"You were drunk and-- yeah, if her daddyhadn't been drunk, she might neverhave been born.So-- you called her upin the middle of the night." "She was on the busbecause of you." "I didn't ask herto come out." "I wasn't driving the bus." "I wasn't drivingthe garbage truck that hit the bus." "And I did not prescribe herthe flu meds that killed her." "Yes, I know,that's all true." "But... you really don't feelany sense of guilt?" "You want to keep him, he needs to knowhe's not alone." "Just tell him you feellike crap." "It'd be meaningless."

"What do you want us to do?" "The same thing you'd doif he was here." "If he was here, we'd beasking him what to do." " What are the usual suspects?" " There aren't any." "She had a vitamin deficiency,and we corrected it, an ectopic pregnancy,we removed it." "But her heart problemwon't go away, and now something's wrongwith her brain." "I have complete confidencein you guys." "Who wants to goservice house so this patient can live?" "We can do thiswithout him." "Maybe something happened during the surgery." "The surgery was on her bowel,not her brain." "Anxiety, stroke, tourette's could all cause eye blinking." "And cause her heart to beatfaster--it's slowing down." "M.S.If a lesion took outthe sympathetic innervation of her heart, it'd explain the bradycardia and the blinking." "But not the vitamin deficiency or the ectopic pregnancy." "House would want a unifying theory." "House is gone,and so are those sptoms." "M.S.Explains everythingthat's wrong with her right now." "Start her on interferonfor M.S." "Mind if I come in?" "Not at all." "You mind if I leave?" "I told you not to take that casespecifically so you could dealwith wilson." "And the two ended updovetailing rather nicely, don't you think?" "Is this how you showyour friendship... by bludgeoning himwith guilt?" "Because he's my friend,I know what works on him." "Well, I can't let youwalk away from a patient." "Then fire me." "You're willing to riskyour career, but you're not willingto say you're sorry." "I told him I'm sorry." "He didn't believe it." " Well, make him believe it." " I don't believe it." "You don't want to believe it." "Because if you tell wilsonhow you actually feel about him, about what happenedto amber, about your parting what happened, and he walksout the door anyway-- if you make yourselfvulnerable for once in your nerve-deadening,emotionally obliterating" "you're doing the same thing he is." "You're running away." "Only he's not killing anyone in the process." "Where's dr." "House?" "He's not feeling well." "Was M.S.His idea?" "We work as a team." "You know how it is." "Collaborative." "Sometimes it's hard to tellwhere an idea comes from." "But you're notreally a team." "You work for him." "And you work for patty.I'm sure a lot of her ideas are actually" "She would be finewithout me." "I'd be nothingwithout her." "Maybe if you just hadthe chance." "I'm--I'm sureyou've learned a lot." "Not everybody'screated equal." "Does dr." "House thinkI have M.S.?" "Yes." "Did you just shiver?" "You're running a slight fever." "Is that bad?" "It means we were wrongabout the M.S." "You had my cabledionnected!" "Well,that's quite a leap." "Just becauseI happen to have a 31-person maintenance department-- each of whomyou've personally abused at some point-- why?" "Did you think I'm okaywith letting someone die, but I'm gonna fold ifI can't watch celebrity bowling?" "That is notan unreasonable theory." "Especiallywith only ten minutes till your favorite soap." "Oh, gee, is this the remotefrom the doctors' lounge?" "this is your 911?" "Good-bye." "Stop!" "I'm withholdingyour salary history from every hospitalin the tri-state area." "You go, girl." "And I'm permanently settingevery tv in this building to the pottery channel unless you both sit down." "Welcome to couplescounseling." "it's not the surgery." "The timing fits." "The location doesn't, unlessher brains are in her bowels." "If bacteria enteredher bloodstream, it could have causedan infection in her brain." "the surgery went fine." "You were there, you saw." "Peptostreptococcuscould explain the blinking and-- no.You want to watcha grainy video and have an epiphany." "Shut up." "You're making me misshouse's mocking." "I know you told usit was none of our business, but if house thinks that your huntington's is affecting you, maybe it really-- it's not, becauseI don't have-- you're desperate to do thiswithout him." "You're not trying to cure her." " You're trying to pve-- - stop the tape." "Zoom in." "On the anastomosis,that little bump." "It's a hematoma." "A harmless pocket of blood, which is why chase ignored itduring the surgery." "Could be a ganglioma, which is why chaseshouldn't have ignored it." "It's an abnormal growth of nerves, it could be causingall the patient's symptoms." "We have to open her up again." "Get a piece of it." "So what do you wantto tell us?" "Nothing." "Nothing I sayis gonna change anything." "You guys need to talk." "Actually, you should just readthe psych literature." "Repression's gaining a lot of fans." "What you don't facecan't crush you." "Talk to each other." "How you doing?" "Good?" "Fine, thanks." "Sit!" "See, the two of you are friends." " Look how you both-- - think you're an idiot." "We both also eatwith forks." " That doesn't really prove-- - talk to him!" "Tell him how you feelabout what he's doing." "I told him he's an idiot." "Tell him what you thinkabout him leaving." " I think he's an idiot." " You're an idiot." "He's in pain." "And your response is justto emotionally blackmail him." "You told me what your positionis on that one." "You're against it, right?" "She hasn't told youin front of me." "She needs to proveshe's on my side." "Go to hell." "So much for that theory." "I'm sorry you lost amber." "I cannot imagine what it is you're going through." "But it will not get betterby you walking away from everyone that cares about you." "Do you think amberwould want you to walk away?" "Nobody at this hospitaleven liked amber." "Same time next week?" "You want me to doa second major surgery on a patient we almost lostduring a first major surgery to see if she needsa third major surgery?" "We need a pieceof the ganglioma." "Then you're talkingabout another patient." "Yours doesn't havea ganglioma." "And if there is oneand you missed it?" "Then you're talkingabout another surgeon." "I didn't miss anything." "But we're not talkingabout another videotape." "This one showed a bump." "We need to biopsy." "A bump?" "Oh, yeah." "My grandfather diedof a bump." "She can't survive a second roundof general anesthesia, let alone a third." " You'd do this for house." " Yeah." "Then what do you suggest?" "Because the patient's got a high fever, a low heart rate, and a dim chance of survivalif we stand here like idiots." "Then I suggest you don'tstand there like idiots." "How do you get coalout of a mountain when it's someone else'smountain?" "If we don't have house,it doesn't mean we can't think like house." "But it does mean we don't haveto talk like him." "You don't dig down." "You go in from the side." "We insert a lighted scopethrough the rectum, move the intestine tillwe find the ganglioma, then push it to the surface." "Where we see the light,we cut." "We'll make as small an incisionas we can." "But unfortunately,it'll be very painful." "After your surgery experience,we can't give you anesthesia." "Can I talk to dr." "House?" "No." "We can do this." "We know what we're doing." "I don't mean to beinsulting, but my former boss didn't insiston me coming here because of you or-- your former boss?" "I've been replaced." " I'm sorry.You must be" " I'm fine." "She has a big beijing trip." "Ton of work to do." "She can't just wait for meto get better." "We've been well-trained." "We'll take good care of you." "How can you let her treat youlike a footstool?" "The world needs flunkies." "Don't say that." "You're better than that." "I have no problem with it." "Why do you?" "Because..." "life is short." "I mean, yours could've endedin that surgery." "You'd have never livedfor yourself." "What kind of feminist--we can have anything." "No, we can'T." "We can aspire to anything." "But we don't get itjust because we want it." "I would ratherspend my life close to the birds than waste itwishing I had wings." "you're through the sigmoid, into the descending colon." "Switching on the light." "Advance towardthe anastomosis." "That's it." "Push the wall of the intestine toward the skin." "There, I see it." "Don't look down." "Scalpel." "So your last dayis friday." "I'm gonna miss you." "You shouldn't go." "Did house ask youto talk to me, or are you trying to savethe patient?" "Because there'll always be-  house asked me." " And you're doing it." "I told him to go to hell." "Thanks." "But I think he's right." "You think you're makinga rational choice." "You think the worstis over." "And then... six months lateryou look back and you realize you didn't knowwhat you were doing." "Are you saying the paindoesn't go away?" "It gets easier." "Not in two months." "Not in two years." "But no, it never reallygoes away." "Being here--this building-- I was just in the lounge." "I kept staringat amber's locker." "I saw a guy wearing a scarfthis morning." "The color reminded meof his eyes." "We lived 500 milesfrom here." "I have to do something." "Then do it." "But don't thinkit's the right choice, because... there isn't one." "it's not a ganglioma." "The problemwasn't the surgery." "Abnormally depositedproteins." "It's amyloidosis." "That would explain the blinkingand the low heart rate." "Only way to treatamyloidosis is to treatwhatever's causing it." "It's not as if a lot of thingscause amyloid." "Rheumatoid arthritis." "Familial mediterranean fever." "Lymphoma." "Well, we can't allbe right." "But you can allbe wrong." "The patient's joints don't hurt, abdominal pain went awaywhen the fetus did, and no palpable lymph nodes." "Got anything constructiveto say?" "Sorry." "Sorry." "Um, she has lots and lotsof palpable lymph nodes, joint and abdominal pain." "She'll be better by dinnertime." "If we don't find the causeof the amyloidosis, we never get her offthat wire, she never walks outof this hospital." "But hey,who needs house, hmm?" "So glad we lostthose training wheels." "You want me to makethe call?" "There seems to besome disagreement." "And this isn't justa pretext to pressure meinto staying?" "Does it look likea pretext?" "No." "She really is dying,isn't she?" "Inflammation,enlarged nuclei, some mitotic activity." "It could be lymphoma." "There areno palpable lymph nodes." "It makes it less likely, but it doesn'trule it out." "I'm an oncologist." "I see cancer." "Show it to an immunologist, they'll see autoimmune." "I already showed itto an immunologist." "We'll start her on chemo." "You should leave." "House doesn't want to losehis sidekick." "Cuddy doesn't want to loseher check on house." "No one's talkingabout what you want." "It's not that I want to." "Want to, need to." "If there's any chancethat being away from here will make your lifeeven a little bit easier, do it." "That's what everyone else herewould do." "Don't expect anythingto change too fast." "Lymphoma was your idea?" "Why?" "I feel better." "Sometimes just knowingyou're being treated helps." "You've given me18 different treatments." "This is the first onethat made me feel better." "I don't thinkit's psychological." "Thank you." "I'm sorry." "I shouldn't havegotten angry at you." "Your choices areyour choices." "You're not like me." "Maybe you have wings." "I have huntington's chorea." "Dozen years or so, my nervous system,my cognitive skills, even my emotional balance... they'll all start to fray." "I won't be able to fly." "I won't be able to walk."
