never will be.
Copy !req
428. It worked.
Copy !req
429. Tell me you're talking
about a medical procedure.
Copy !req
430. They split up this morning.
You're the very first one I've told.
Copy !req
431. And you think
she'll start dating you?
Copy !req
432. I'm sure she hates you.
Copy !req
433. But her eyes say,
Copy !req
434. "How will I ever pay you
for that tennis lesson?"
Copy !req
435. - What a shame.
- They'll get over it.
Copy !req
436. - I meant for you.
- I'll get over it faster than they do.
Copy !req
437. Can't believe Lucas fell for my
Copy !req
438. "I never say this
because it's so personal
Copy !req
439. "except that I'm drunk"
profession of love.
Copy !req
440. Second-oldest trick in the book.
Copy !req
441. You're right.
It's his fault because he's stupid.
Copy !req
442. He certainly is.
Copy !req
443. You're stupid.
Copy !req
444. Well, I'm rubber, and you're glue.
Copy !req
445. He's not pedestrian, he's stupid.
Copy !req
446. At least stupider than he should be.
Copy !req
447. He's a DXM junkie.
Copy !req
448. Dextromethorphan, as in cough syrup?
Copy !req
449. He wasn't taking it for his cough.
Copy !req
450. It's cheap,
available at your corner drug store,
Copy !req
451. and taken in high doses,
it's a dumb drug.
Copy !req
452. Dumb drug.
Well, he obviously hasn't...
Copy !req
453. He's smart compared to you.
Copy !req
454. He's a moron
compared to what he was.
Copy !req
455. Robotripping
Copy !req
456. lowers the IQ.
Copy !req
457. It also causes brain damage.
Copy !req
458. Unless taken with the proper amount
of ethanol.
Copy !req
459. About one drink per day.
Copy !req
460. He wasn't abusing the booze
and taking the cough remedy medicinally.
Copy !req
461. He was abusing the cough meds,
Copy !req
462. and taking the booze medicinally.
Copy !req
463. Bravo.
Copy !req
464. Why would you do that?
Copy !req
465. If you had a gift,
why would you just throw it away?
Copy !req
466. I didn't throw it away.
Copy !req
467. I just turned it down a little.
Copy !req
468. When my brain was on low,
Copy !req
469. everything didn't seem
so miserable anymore.
Copy !req
470. Life was bearable.
Copy !req
471. I thought that I did that.
Copy !req
472. You do.
Copy !req
473. Long-term abuse of DXM
explains all your symptoms.
Copy !req
474. Even, oh, sweet irony, your cough.
Copy !req
475. Whole bowel lavage,
activated charcoal.
Copy !req
476. We get all traces of it
out of your system.
Copy !req
477. You'll be the unhappiest
little courier in no time.
Copy !req
478. I don't think I can live without it.
Copy !req
479. You'd be surprised
what you can live without.
Copy !req
480. Make him a genius.
Copy !req
481. I can't believe it.
Copy !req
482. He looks so much better already.
Copy !req
483. We were thinking about calling GQ.
Copy !req
484. Lavage has removed all traces
of DXM from his body.
Copy !req
485. You're drawing again.
What is it?
Copy !req
486. - Just doodles.
- No, it's not.
Copy !req
487. Come on, Jimmy, I want to know.
Copy !req
488. This is a toroidal
helicon plasma device.
Copy !req
489. It determines
the amount of energy expended
Copy !req
490. by he subatomic particles.
Copy !req
491. I'm thirsty.
Could you get me a juice or something?
Copy !req
492. Of course.
Copy !req
493. I'm so happy, Jimmy.
Copy !req
494. I told you.
Copy !req
495. Do you know what the difference
between her IQ and mine is?
Copy !req
496. 91 points.
Copy !req
497. In relation, she's closer to a gibbon
than she is to me.
Copy !req
498. Having sex with her
would be an act of bestiality.
Copy !req
499. I assume you didn't marry her
for her skill in applied physics.
Copy !req
500. I wish she could spell it.
Copy !req
501. You think you'd be happier
with someone who could spell better?
Copy !req
502. That's the problem.
Copy !req
503. I'm the one who's a jerk.
Copy !req
504. But I owe her everything.
Copy !req
505. I want to want to be with her.
Copy !req
506. And when I'm clear, I...
Copy !req
507. I can't.
Copy !req
508. Fainting, dizziness,
shortness of breath?
Copy !req
509. Sometimes.
Copy !req
510. Is the wait always this long?
Copy !req
511. Only on days that end in "day".
Copy !req
512. Diarrhea, weight loss?
Copy !req
513. A bit.
Copy !req
514. Don't you ever shave?
Copy !req
515. Yeah. Once a week.
How'bout you?
Copy !req
516. - Stomach pain, tenderness?
- Every now and then.
Copy !req
517. Are you this rude
to all your patients?
Copy !req
518. Yes. Don't think you're special.
Copy !req
519. So we've got a lot of vague,
unverifiable symptoms.
Copy !req
520. Yet all the physical signs
are perfectly normal.
Copy !req
521. - What do you think I have?
- I'm not sure, but I think it's...
Copy !req
522. a lame job.
Copy !req
523. What?
Copy !req
524. You're a rat.
Copy !req
525. Insurance company sends you out
to check on the quality of medical care.
Copy !req
526. - That's ridiculous.
- Is it really?
Copy !req
527. 'Cause you seem a lot more interested
in asking questions than answering them.
Copy !req
528. Handwriting on your medical records
isn't a doctor's, I can almost read it.
Copy !req
529. When you went out
for a urine sample,
Copy !req
530. I looked in your purse.
Found the questions you were supposed
Copy !req
531. to memorize
before you came to the clinic.
Copy !req
532. - I was looking for gum.
- You're an ass.
Copy !req
533. Put it in your report.
I tell you what.
Copy !req
534. I'll give you 20 bucks if you'll pretend
that I'm not when we leave this room.
Copy !req
535. Remember, first ice, then heat.
Copy !req
536. If you have any problems,
don't hesitate to call me.
Copy !req
537. Thank you, Dr. House.
Copy !req
538. Wait a second.
Where's Cuddy?
Copy !req
539. Gone for the day.
Copy !req
540. I can't remember if I've mocked you yet
for being a male nurse.
Copy !req
541. I think this counts.
Copy !req
542. Fair enough.
Copy !req
543. That isn't the man I married.
Copy !req
544. Yes, he is.
Copy !req
545. He's just smarter.
Copy !req
546. - Give him some time. I'm sure...
- He hates me.
Copy !req
547. His body is going through
withdrawal.
Copy !req
548. - He's adjusting.
- Maybe he never loved me. Not really.
Copy !req
549. Maybe we never really
had anything at all.
Copy !req
550. Somebody help!
Copy !req
551. I can't feel my legs.
Copy !req
552. I can't feel them.
Copy !req
553. Anywhere.
Nothing.
Copy !req
554. We have to talk about this.
Copy !req
555. It's late. I'm tired.
Copy !req
556. I know it's a big pay cut, but I'll
always have the chance to make money.
Copy !req
557. I won't always have
the chance to do this job.
Copy !req
558. That's what you think?
That it's about the money?
Copy !req
559. So it's that I didn't consult you
before I took the job?
Copy !req
560. That was offensive,
but it's not about that either.
Copy !req
561. So then...
Copy !req
562. Can you give me the first letter?
Copy !req
563. When we got married,
Copy !req
564. you were an intern working
30-hour shifts doing grunt work.
Copy !req
565. We both put up with it because we knew
that it was leading to something better.
Copy !req
566. In your private practice,
you are the boss.
Copy !req
567. You call the shots,
Copy !req
568. but now you're 40 years old,
you're still doing grunt work.
Copy !req
569. That's what this is about?
You think I'm a wuss?
Copy !req
570. He made you miss
Thanksgiving dinner.
Copy !req
571. Vitamin B12 deficiency?
Gives us anemia, numbness.
Copy !req
572. - Not a stroke.
- If he has a vascular malformation...
Copy !req
573. Anemia's not macrocytic.
Copy !req
574. Sorry to inconvenience you.
Dying patients can be so thoughtless.
Copy !req
575. Don't.
Copy !req
576. Great comeback. Is that Oscar Wilde?
Come on, people.
Copy !req
577. - Bone marrow malignancy.
- Wouldn't produce schistocytes.
Copy !req
578. - Lupus.
- Thanks for coming in.
Copy !req
579. ANA was negative.
Copy !req
580. What about you?
Copy !req
581. Got any predictable drivel
you'd like to add?
Copy !req
582. - They've given you enough already.
- At least they're trying.
Copy !req
583. They're not sitting there like roadkill.
Give me something.
Copy !req
584. Something,
Copy !req
585. or I'll get your ex-smarter half
on the phone and ask her.
Copy !req
586. You're gonna be pressing charges?
Copy !req
587. Against the ottoman I tripped over?
Copy !req
588. Against Chase.
Copy !req
589. I'm pretty sure the ottoman
was acting alone.
Copy !req
590. - You free for dinner this weekend?
- At least three other people saw him.
Copy !req
591. Mass hysteria.
Either night?
Copy !req
592. I can't have doctors
punching each other out.
Copy !req
593. My God, who got punched?
Copy !req
594. And more importantly,
for Chase's sake, I need to know
Copy !req
595. if he's able to handle himself
or if I should be getting him some help.
Copy !req
596. He couldn't have punched anyone.
Copy !req
597. He was with me
when I tripped over the ottoman.
Copy !req
598. If you're not planning on eating,
maybe a movie?
Copy !req
599. I'm not doing this.
Copy !req
600. It's not fun anymore.
Copy !req
601. Just do your job.
Copy !req
602. I need your help.
Copy !req
603. What happened to your face?
Copy !req
604. I was mowing the lawn
when the phone rang.
Copy !req
605. You're a computer.
Copy !req
606. I'm gonna feed you data,
and you analyze it.
Copy !req
607. What, are you gonna feed me
20 years of medical knowledge too?
Copy !req
608. It's not gonna work.
Copy !req
609. I know.
Copy !req
610. But I don't have anyone else to ask.
Copy !req
611. It's lonely, isn't it?
Copy !req
612. It's not that bad.
Copy !req
613. Then you're not that smart.
Copy !req
614. You ever tried to kill yourself?
Copy !req
615. - Not quickly.
- I did.
Copy !req
616. 12 years ago I jumped off
the top of my eight-story building
Copy !req
617. into a dumpster bin
the day before pickup.
Copy !req
618. I broke my collarbone,
Copy !req
619. my leg, and three ribs.
Copy !req
620. When I was in the hospital
they put me on narcotics
Copy !req
621. and suddenly everything
was just better.
Copy !req
622. I didn't feel isolated or lonely.
Copy !req
623. That's where I met my wife.
She was... so happy.
Copy !req
624. And dumb.
Copy !req
625. And I was...
Copy !req
626. smart...
Copy !req
627. and miserable.
Copy !req
628. You tell me who the genius is.
Copy !req
629. I fell in love with her
buzzed out of my head,
Copy !req
630. and I knew I wanted
to stay that way forever.
Copy !req
631. Enjoy.
Copy !req
632. Easier on your conscience
if I die an idiot?
Copy !req
633. What's a conscience?
Copy !req
634. Which ribs...
Copy !req
635. did you break in the fall?
They on the left side?
Copy !req
636. Bottom three.
Copy !req
637. That was 12 years ago.
Copy !req
638. This probably cost me my marriage,
so it better be awesome.
Copy !req
639. Ferrous oxide contrast?
Copy !req
640. Gets absorbed by the spleen.
Copy !req
641. Unless he doesn't have one.
Copy !req
642. In which case
it's absorbed by the liver,
Copy !req
643. - and fries that.
- You're killing him?
Copy !req
644. I opened him up
and didn't take out his spleen?
Copy !req
645. All organs do look kind of the same...
red and squishy.
Copy !req
646. Accessory spleens.
Copy !req
647. Okay, that is amazing.
Copy !req
648. 12 years, eight stories,
and a dumpster ago,
Copy !req
649. he broke three ribs,
Copy !req
650. damaged his spleen.
Bits of it split off,
Copy !req
651. circulated through his bloodstream
Copy !req
652. until they landed
and attached somewhere else.
Copy !req
653. So it is TTP.
Copy !req
654. I just didn't remove...
Copy !req
655. - All of his spleens.
- 16 splenectomies.
Copy !req
656. Pretty sure he gets
a set of steak knives with that.
Copy !req
657. I can outrun you.
Copy !req
658. Sorry about the nose.
And the eye... and the...
Copy !req
659. eyebrow.
Copy !req
660. Guess I deserved it.
Copy !req
661. If I thought that,
I wouldn't be apologizing.
Copy !req
662. Your fist slipped?
Copy !req
663. Everybody kept bugging me,
asking if I was okay.
Copy !req
664. So you busted my nose
to keep people off your back.
Copy !req
665. Pretty much.
Copy !req
666. Making people even more
worried about you.
Copy !req
667. Maybe.
Copy !req
668. But at least
they're not talking to me about it.
Copy !req
669. Fair enough.
Copy !req
670. Cheers.
Copy !req
671. - Thank you.
- Don't be so grateful.
Copy !req
672. You'll be delivering packages
for 70 years to pay for it.
Copy !req
673. Well, thanks for our talk.
Copy !req
674. It's been a while
since I had a stimulating conversation.
Copy !req
675. - So what're you gonna do?
- Go back to my life.
Copy !req
676. Which one?
Copy !req
677. The one that has my wife in it.
Copy !req
678. Robo tripping.
Copy !req
679. - How's she feel about that?
- She doesn't have to know.
Copy !req
680. It's worked for 12 years.
Copy !req
681. Tell your brain I said good-bye.
Copy !req
682. Einstein's giving himself a lobotomy,
and you're cool with that?
Copy !req
683. Ignorance is bliss.
Copy !req
684. Hold that pose.
Copy !req
685. I'll start with t-shirts and mugs,
Copy !req
686. and see how it goes.
Copy !req
687. Home early.
Copy !req
688. What happened to him?
Copy !req
689. - You beat up House?
- Just one right hook.
Copy !req
690. Why? What happened?
Copy !req
691. You were right. I told him we need
to lay down some ground rules,
Copy !req
692. - got a little heated.
- That's not what I meant.
Copy !req
693. Is he okay?
Are you gonna be fired? Arrested?
Copy !req
694. Everything's fine.
Copy !req
695. Can we at least be civil?
Copy !req
696. How's your nose?
Copy !req
697. It's okay.
Copy !req
698. Does your kid like animals?
Copy !req
699. I got tickets to that holiday carnival.
I hear they have a nice petting zoo.
Copy !req
700. - I think I was pretty clear before.
- I don't mean with me.
Copy !req
701. Here. Take 'em. Enjoy.
Copy !req
702. No, thanks.
Copy !req
703. They're not fake.
I didn't steal them.
Copy !req
704. One of the nurses was selling 'em
for her kid's scout trip.
Copy !req
705. It doesn't make
things right between us,
Copy !req
706. I just wanted to do something nice.
Copy !req
707. I don't want them.
Copy !req
708. I'll see you tomorrow.
Copy !req
709. They didn't split up.
Copy !req
710. She wouldn't take the tickets.
Copy !req
711. Of course.
Copy !req
712. Wind talker code
for "we never split up."
Copy !req
713. She told you multiple times
she wants nothing to do with you.
Copy !req
714. I wasn't gonna be there.
Copy !req
715. She just felt guilty
that I felt guilty,
Copy !req
716. so she couldn't take them.
Copy !req
717. Either that
or she didn't want to appease you.
Copy !req
718. These weren't reparations.
Copy !req
719. Just a simple gesture of remorse,
Copy !req
720. and she slapped it down.
Copy !req
721. They didn't break up.
Copy !req
722. She just wanted me
to think that so I'd back off.
Copy !req
723. Dare I ask what you're gonna do?
Copy !req
724. Nothing.
Copy !req
725. I said they'd either break up
or they'd stay together.
Copy !req
726. They didn't break up.
Copy !req
727. And you're okay with that?
Copy !req
728. It is what it is.
