"Mocking him and insulting him... technically those are categories of conversation." "Block his references to other hospitals." "Tell him he can't hand off his cases until..." "Talk to him." "Deal with his grief." "Talk to him about what he's going through." "That's a brilliant idea." "I'll take him out for a beer." "That'll make up for the fact that Amber's in a pine box." "That there's randomness and chaos in the universe." "Tell him you're sorry." "I didn't kill her." "You were drunk and... she might never have been born." "So..." "You called her up in the middle of the night." "She was on the bus because of you." "I didn't ask her to come out." "I wasn't driving the bus." "I wasn't driving the garbage truck that hit the bus." "And I did not prescribe her the flu meds that killed her." "that's all true." "But." "You really don't feel any sense of guilt?" "he needs to know he's not alone." "Just tell him you feel like crap." "It'd be meaningless." "find some meaning." "And do something." " She's got a neurological problem." " Surgical complication?" "Don't think so." "She keeps on blinking." " Her heart's not recovering either." " So the pregnancy was a coincidence." "Pulse is down to 39." "She's maxed out on atropine." "We're installing a pacing wire to... avoid that." "We need some help!" " Page House." " Already done." "Page him again. - would it change anything?" " I wouldn't believe you." "If you believe me." "It's hard to imagine such a world." "I'm going home..." "Until you agree to stay at this hospital." "You can't be..." "That's blackmail." "And to do your job?" "Why not hold a gun to your own head?" "Your conscience bleeds more freely than my head." "Text." "Patient's in cardiac arrest." "Ouchy." "You'd jeopardize a patient" " because of my..." " If it keeps you here." "Your friendship matters more to me than this patient." "I've gotta do what's right for me." "You've gotta do what's right for you." "But it comes easier for me." "Where is he?" "Where is he?" " Status." " Her heart's stabilized." "but the bradycardia isn't getting better." "House is bluffing." "I called him." "He's not picking up." " What do we do?" " What you'd do if he was here." "we'd be asking him what to do." " What are the usual suspects?" " There aren't any. and now something's wrong with her brain." "I have complete confidence in you guys." "Who wants to go service House so this patient can live?" "We can do this without him." "Maybe something happened during the surgery." "not her brain." "Tourette's could all cause eye blinking." "It's slowing down." "M.S. It'd explain bradycardia and blinking." "But not the vitamin deficiency or the ectopic pregnancy." "and so are those symptoms." "M.S. explains everything that's wrong with her right now." "Start her on interferon for M.S." "Mind if I come in?" " Not at all." " You mind if I leave?" "I told you not to take that case specifically to deal with Wilson." "don't you think?" "Is this how you show your friendship..." "By bludgeoning him with guilt?" "I know what works on him." " You can't walk away from a patient." " Then fire me." "but youcan't say you're sorry." "I told him I'm sorry." "He didn't believe it." " Make him believe it." " I don't." "You don't want to believe it. and he walks out the door anyway..." "If you make yourself vulnerable for once 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 tell where an idea mes from." "But you're not really a team." "You work for him." "And you work for Patty." "I'm sure a lot of her ideas are actually..." "She would be fine without me." "I'd be nothing without her." "Maybe if you just had the chance." "I'm sure you've learned a lot." "Not everybody's created equal." "Does Dr. House think I have M.S.?" "Did you just shiver?" "You're running a slight fever." "Is that bad?" "It means we were wrong about the M.S." " You had my cable disconnected!" " That's quite a leap." "Just because I happen to have a 31-person maintenance department... each of whom you've personally abused" " at some point..." " Why? but I'm gonna fold if I can't watch Celebrity Bowling?" "That is not an unreasonable theory." "Especially with only ten minutes till your favorite soap." "is this the remote from the doctors' lounge?" "This is your 911?" " Good-bye." " Stop!" "I'm withholding your salary history from every hospital in this region." "girl." "And I'm permanently setting every TV in this building to the pottery channel unless you both sit down." "Welcome to couples counseling." " It's not the surgery." " The timing fits." "unless brains are in bowels it could have infected her brain." "The surgery went fine." "You were there." "Peptostreptococcus could explain the blinking and..." "You want to watch a grainy video and have an epiphany." "Shut up." "You're making me miss House's mocking." "I don't have..." "You're desperate to do it without him." "but to prove..." "Stop the tape." "Zoom in." "that little bump." " It's a hematoma." "which is why Chase ignored it during the surgery." "which is why Chase shouldn't have ignored it. it could be causing all the patient's symptoms." "We have to open her up again." "Get a piece of it." " So what do you want to tell us?" " Nothing." "Nothing I say is gonna change anything." "You guys need to talk." "you should read the psych literature." "Repression's gaining a lot of fans." " What you don't face can't crush you." " Talk to each other." "thanks." "Sit!" "the two of you are friends." " Look how you both..." " Think you're an idiot." "We both also eat with forks." " That doesn't really prove..." " Talk to him!" "Tell him how you feel about what he's doing." "He's an idiot." "Tell him what you think about him leaving." " I think he's an idiot." " You're an idiot." "He's in pain." "And your response is just to emotionally blackmail him." "You told me your position." "right?" " She hasn't told you in front of me." " She needs to prove she'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 better by you walking away from everyone that cares about you." "Do you think Amber would want you to walk away?" "Nobody at this hospital even liked Amber." "Same time next week?" "You want me to do a second major surgery on a patient we almost lost during a first major surgery to see if she needs a third major surgery?" "We need a piece of the ganglioma." "Then you're talking about another patient." "Yours doesn't have a ganglioma." "And if there is one and you missed it?" "So you're talking about another surgeon." "I didn't miss anything." "But we're not talking about another videotape." "It showed a bump." " We need to biopsy." " A bump?" "My grandfather died of a bump. - let alone a third." " You'd do this for House." "What do you suggest? and a dim chance of survival if we stand here like idiots." "Then I suggest you don't stand there like idiots." "How do you get coal out of a mountain when it's someone else's mountain?" "we can think like him." "But it does mean we don't have to talk like him." "You don't dig down." "You go in from the side. we cut." "We'll make as small an incision as we can." "it'll be very painful." "we can't give you anesthesia." "Can I talk to Dr. House?" "No." "We can do this." "We know what we're doing." "but my former boss didn't insist on 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 me to get better." "We've been well-trained." "We'll take good care of you." "How can you let her treat you like 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." "Yours could've ended in that surgery." "You'd have never lived for yourself." "What kind of feminist..." "We can have anything." "we can't." "We can aspire to anything." "But we don't get it just because we want it." "I would rather spend my life close to the birds than waste it wishing I had wings." "into the descending colon." "Switching on the light." "Advance toward the anastomosis." "That's it." "Push the wall of the intestine toward the skin." "I see it." "Don't look down." "Scalpel." "So your last day is Friday." "I'm gonna miss you." "You shouldn't go." "or are you trying to save the 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 making a rational choice." "You think the worst is over." "And then..." "Six months later you look back and you realize..." "You didn't know what you were doing." "Are you saying the pain doesn't go away?" "It gets easier." "Not in two months." "Not in two years." "But no..." "It never really goes away." "Being here..." "This building..." "I was just in the lounge." "I kept staring at Amber's locker." "I saw a guy wearing a scarf this morning." "The color reminded me of his eyes." "We lived 500 miles from here." " I have to do something." " Then do it." "because..." "There isn't one." "It's not a ganglioma." " The problem wasn't the surgery." " Abnormally deposited proteins." "It's amyloidosis." "That would explain the blinking and the low heart rate." "Only way to treat amyloidosis is to treat whatever's causing it." "It's not as if a lot of things cause amyloid." "Rheumatoid arthritis." "Familial mediterranean fever." "Lymphoma." "We can't all be right." "But you can all be wrong. and no palpable lymph nodes." " Got anything constructive to say?" " Sorry." "Sorry." "joint and abdominal pain." "She'll be better by dinnertime. she never walks out of this hospital." "hmm?" "So glad we lost those training wheels." "You want me to make the call?" "There seems to be some disagreement." "And this isn't just a pretext to pressure me into staying?" "Does it look like a pretext?" "No." "isn't she? some mitotic activity." "It could be lymphoma." "There are no palpable lymph nodes." "but it doesn't rule it out." "I'm an oncologist." "I see cancer." "they'll see autoimmune." "I already showed it to an immunologist." "We'll start her on chemo." "You should leave." "House doesn't want to lose his sidekick." "Cuddy doesn't want to lose her check on house." "No one's talking about what you want." "It's not that I want to." "need to." "If there's any chance that being away from here will make your life do it." "That's what everyone else here would do." "Don't expect anything to change too fast." "Lymphoma was your idea?" " Why?" " I feel better." "Sometimes just knowing you're being treated helps." "You've given me 18 different treatments." "This is the first one that made me feel better." "I don't think it's psychological." "Thank you." "I'm sorry." "I shouldn't have gotten angry at you." "Your choices are your choices." "You're not like me." "Maybe you have wings." "I have huntington's chorea." "my... even my emotional balance..." "They'll all start to fray." "I won't be able to fly." "I won't be able to walk." "I won't be able to breathe." "And you want to make sure your life matters." "I don't want to just..." "Be tightening bolts and following instructions." "I want something..." "To be different because of me." "I am." "Not just 'cause you saved my life." "I'm applying for a job at a foundation." "Running the finance division." "but..." "If I don't..." "There are other foundations." "It's almost 4:00." "Soap time." "Nurses' remote." "Works in the doctors' lounge." "Why do you think Wilson's leaving?" "How many times do I have to use the word "idiot"?" "That's a good enough answer for you? you have to tell them what screwed-up process is really at work in their head." "That is why I locked the two of you in a room. and maybe with a little bit of truth." "But you didn't." "So I can only assume that you don't want to know the reason." "You're afraid to know." "are you?" "Try it sometime." "You'll see why." "You look 37." "I am 37." "You looked 27 last week." "Unless I blacked out for ten years." "Your skin..." "She's got lymphoma." "The chemo's probably..." " Stop the chemo." " She's getting better." "we..." " She have bruising?" "She was pounding her legs during the hallucinations." "It's not lymphoma." "no." "My bad." "Thought no meant yes." "Those aren't bruises." "They're mycobacterial lesions." "She has diffuse lepromatous leprosy." "Must have caught it on one of her overseas estrogen tours." "she feels a little better." "she gets a whole lot worse." "Leprosy?" "!" "Like where my limbs fall off?" "this is the flattering one." "It's also known as "pretty leprosy"." "smoother." "Don't let the girls hear." "They'll all want to lick your face." "Unless you're that kind of feminist." "Blast her with antibiotics and Prednisone." "She'll be fine." "it's after 4:00." "I'm late." " Damn." " What?" "She's happy you're gonna be fine." "But she'd be happier if you were gonna be fine five minutes ago." "Tests confirmed Dr. House's diagnosis." "Thank God. he physical stress triggered e." "Nodosum Lleprosum." "A common complication of leprosy." "Inflamed the nerves to your heart." "scarred your fallopian tubes." "It explains everything." "Better prescribe me some skin cream too?" "You might want it for those job interviews." "I'm going back on the road with Patty." "My replacement flamed out." "carve out more of a role." "Do you really think she can change?" "I don't know." "I'm not sure I..." "You can change." "No..." "I'm not sure I want her to change." "She's reasonable." "and I'm just... another employee." "I matter." "I like you better now that you're dying." "I was wrong." "You took a shot." "She's going back to work for that idiot." "It's pathetic." "You thought something would change?" "She almost died..." "I..." "I thought..." "Almost dying changes nothing." "Dying changes everything." "I'm sorry." "I know I didn't try to kill her." "I know I didn't want her hurt." "I know it was a freak accident." "and she's dead because of me." "I don't blame you." "I wanted to." "I tried to." "I must have reviewed Amber's case file 100 times to find a way." "But it wasn't your fault." "Then we're okay?" "but..." " Maybe I can help." " We're not okay." "Amber was never the reason I was leaving." "I didn't want to tell you because..." "Because I was trying... to protect you." "Which is the problem." "You spread misery because you can't feel anything else." "You manipulate people because you can't handle any kind of real relationship." "And I've enabled it." "For years." "the middle-of-the-night phone calls." "not..."
