"Surgeons had the recipient on the table when they realized the lungs had increased airway resistance." "The team closed her up, put the lungs in suspended animation." "Buys 24 hours to fix it, 12 of which have passed." "We still have no clue what's wrong." "Nice painting." "Blues and Greens." "Calming, but with a hint of nurturing." "Totally offsets the stench of suffering and death." "Where's my patient?" "We need to not talk." "ICU isolation room." "The transplant team will meet you there with updates from the past two hours." "Great." "Take this." "How about you drop it in your office?" "I completely understand and almost respect your desire to appear to be Dean of Medicine, given that your title is Dean of Medicine." "On the other hand..." "Seriously?" "[Elevator dings]" "Get this straight." "You break the law, you go back to jail." "Scam extra Vicodin, back to jail."

"3:00 a.m." "If Foreman had called you in from home, you wouldn't have pressed clothes, coiffed hair, and makeup, which means you were already here in the hospital." "Yes, I was on call for neurology." "Well, if that were true, you'd be working right now and unavailable to help." "Which means that you're hanging out in the hospital pretending to work."

"Their son just died." "Bright side-- they're probably up weeping." "Hey, we both assaulted our bosses." "It's like we're twins." "I really rather not discuss" "Okay, I'll go first." "My boss dumped me." "And yours what?" "Called you his China doll?" "Joked about what a crappy deal you got for Manhattan?" "Assumed you have a huge penis?" "I have no idea what flavor you are, so I decided to cover the spread." "My mom's Filipino, Dad's Korean, and my boss grabbed my behind." "Behind what?" "Oh, yeah, your-- grabbed your tushy." "So now you're pretending to be on call so that your overly protective boyfriend won't find out that you got groped." "[Doorbell rings]" "I don't have a boyfriend." "It's my parents."

"Druggies are not known for their honesty." "Trust me on this one." "Mr. Weathers, I am sure you're right, but we need to be thorough." "Did your son ever smoke marijuana?" "He was an athlete." "Took real good care of himself." "Hey, take it easy." "Steve loved all that-- Sorry." "But we're on a clock." "I think he's about to throw us out." "Nope." "His son is dead." "The only way that has any meaning is if we fix the lungs and transplant them." "As long as we find something." "And find something." "Do you know any of the kids at the party with your son?" "Bunch of his high school buddies." "Uh...they'd gunrally at poker." "Decided to have an all-night game in Brandon Broome's basement." "I understand that we're in a hurry but maybe he should." "Your son isn't wearing glasses in any of these pictures." "He just got them a couple of weeks ago." "Because he was having headaches?"

"You worry about what people think of you, thus the carefully maintained hair clothes and parental secrets."

"Running away from home is a time-honored tradition, but you're not doing it to flee your parents." "You're doing it to protect them." "That's an insult to everything teen prostitutes have worked for." "Time to grow up and come clean." "You're right." "I should just drive my car" "didn't it turn out that he'd stolen the hot dog cart?" "No, borrowed." "Bobby was very insistent on that point." "[Laughs]" "Seems like someone's feeling better." "No more chest pain." "I haven't heard the name Bobby in a long time." "How's he doing these days?" "I don't know." "We're not in touch." "And don't even pretend like you're not relieved." "You never liked him." "Bobby is an incredibly fun, great guy." "Just not a great influence." "I would have gone with "colossal drunk."" "I was gonna leave that implied, but, yes, colossal drunk."

"(chair bumps against door-frame)" "But..." "Maybe the problem isn't a heavy metal from outside." "It's inside." "But it's not leaving the body like it's supposed to." "It's stuck." "Iron." "The donor had hemosiderosis." "His body wasn't disposing of iron." "Massive amounts choke up the lungs." "Then our chelation would wreak havoc because it picks up too much stuff."

"I spent half an hour trying to change her mind, but she'd made her decision." "I accepted that." "It's called respect." "Well, what's after respect?" "You find another angle." "You hold her hand, get the sister to beg, stick your fingers in your ears, pretend you can't hear." "You do whatever it takes." "Oh, whatever it takes." "Thanks, House." "I hadn't thought of that." "[Door opens]" "What are you testing for?" "Hemosiderosis." "I'm staining for excess iron." "Promising." "When your dad showed up unexpectedly," "House have a hand in that?" "I'm guessing he does things like that a lot." "His version of a compliment." "I spoke to the head of neurology in Chicago." "I gave you a good recommendation." "Did you mention what happened?" "Lawyers say I'm not allowed to." "It works out well for everyone." "Why exactly is that good for you?" "Excuse me?" "I'm a talented physician, top 2% of my class." "I'm an asset to this hospital, an asset you're about to lose to Chicago." "You applied for the job." "You asked me to call and recommend you." "Andrews is the one that should leave."

"Dr. Foreman?" "Would you look at this?" "Iron?" "No." "White blood cells." "Classic presentation of infection." "How the hell did we miss that?" "Biopsy revealed, white blood cell infiltrate." "Infection was right, after all." "Fresh fruit in prison is usually chicken." "Why aren't you more alarmed?" "We're running out of time." "Aahh, she's dying!" "Were you able to figure out what was wrong while I was screaming?" "Infection was the first thing that the transplant team treated for." "Which would have worked if the bacteria had been out in the open." "If they're hiding inside the lung cells..." "I'm thinking brucella." "And to wipe that out, you need special ops." "An intact immune system." "But that's what white blood cells are." "They're part of the immune defense force, like the infantry." "But those lungs need the Air Force and the Marines, antibodies raining down from above." "Antibiotics and IVIG." "Did you use metaphors for your old team?" "Or do you just think I'm particularly stupid?" "No, they were stupid too." "What are you doing here?" "I'm here for Vanessa." "Now is not the time, Bobby." "She asked me to come." "Right, Doc?" "Actually, it was my idea." "What?" "What were you thinking?" "She doesn't want to see him." "When Vanessa was ready to quit chemo," "Bobby's the one who got her to do one more round." "Yeah, and then he got her drunk." "At least tell me you haven't been drinking today." " I should go." " Yeah." "Hail, hail, the gang's all here." "Hey beautiful." "Case is under control." "It's me time." "Vanessa's gonna do the lung slurry." "You were right to push me." "I needed that." "Thank you." "So we're good?" "It was good advice." "Just came here to say thank you." "I like you." "I have fun with you." "And, if you can honestly say that you don't like me, you don't have fun with me," "I can accept that." "But just do whatever you have to do to get over this." "You can punch me in the face, kick me in the nuts." "Either/or." "Both seems excessive." "The thing is, House..." "I don't like you." "[Door opens]" "When did the discoloration start?" "A few minutes after I started the IVIG." "Means we're wrong about infection." "And by we, you mean you." "You screwed up the lungs." "Wrong about autoimmune, not cancer, heavy metals, genetic issues..." "Increase peep." "We're close to the point of no return." "The lungs will never be viable for transplant." "I need..." "I need ideas." "IgA nephropathy." "That's already ruled out." " Lupus." " No." "Maybe we're just out of time." "We're out of time when we're out of time." "When they die or she dies."

"[Cheers and applause]" "The lungs are a smoker." "You of all people should know better." "But the kid never smoked." "He played poker." "Who plays poker without cigars?" "Even if he didn't light up himself..." "It was a rainy night." "The windows were closed." "All parents think their kids are special." "And these ones were right." "At least his white blood cells were special." "They had on on switch for reacting to smoke, but no off." "When he inhaled small amounts of smoke, he had small problems." "No one even noticed." "Big amounts of smoke, that's enough to trash a lung." "As soon as he breathed in all that cigar smoke, he was a dead man." "the motorcycle accident was an unnecessary dramatic flourish." "Eosiniphilic pneumonitis." "But the steroids would have treated for that." "I was right." "Not about anything medical, but my metaphors were perfect." "We need to hit it harder." "We need to carpet bomb, blitzkrieg." "We need the nuclear option." "At some point you're going to say we need to radiate, right?" "See, the metaphors work." "But that'll destroy the good lung too." "Better to go with a strong cocktail of immunosuppressants." "Won't be fast enough." "Wilson needs these lungs."
