SENATOR WRIGHT:
And the only thing wrong...
3
00:00:05,110 --> 00:00:07,279
The only thing wrong
with the American dream
4
00:00:07,404 --> 00:00:10,073
is people, too many people,
5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,077
too many of us telling young people
that the dream is dead.
6
00:00:14,286 --> 00:00:17,456
They told me that when I was growing up
in the slums of Trenton.
7
00:00:17,581 --> 00:00:19,166
And they were wrong.
8
00:00:19,291 --> 00:00:21,835
They told me that when I decided
to run for senator
9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,880
with only $58
in my savings account.
10
00:00:25,005 --> 00:00:28,634
And they were wrong
and they are still telling me that now,
11
00:00:28,759 --> 00:00:31,303
that I don't have a chance
because I'm black,
12
00:00:31,428 --> 00:00:33,305
because I don't have the right nose,
13
00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:37,017
because I still only have $58
in my savings account.

Just"
18
00:01:09,675 --> 00:01:10,676
let me say...
19
00:01:10,842 --> 00:01:15,180
Let me say that you should
all donate the legal maximum
20
00:01:15,305 --> 00:01:18,892
to the next president
of the United States.
21
00:01:21,978 --> 00:01:23,730
Are you okay?
Do you need some water?
22
00:01:23,855 --> 00:01:25,857
No. I'm fine, really.
23
00:01:29,611 --> 00:01:32,572
Handsome guy like you,
I bet you get 70% of the women.
24
00:01:32,698 --> 00:01:33,824
Here's hoping.
25
00:01:33,949 --> 00:01:36,576
Of course, it helps
your wife died of cancer.
26
00:01:36,702 --> 00:01:39,037
I'm sorry,
but the sympathy vote's in your pocket.
27
00:01:39,162 --> 00:01:41,540
Yeah, I appreciate
your support.
28
00:01:41,665 --> 00:01:45,210
Listen, Senator,
my union has a hell of a war chest.
29
00:01:48,338 --> 00:01:51,133
I've always been
strong on the union.
30
00:01:51,299 --> 00:01:54,386
The thing is, you always go on
in your speeches about the workers
31
00:01:54,511 --> 00:01:57,264
in Indonesia, Cambodia, Timbuktu.
32
00:01:57,389 --> 00:02:00,350
Because I think we have a...
A moral...
33
00:02:00,475 --> 00:02:01,977
My union members are hurting.
34
00:02:02,102 --> 00:02:06,022
They don't care about moral this
and moral that. Are you all right?
35
00:02:06,148 --> 00:02:08,024
- Senator?
- Hey!
36
00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:09,818
MAN 1:
The guys are gonna love that.
37
00:02:12,821 --> 00:02:15,949

38
00:02:16,533 --> 00:02:18,326

39
00:02:18,452 --> 00:02:19,828
Senator, are you all right?
40
00:02:54,780 --> 00:02:56,948
VOGLER: The senator's
suffering from nausea,
41
00:02:57,073 --> 00:02:59,326
headache and
mental confusion.
42
00:02:59,451 --> 00:03:02,245
Bad sushi is so
hard to diagnose.
43
00:03:03,288 --> 00:03:05,332
You're being childish.
44
00:03:05,874 --> 00:03:08,168
Look, if his case is
as trivial as you think,
45
00:03:08,293 --> 00:03:10,212
it'll take you three minutes
to diagnose.
46
00:03:10,337 --> 00:03:12,214
Three minutes that I could spend
sitting on the toilet
47
00:03:12,339 --> 00:03:14,424
with the funny pages.
48
00:03:14,549 --> 00:03:17,219
- You're mad at me.
- Nope.
49
00:03:17,344 --> 00:03:20,138
I never liked
Cameron or Foreman.
50
00:03:20,263 --> 00:03:22,182
Do you know why I'm forcing you
to fire one of them?
51
00:03:22,307 --> 00:03:24,226
Because you need to prove to me
that you're a team player.
52
00:03:24,351 --> 00:03:28,021
Now, if you did that, you wouldn't
need to go through this exercise.
53
00:03:28,146 --> 00:03:31,900
Fine. I'll hold the senator's hair
while he upchucks.
54
00:03:32,025 --> 00:03:34,152
Oh, and by the way,
55
00:03:34,277 --> 00:03:36,947
I need you to give a speech
at the National Cardiology Conference
56
00:03:37,072 --> 00:03:38,114
next week.
57
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,116
I don't do speeches.
I'm shy.

has developed a new ACE inhibitor.

to extol the virtues

00:03:46,456 --> 00:03:48,625

61
00:03:48,750 --> 00:03:50,877

00:03:51,002 --> 00:03:53,255
Wait a second,
don't I own that company?
63
00:03:53,380 --> 00:03:55,298
Oh, no, that's right.
You do.
64
00:03:55,423 --> 00:03:59,511

over the old version.

00:03:59,845 --> 00:04:01,137

66
00:04:01,263 --> 00:04:03,807
Well, I know its price tag
is significantly improved.

00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:08,520
You can either give one 10-minute talk
and one 3-minute diagnosis,
68
00:04:08,645 --> 00:04:11,147
or you can fire one of your pets.
69
00:04:13,567 --> 00:04:17,821
My understanding was that you believed
in rationality above all else.
70
00:04:25,328 --> 00:04:26,705
Viopril.

00:04:28,331 --> 00:04:30,667

keeping the media away.

your staff away as well.

00:04:33,253 --> 00:04:35,422
- Take it easy now.
- I'm in the middle of a campaign.

the faster you can get out of here.

Anyone else
at the fundraiser get sick?
76
00:04:40,719 --> 00:04:42,888
I don't think so.
And I don't think that's it.
77
00:04:43,013 --> 00:04:45,056
I mean, I've been under
the weather for weeks.
78
00:04:45,181 --> 00:04:48,184
You know, lots of traveling. I'm
supposed to be in the Sudan next week.

(ELECTRONIC BEEPING)

Oh!
81
00:04:53,273 --> 00:04:56,985
Helps me concentrate.
Even better than drugs.
82
00:04:58,778 --> 00:05:00,822
Open your mouth, please.
83
00:05:04,743 --> 00:05:06,328
That's quite a scar.
84
00:05:06,453 --> 00:05:09,789
When I was six, I fell off the swing
and bit my tongue.
85
00:05:09,915 --> 00:05:12,250
Couldn't talk right
for the longest time.
86
00:05:12,375 --> 00:05:13,501
Lots of teasing.
87
00:05:13,627 --> 00:05:17,672
You know, it just made me fight harder,
speak up for those who can't.
88
00:05:17,797 --> 00:05:19,466
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
89
00:05:19,841 --> 00:05:22,052
Tongues heal too fast.
90
00:05:22,177 --> 00:05:25,055
Your political consultants
have written you a nice story.
91
00:05:25,180 --> 00:05:28,224
In a tight race, the lispers alone
could put you over the top.
92
00:05:28,350 --> 00:05:31,770
You a Republican,
or you just hate all politicians?
93
00:05:31,895 --> 00:05:34,731
I just find being forced
to sit through drivel annoying.
94
00:05:34,856 --> 00:05:38,109
You find sincerity annoying?
95
00:05:38,234 --> 00:05:40,111
You're a black kid
from the ghetto
96
00:05:40,236 --> 00:05:43,156
who made it to Yale Law
and the United States Senate.
97
00:05:43,281 --> 00:05:45,241
That's a sufficiently
mythical story.
98
00:05:45,367 --> 00:05:48,203
You don't need to lie
about your tongue.
99
00:05:50,830 --> 00:05:52,499
Must've missed it.
100
00:05:56,336 --> 00:05:57,712
What's wrong?
101
00:06:05,136 --> 00:06:06,179
What is it?
102
00:06:06,304 --> 00:06:08,306
It's not the food.
It's your brain.
103
00:06:08,431 --> 00:06:10,475
Get an MRI and
a lumbar puncture.
104
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,268
Cancel your travel plans.
105
00:06:21,695 --> 00:06:23,989
The senator's LP
showed no sign of infection,
106
00:06:24,114 --> 00:06:25,365
and the MRI
looks fairly clean.
107
00:06:25,490 --> 00:06:29,285
I guess we can tell him
he's fairly healthy and can go home.
108
00:06:29,411 --> 00:06:31,538
Well, there is
something in Broca's area,
109
00:06:31,663 --> 00:06:35,083
- but it's small, low intensity.
- Most likely just background noise.
110
00:06:35,208 --> 00:06:37,669
Care to bet your job on that?
111
00:06:38,003 --> 00:06:39,254
What was that?
112
00:06:39,379 --> 00:06:40,296
What was what?
113
00:06:40,422 --> 00:06:41,548
You got annoyed.
114
00:06:41,673 --> 00:06:43,675
That was clearly
an annoyed face.
115
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,094
I get annoyed by glib remarks
about our futures.
116
00:06:46,219 --> 00:06:47,637
But last week you
didn't get annoyed.
117
00:06:47,762 --> 00:06:50,932
You made poopie in your pants.
It's weird.
118
00:06:51,057 --> 00:06:54,310
It's almost like now you know
you have nothing to worry about.
119
00:06:54,436 --> 00:06:56,229
Chase has nothing
to worry about?
120
00:06:56,354 --> 00:06:58,648
HOUSE: None of you has
anything to worry about.
121
00:06:58,773 --> 00:07:00,608
What happened?
122
00:07:00,734 --> 00:07:04,904
Vogler saw the error of his ways
and repented.
123
00:07:05,030 --> 00:07:06,364
The lesion could be nothing.
124
00:07:06,489 --> 00:07:08,992
Also, it could be a brain tumor
or an infection.
125
00:07:09,117 --> 00:07:11,244
There's only one way
to find out which.
126
00:07:11,369 --> 00:07:13,038
You want to cut
into his brain?
127
00:07:13,163 --> 00:07:14,247
Dangerous, I know.
128
00:07:14,372 --> 00:07:17,208
Especially since he's a politician
and his brain's all twisted.
129
00:07:17,333 --> 00:07:20,211
But I weighed that against the risk
of him stroking out before lunch.
130
00:07:20,336 --> 00:07:21,963
Call Surgery.
Get it scheduled.
131
00:07:31,931 --> 00:07:33,933
You're not pregnant.
132
00:07:34,059 --> 00:07:35,435
Well, I told you that.
133
00:07:36,436 --> 00:07:38,730
But there's got to be some
other reason I'm still spotting.
134
00:07:38,855 --> 00:07:41,399
Sure. You were pregnant.
135
00:07:41,983 --> 00:07:44,694
Based on your hormone levels,
you've had a miscarriage.
136
00:07:44,819 --> 00:07:46,404
I haven't even
been on a date.
137
00:07:46,529 --> 00:07:47,697
Right.
138
00:07:47,822 --> 00:07:49,657
And since it's physically
impossible to have sex
139
00:07:49,783 --> 00:07:50,950
without someone
buying you dinner...
140
00:07:51,076 --> 00:07:54,746
I haven't had sex
since I split up with my husband.
141
00:07:54,871 --> 00:07:55,997
That was almost a year ago.
142
00:07:56,122 --> 00:08:00,794
Fine. Have it your way.
Immaculate conception.
143
00:08:00,919 --> 00:08:03,505
What do I do?
144
00:08:03,630 --> 00:08:04,798
Well, it's obvious.
145
00:08:05,924 --> 00:08:07,842
Start a religion.
146
00:08:10,678 --> 00:08:12,680
In my office.
147
00:08:16,851 --> 00:08:18,228
Afternoon delight.
148
00:08:18,394 --> 00:08:20,563
She just loves
the hard wood.
149
00:08:21,856 --> 00:08:26,986
You're not doing a brain biopsy
based on a spot on an MRI.
150
00:08:27,112 --> 00:08:28,113
Where'd you get that?
151
00:08:28,238 --> 00:08:30,156
Not on a United States senator.
152
00:08:30,281 --> 00:08:31,407
Oh, just so I'm clear,
153
00:08:31,533 --> 00:08:33,743
a janitor would be okay?
Do you have a list?
154
00:08:33,868 --> 00:08:37,539
A brain biopsy can cause
permanent neurological damage.
155
00:08:37,664 --> 00:08:39,207
Whereas tumors are
really good for brains.
156
00:08:39,332 --> 00:08:41,126
Make them grow
big and strong.
157
00:08:41,417 --> 00:08:43,878
- It's my call.
- No, it's not.
158
00:08:44,003 --> 00:08:46,548
So you're pulling
rank on patient care?
159
00:08:46,673 --> 00:08:48,007
It's not my call either.
160
00:08:48,675 --> 00:08:49,717
It's up to you.
161
00:08:49,843 --> 00:08:51,594
HOUSE: Either it's a tumor
or it's an infection
162
00:08:51,719 --> 00:08:53,179
that the lumbar puncture
didn't pick up.
163
00:08:53,304 --> 00:08:55,431
Either way, unless we treat it
immediately, it could kill you.
164
00:08:55,557 --> 00:08:58,643
Or it could be nothing. Reading
brain MRls is not an exact science.
165
00:08:58,768 --> 00:09:00,603
Well, what caused
my symptoms?
166
00:09:00,728 --> 00:09:02,230
Wow! Excellent question.
167
00:09:02,355 --> 00:09:03,606
Many doctors wouldn't
have gone there.
168
00:09:03,731 --> 00:09:06,151
It could be
a transient ischemic attack.
169
00:09:06,276 --> 00:09:10,196
You could make the argument for watching
carefully for the time being.
170
00:09:10,321 --> 00:09:11,865
But you'd only
make that argument
171
00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:13,741
if you were an administrator
covering your ass.
172
00:09:13,867 --> 00:09:16,536
- That's absurd and insulting.
- Insulting, yes.
173
00:09:16,661 --> 00:09:18,454
What would the voters think?
174
00:09:18,663 --> 00:09:22,208
(STAMMERING) If they find out
I've had a brain biopsy?
175
00:09:24,586 --> 00:09:27,338
(STAMMERING) This could
leave you brain damaged,
176
00:09:27,463 --> 00:09:29,549
and you're worried
about NASCAR dads?
177
00:09:31,426 --> 00:09:32,677
(WHIRRING)
178
00:09:49,068 --> 00:09:50,361
It's not a brain tumor.
179
00:09:50,486 --> 00:09:53,156
It's not
a bacterial infection either.
180
00:09:53,281 --> 00:09:55,783
So you biopsied his brain
for nothing?
181
00:09:56,075 --> 00:09:58,578
If that were true,
would Dr. Wilson's mouth
182
00:09:58,703 --> 00:10:00,997
be contorted into
that ugly shape?
183
00:10:02,665 --> 00:10:05,126
It's toxoplasmosis.
184
00:10:05,752 --> 00:10:07,128
You sure?
185
00:10:08,213 --> 00:10:11,507
Which means the Great Black Hope
has full-blown AIDS.
186
00:10:14,510 --> 00:10:17,180
They're gonna
love that in Dubuque.
187
00:10:21,184 --> 00:10:24,604
Toxoplasmosis is a fairly
common fungus you can get
188
00:10:24,729 --> 00:10:27,690
from eating under-cooked meat
or touching cat feces.
189
00:10:27,857 --> 00:10:30,151
In rare cases, the fungi
travel up the bloodstream
190
00:10:30,276 --> 00:10:34,239
and latch onto the brain,
causing a lesion or inflammation.
191
00:10:34,364 --> 00:10:36,741
So, what's the prognosis?
192
00:10:39,285 --> 00:10:42,205
Toxo usually
responds to treatment,
193
00:10:42,330 --> 00:10:44,165
but it only causes
a lesion in your brain
194
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:47,835
if your immune system
is extremely weak to begin with.
195
00:10:50,088 --> 00:10:52,674
Senator,
I'm afraid you have AIDS.
196
00:10:57,011 --> 00:10:58,054
- As I'm sure...
- No!
197
00:10:58,179 --> 00:11:01,057
As I'm sure you know,
people with HIV can live a long time.
198
00:11:01,182 --> 00:11:02,934
What else could
do this to me?
199
00:11:03,643 --> 00:11:05,144
Theoretically, certain cancers.
200
00:11:05,270 --> 00:11:08,439
If you have toxo in your brain,
you have AIDS.
201
00:11:09,857 --> 00:11:13,569
I do not have AIDS.
202
00:11:13,695 --> 00:11:17,365
(STAMMERING)
I don't shoot up drugs.
203
00:11:17,490 --> 00:11:21,119
I don't sleep with...
204
00:11:21,244 --> 00:11:24,080
This is very bad news.
I get that and I sympathize.
205
00:11:24,205 --> 00:11:26,165
But we gotta speed through
the denial phase
206
00:11:26,291 --> 00:11:28,543
because you need antiretrovirals
and you need them fast.
207
00:11:34,048 --> 00:11:36,217
You haven't even
tested me for HIV!
208
00:11:36,342 --> 00:11:37,176
We will.
209
00:11:37,302 --> 00:11:40,096
But the toxo drugs
are gonna piss off your fungi.
210
00:11:40,221 --> 00:11:42,223
And when fungi get pissed...
211
00:11:43,933 --> 00:11:46,227
I am not going
to take the pills.
212
00:11:46,352 --> 00:11:48,604
You're afraid
word will leak out.
213
00:11:49,856 --> 00:11:52,400
Trust me. You're not gonna
be president either way.
214
00:11:52,525 --> 00:11:55,820
They don't call it the White House
because of the paint job.
215
00:11:56,946 --> 00:11:58,239
Here's what you're gonna do.
216
00:11:58,614 --> 00:12:02,910
You're gonna give me the drugs
for the toxo only.
217
00:12:03,661 --> 00:12:07,498
You're going to test me for HIV
under a false name.
218
00:12:07,623 --> 00:12:09,792
You are going to
test me for cancer
219
00:12:09,917 --> 00:12:12,795
and anything else that could have
done this to me.
220
00:12:13,004 --> 00:12:16,382
If I have cancer,
I will deal with it.
221
00:12:19,177 --> 00:12:24,307
But I do not have AIDS.
222
00:12:26,934 --> 00:12:29,187
"Eastbrook Pharmaceuticals
are pleased to announce
223
00:12:29,312 --> 00:12:30,897
that Dr. Gregory House

the latest research on our exciting
new ACE inhibitor."
225
00:12:35,902 --> 00:12:37,904
You're making that up.
That's Vogler's company.
226
00:12:38,029 --> 00:12:39,113
Press release.
227
00:12:39,238 --> 00:12:43,201
"During an address at the North
American Cardiology Conference."
228
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,288
House never gives speeches.
229
00:12:47,413 --> 00:12:49,165
But when I really
believe in something...
230
00:12:49,290 --> 00:12:52,377
Gosh dang it, I got a chance
to make a difference here.
231
00:12:53,252 --> 00:12:55,380
You made a deal with Vogler?
232
00:12:55,505 --> 00:12:58,174
It's all the rage.
Everybody's doing it.
233
00:12:59,509 --> 00:13:01,052
So, what's the deal?
234
00:13:01,177 --> 00:13:04,180
You get to keep all of us
if you flog his products?
235
00:13:04,305 --> 00:13:05,807
One speech. No biggie.
236
00:13:06,808 --> 00:13:10,228
Foreman's doing a bone marrow biopsy
to check for cancer.
237
00:13:10,353 --> 00:13:12,397
Cancer?
The senator's got AIDS.
238
00:13:12,522 --> 00:13:14,649
Cancer sounds better
in a press release.
239
00:13:14,774 --> 00:13:17,485
I need you guys to rush
the ELISA test for HIV.
240
00:13:17,610 --> 00:13:19,070
Thank you.
241
00:13:20,113 --> 00:13:21,197
For the speech.
242
00:13:21,322 --> 00:13:24,033
When I said "rush",
I meant, you know, fast.
243
00:13:24,158 --> 00:13:26,202
"Stat's" the word
you doctors use, right?
244
00:13:26,327 --> 00:13:28,704
- I know it's hard for you.
- Double stat?
245
00:13:33,501 --> 00:13:35,503
FOREMAN:
This may sting a little.
246
00:13:37,046 --> 00:13:40,174
- Sorry.
- It wasn't the shot.
247
00:13:40,299 --> 00:13:43,761
It's... My head's killing me.
248
00:13:44,303 --> 00:13:46,472
You know, Senator,
we don't have to do this now.
249
00:13:46,597 --> 00:13:48,766
We can hold off
till your HIV test comes back.
250
00:13:48,891 --> 00:13:49,976
(CHUCKLES)
251
00:13:50,101 --> 00:13:52,687
Because you figure
it's gonna come back positive.
252
00:13:52,812 --> 00:13:53,980
In my experience...
253
00:13:54,105 --> 00:13:55,106
Patients lie,
254
00:13:55,231 --> 00:13:58,860
politicians lie more,
and black politicians...
255
00:13:59,318 --> 00:14:02,280
I don't think black politicians
lie more than white politicians.
256
00:14:02,405 --> 00:14:03,990
We lie less.
257
00:14:04,115 --> 00:14:06,826
You figure we're
morally superior?
258
00:14:06,951 --> 00:14:08,744
I've got my theories.
259
00:14:09,579 --> 00:14:13,124
No, we just can't
get away with it.

No one's gonna give us
the benefit of the doubt.

00:14:20,173 --> 00:14:22,383
No one's gonna cut
us a second chance.
263
00:14:23,009 --> 00:14:26,929
And when it happens,
it's not just a bad politician.
264
00:14:27,054 --> 00:14:29,390
It's a bad role model.
265
00:14:29,515 --> 00:14:32,310
It's a dis...
266
00:14:32,894 --> 00:14:36,397
discredit to the race.
267
00:14:47,325 --> 00:14:49,202
You ready?
268
00:14:49,327 --> 00:14:50,495
Yeah.
269
00:14:51,287 --> 00:14:52,246
Yeah.
270
00:14:54,207 --> 00:14:56,209

272
00:15:06,886 --> 00:15:09,055
Dr. House, I just wanted...
273
00:15:09,180 --> 00:15:10,139
You're welcome, again.
274
00:15:10,264 --> 00:15:11,349
I want you to
know how much...
275
00:15:11,474 --> 00:15:13,726
Got it. You're grateful.
276
00:15:13,851 --> 00:15:16,687
Apparently you seem to think
it will mean a lot to me to know that.
277
00:15:16,812 --> 00:15:19,357
Do you know why
people pray to God?
278
00:15:19,482 --> 00:15:20,525
I thought you
didn't believe in God.
279
00:15:20,650 --> 00:15:21,609
I don't.
280
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,320
Well, then you better be making
a very good point.
281
00:15:24,445 --> 00:15:25,988
Do you think they pray to him
and praise him
282
00:15:26,113 --> 00:15:27,865
because they want him
to know how great he is?
283
00:15:28,074 --> 00:15:29,492
God already knows that.
284
00:15:31,118 --> 00:15:33,704
Are you comparing me to God?
285
00:15:33,829 --> 00:15:38,042
I mean, that's great, but just so you
know, I've never made a tree.
286
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,921
I thank you because
it means something to me

00:15:43,548 --> 00:15:45,925
to be grateful
for what I receive.

atheist I've ever met.

you have a patient in Room 1.

Thank God.

crush them like bugs.

I don't know if I pronounced that right.

Gosh, the Internet is
such a wonderful tool.
295
00:16:21,085 --> 00:16:24,547
- It could be leukemia.
- Definitely possible.
296
00:16:24,672 --> 00:16:27,174
The more likely
diagnosis is hickey.
297

Well, it can't be a hickey.

of sex all of a sudden?

Either you're lying
or I'm wrong.

Your T cell count is eight,
312

which means there's a good chance
you'll die.
313

I'm telling you this because
we need to contact your sexual partners.

I've only had two girlfriends.
Two.

I used condoms.

You know the chances
of you getting HIV

00:17:53,969 --> 00:17:56,555
from heterosexual
sex with a condom?
319
00:17:56,681 --> 00:17:58,265
Yes.

be a black president.

Someday there will
be a gay president.

Maybe there'll even be a gay,
black president.

But one combination I do not see
happening is gay, black and dead.

lying to me.

the worst in people.

Cut the crap.
You're dying.

you're witty and you are a coward.

doesn't make it false.

00:19:49,126 --> 00:19:51,086
That's not surprising.
345
00:19:52,213 --> 00:19:54,548
He's just gonna keep getting worse.
You realize that, right?
346
00:19:54,673 --> 00:19:57,051
Why are you
spying on my case?
347
00:19:57,176 --> 00:19:59,345
Why are you giving
that speech next week?
348
00:19:59,470 --> 00:20:01,013
We're both just doing
what we have to do.
349
00:20:01,138 --> 00:20:02,598
You don't see
a problem with that?
350
00:20:02,723 --> 00:20:04,600
Checking in on a patient?
351
00:20:04,725 --> 00:20:07,102
Yeah, wow. How do I look
myself in the mirror?
352
00:20:07,228 --> 00:20:10,147
You're not being asked to perpetrate
a fraud on the American people.
353
00:20:10,272 --> 00:20:11,273
It's a 10-minute speech.
354
00:20:11,398 --> 00:20:12,566
That I've been
ordered to give.
355
00:20:12,691 --> 00:20:14,735
- Vogler's drug works.
- Don't care.
356
00:20:14,860 --> 00:20:17,363
Why do you have to make
everything so dramatic?
357
00:20:17,488 --> 00:20:20,282
'Cause I'm a very
high-strung little lap dog.
358
00:20:20,950 --> 00:20:22,952
(BARKING)
359
00:20:23,327 --> 00:20:24,411
(GROWLS)
360
00:20:24,537 --> 00:20:25,663
(BARKS)
361
00:20:27,206 --> 00:20:28,499
(GRUNTS)
362
00:20:31,710 --> 00:20:33,838
Uh-uh. No pills.
363
00:20:33,963 --> 00:20:35,381
What's going on?
364
00:20:36,674 --> 00:20:39,051
The antiretrovirals
aren't working.
365
00:20:39,176 --> 00:20:40,010
Why not?
366
00:20:41,804 --> 00:20:43,389
Because you don't have AIDS.
367
00:20:43,514 --> 00:20:45,015
(LAUGHS)
368
00:20:45,975 --> 00:20:48,435
The first test was
a false positive.
369
00:20:48,561 --> 00:20:51,146
Happens one time
in every 5,000.
370
00:20:51,272 --> 00:20:53,399
You ran a second test?
371
00:20:53,524 --> 00:20:55,359
Yeah.
372
00:20:55,484 --> 00:20:56,402
Yeah.
373
00:20:57,570 --> 00:20:59,488
You're still dying.
374
00:21:01,866 --> 00:21:04,994
The only difference is,
now we don't know why.
375
00:21:09,039 --> 00:21:10,374
(MONITOR BEEPING)
376
00:21:17,756 --> 00:21:19,884
He's continuing to lose control
of the muscles on his right side.
377
00:21:20,009 --> 00:21:23,137
His brain is getting foggier and his
T cells are still in single digits.
378
00:21:23,262 --> 00:21:26,265
- Why are we doing this here?
- So Cuddy can't find us.
379
00:21:26,432 --> 00:21:28,475
Unless we figure out
the underlying disease,
380
00:21:28,601 --> 00:21:30,352
this guy's lied to
his last constituent.
381
00:21:30,477 --> 00:21:32,479
False negative
on the PCR AIDS test?
382
00:21:32,605 --> 00:21:33,856
Ran it twice.
383
00:21:34,231 --> 00:21:35,774
Immunoglobulin deficiency?
384
00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:37,234
No history of
respiratory problems.
385
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,403
Idiopathic T cell deficiency.
386
00:21:39,528 --> 00:21:41,405
"Idiopathic" from the Latin
meaning "we're idiots"
387
00:21:41,530 --> 00:21:44,074
'cause we can't figure
out what's causing it.
388
00:21:45,951 --> 00:21:48,662
- Give him a whole body scan.
- You hate whole body scans.
389
00:21:48,787 --> 00:21:50,247
Because they're useless.
390
00:21:50,372 --> 00:21:51,790
Could probably scan
every one of us
391
00:21:51,916 --> 00:21:54,251
and find five different doodads
that look like cancer.
392
00:21:54,418 --> 00:21:57,671
But when you're fourth down
and a hundred to go in the snow,
393
00:21:57,796 --> 00:22:00,799
you don't call a running play
up the middle, unless you're the Jets.
394
00:22:03,385 --> 00:22:05,554
I hate sports metaphors.
395
00:22:05,679 --> 00:22:06,804
Why did you order
the second AIDS test?
396
00:22:06,805 --> 00:22:07,806
Why did you order
the second AIDS test?
397
00:22:07,932 --> 00:22:09,016
Standard procedure.
398
00:22:09,141 --> 00:22:11,685
Oh, well, that's you,
Mr. Standard Procedure.
399
00:22:11,810 --> 00:22:13,979
You suspected the first test
was a false positive?
400
00:22:14,104 --> 00:22:15,564
I knew he was
going to Africa,
401
00:22:15,689 --> 00:22:17,816
and I figured he was vaccinated
for Hep A and B.
402
00:22:17,942 --> 00:22:19,318
That could cause
a false positive.
403
00:22:19,443 --> 00:22:21,528
Yeah, but you knew that
before you ordered the first test.
404
00:22:21,654 --> 00:22:23,489
- What changed?
- I should have ordered both.
405
00:22:24,740 --> 00:22:26,492
You were sure he had AIDS.
406
00:22:26,617 --> 00:22:29,244
Then you talked to him,
then you had doubts.
407
00:22:29,370 --> 00:22:30,663
What did he say?
408
00:22:31,163 --> 00:22:34,458
He said he had not engaged
in any risky behavior.
409
00:22:36,085 --> 00:22:39,463
- And you believed him.
- He didn't have any reason to lie.
410
00:22:39,588 --> 00:22:42,841
Everybody lies,
except politicians?
411
00:22:42,967 --> 00:22:45,511
House, I believe
you're a romantic.
412
00:22:45,636 --> 00:22:48,222
You didn't just believe him,
you believed in him.
413
00:22:48,347 --> 00:22:51,100
Do you want to come over tonight
and watch old movies and cry?
414
00:22:52,226 --> 00:22:54,103
Dr. Cameron's getting to you.
415
00:22:54,228 --> 00:22:56,146
Well, I guess you can't be
around that much niceness
416
00:22:56,271 --> 00:22:57,356
and not get any on you.
417
00:22:57,481 --> 00:22:58,899
Is that why you haven't
put the moves on her?
418
00:22:59,024 --> 00:23:02,236
What makes you think
I haven't put the moves on her?
419
00:23:06,281 --> 00:23:08,075
Boy! You're in trouble.
420
00:23:18,377 --> 00:23:21,338
You have restored my faith
in the human race.
421
00:23:22,715 --> 00:23:25,718
- You're lying.
- No. I'm not lying.
422
00:23:26,135 --> 00:23:29,805
Just got your results back.
No GHB, no nothing.
423
00:23:29,930 --> 00:23:32,182
It means you're having sex
and you're lying about it.
424
00:23:32,307 --> 00:23:35,310
No. And I have a new symptom.
425
00:23:36,103 --> 00:23:39,231
I have a rash on my butt.
426
00:23:41,066 --> 00:23:44,570
Do you wanna... Yeah.
427
00:23:50,951 --> 00:23:52,578
What is it?
428
00:23:52,703 --> 00:23:56,623
- It's a carpet burn.
- No. It can't be.
429
00:23:56,749 --> 00:23:58,584
Doctor, I love sex.
430
00:23:58,709 --> 00:24:01,920
I miss it. I haven't had
any in over a year.
431
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,965
Well, you managed
to keep this appointment,
432
00:24:05,090 --> 00:24:07,426
so you have no
short-term memory problem.
433
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,511
Multiple personalities?
434
00:24:09,636 --> 00:24:11,346
Do you find yourself
losing chunks of time?
435
00:24:11,472 --> 00:24:13,599
Do you wake up and you don't
remember falling asleep?
436
00:24:13,724 --> 00:24:16,977
No. I just wake up
really exhausted.
437
00:24:17,102 --> 00:24:20,272
- Something upsetting you?
- No.
438
00:24:22,399 --> 00:24:25,319
My ex lives
in the apartment downstairs.
439
00:24:25,444 --> 00:24:26,945
He's always calling me,
440
00:24:27,071 --> 00:24:28,405
always wanting to
get back together,
441
00:24:28,530 --> 00:24:30,032
complaining
about mixed signals.
442
00:24:30,157 --> 00:24:33,285
"Get out of my life."
How much clearer can you get?
443
00:24:34,411 --> 00:24:37,122
We have a sleep lab
in the basement.
444
00:24:38,123 --> 00:24:41,752
If nothing else, it will get you
away from your ex for a night.
445
00:24:55,933 --> 00:24:58,310
Slightly enlarged lymph node
in his left armpit.
446
00:24:58,435 --> 00:24:59,269
How slightly?
447
00:24:59,394 --> 00:25:00,312
WILSON: Quarter mil.
448
00:25:00,437 --> 00:25:02,189
- Lymphoma?
- Sure.
449
00:25:02,815 --> 00:25:05,109
Or he's had a cold
in the last six months.
450
00:25:05,234 --> 00:25:07,152
What, you got her
on speed dial?
451
00:25:07,277 --> 00:25:09,613
I just follow
the scent of arrogance.
452
00:25:09,738 --> 00:25:11,657
CHASE: Another slightly
enlarged node over here.
453
00:25:11,782 --> 00:25:14,368
Two more in his neck
and one in his groin.
454
00:25:14,493 --> 00:25:16,286
And there's
a cyst in his liver.
455
00:25:16,411 --> 00:25:18,622
CAMERON: It looks complex.
Central necrosis?
456
00:25:18,747 --> 00:25:21,125
HOUSE:
Spontaneous bleeding. It's benign.
457
00:25:21,250 --> 00:25:23,168
I was rooting for
a really cool tumor.
458
00:25:23,293 --> 00:25:24,962
Instead, we're stuck
with this crap.
459
00:25:25,087 --> 00:25:27,714
Doesn't matter. Once you find them,
you gotta check them.
460
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,633
Knock yourselves out.
461
00:25:30,634 --> 00:25:33,178
I just saw Senator Wright.
He looks like hell.
462
00:25:33,303 --> 00:25:36,974
That sushi must've been
a lot worse than you thought.
463
00:25:37,099 --> 00:25:39,977
Mr. Vogler, would you like
a free whole body scan?
464
00:25:40,269 --> 00:25:42,187
A man of your stature
should get himself checked
465
00:25:42,312 --> 00:25:43,981
at least three times a year.
466
00:25:44,106 --> 00:25:47,484
Here's a few key points
I want you to cover during your speech.
467
00:25:49,278 --> 00:25:50,821
HOUSE: Fourteen pages.
468
00:25:50,946 --> 00:25:54,324
The audience will be comatose
by paragraph two.
469
00:25:54,449 --> 00:25:55,993
Throw in a joke.
470
00:26:00,497 --> 00:26:03,208
Dr. Chase, we need to talk.
471
00:26:06,295 --> 00:26:08,130
HOUSE:
How do you see this ending?
472
00:26:08,255 --> 00:26:09,673
What ending?
473
00:26:09,798 --> 00:26:11,925
I can't fire you,
so you have no reason to fear me,
474
00:26:12,050 --> 00:26:14,970
and, therefore,
no reason to lie to me.
475
00:26:15,095 --> 00:26:16,972
You told Cuddy
where I was.
476
00:26:17,097 --> 00:26:18,891
You told Vogler
what I was doing.
477
00:26:24,438 --> 00:26:28,025
- Yeah.
- So how can I work with you?
478
00:26:29,693 --> 00:26:32,571
Well,
you don't have a choice.
479
00:26:36,158 --> 00:26:37,534
FOREMAN:
This might hurt a little.
480
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,661
Lie to me.
481
00:26:39,786 --> 00:26:40,996
(CHUCKLES)
482
00:26:41,330 --> 00:26:44,291
Okay. It'll feel
like a gentle massage.
483
00:26:44,833 --> 00:26:50,339
House is a lousy teacher.
484
00:26:50,464 --> 00:26:54,009
You can't lie for beans.
485
00:26:54,134 --> 00:26:56,762
Have you ever told
any really big ones?
486
00:26:57,804 --> 00:27:01,475
I might be messed up,
but I'm not that out of it.
487
00:27:03,060 --> 00:27:04,353
(EXCLAIMS)
488
00:27:04,561 --> 00:27:06,313
FOREMAN: Strap his arm down.
489
00:27:14,988 --> 00:27:17,115
Am I going to be okay?
490
00:27:18,742 --> 00:27:19,993
I hope so.
491
00:27:26,959 --> 00:27:31,088
- I am selling my soul.
- Just a little piece.
492
00:27:31,380 --> 00:27:33,131
And you are getting
something in return.
493
00:27:33,257 --> 00:27:36,885
I said I was selling it,
I didn't say I was giving it away.
494
00:27:37,010 --> 00:27:39,388
That would be
immoral and stupid.
495
00:27:39,513 --> 00:27:41,682
All they've done
is add an antacid.
496
00:27:41,807 --> 00:27:43,350
- Does it work?
- Well, it's not the point.
497
00:27:43,475 --> 00:27:46,478
Of course it's the point.
He's not asking you to lie.
498
00:27:46,603 --> 00:27:48,188
He's not asking you
to do something illegal.
499
00:27:48,313 --> 00:27:50,023
He's not asking me
to do anything.
500
00:27:50,148 --> 00:27:51,275
He's not ordering you.
501
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,236
He gave you a choice.
You chose your staff.
502
00:27:55,153 --> 00:27:57,239
I know this isn't easy for you.
You'll suffer.
503
00:27:57,364 --> 00:27:59,866
Vicodin sales in Jersey
will triple.
504
00:27:59,992 --> 00:28:02,244
But you are doing a good thing.
505
00:28:08,834 --> 00:28:12,379
Only you could feel like crap
about doing something good.
506
00:28:13,171 --> 00:28:15,132
FOREMAN: Kidney and liver
cysts are both benign,
507
00:28:15,257 --> 00:28:17,134
and the lymph nodes
all came back clean.
508
00:28:17,259 --> 00:28:20,220
His left armpit node
has antibodies for CD11.
509
00:28:20,345 --> 00:28:22,306
Well, not enough to
indicate lymphoma.
510
00:28:22,431 --> 00:28:24,641
We never tested for
hairy cell leukemia.
511
00:28:24,766 --> 00:28:26,101
WILSON:
No, but we would have picked it up
512
00:28:26,226 --> 00:28:27,728
somewhere else
besides one lymph node.
513
00:28:27,853 --> 00:28:30,230
And his spleen
isn't enlarged.
514
00:28:30,355 --> 00:28:31,690
Size isn't everything.
515
00:28:32,149 --> 00:28:34,609
The spleen is the mother lode
for hairy cells.
516
00:28:37,612 --> 00:28:39,823
- Let's cut it open.
- You can't biopsy his spleen.
517
00:28:39,948 --> 00:28:41,867
- It'll bleed like stink.
- In the senator's condition,
518
00:28:41,992 --> 00:28:44,786
a spleen biopsy could easily
cause sepsis and kill him.
519
00:28:44,911 --> 00:28:47,039
Why do you do this to me?
520
00:28:47,164 --> 00:28:48,915
Now if I kill him,
I can't tell the judge
521
00:28:49,041 --> 00:28:50,334
I had no idea of
the risks involved.
522
00:28:50,459 --> 00:28:51,585
FOREMAN: His brain is
turning into mush,
523
00:28:51,710 --> 00:28:53,920
and he's at risk for more infections.
We have to do it.
524
00:28:54,046 --> 00:28:56,214
See? That'll sound
much better in court.
525
00:28:56,340 --> 00:28:58,091
Okay.
Go tell our human pincushion
526
00:28:58,216 --> 00:29:00,761
we'll be sticking him
one more time.
527
00:29:02,637 --> 00:29:03,889
HOUSE: Cuddy.
528
00:29:05,849 --> 00:29:09,936
- Don't you hate doing this?
- Yeah.
529
00:29:25,827 --> 00:29:27,287
What's up?
530
00:29:30,624 --> 00:29:32,167
You like me.
531
00:29:35,837 --> 00:29:36,880
Why?
532
00:29:39,591 --> 00:29:41,885
That's kind of a sad question.
533
00:29:44,179 --> 00:29:46,807
I'm just trying to figure out
what makes you tick.
534
00:29:46,932 --> 00:29:48,558
I am not warm and fuzzy,
535
00:29:48,683 --> 00:29:51,603
and you are basically
a stuffed animal made by Grandma.
536
00:29:51,728 --> 00:29:54,398
I don't think
that's why you're asking.
537
00:29:55,023 --> 00:29:56,733
I think this is
because of the speech.
538
00:29:56,858 --> 00:29:58,443
God, don't try
and pick me apart.
539
00:29:58,568 --> 00:30:03,156
Then why are you asking?
What do you want to hear?
540
00:30:23,468 --> 00:30:25,053
Hey, Senator.
541
00:30:25,178 --> 00:30:27,848
We need to do one more biopsy
on your spleen.
542
00:30:28,098 --> 00:30:29,307
(COUGHS)
543
00:30:29,516 --> 00:30:34,479
I'll have to sign lefty.
My fingers aren't working.
544
00:30:40,527 --> 00:30:42,195
FOREMAN:
Have you been coughing a lot?
545
00:30:43,405 --> 00:30:47,325
- Does it hurt?
- It's like I can't get air.
546
00:30:48,535 --> 00:30:51,037
Is it from the toxo?
547
00:30:51,913 --> 00:30:55,876
No. This...
This is new.
548
00:30:56,209 --> 00:30:57,210
(wmzeznqe)
549
00:30:57,502 --> 00:31:00,630
You don't need to sign.
We can't do the biopsy.
550
00:31:09,598 --> 00:31:12,184
FOREMAN: The senator's breathing
is severely impaired.
551
00:31:12,309 --> 00:31:14,060
His O2 sat levels are at 89.
552
00:31:14,186 --> 00:31:17,355
His silver stain indicates
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.
553
00:31:17,481 --> 00:31:20,567
Another killer fungus.
Consistent with hairy cell leukemia.
554
00:31:20,692 --> 00:31:23,737
FOREMAN: But we can't biopsy
his spleen. Respiratory distress.
555
00:31:23,862 --> 00:31:26,531
His platelets are 20 and dropping.
His blood won't clot worth a damn.
556
00:31:26,656 --> 00:31:28,325
CAMERON: There's gotta be
another way to diagnose hairy cell.
557
00:31:28,450 --> 00:31:31,536
No. His bone marrow's indeterminate.
Spleen biopsy's the only way to go.
558
00:31:31,661 --> 00:31:34,998
You know, when the Inuit go fishing,
they don't look for fish.
559
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,798
Why, Dr. House?
560
00:31:44,174 --> 00:31:48,637
They look for the blue heron
because there's no way to see the fish.
561
00:31:48,762 --> 00:31:50,972
But if there's fish,
there's gonna be birds fishing.
562
00:31:51,223 --> 00:31:54,935
Now, if he's got hairy cell, what else
should we see circling overhead?
563
00:31:55,060 --> 00:31:57,187
He should have all
sorts of weird viruses.
564
00:31:57,312 --> 00:31:58,980
HTLV and ATLV.
565
00:31:59,105 --> 00:32:01,691
We can test for them.
Run the titers.
566
00:32:03,985 --> 00:32:06,655
HOUSE: These were your
brain waves at 2:45 a.m.
567
00:32:06,780 --> 00:32:10,367
Now, here it comes. There's an abrupt
jump from slow-wave sleep.
568
00:32:11,743 --> 00:32:14,412
This indicates
partial sleep arousal.
569
00:32:14,538 --> 00:32:17,791
Most common type is somnambulism.
Sleepwalking.
570
00:32:17,916 --> 00:32:20,335
That would explain
why I'm so tired when I wake up.
571
00:32:20,460 --> 00:32:23,129
Yes. And also why
you were pregnant.
572
00:32:23,922 --> 00:32:27,008
And the hickeys.
And the carpet burn.
573
00:32:27,133 --> 00:32:29,553
I had sex in my sleep?
574
00:32:29,678 --> 00:32:32,222
Sexsomnia is
a documented disorder.
575
00:32:33,598 --> 00:32:35,183
You said your ex
lives downstairs.
576
00:32:35,308 --> 00:32:36,434
I'll kill him.
577
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,854
Okay. But he probably
didn't know that you were asleep.
578
00:32:39,980 --> 00:32:42,232
Sexsomniacs can
act pretty normal.
579
00:32:42,357 --> 00:32:45,694
I'm gonna write you a prescription
for a low-dose antidepressant.
580
00:32:45,819 --> 00:32:47,445
It'll let you sleep better.
581
00:32:47,571 --> 00:32:49,864
If you wanna save
yourself the $15 co-pay,
582
00:32:49,990 --> 00:32:51,825
you could have sex
while you're awake.
583
00:32:53,243 --> 00:32:54,244
He's my ex. I...
584
00:32:54,369 --> 00:32:55,620
You live in
the same building.
585
00:32:55,745 --> 00:32:57,998
You haven't had sex
with anyone else for a year.
586
00:32:58,123 --> 00:32:59,833
You sleepwalk
right into his arms.
587
00:33:00,041 --> 00:33:02,961
Call me crazy,
but I'm sensing unresolved issues.
588
00:33:07,424 --> 00:33:09,759
Negative for HTLV 1 and 2.
589
00:33:09,884 --> 00:33:12,178
And negative for ATLV
and everything else.
590
00:33:12,304 --> 00:33:14,306
It's not hairy cell.
591
00:33:15,307 --> 00:33:18,310
Hey. You really
gonna give that speech?
592
00:33:19,227 --> 00:33:22,647
- You got an opinion, too?
- I'm a little surprised.
593
00:33:22,772 --> 00:33:24,232
Frankly, I thought
you were too much
594
00:33:24,357 --> 00:33:26,776
of a self-absorbed ass
to do this for us.
595
00:33:26,901 --> 00:33:28,653
You're welcome.
596
00:33:28,778 --> 00:33:30,447
He's positive
for Epstein-Barr.
597
00:33:31,448 --> 00:33:33,241
So what? It doesn't
point to hairy cell.
598
00:33:33,366 --> 00:33:34,993
It's irrelevant.
599
00:33:46,421 --> 00:33:47,547

- Six.
- Ever.

- Give that back.
- We have to talk.

You had an epileptic seizure.
That's how you bit your tongue.

I haven't had
a seizure since I...
606
00:34:08,860 --> 00:34:11,529
What medication
did you take?
607
00:34:11,655 --> 00:34:14,991
(STAMMERING)
No seizure since I was six.
608
00:34:15,116 --> 00:34:19,871
No drugs since I was 10.

00:34:19,996 --> 00:34:21,289
Yeah, that's it.

00:34:21,414 --> 00:34:23,208
Don't worry about
what the question is.

Don't worry that you're
starting to feel dizzy.

621
00:34:57,450 --> 00:35:02,330
HOUSE: Senator Gary H. Wright
of New Jersey had childhood epilepsy.
622
00:35:02,747 --> 00:35:06,751
He took phenytoin. That drug,
with the Epstein-Barr virus,
623
00:35:06,876 --> 00:35:10,213
is associated with common variable
immunodeficiency disease.
624
00:35:10,338 --> 00:35:12,298
T cells down, B cells down.
625
00:35:12,424 --> 00:35:14,092
Keeps you from
forming enough antibodies.
626
00:35:14,217 --> 00:35:16,970
See, the antibodies are basically
your defensive line.
627
00:35:17,512 --> 00:35:20,557
And your brain is
like the quarterback.
628
00:35:20,682 --> 00:35:24,978
And then the fungi are like blitzing
linebackers plunging up the middle.
629
00:35:25,145 --> 00:35:27,397
Your lungs are like...
630
00:35:28,398 --> 00:35:29,482
Okay,
you got two quarterbacks.

CHASE: CVID?
632
00:35:30,692 --> 00:35:34,404
That's a type of immunoglobulin
deficiency. I said that.
633
00:35:34,529 --> 00:35:37,574
Yeah, well, it was a stupid idea
when you said it.
634
00:35:37,699 --> 00:35:39,033
Then he got
the respiratory problem
635
00:35:39,159 --> 00:35:40,952
and he tested
positive for Epstein-Barr.
636
00:35:41,077 --> 00:35:42,871
That's pretty much
a childhood disease.
637
00:35:42,996 --> 00:35:45,665
That's another reason why Chase's
suggestion was idiotic.
638
00:35:45,790 --> 00:35:48,460
He got it when he was a kid.
Didn't get any symptoms until now.
639
00:35:48,585 --> 00:35:49,586
It happens.
640
00:35:49,711 --> 00:35:53,423
It gets triggered by stress,
like public speaking.
641
00:35:53,548 --> 00:35:56,843
So you're basing your diagnosis
on a virus that's relatively common
642
00:35:56,968 --> 00:35:58,261
and a drug he took
30 years ago.

Start the senator
on IV immunoglobulin, stat.

00:38:56,814 --> 00:38:58,566
That's not a speech.
684
00:38:59,525 --> 00:39:01,194
I thought it was pithy.
685
00:39:01,319 --> 00:39:04,113
You got enough for
a press release anyhow.
686
00:39:04,238 --> 00:39:06,324
Foreman or Cameron.
687
00:39:17,001 --> 00:39:19,295
A few things
I forgot to mention.
688
00:39:20,296 --> 00:39:23,758
Ed Vogler is
a brilliant businessman,
689
00:39:23,883 --> 00:39:28,388
a brilliant judge of people,
and a man who has never lost a fight.
690
00:39:31,516 --> 00:39:35,311
You know how I know
that the new ACE inhibitor is good?
691
00:39:35,436 --> 00:39:37,146
'Cause the old one was good.
692
00:39:37,271 --> 00:39:40,274
The new one is really the same,
just more expensive.
693
00:39:41,109 --> 00:39:42,860
A lot more expensive.
694
00:39:43,319 --> 00:39:46,364
You see, that's another example
of Ed's brilliance.
695
00:39:46,489 --> 00:39:48,825
Whenever one of his drugs
is about to lose its patent,
696
00:39:48,950 --> 00:39:53,830
he has his boys and girls alter it just
a tiny bit, patent it all over again,
697
00:39:53,955 --> 00:39:56,833
making not just
a pointless new pill,
698
00:39:56,958 --> 00:39:59,377
but millions and millions of dollars.
699
00:39:59,794 --> 00:40:01,504
Which is good for everybody,
right?
700
00:40:01,629 --> 00:40:04,048
Except the patients.
But who cares?
701
00:40:04,173 --> 00:40:06,217
They're just so damn sick.
702
00:40:07,093 --> 00:40:09,053
God obviously never
liked them anyway.
703
00:40:10,221 --> 00:40:12,098
From all the healthy
people in the room,
704
00:40:12,223 --> 00:40:14,892
let's have a big
round of applause for Ed Vogler.
705
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,905
I threw in a joke.
706
00:40:33,119 --> 00:40:34,996
(PIANO PLAYING)
707
00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:52,221
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
708
00:41:22,794 --> 00:41:24,295
I'm sorry.
709
00:41:26,255 --> 00:41:28,257
I should've taken
an extra couple of Vicodin
710
00:41:28,382 --> 00:41:29,383
and just held my nose.
711
00:41:29,509 --> 00:41:32,136
I'm guessing you did take
a couple extra Vicodin.
712
00:41:32,261 --> 00:41:33,596
True.
713
00:41:37,225 --> 00:41:39,477
You don't need to worry
about firing anyone.
714
00:41:40,353 --> 00:41:41,354
I'm leaving.
715
00:41:43,439 --> 00:41:44,565
Why?
716
00:41:49,862 --> 00:41:53,533
Is this another noble,
self-sacrificing gesture?
717
00:41:54,659 --> 00:41:55,910
Are you trying to
protect Foreman?
718
00:41:56,035 --> 00:41:57,036
No.
719
00:41:57,161 --> 00:42:00,039
So this is just,
"Don't fire me. I quit"?
720
00:42:00,665 --> 00:42:02,625
I'm protecting myself.
721
00:42:06,963 --> 00:42:09,257
You asked me
why I like you.
722
00:42:10,716 --> 00:42:13,052
You're abrasive and rude.
723
00:42:15,012 --> 00:42:18,933
But I figured, everything you do,
you do it to help people.
724
00:42:21,102 --> 00:42:22,728
But I was wrong.
725
00:42:25,064 --> 00:42:26,941
You do it
because it's right.
726
00:42:49,338 --> 00:42:53,050
There are only two ways
that I can deal with things.
727
00:42:53,467 --> 00:42:55,261
One is in my control.
728
00:42:58,973 --> 00:43:00,224
That's to leave.
729
00:43:07,273 --> 00:43:09,108
Goodbye, House.
