You have a patient
waiting. See?
3
00:00:44,232 --> 00:00:45,317
I'm waiting for a follow-up.
4
00:00:45,442 --> 00:00:47,986
If you're talking
about Mr. Casdin,
5
00:00:48,111 --> 00:00:50,155
he has a deceased
sticker on his file,
6
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,992
as do all the other follow-ups you have
scheduled for today.
7
00:00:56,912 --> 00:00:57,746
Whoops!
8
00:01:05,962 --> 00:01:08,048
I had colds all winter.
9
00:01:08,882 --> 00:01:11,885
I've been in this room a while,
but it's spring now, right?
10
00:01:12,010 --> 00:01:15,597
I feel run down,
like maybe something big is coming on.
11
00:01:15,847 --> 00:01:19,059
Run down? Come on, give me
something. Sore throat?
12
00:01:19,267 --> 00:01:20,894
- No.
- Runny nose?
13
00:01:21,019 --> 00:01:22,813
No. I know it
sounds weird, I'm a nurse,
14
00:01:22,938 --> 00:01:26,692
but could you
run maybe a CBC or a thyroid...

Dr. Cuddy,
need a consult!
17
00:01:42,708 --> 00:01:43,917
Until she
stops seizing,
18
00:01:44,042 --> 00:01:46,503
may as well go back
to my office and get my diagnosis on.
19
00:01:46,628 --> 00:01:48,046
CUDDY: She's
urinating on herself.
20
00:01:48,171 --> 00:01:50,215
She's having a seizure.
If she hadn't peed...
21
00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:51,883
It's green.
22
00:01:56,096 --> 00:01:57,597
Interesting.
23
00:02:30,255 --> 00:02:32,007
Thirty-five-year-old woman.

Head of nursing
in an old-age home.
25
00:02:34,593 --> 00:02:37,763

symptoms and "P"?

I get it. Nice.

28
00:02:45,729 --> 00:02:48,482
Does that mean she
has green neurological symptoms as well?

Green indicates irony.

taking this case?
33
00:02:56,948 --> 00:03:00,952
Welcome, Your Lordship, we were just
preparing your morning briefing.
34
00:03:01,077 --> 00:03:02,829
Sorry I'm late,
35
00:03:02,954 --> 00:03:05,999
and, yes, green pee does meet
the only diagnostic requirement
36
00:03:06,124 --> 00:03:07,959
you care about.
It's interesting.
37
00:03:08,084 --> 00:03:10,504
But is it worth
us taking this case?
38
00:03:10,629 --> 00:03:14,424
"Us" aren't taking anything.
I'm taking. You're accepting.
39
00:03:14,966 --> 00:03:18,678
Okay, I accept. She has
adult-onset epilepsy,
40
00:03:18,804 --> 00:03:21,890
and she really likes
those St. Patrick's Day beers.
41
00:03:22,933 --> 00:03:25,393
Go check out the house and the office
for toxins and infections.
42
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:27,854
Her neuro exam was normal,
no subsequent seizures.
43
00:03:27,979 --> 00:03:31,274
It's not life threatening.
It's not important.
44
00:03:31,399 --> 00:03:33,109
Luckily, neither are you.
45
00:03:42,327 --> 00:03:44,955

- Fine.

this morning?

were arguing?

doesn't qualify as arguing.

Come on, man, I'm just trying
to help. We're friends.
50
00:03:57,968 --> 00:04:00,011
There are 400
Japanese teenagers
51
00:04:00,136 --> 00:04:01,263
you were playing
Halo with last night
52
00:04:01,388 --> 00:04:03,056
you're better
friends with.
53
00:04:03,181 --> 00:04:06,726
Your avatar should ask their avatars
how they're doing.

I consider you
a good friend

00:04:08,979 --> 00:04:11,940
even if we don't
hang that much outside of work.
56
00:04:13,316 --> 00:04:14,860
I wasn't arguing with him.
57
00:04:14,985 --> 00:04:15,944
You kind of were.
58
00:04:16,069 --> 00:04:19,406
Fine, I was.
And you know what?
59
00:04:19,531 --> 00:04:20,657
I was right.
60
00:04:21,157 --> 00:04:23,535
You got conned.
Methylthioninium chloride.
61
00:04:23,660 --> 00:04:26,037
Notable side effect,
green urine.
62
00:04:26,371 --> 00:04:27,831
She's a nurse,
she knows the dosage,
63
00:04:27,956 --> 00:04:28,999
knows how to
fake a seizure.
64
00:04:29,124 --> 00:04:32,919
She pees pea soup and gets the warm
attention of doctors all week long.
65
00:04:33,044 --> 00:04:34,880
She's a Munchausen,
and you're her mark.
66
00:04:35,005 --> 00:04:35,964
So your insight
is based on
67
00:04:36,089 --> 00:04:39,342
discovering an anti-Alzheimer's drug
at an old-age home.
68
00:04:39,467 --> 00:04:41,094
No good reason it'd be
sitting on her desk.
69
00:04:41,219 --> 00:04:43,889
You ever tried to pee on yourself
in public? It's not easy.
70
00:04:44,014 --> 00:04:46,725
Sorry, I rushed the Jewish frat,
we peed in private.
71
00:04:46,850 --> 00:04:49,728
For good reason. I can spot
a fake seizure,
72
00:04:50,437 --> 00:04:53,273
which means this was real,
which means
73
00:04:53,398 --> 00:04:54,941
her problem is phenol.
74
00:04:55,066 --> 00:04:56,902
Carbolic acid?
75
00:04:57,027 --> 00:04:59,571
Yeah, maybe she
accidentally inhaled some
76
00:04:59,696 --> 00:05:02,490
at a gout treatment
facility, circa 1890.
77
00:05:02,616 --> 00:05:04,784
It's still in some
antiseptic throat sprays.
78
00:05:04,910 --> 00:05:07,037
She's been chugging
it all winter for her colds.
79
00:05:07,162 --> 00:05:09,080
Phenol explains the
seizure and the urine.
80
00:05:09,205 --> 00:05:10,707
She'd have to drink
five bottles a day.
81
00:05:10,832 --> 00:05:12,042
Which is why I'm sure
you won't have trouble
82
00:05:12,167 --> 00:05:16,087
discovering the evidence of it
when you search her house. Bye.
83
00:05:18,757 --> 00:05:23,053
And you can start her on charcoal
hemoperfusion for the phenol poisoning.
84
00:05:24,179 --> 00:05:25,597
Seriously?
85
00:05:26,932 --> 00:05:28,934
Oh, you were lying
about the throat spray.
86
00:05:29,059 --> 00:05:31,436
That does make more sense.
87
00:05:31,561 --> 00:05:33,021
So why are you
wasting Taub's time?
88
00:05:33,146 --> 00:05:36,149
Because I don't want him to know
that I'm wasting my time
89
00:05:36,274 --> 00:05:38,944
disproving his fake
seizure theory. Zip!

Its like Debbie's here on Earth
to bring people to the other side.
173
00:10:18,973 --> 00:10:20,808
MAN: The doctors that we spoke to
also agree that the cat...
174
00:10:20,934 --> 00:10:22,977
Nut jobs get sick, too.
175
00:10:23,770 --> 00:10:28,524
So you think this
cat story is nonsense,
176
00:10:28,650 --> 00:10:31,569
and you admit she faked her
earlier symptoms,
177
00:10:31,694 --> 00:10:34,030
but you still think
she's actually sick now?
178
00:10:34,155 --> 00:10:37,492
Well, anything would sound ridiculous
if you said it in that voice.
179
00:10:37,617 --> 00:10:40,328
Confirm she's faking
or I'm gonna have to kick her out.
180
00:10:40,578 --> 00:10:41,871
There's that voice again.
181
00:10:41,996 --> 00:10:43,623
I'll give you 24 hours.
182
00:10:45,333 --> 00:10:46,376
Consecutive?
183
00:10:53,466 --> 00:10:55,051
What are you doing?
184
00:10:55,176 --> 00:11:00,431
No, Mr. Bond,
I expect you to die. Bronchospasm. Go.
185
00:11:00,556 --> 00:11:02,809
- Bronchitis.
- No cough, no fever,
186
00:11:02,934 --> 00:11:04,519
and Blofeld didn't
smoke a cigar.
187
00:11:04,644 --> 00:11:08,731
He might have. Dude had a lair,
means he was rich.
188
00:11:08,856 --> 00:11:13,403
Rich people enjoy a good stogie,
sometimes send them as gifts.
189
00:11:14,112 --> 00:11:15,738
Hey, Taub,
did that sound like
190
00:11:15,863 --> 00:11:18,783
I was awkwardly trying to segue
into making a point?
191
00:11:18,908 --> 00:11:20,743
- Yes.
- Emphysema.
192
00:11:20,868 --> 00:11:22,870
FOREMAN: Lungs
were clean on the CT.
193
00:11:22,996 --> 00:11:26,124
Dogs can be trained to predict
diabetic comas, epileptic seizures,
194
00:11:26,249 --> 00:11:29,294
they can smell cancer. It is possible
there's something to this cat.
195
00:11:29,419 --> 00:11:31,754
It's more possible
it was just a coincidence.
196
00:11:31,879 --> 00:11:34,716
Ten million nursing homes,
hundred million pet cats,
197
00:11:34,841 --> 00:11:36,175
one of them was bound
to pick a few winners.
198
00:11:36,301 --> 00:11:38,177
THIRTEEN: Debbie was able to predict
there was something wrong
199
00:11:38,303 --> 00:11:40,471
with the patient before you were.
Is that a coincidence, too?
200
00:11:40,596 --> 00:11:44,767
Maybe the cat didn't predict anything,
it might have caused the deaths.
201
00:11:44,892 --> 00:11:46,144
We should've
listened to Ted Nugent.
202
00:11:46,269 --> 00:11:49,689
Yeah. It could be cat scratch fever,
or visceral larva migrans.
203
00:11:49,814 --> 00:11:51,649
Maybe it didn't kill everyone
at the nursing home,
204
00:11:51,774 --> 00:11:53,359
but it may be killing Morgan.
205
00:11:53,484 --> 00:11:57,071
The worms hop from the cat to the
cat lady's lungs. I could buy that.
206
00:11:57,196 --> 00:11:58,948
Those cigars were for me.
207
00:11:59,073 --> 00:12:00,283
HOUSE: Hey, that reminds me.
208
00:12:00,408 --> 00:12:04,662
Why is some fancy CEO sending you
a box of Cuban cigars?
209
00:12:04,787 --> 00:12:06,789
Is it related to
your money worries?
210
00:12:06,914 --> 00:12:07,749
What money worries?
211
00:12:07,874 --> 00:12:10,918
Extrapolating from the fact that he's
been skipping his morning muffin,
212
00:12:11,044 --> 00:12:15,089
I'd say that he lost almost all
his money in the market last year.
213
00:12:15,715 --> 00:12:17,091
I'm on a diet.
214
00:12:17,717 --> 00:12:21,512
I'm also extrapolating from the online
portfolio you forgot to log off,
215
00:12:21,637 --> 00:12:23,765
but it's mostly
the muffins.
216
00:12:24,599 --> 00:12:26,809
Scope her for
worms in the lungs.
217
00:12:32,690 --> 00:12:34,484
We could help out in there.
218
00:12:34,609 --> 00:12:36,986
Yeah, it takes
at least four people
219
00:12:37,111 --> 00:12:40,573
to look inside a crazy woman's lungs
for imaginary worms.
220
00:12:40,698 --> 00:12:43,326
So, you're in
a good mood again.
221
00:12:43,451 --> 00:12:46,913
Do you need another speech
about what a great friend I am?
222
00:12:48,998 --> 00:12:51,542
I'm telling my wife
we don't need to downsize,
223
00:12:51,667 --> 00:12:53,419
but maybe we do.
224
00:12:55,463 --> 00:12:56,547
You really lost
all that money?
225
00:12:56,672 --> 00:12:58,800
I don't care about the money,
I just feel bad for Rachel.
226
00:12:59,258 --> 00:13:01,677
She married a guy in one situation,
ended up with another.
227
00:13:01,803 --> 00:13:03,638
- That's hard on anyone.
- Thanks,
228
00:13:03,763 --> 00:13:06,015
makes me feel much better,
hearing my wife's a gold digger.
229
00:13:06,307 --> 00:13:07,809
No, I just
meant she married
230
00:13:07,934 --> 00:13:10,478
this master-of-the-universe
successful surgeon,
231
00:13:10,603 --> 00:13:15,149
and now he's basically a flunky
for this mad scientist,
232
00:13:15,483 --> 00:13:18,027
who saves lives,
so that's good.
233
00:13:20,029 --> 00:13:22,490
There are no worms
in the lungs.
234
00:13:24,992 --> 00:13:26,994
What else could
cause bronchospasm?
235
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,371
Severe acid reflux.
236
00:13:28,496 --> 00:13:29,789
No esophagitis,
it's not reflux.
237
00:13:29,914 --> 00:13:31,499
Why are you
pushing a crash cart?
238
00:13:31,624 --> 00:13:34,627
Because patients sometimes crash,
and they haven't yet invented
239
00:13:34,752 --> 00:13:38,381
a crash tractor for me to drive wildly
around the hallways.
240
00:13:40,508 --> 00:13:43,386
Why are we in the
coma patients' room?
241
00:13:44,512 --> 00:13:45,721
(MEOWS)
242
00:13:46,848 --> 00:13:49,934
You actually think the cat is going
to predict someone's death?
243
00:13:50,059 --> 00:13:53,729
No. I know the cat is not going
to predict anyone's death.
244
00:13:53,855 --> 00:13:55,857
And then I will have
scientifically disproved...
245
00:13:55,982 --> 00:13:57,692
You didn't keep this patient
despite the cat,
246
00:13:57,817 --> 00:13:59,610
you kept this patient
because of the cat.
247
00:13:59,735 --> 00:14:02,196
You're scared there's
something to it.
248
00:14:02,321 --> 00:14:05,575
If I could prove the non-existence
of an omniscient God
249
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:07,994
who lovingly guides us
to the other side, I would.
250
00:14:08,119 --> 00:14:10,329
Cat version
will have to do.
251
00:14:12,540 --> 00:14:13,708
Are you scared?
252
00:14:13,833 --> 00:14:15,793
Cats' brains are
always in alpha mode.
253
00:14:15,918 --> 00:14:19,422
The few scientific tests that have
seemed to confirm psychic phenomena,
254
00:14:19,547 --> 00:14:20,756
that's where it takes place.
255
00:14:20,882 --> 00:14:23,384
Please tell me that you were kidding,
so I won't have to fire you.
256
00:14:23,509 --> 00:14:24,969
I was kidding.
257
00:14:25,386 --> 00:14:26,888
We still have
a human patient, right?
258
00:14:27,013 --> 00:14:29,390
- Airborne allergens possible?
- Skin test was negative.
259
00:14:29,515 --> 00:14:30,600
FOREMAN: Lungs
may be more sensitive.
260
00:14:30,725 --> 00:14:32,643
Or House
just screwed up.
261
00:14:32,768 --> 00:14:35,980
If you misinterpreted the breath sounds
as soft instead of loud,
262
00:14:36,105 --> 00:14:38,649
it's laryngospasm
instead of bronchospasm.
263
00:14:38,774 --> 00:14:40,693
Which she can
get from a simple panic attack,
264
00:14:40,818 --> 00:14:42,320
which she was having.
265
00:14:42,445 --> 00:14:46,073
I also heard the lung sounds, too, Taub.
You saying I screwed up?
266
00:14:46,199 --> 00:14:49,118
"Screwed up" is maybe
too harsh, but yes.
267
00:14:50,703 --> 00:14:52,371
THIRTEEN: Don't you
wanna check their charts?
268
00:14:52,497 --> 00:14:54,707
Of course not,
this is a double-blind.
269
00:14:54,832 --> 00:14:58,544
I don't want to even subconsciously
signal to Teddy which one's the sickest.
270
00:14:58,669 --> 00:15:00,254
Her name's Debbie.
271
00:15:00,546 --> 00:15:02,840
Are those welts
on that guy's arm?
272
00:15:02,965 --> 00:15:04,717
Were they here
when we got here?
273
00:15:09,472 --> 00:15:11,641
He has a severe
cat allergy.
274
00:15:15,895 --> 00:15:17,605
That never happened.
275
00:15:17,730 --> 00:15:18,898
Look at Debbie.
276
00:15:24,654 --> 00:15:29,742
Good news, Mr. Limpert.
277
00:15:30,117 --> 00:15:31,827
When you don't
die tonight,
278
00:15:31,953 --> 00:15:35,456
you will finally have done something
good for the world,
279
00:15:35,581 --> 00:15:38,626
as opposed to your
life as a fireman.
280
00:15:39,210 --> 00:15:42,421
Foreman's airborne allergen theory
makes the most sense.
281
00:15:42,547 --> 00:15:45,925
Do a methacholine
challenge on Catgirl to check it out.
282
00:15:52,682 --> 00:15:55,101
I told you to
get rid of Death Cat.
283
00:15:55,768 --> 00:15:58,646
- You see a cat?
- I see a litter box.
284
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,691
This is a disability,
Dr. Cuddy.
285
00:16:01,816 --> 00:16:05,778
- I can't make it to the men's room...
- You pee on the mice, too?
286
00:16:06,237 --> 00:16:09,365
Well, now, you see, the mice actually
prove that I don't have a cat.
287
00:16:09,490 --> 00:16:10,866
Are these...
288
00:16:11,576 --> 00:16:15,162
Are these the genetically modified
lab mice from oncology?
289
00:16:15,371 --> 00:16:17,873
Genetically modified
for tastiness.
290
00:16:20,668 --> 00:16:23,796
Get rid of the cat,
and get rid of your patient.
291
00:16:23,921 --> 00:16:25,923
My team is doing
a methacholine challenge.
292
00:16:26,048 --> 00:16:28,217
Your team just completed
a methacholine challenge,
293
00:16:28,342 --> 00:16:30,386
which came up negative.
294
00:16:30,511 --> 00:16:32,680
Who told you about
the test? Taub?
295
00:16:32,805 --> 00:16:34,849
I'll never say. But yes.
296
00:16:35,474 --> 00:16:37,768
Her airway's clamped
down. I heard it.
297
00:16:37,893 --> 00:16:39,854
We kick her
onto the streets, it could happen again.
298
00:16:39,979 --> 00:16:42,523
Wish there was
a "lawsuit cat," it could warn you.
299
00:16:42,648 --> 00:16:44,734
I'm sorry, but if you
won't escort her out,
300
00:16:44,859 --> 00:16:47,445
I'll have to get
security to do it.
301
00:16:56,078 --> 00:16:59,206
You're joining me
for a goodbye smoke.
302
00:16:59,332 --> 00:17:01,042
I don't smoke.
303
00:17:01,292 --> 00:17:05,379
Fine, if you don't want the seventh
graders to think you're cool.
304
00:17:11,177 --> 00:17:12,595
I went through your purse.
305
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,056
Horoscopes,
good-luck charms.
306
00:17:15,181 --> 00:17:17,892
You went to a good college,
good nursing school,
307
00:17:18,017 --> 00:17:20,394
so you weren't always
a superstitious idiot.
308
00:17:20,519 --> 00:17:21,812
I'm not a superstitious...
309
00:17:21,937 --> 00:17:24,774
How about four years,
that sound right?
310
00:17:25,316 --> 00:17:27,526
That's when you switched
from the family insurance plan
311
00:17:27,652 --> 00:17:28,903
to the one you're on now.
312
00:17:29,028 --> 00:17:31,405
I was married,
I got divorced.
313
00:17:32,406 --> 00:17:35,993
Two years before that,
you got chickenpox shots,
314
00:17:36,118 --> 00:17:39,288
which you only
get in adulthood when you have a kid.
315
00:17:39,413 --> 00:17:41,540
Or I should say
when you had a kid
316
00:17:41,666 --> 00:17:43,793
because no kid
has come to visit you.
317
00:17:43,918 --> 00:17:47,171
Which all makes me think
something bad happened.
318
00:17:50,841 --> 00:17:53,052
It was my stepson, Timothy.
319
00:17:56,305 --> 00:17:57,515
(COUGHS)
320
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,141
What happened?
321
00:17:59,350 --> 00:18:01,143
He was in school.
322
00:18:01,268 --> 00:18:04,855
He was having
his morning snack, and he choked.
323
00:18:06,315 --> 00:18:10,319
And the teachers saw it, and they did
everything that they were supposed to.
324
00:18:10,444 --> 00:18:12,488
He shouldn't have died.
325
00:18:14,073 --> 00:18:16,325
You wanna
make it make sense.
326
00:18:19,078 --> 00:18:20,955
(CRYING) What's
wrong with that?
327
00:18:21,455 --> 00:18:24,417
It's meaningless
is what's wrong.
328
00:18:24,542 --> 00:18:28,170
What's wrong is that it doesn't
do a thing to bring your kid back,
329
00:18:28,295 --> 00:18:30,840
or put you and
your ex together again.
330
00:18:33,384 --> 00:18:35,052
(COUGHING)
331
00:18:35,970 --> 00:18:37,596
Rash on your neck.
332
00:18:39,098 --> 00:18:41,308
Probably not
enough for Cuddy.
333
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:43,936
(COUGHING)
334
00:18:44,061 --> 00:18:46,647
- Can't breathe.
- Hey, Doc.
335
00:18:46,772 --> 00:18:48,065
(GASPING FOR BREATH)
336
00:18:49,358 --> 00:18:51,652
Breath sound soft
to you, Doc?
337
00:18:53,696 --> 00:18:56,115
Hooray, you're
officially sick.
338
00:19:02,329 --> 00:19:05,416
Churg-Strauss fits best.
Here's the plan.
339
00:19:05,541 --> 00:19:07,668
Taub, change the litter box.
340
00:19:09,044 --> 00:19:10,588
This is pathetic.
341
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,049
You're still punishing me for calling
you out on the green urine lady?
342
00:19:14,175 --> 00:19:16,802
Nope, this is for
ratting me out to Cuddy.
343
00:19:16,927 --> 00:19:20,681
I'm not asking you to apologize,
just scoop some poop out of a box.
344
00:19:20,806 --> 00:19:22,433
Just clean it.
345
00:19:23,893 --> 00:19:24,894
Let House do it.
346
00:19:25,019 --> 00:19:25,853
FOREMAN: (SCOFFING)
Yeah, that'll happen.
347
00:19:25,978 --> 00:19:29,398
He won't just continue to let
our room smell like cat pee.
348
00:19:29,523 --> 00:19:31,525
I'll clean it next time.
349
00:19:32,651 --> 00:19:34,403
I'm out of here.
350
00:19:41,494 --> 00:19:44,747
Now that you've delivered
that important lesson,
351
00:19:44,872 --> 00:19:48,501
I'm gonna go
test the patient. Whoa!
352
00:19:50,377 --> 00:19:52,171
What, you think
your bag's going to die now?
353
00:19:52,296 --> 00:19:53,756
Now you're punishing me
354
00:19:53,881 --> 00:19:56,133
because you think I'm superstitious?
What do you care?
355
00:19:56,258 --> 00:19:58,093
It's not so much
about me caring, per so,
356
00:19:58,219 --> 00:20:01,430
it's more about me wondering
why you're such a credulous idiot.
357
00:20:01,555 --> 00:20:05,351
Thirteen, start the patient on steroids
for the Churg-Strauss.
358
00:20:05,643 --> 00:20:08,771
Unless we have something
we need to argue about?
359
00:20:14,276 --> 00:20:15,945
This is good stuff.
360
00:20:16,070 --> 00:20:17,279
The best.
361
00:20:17,404 --> 00:20:18,614
It's made from
the distilled sweat of
362
00:20:18,739 --> 00:20:21,617
recently-laid-off
hedge fund managers.
363
00:20:21,742 --> 00:20:23,077
Aren't you happy
you came out tonight?
364
00:20:23,202 --> 00:20:27,373
Yeah. I wasn't actually going to,
but not the greatest day at work.
365
00:20:28,749 --> 00:20:31,544
I used to have
an office like this.
366
00:20:31,669 --> 00:20:32,503
Used to?
367
00:20:32,628 --> 00:20:34,296
When I was
a plastic surgeon.
368
00:20:34,421 --> 00:20:37,132
But one day, I took
stock of my life and...
369
00:20:38,551 --> 00:20:41,136
(SIGHING)
Oh, screw it.
370
00:20:42,805 --> 00:20:45,641
I had an affair with the daughter
of one of my partners.
371
00:20:45,766 --> 00:20:48,853
They signed a non-disclosure,
I signed a non-compete.
372
00:20:48,978 --> 00:20:52,648
And the funny thing is
I wound up telling my wife anyway.
373
00:20:56,652 --> 00:20:58,153
You like your job?
374
00:20:58,279 --> 00:21:01,824
Same as you, same as everyone,
it has its ups and downs.
375
00:21:03,784 --> 00:21:06,495
You're lying
to make me feel better.
376
00:21:07,329 --> 00:21:13,043
Yeah. It's the best. I'm in charge,
you know. I'm a kid with toys.
377
00:21:13,168 --> 00:21:15,462
Speaking of which,
what do you think of the prototype?
378
00:21:15,588 --> 00:21:17,548
It's amazing.
379
00:21:17,673 --> 00:21:19,675
You gotta make it
a half-inch smaller, though.
380
00:21:20,509 --> 00:21:22,344
- You serious?
- I got small hands,
381
00:21:22,469 --> 00:21:24,013
6.5 gloves,
like women surgeons,
382
00:21:24,138 --> 00:21:25,639
which are your
fastest-g rowing market.
383
00:21:25,764 --> 00:21:29,518
Me and the girls would have to use
two hands to hit the switch.
384
00:21:30,853 --> 00:21:34,189
Why do I bother paying
the idiots that work for me?
385
00:21:34,315 --> 00:21:35,774
Put down that crap
you're drinking,
386
00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:39,862
because I am breaking out
the really good stuff.
387
00:21:53,709 --> 00:21:55,252
What's wrong?
388
00:21:55,377 --> 00:21:57,671
I went to the bathroom.
My urine...
389
00:21:57,796 --> 00:21:59,757
- Green again?
- It's brown.
390
00:22:00,716 --> 00:22:03,218
I didn't do anything. Honest.
391
00:22:07,514 --> 00:22:10,768
HOUSE: (SINGING) I'm just a girl
who can't say no
392
00:22:12,186 --> 00:22:14,229
It is possible
she's still faking.
393
00:22:14,355 --> 00:22:16,273
She didn't fake
the bronchospasm.
394
00:22:16,398 --> 00:22:19,318
You think she's faking some stuff,
but not other stuff?
395
00:22:19,443 --> 00:22:20,861
Maybe she's Unchausen?
396
00:22:20,986 --> 00:22:24,156
I'm just saying the brown urine
doesn't make sense.
397
00:22:32,790 --> 00:22:34,333
- What?
- Nothing.
398
00:22:34,458 --> 00:22:37,544
THIRTEEN: We've ruled out every
possible cause for brown urine.
399
00:22:37,670 --> 00:22:40,172
No blood in the urine,
liver and kidneys fine.
400
00:22:40,297 --> 00:22:42,257
Brown could be fecal. Fistula.
401
00:22:42,383 --> 00:22:43,425
We checked.
402
00:22:43,550 --> 00:22:45,552
How do we know
the urine is still brown?
403
00:22:45,678 --> 00:22:48,263
Had to be. Once
you've gone brown...
404
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,977
If we've ruled out everything
that can make the urine brown,
405
00:22:53,102 --> 00:22:54,520
what if it just
looked brown.
406
00:22:54,645 --> 00:22:58,857
If the green dye never left her system,
what plus green makes brown?
407
00:23:00,401 --> 00:23:01,485
Purple.
408
00:23:02,236 --> 00:23:04,989
Strep bovis infection
from colon cancer.
409
00:23:05,114 --> 00:23:07,533
Paraneoplastic syndrome
would explain the bronchospasm.
410
00:23:07,658 --> 00:23:09,410
THIRTEEN: We scoped
her when we checked for the fistula,
411
00:23:09,535 --> 00:23:11,704
there's no tumor.
412
00:23:11,996 --> 00:23:13,372
Oh, no.
413
00:23:14,081 --> 00:23:16,291
I wasn't scared
by the umbrella, either.
414
00:23:16,417 --> 00:23:19,420
What? Not everything's
about you, Kutner.
415
00:23:19,545 --> 00:23:22,464
I realize it's stupid.
I just don't know everything,
416
00:23:22,589 --> 00:23:24,550
- I don't want to invite...
- Great.
417
00:23:24,675 --> 00:23:26,135
I thought your
superstitiousness
418
00:23:26,260 --> 00:23:27,428
had to do with your
folks being killed,
419
00:23:27,553 --> 00:23:30,180
but "you're stupid"
works just as well.
420
00:23:32,266 --> 00:23:34,393
Why is there
a ladder here?
421
00:23:34,893 --> 00:23:38,105
Whoops. Forgot that one.
422
00:23:38,230 --> 00:23:43,318
Scopes don't work as well as pillcams.
Give her one, find the tumor.
423
00:23:44,737 --> 00:23:47,322
Come with me, Tiny Taub.
424
00:24:04,673 --> 00:24:08,510
Sorry, I was late again. I've got
a long commute from the poorhouse.
425
00:24:08,635 --> 00:24:10,429
Knew it when I hired you.
426
00:24:10,554 --> 00:24:12,598
You'd eventually
miss the money,
427
00:24:12,723 --> 00:24:15,601
being the big shot
like your new CEO friend,
428
00:24:15,726 --> 00:24:18,437
if that nightclub
stamp on your hand is any indication.
429
00:24:18,979 --> 00:24:20,856
- Don't worry, I'm not quitting.
- I know.
430
00:24:20,981 --> 00:24:24,860
A guy who signs a non-compete instead of
just telling his wife that he cheated
431
00:24:24,985 --> 00:24:26,070
doesn't have
the guts to quit.
432
00:24:26,195 --> 00:24:27,905
Bad example.
I did tell her.
433
00:24:28,030 --> 00:24:30,407
From guilt,
not from courage.
434
00:24:30,699 --> 00:24:33,035
And bravely running
to Cuddy behind my back,
435
00:24:33,744 --> 00:24:36,538
and arriving heroically
late every day.
436
00:24:36,663 --> 00:24:38,874
Cowards make
lousy employees.
437
00:24:39,458 --> 00:24:41,335
Well, maybe you're a coward,
maybe you're quitting.
438
00:24:41,460 --> 00:24:43,420
Either way, I'm screwed.
439
00:24:52,429 --> 00:24:56,266
You'll note how Faster,
Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
440
00:24:56,391 --> 00:24:58,977
Has snuggled up
by coma guy over there.
441
00:24:59,603 --> 00:25:02,689
More importantly,
she did yesterday as well.
442
00:25:03,107 --> 00:25:05,109
And he's still breathing.
443
00:25:05,484 --> 00:25:06,777
We done?
444
00:25:21,083 --> 00:25:23,210
Thank you for
showing me this.
445
00:25:25,212 --> 00:25:28,507
But maybe she's just confused
in this new environment.
446
00:25:31,218 --> 00:25:34,179
In 1844, a preacher
in upstate New York
447
00:25:34,304 --> 00:25:38,308
added up some dates in the Bible
and predicted Jesus' return.
448
00:25:38,433 --> 00:25:41,145
His followers gave away
all their possessions
449
00:25:41,270 --> 00:25:42,855
and showed up in a field.
450
00:25:43,230 --> 00:25:44,940
Guess who didn't show.
451
00:25:45,065 --> 00:25:46,567
So the preacher said
that he miscalculated,
452
00:25:46,692 --> 00:25:48,152
and they went right
back the next month,
453
00:25:48,277 --> 00:25:49,778
but with more followers.
454
00:25:49,903 --> 00:25:52,156
Every time he was
irrefutably proved wrong,
455
00:25:52,281 --> 00:25:54,366
it redoubled
everyone's belief.
456
00:25:55,159 --> 00:25:57,536
I know I sound
just like them.
457
00:25:58,537 --> 00:26:01,206
But I also know
you're wrong.
458
00:26:03,041 --> 00:26:05,836
Something terrible
is gonna happen to me.
459
00:26:18,432 --> 00:26:20,851
You trying to prove
to her she's not dying?
460
00:26:20,976 --> 00:26:23,729
That would be dumb,
as she might be dying.
461
00:26:23,854 --> 00:26:25,063
This woman lost her kid.
462
00:26:25,189 --> 00:26:27,608
Why are you attacking beliefs that give
her a little bit of comfort?
463
00:26:27,733 --> 00:26:30,027
I don't care if her superstitions
make her feel better.
464
00:26:30,152 --> 00:26:32,654
- I just want her to think more clearly.
- Oh.
465
00:26:32,779 --> 00:26:34,156
Maybe that can make her
as happy as you are.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
467
00:26:38,952 --> 00:26:40,078
Where are we going?
468
00:26:40,204 --> 00:26:41,663

Stop it, Dr. Wilson.
It's just not cute anymore.
471
00:26:50,339 --> 00:26:52,382
You already experimented
on the coma guy.
472
00:26:52,507 --> 00:26:54,968
- Haven't you proved your point?
- Not to the patient,
473
00:26:55,093 --> 00:26:56,511
and not to the
millions of idiots
474
00:26:56,637 --> 00:26:59,056
who drooled over that news item
about the magic cat.
475
00:26:59,181 --> 00:27:00,641
Why are you so
obsessed with this?
476
00:27:00,766 --> 00:27:03,018
Can't you just call
her an idiot and leave everyone alone?

00:27:03,143 --> 00:27:05,938
Hey, look, kids,
therapy cat.
478
00:27:06,063 --> 00:27:09,733
You're a liar. Therapy animals
are dogs, not cats.

you give a crap

Raised edges are
actually necessary,

to the appendix.

00:28:22,264 --> 00:28:26,143
Skin cancer could have metastasized
to the intestines.
508
00:28:26,268 --> 00:28:27,436
Cool.
509
00:28:28,186 --> 00:28:29,896
Check for melanomas.

00:28:48,206 --> 00:28:53,211

What?

00:29:09,770 --> 00:29:10,604
KUTNER: It's not cancer.
515
00:29:10,729 --> 00:29:12,105
We found spider veins
on her back.
516
00:29:12,230 --> 00:29:13,732
They weren't there
when she came in.
517
00:29:13,857 --> 00:29:15,859
Spider veins means Cushing's.
518
00:29:15,984 --> 00:29:19,363
Could cause an abdominal
disturbance, brown urine.
519
00:29:19,488 --> 00:29:21,239

It's uncommon, but...
523
00:29:28,789 --> 00:29:30,165
Wait a second.
524
00:29:30,415 --> 00:29:33,835
You didn't wake me up to tell me
a symptom that's not killing her.
525
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,712
What else is going on?
526
00:29:35,837 --> 00:29:37,089
I think she's dying.
527
00:29:37,589 --> 00:29:39,299
I just told you,
it's Cushing's. We treat...
528
00:29:39,424 --> 00:29:43,261
I don't mean because
of the spider veins. Mr. Limpert died.
529
00:29:43,387 --> 00:29:44,888
If that's my
high school gym teacher...
530
00:29:45,013 --> 00:29:46,598
It's your coma patient.
531
00:29:46,723 --> 00:29:50,018
He was stable for a year-and-a-half,
and he just died.
532
00:29:50,143 --> 00:29:52,104
The cat was right, House.
533
00:29:56,608 --> 00:29:58,944
Here, puss, puss,
puss, puss, puss.
534
00:29:59,069 --> 00:30:02,280
Say "puss" one more time. It's the
sixth "puss" that really does it.
535
00:30:02,406 --> 00:30:05,575
You're right. Sulking
will solve everything.
536
00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:08,412
That cat sat on my lap,
and that cat knows something.
537
00:30:08,537 --> 00:30:11,164
- You believe it now?
- Yesterday, it was all a coincidence.
538
00:30:11,289 --> 00:30:14,459
Yesterday, it was, till I
unintentionally proved it wasn't.
539
00:30:14,584 --> 00:30:17,629
Patient must have Cushing's. We have
to figure out whether it's based in...
540
00:30:17,754 --> 00:30:20,882
A cat's nose is powerful, could smell
liver or kidney failure.
541
00:30:21,007 --> 00:30:23,802
Exactly. Except that if you'd glanced
at the nursing home files
542
00:30:23,927 --> 00:30:24,886
I had faxed over
this morning,
543
00:30:25,011 --> 00:30:27,514
you'd know that most of the patients'
livers and kidneys were fine.
544
00:30:27,639 --> 00:30:29,307
- What else?
- The MRls aren't telling us
545
00:30:29,433 --> 00:30:31,351
if the Cushing's is in
her adrenals or her brain.
546
00:30:31,476 --> 00:30:32,769
So check her ACTH.
547
00:30:32,894 --> 00:30:34,396
The cat's vision
is at the blue end of the spectrum.
548
00:30:34,521 --> 00:30:37,274
ACTH is 11.7.
It's too close to tell.
549
00:30:37,399 --> 00:30:39,651
And we can't treat the wrong organ,
'cause that won't solve anything.
550
00:30:40,026 --> 00:30:41,736
She could have
a cortisol storm, could kill her.
551
00:30:41,862 --> 00:30:44,656
Well, maybe, as the senior fellow,
you could have made sure
552
00:30:44,865 --> 00:30:47,409
that my doors were closed so that I
could be concentrating on the cat
553
00:30:47,534 --> 00:30:49,035
instead of looking
for the cat.

555
00:30:51,663 --> 00:30:53,081

559
00:31:05,886 --> 00:31:10,015
Sounds like he said,
"Do you like cranberry juice?"
560
00:31:10,599 --> 00:31:11,641
Crap.
561
00:31:11,766 --> 00:31:15,520
Cheaper than fake blood.
And more cran-tastic.

like that again.

and this woman could be dying.
564
00:31:20,567 --> 00:31:23,278
So have Chase do
a venous sampling in her brain.
565
00:31:23,403 --> 00:31:25,030
If he finds something,
it's there,
566
00:31:25,155 --> 00:31:28,033
if he finds nothing,
it's the adrenals.
567
00:31:31,953 --> 00:31:33,955
I'm not who
I used to be.

00:31:35,248 --> 00:31:38,627

Jeez, Chris,
you didn't think...

00:31:47,302 --> 00:31:50,430
I didn't mean to imply
that I could hire you right now.
573
00:31:50,555 --> 00:31:52,390
You said you needed
guys like me.
574
00:31:52,516 --> 00:31:56,269
I know, but you
don't have an MBA,
575
00:31:56,394 --> 00:31:58,313
and I just hired
a Chief Medical Officer.
576
00:31:58,438 --> 00:32:00,982
Then let me invest in that laser
scalpel start-up.
577
00:32:01,107 --> 00:32:02,943
I got money saved,
not a ton, but...
578
00:32:03,068 --> 00:32:06,947
We put in a two-million-dollar minimum
for the first round of financing.
579
00:32:09,282 --> 00:32:10,325
Look,
580
00:32:11,368 --> 00:32:13,954
I guess I could take you on,
on a smaller number,
581
00:32:14,079 --> 00:32:15,622
but you have to understand
582
00:32:15,747 --> 00:32:17,207
it wouldn't be
some quick payoff.
583
00:32:17,332 --> 00:32:20,961
Yeah, I know. I know it's not gonna
change my life overnight.
584
00:32:21,086 --> 00:32:24,005
I just need to
start changing it.
585
00:32:26,633 --> 00:32:28,593
Okay, then.
Let's start.
586
00:32:32,222 --> 00:32:35,934
What exactly are you hoping to find
inside your dead coma guy?
587
00:32:36,059 --> 00:32:40,146
Catnip, chew toy... I don't know,
that's why I'm looking.
588
00:32:41,273 --> 00:32:44,067
Your patient had a cardiac arrest
during the venous sampling.
589
00:32:44,192 --> 00:32:46,820
We got her back, but
her heart's still tenuous.
590
00:32:46,945 --> 00:32:49,197
- That tell us anything?
- She's weak, possibly dying.
591
00:32:49,322 --> 00:32:51,032
So nothing.
592
00:32:51,157 --> 00:32:53,868
- What about the ACTH?
- Slightly elevated.
593
00:32:53,994 --> 00:32:56,121
It confirms the Cushing's
is in the brain. Go.
594
00:32:56,246 --> 00:32:58,331
Are you sure
that it's Cushing's?
595
00:32:58,456 --> 00:33:01,001
You'd expect central body obesity,
she's in good shape.
596
00:33:01,126 --> 00:33:03,837
If it had a normal presentation,
there wouldn't be a cat involved.
597
00:33:03,962 --> 00:33:05,046
So it's the brain,
598
00:33:05,171 --> 00:33:08,049
means the next question is whether
to remove her pituitary right now...
599
00:33:08,174 --> 00:33:11,970
That's not a question for me,
that's a question for the patient.
600
00:33:12,095 --> 00:33:14,055
Now present both sides,
let her decide.
601
00:33:14,180 --> 00:33:15,307
All right.
602
00:33:18,893 --> 00:33:20,895
I've got to stop
telling you my theories.
603
00:33:21,021 --> 00:33:22,606
You always just
try to prove me wrong.
604
00:33:22,731 --> 00:33:26,067
You mean the theory about Cuddy's ass
getting bigger at the full moon?
605
00:33:26,192 --> 00:33:28,069
I confirmed that one,
photo's on my blog.
606
00:33:28,194 --> 00:33:29,738
Normally, you'd be up
in the patient room,
607
00:33:29,863 --> 00:33:31,156
hectoring her
on what to do,
608
00:33:31,281 --> 00:33:33,825
instead you're up to your elbows
in some irrelevant dead guy,
609
00:33:33,950 --> 00:33:36,786
who may or may not be
connected to a magic cat,
610
00:33:36,911 --> 00:33:39,164
because you want to prove to me
that you don't care.
611
00:33:39,289 --> 00:33:42,959
Case is over. I'm exploring
a scientific mystery.
612
00:33:43,710 --> 00:33:45,170
I put up with
your obsessions,
613
00:33:45,295 --> 00:33:47,130
I even encourage them,
for one reason,
614
00:33:47,255 --> 00:33:51,718
they save lives. I don't know
what you're doing now.
615
00:33:59,309 --> 00:34:03,021
CHASE: Cushing's means your body is
overproducing a hormone called cortisol.
616
00:34:03,146 --> 00:34:06,441
The recommended course of action
is to suppress it with drugs.
617
00:34:06,566 --> 00:34:08,568
And that will cure it?
618
00:34:08,693 --> 00:34:11,446
Just treat it.
It could come back.
619
00:34:12,155 --> 00:34:14,032
The only permanent solution is
620
00:34:14,157 --> 00:34:16,826
to cut into your brain and remove
your pituitary gland,
621
00:34:16,951 --> 00:34:19,120
but surgery's dangerous.
622
00:34:19,245 --> 00:34:22,165
Your heart stopped
on the table once already.
623
00:34:23,124 --> 00:34:24,793
I want the surgery.
624
00:34:25,293 --> 00:34:28,713
This thing is gonna kill me
if I don't kill it first.
625
00:34:30,757 --> 00:34:32,425
Because of the cat?
626
00:34:34,094 --> 00:34:37,138
Do you wanna tell me
what an idiot I'm being?
627
00:34:37,263 --> 00:34:38,223
No.
628
00:34:39,849 --> 00:34:43,687
I really believe that there are things
that science can't understand,
629
00:34:43,812 --> 00:34:49,150
that there is a role for faith and
prayer, but it's in the waiting room,
630
00:34:50,193 --> 00:34:51,403
not the OR.

632
00:34:55,740 --> 00:34:57,909
There's a reason I got sick.
633
00:34:58,702 --> 00:35:02,288
There's a reason for all the bad things
that have happened to me.
634
00:35:02,414 --> 00:35:07,043
I don't know what that reason is,
but I know that if there isn't one,
635
00:35:07,711 --> 00:35:10,630
if there's no greater
purpose in the world,
636
00:35:12,132 --> 00:35:14,676
then it's not a world
I wanna live in.
637
00:35:17,053 --> 00:35:19,389
I'll schedule
an operating room.
638
00:35:40,577 --> 00:35:41,911
You're early.
639
00:35:43,204 --> 00:35:45,874
I'm not staying long.
I'm quitting.
640
00:35:49,502 --> 00:35:51,421
- You got a new job?
- No.
641
00:35:52,422 --> 00:35:53,965
Well, then
you're not quitting.
642
00:35:54,090 --> 00:35:56,384
I'll see you
back here tomorrow.
643
00:35:56,968 --> 00:35:59,262
You're not accepting
my resignation?
644
00:35:59,387 --> 00:36:00,930
Easier this way.
645
00:36:01,055 --> 00:36:03,558
It avoids the whole thing
where you panic, run back and grovel,
646
00:36:03,683 --> 00:36:06,436
and I punish you,
and then take you back.
647
00:36:09,481 --> 00:36:10,690
Bye.
648
00:36:14,277 --> 00:36:17,781
Bring donuts. Everyone loves
those bear claws.
649
00:36:56,361 --> 00:37:00,740
Here, puss, puss,
puss, puss, puss. Puss?

651
00:37:45,910 --> 00:37:47,036
Mr. Taub?
652
00:37:47,161 --> 00:37:49,372
I've been waiting 15 minutes.
Where's Neil?
653
00:37:49,497 --> 00:37:51,583
Neil doesn't
work here anymore.
654
00:37:51,958 --> 00:37:53,167
But he's the CEO.
655
00:37:53,293 --> 00:37:56,629
I'm sorry. I wish
I could help you. Sorry.
656
00:37:57,463 --> 00:38:00,633
This is crazy.
I'm investing with his company.
657
00:38:00,758 --> 00:38:02,844
He doesn't have a company.
658
00:38:02,969 --> 00:38:05,346
He worked here, but he
was a receptionist, a temp.
659
00:38:05,471 --> 00:38:07,307
- Where is he?
- He's in custody.
660
00:38:07,432 --> 00:38:09,684
I really am not
supposed to say anything else.
661
00:38:09,809 --> 00:38:11,561
I went to
high school with him.
662
00:38:11,686 --> 00:38:14,147
That's what everyone
else thought, too.
663
00:38:14,272 --> 00:38:17,108
I'm guessing you also
cured his ear problem?
664
00:38:18,526 --> 00:38:21,195
Did you give him
the money yet?
665
00:38:21,321 --> 00:38:22,697
No.
666
00:38:32,999 --> 00:38:34,459
I was right,
667
00:38:34,584 --> 00:38:37,420
and more satisfyingly,
you were wrong.
668
00:38:37,962 --> 00:38:39,631
It was coincidence.
669
00:38:39,756 --> 00:38:42,550
That cat was not
predicting deaths,
670
00:38:42,675 --> 00:38:43,843
it was just trying
to keep warm.
671
00:38:44,052 --> 00:38:46,596
Yes, dead people are
renowned for their warm glow.
672
00:38:46,721 --> 00:38:48,723
They are
if they're feverish,
673
00:38:48,848 --> 00:38:50,475
like three of
the patients were.
674
00:38:50,725 --> 00:38:53,978
Or if they are wasting away,
like the other eight.
675
00:38:54,103 --> 00:38:55,772
- Wasting doesn't...
- It does,
676
00:38:55,897 --> 00:38:59,275
if it means someone sticks
a heating blanket on you.
677
00:39:00,026 --> 00:39:01,653
(SIGHS)
678
00:39:01,778 --> 00:39:04,072
Congrats. Because of your
crazy obsession with this cat
679
00:39:04,197 --> 00:39:05,865
you've solved
a completely trivial mystery.
680
00:39:05,990 --> 00:39:08,326
Completely trivial?
681
00:39:08,451 --> 00:39:12,080
My God, it's clearly
only partially trivial.
682
00:39:12,747 --> 00:39:14,666
Debbie climbed
on Morgan, too,
683
00:39:14,791 --> 00:39:15,875
which means
she was overheated.
684
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,545
So what causes flushing,
mimics every Cushing's symptom
685
00:39:19,671 --> 00:39:21,881
except central
body obesity?
686
00:39:23,549 --> 00:39:24,717
Cancer.
687
00:39:24,842 --> 00:39:28,137
A corticotropin-producing
carcinoid tumor of the intestine.
688
00:39:28,262 --> 00:39:31,099
But your pillcam
didn't find anything.
689
00:39:31,224 --> 00:39:34,560
Means it must be somewhere
the pillcam couldn't go.
690
00:39:35,103 --> 00:39:36,729
The appendix.
691
00:39:36,854 --> 00:39:39,857
Congratulations.
You probably saved her life.
692
00:39:39,983 --> 00:39:42,819
You definitely
saved her needless surgery.
693
00:39:43,569 --> 00:39:44,946
Yes, I did.
694
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,408
What's the OR
extension number?
695
00:39:48,533 --> 00:39:49,659
Just curious.
696
00:39:59,794 --> 00:40:00,962
Thank you.
697
00:40:02,547 --> 00:40:06,467
I wouldn't come here for thanks,
that would be ungracious.
698
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,762
It's more about gloating.
699
00:40:10,471 --> 00:40:13,182
You were about to cut out
a piece of your brain
700
00:40:13,307 --> 00:40:15,977
just to chase some
crazy superstition.
701
00:40:17,061 --> 00:40:18,187
But I didn't.
702
00:40:18,312 --> 00:40:21,899
You didn't didn't
do anything. I stopped it.
703
00:40:23,151 --> 00:40:25,194
And what made you do that?
704
00:40:25,486 --> 00:40:28,823
Science. Logic. Reason.
Pick any three.
705
00:40:28,948 --> 00:40:33,578
A cat chooses that exact moment
to sit on your computer.
706
00:40:33,703 --> 00:40:36,122
Maybe that's science
and logic and reason,
707
00:40:36,247 --> 00:40:38,249
or maybe it's
something else.
708
00:40:41,836 --> 00:40:43,504
You're an idiot.
709
00:40:46,799 --> 00:40:49,719
I looked up the preacher
from New York State.
710
00:40:50,928 --> 00:40:53,181
His followers
never faded out.
711
00:40:53,306 --> 00:40:55,516
They became the
Seventh-Day Adventists.
712
00:40:55,641 --> 00:40:58,936
A major religion.
That man changed the course of history.
713
00:40:59,062 --> 00:41:02,690
Because his followers
were as deluded as he was.
714
00:41:05,860 --> 00:41:08,905
Maybe he just gave them
something to live for.
715
00:41:12,450 --> 00:41:13,951
Feel better.
716
00:41:19,957 --> 00:41:21,167
(SIGHS)
717
00:41:49,445 --> 00:41:50,863
Kutner!
718
00:41:58,454 --> 00:42:00,289
Cat pee on my chair?
719
00:42:00,414 --> 00:42:02,792
- Blood on my face?
- Fake blood.
720
00:42:07,797 --> 00:42:09,882
You pay for
the dry-cleaning.
721
00:42:17,014 --> 00:42:18,891
Why are you
still alive?
722
00:42:19,016 --> 00:42:20,017
I'm not sure.
723
00:42:20,143 --> 00:42:22,645
I guess he was impressed
you stood up to him.
724
00:42:22,770 --> 00:42:24,689
And got a cat
to pee on his chair.
725
00:42:24,814 --> 00:42:27,483
Yeah. A cat.
726
00:42:38,369 --> 00:42:40,288
- See you tomorrow.
- Yeah.
727
00:43:06,105 --> 00:43:07,106
