1
00:00:02,608 --> 00:00:05,611
TRINA: If you don't know how to
use a computer, we will teach you here.
2
00:00:05,736 --> 00:00:08,447
Most jobs require at least
basic word processing skills.
3
00:00:08,572 --> 00:00:11,158
We try to get you up to
50 words per minute.
4
00:00:11,283 --> 00:00:14,995
We also have a course in how to
talk to someone in an interview.
5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,748
Stuff like what
employers are looking for,
6
00:00:17,873 --> 00:00:19,333
how to turn
negatives into positives.
7
00:00:19,458 --> 00:00:21,585
We can also provide clothes
for the interview if you need them.
8
00:00:21,710 --> 00:00:24,504
People donate
shoes and suits all the time.
9
00:00:25,005 --> 00:00:28,300
What if I had
a history with drugs?
10
00:00:28,925 --> 00:00:30,636
That is nothing
to be ashamed of.
11
00:00:30,761 --> 00:00:32,763
Many of our clients
have struggled with addiction,
12
00:00:32,888 --> 00:00:35,891
and if you want to get clean,
we'll help you do that.
13
00:00:36,016 --> 00:00:37,643
And what if
I have a kid?
14
00:00:38,435 --> 00:00:39,645
No one to help you?
15
00:00:39,770 --> 00:00:44,816
If I need someone to watch her
while I'm in a class or on an interview,
16
00:00:44,941 --> 00:00:46,652
could you help with that?
17
00:00:46,777 --> 00:00:48,570
We do not provide
child care.
18
00:00:48,695 --> 00:00:50,656
Actually, it's something
that comes up often.
19
00:00:50,781 --> 00:00:52,699
I would love to
be able to do it.
20
00:00:52,824 --> 00:00:54,785
I just don't
have the resources.
21
00:00:54,910 --> 00:00:57,329
But it's definitely
on the wish list.
22
00:00:58,163 --> 00:01:02,876
Okay.
Okay, uh, thank you. I'll be back.
23
00:01:03,001 --> 00:01:04,461
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
I have to take this.
24
00:01:04,586 --> 00:01:06,880
Yes, please come back.
We'll get you started.
25
00:01:07,005 --> 00:01:09,925
It was nice to meet you,
Benjamin.
26
00:01:10,050 --> 00:01:11,802
Hey, Oscar.
27
00:01:12,636 --> 00:01:15,055
Ugh! That is too bad.
28
00:01:15,180 --> 00:01:17,099
Did they tell you why?
29
00:01:24,481 --> 00:01:26,149
Yeah.
30
00:01:26,274 --> 00:01:27,901
Mmm-hmm.
31
00:01:28,026 --> 00:01:31,697
Well, look, you know what?
Sometimes you just don't get the job.
32
00:01:31,822 --> 00:01:34,241
Oscar, I've got to
call you back.
33
00:01:35,992 --> 00:01:37,494
Uh...
34
00:01:38,829 --> 00:01:40,414
Uh, uh...
35
00:01:44,042 --> 00:01:46,753
Benjamin!
Benjamin, wait.
36
00:01:52,134 --> 00:01:53,927
Oh, my God.
37
00:02:04,312 --> 00:02:06,523
Somebody call
an ambulance!
38
00:02:20,454 --> 00:02:21,538
(BUZZING)
39
00:02:21,663 --> 00:02:23,039
(CLICKING)
40
00:02:28,962 --> 00:02:30,297
(BUZZING)
41
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,379
Why am I watching
you cut your hair?
42
00:03:11,505 --> 00:03:14,925
If I do it at home,
I'm the one who has to clean it up.
43
00:03:15,050 --> 00:03:18,970
I was referring less to where
it's happening and more to why.
44
00:03:19,095 --> 00:03:20,931
New life, new look.
45
00:03:22,808 --> 00:03:25,811
Does that mean you
like your new life?
46
00:03:25,936 --> 00:03:27,896
If you're asking
if your job is safe,
47
00:03:28,021 --> 00:03:30,774
that depends on what you have to say
about the file you're holding.
48
00:03:30,899 --> 00:03:33,318
It doesn't seem
like much of a case.
49
00:03:33,443 --> 00:03:35,278
Although,
I'm sure I'm wrong.
50
00:03:35,403 --> 00:03:37,447
You are.
Tell me why.
51
00:03:37,572 --> 00:03:39,866
Guy collapsed after
being on his feet for hours
52
00:03:39,991 --> 00:03:43,620
on a hot day without breakfast,
so that's really weird.
53
00:03:43,745 --> 00:03:48,208
ER found nothing wrong,
then I decided I should test his wallet.
54
00:03:48,333 --> 00:03:50,377
He's rich? That's why
we're taking the case?
55
00:03:50,502 --> 00:03:51,837
No, we're taking
the case because
56
00:03:51,962 --> 00:03:53,755
no one knows
what's wrong with him.
57
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,590
And he's rich.
58
00:03:58,844 --> 00:04:00,178
Dr. Adams.
59
00:04:01,012 --> 00:04:02,848
Give her the file.
60
00:04:02,973 --> 00:04:04,641
This is my only copy.
61
00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:08,019
My MO depends upon
the use of a team.
62
00:04:08,144 --> 00:04:11,314
Definitionally, that involves
more than one person,
63
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:12,816
so I really have
no choice.
64
00:04:12,941 --> 00:04:15,068
- Give her the file.
- You can't afford a team.
65
00:04:15,193 --> 00:04:16,903
Adams is free.
66
00:04:17,028 --> 00:04:20,282
And I'm referring both to
her availability and her price tag.
67
00:04:21,283 --> 00:04:24,828
New girl meet newer girl,
and vice versa.
68
00:04:25,537 --> 00:04:27,706
You said we were
meeting for coffee.
69
00:04:27,831 --> 00:04:30,000
Well, when someone
asks if you want coffee,
70
00:04:30,125 --> 00:04:31,835
they obviously
don't just mean coffee.
71
00:04:32,627 --> 00:04:35,714
Wait. Did you think
I was referring to sex?
72
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,883
Would you shut the blinds
on your way out?
73
00:04:38,008 --> 00:04:40,135
I thought you were
referring to talking.
74
00:04:40,260 --> 00:04:41,595
Talking about medicine.
75
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,973
Specifically, as it refers to the guy
whose name is on the file
76
00:04:45,098 --> 00:04:46,975
she still hasn't
handed you.
77
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:48,643
I'm not working, House.
78
00:04:48,768 --> 00:04:51,146
I'm in the process
of looking for a paying job.
79
00:04:51,271 --> 00:04:53,356
And in the meantime,
there's no way a do-gooder like you
80
00:04:53,481 --> 00:04:55,233
isn't volunteering
all over town,
81
00:04:55,358 --> 00:04:57,736
ladling kittens,
spaying soup.
82
00:04:57,861 --> 00:05:00,113
There's a free clinic
in Trenton.
83
00:05:00,238 --> 00:05:02,073
Well, think of this
as today's free clinic.
84
00:05:02,198 --> 00:05:04,701
Only with fewer
bums with herpes.
85
00:05:04,826 --> 00:05:06,703
I don't think
we actually have much of a case.
86
00:05:06,828 --> 00:05:09,039
I think it's
just dehydration.
87
00:05:11,082 --> 00:05:12,709
What happened
the last time another doctor
88
00:05:12,834 --> 00:05:14,419
told you I was
wrong about a case?
89
00:05:14,544 --> 00:05:16,379
I lost my job.
90
00:05:16,504 --> 00:05:17,923
But you saved a life.
91
00:05:21,468 --> 00:05:24,804
Is an ultrasound really necessary?
I'm feeling much better now.
92
00:05:24,930 --> 00:05:26,890
A sudden collapse
at your age can indicate
93
00:05:27,015 --> 00:05:28,600
a deterioration in
the heart muscle,
94
00:05:28,725 --> 00:05:30,894
a pretty serious
condition.
95
00:05:31,019 --> 00:05:33,396
It could also
just be dehydration.
96
00:05:33,521 --> 00:05:36,149
Next time, you could probably
drop the undercover act.
97
00:05:36,274 --> 00:05:37,275
(CHUCKLES)
98
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,404
I walk in in a suit, and they're gonna
put their best foot forward.
99
00:05:41,529 --> 00:05:43,531
Also I don't own a suit.
100
00:05:44,324 --> 00:05:46,743
You give away millions,
and you don't own a suit?
101
00:05:46,868 --> 00:05:48,495
I gave those away too.
102
00:05:49,162 --> 00:05:51,081
One day I was writing
a check to my landscaper,
103
00:05:51,206 --> 00:05:52,624
and it suddenly hit me,
(LAUGHS)
104
00:05:52,749 --> 00:05:56,962
$6,000 to take out plants
and put in different plants
105
00:05:57,087 --> 00:05:59,214
so I can look at them.
106
00:05:59,339 --> 00:06:01,341
Shouldn't I use that money
to do something important?
107
00:06:01,466 --> 00:06:04,803
And by money,
you mean all your money.
108
00:06:04,928 --> 00:06:06,262
I started with
$10 million,
109
00:06:06,388 --> 00:06:10,809
and then I couldn't think of a reason
not to give 20 or 40.
110
00:06:12,727 --> 00:06:14,646
I figure I can live
on $25,000 a year.
111
00:06:15,146 --> 00:06:19,651
One room apartment, bus pass,
thrift stores, bare necessities.
112
00:06:19,776 --> 00:06:22,153
I still have
my software company.
113
00:06:22,278 --> 00:06:25,490
And when I make more,
I'll give that away too.
114
00:06:25,615 --> 00:06:27,367
- He's nuts.
- He's generous.
115
00:06:27,951 --> 00:06:30,370
There's a neurological issue.
He's getting rid of everything.
116
00:06:30,495 --> 00:06:33,248
His echocardiogram
was negative for cardiomyopathy.
117
00:06:33,373 --> 00:06:35,458
Head CT showed no signs
of stroke or hemorrhage.
118
00:06:35,583 --> 00:06:37,043
He has one pair of pants!
119
00:06:37,168 --> 00:06:38,795
Most people with
his kind of money
120
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,881
are commissioning oil paintings
of their Yorkshire terrier.
121
00:06:42,007 --> 00:06:45,301
Benjamin is sacrificing
his own comfort to help others.
122
00:06:45,427 --> 00:06:48,471
That's 'cause helping others
is his Yorkie oil painting.
123
00:06:48,596 --> 00:06:50,890
That's good, not sick.
124
00:06:51,016 --> 00:06:52,642
That's naive and sick.
125
00:06:52,767 --> 00:06:55,020
You really want to improve things,
you do it through policy.
126
00:06:55,145 --> 00:06:57,689
This guy empties his pockets,
what really changes?
127
00:06:57,814 --> 00:07:00,900
That's right. All those babies
with AIDS, they're just using us.
128
00:07:01,317 --> 00:07:03,778
My parents had $800 between them
when they got here.
129
00:07:03,903 --> 00:07:06,531
They scraped and borrowed
so we could go to good schools.
130
00:07:06,656 --> 00:07:10,118
And I worked my ass off.
No one gave me a handout.
131
00:07:10,243 --> 00:07:11,661
It makes me work harder.
132
00:07:12,579 --> 00:07:14,164
Rebuttal.
133
00:07:14,289 --> 00:07:16,374
What's your evil plan?
134
00:07:16,499 --> 00:07:17,917
I object to your cynicism.
135
00:07:18,043 --> 00:07:20,045
It's been earned.
That's what I object to.
136
00:07:20,170 --> 00:07:22,464
New Dean of Medicine
has an ethical obligation to come in
137
00:07:22,589 --> 00:07:24,924
with a completely open mind
about all employees,
138
00:07:25,050 --> 00:07:28,178
thus letting me blithely run roughshod
for at least four weeks.
139
00:07:28,303 --> 00:07:30,680
My theory is that you're running
a battery of tests
140
00:07:30,805 --> 00:07:32,474
to convince him that
you've saved his life,
141
00:07:32,599 --> 00:07:34,559
and then con him into funding you
to hire back your team.
142
00:07:34,684 --> 00:07:36,311
- What?
- Your old team?
143
00:07:37,103 --> 00:07:39,064
- What?
- This is your new reality.
144
00:07:39,189 --> 00:07:41,357
You've got your office,
you've got neighbors,
145
00:07:41,483 --> 00:07:43,109
you've got one employee,
one volunteer
146
00:07:43,234 --> 00:07:46,071
until she finds actual paid work
or gets sick of you.
147
00:07:46,196 --> 00:07:49,032
I talked to Chase and Taub.
They're willing to come back.
148
00:07:49,741 --> 00:07:51,326
What about Thirteen?
149
00:07:51,451 --> 00:07:52,994
Not a good choice.
150
00:07:53,119 --> 00:07:56,790
She's not a long-term,
because she has no long-term.
151
00:07:56,915 --> 00:07:58,416
Not taking your calls?
152
00:07:59,417 --> 00:08:00,794
She will.
153
00:08:00,919 --> 00:08:02,295
Discharge the patient.
154
00:08:02,420 --> 00:08:05,882
Unexplained loss of consciousness
could be cardiomyopathy,
155
00:08:06,007 --> 00:08:08,093
global anoxia,
subarachnoid hemorrhage...
156
00:08:08,218 --> 00:08:10,845
Dehydration.
He was given fluids, and he got better.
157
00:08:10,970 --> 00:08:12,430
And I'm sure your tests
have come up negative,
158
00:08:12,555 --> 00:08:14,432
or you'd have
shut me up already.
159
00:08:14,557 --> 00:08:16,017
Which means he goes home.
160
00:08:18,311 --> 00:08:20,313
CHI:
There is a symptom.
161
00:08:20,814 --> 00:08:22,482
Extreme altruism.
162
00:08:26,736 --> 00:08:28,530
You've got
two choices, House.
163
00:08:28,655 --> 00:08:30,698
You can recognize
that your patient is just
164
00:08:30,824 --> 00:08:33,034
a very nice, healthy guy
and send him home.
165
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:35,620
Or you can consider
altruism a symptom,
166
00:08:35,745 --> 00:08:38,790
in which case,
you cannot take his money.
167
00:08:43,461 --> 00:08:45,421
Send him home.
168
00:08:45,547 --> 00:08:49,342
And check with admitting
for the net worth of all new patients.
169
00:08:55,056 --> 00:08:56,724
(WOMAN TALKING ON PA)
170
00:09:00,895 --> 00:09:03,356
THIRTEEN:
I'm not coming back, House.
171
00:09:06,192 --> 00:09:08,486
Technically,
you're back right now.
172
00:09:10,363 --> 00:09:12,824
I need you to
stop calling me.
173
00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:14,868
The first 17 messages
were cute, but...
174
00:09:14,993 --> 00:09:17,287
I'm putting
the band back together.
175
00:09:17,412 --> 00:09:19,330
Interesting that you've never
showed up at my place,
176
00:09:19,455 --> 00:09:21,124
what with your
love of annoying me
177
00:09:21,249 --> 00:09:24,043
and your inability to
take no for an answer.
178
00:09:24,169 --> 00:09:26,004
I'm guessing ankle monitor.
179
00:09:29,757 --> 00:09:33,303
Guilty as charged.
Literally.
180
00:09:34,846 --> 00:09:37,348
I'm not a doctor
any more, House.
181
00:09:37,473 --> 00:09:40,476
The job went away
but not the profession.
182
00:09:41,352 --> 00:09:43,646
You look healthy,
so that's not it.
183
00:09:46,191 --> 00:09:48,484
You met a boy or a girl,
184
00:09:49,527 --> 00:09:51,404
fallen in love,
wanna be happy.
185
00:09:51,863 --> 00:09:55,533
You've decided to enjoy
what time you have left.
186
00:09:57,368 --> 00:09:59,537
You're going to Thailand.
187
00:10:01,289 --> 00:10:04,334
Girl. And Mykonos.
188
00:10:04,626 --> 00:10:05,710
(YAWNING)
189
00:10:05,835 --> 00:10:07,795
Turns out I like boring.
190
00:10:07,921 --> 00:10:09,964
No, you want to
like boring.
191
00:10:10,089 --> 00:10:11,341
But if you
actually liked boring,
192
00:10:11,466 --> 00:10:13,843
you would have figured that out
in fifth grade when you were bored.
193
00:10:13,968 --> 00:10:16,304
Please, stop calling me.
194
00:10:19,724 --> 00:10:21,309
No.
195
00:10:22,602 --> 00:10:25,355
You showed up to tell me
that you don't want to hear from me.
196
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,857
That's a mixed signal.
197
00:10:27,982 --> 00:10:31,152
And I'm gonna choose to listen
to your actions rather than your words,
198
00:10:31,277 --> 00:10:33,321
'cause they're more honest.
199
00:10:39,452 --> 00:10:41,120
BENJAMIN:
I'm a little confused.
200
00:10:41,246 --> 00:10:43,539
The test is designed to determine
if your nerves are...
201
00:10:43,665 --> 00:10:46,376
No, I meant you're running a test
and discharging me?
202
00:10:46,501 --> 00:10:48,920
Was I dehydrated or not?
203
00:10:49,045 --> 00:10:51,923
I think so. But out of
an abundance of caution,
204
00:10:52,048 --> 00:10:55,134
my colleague has taken it upon herself
to do one more test.
205
00:10:55,260 --> 00:10:56,719
All right.
206
00:10:59,222 --> 00:11:00,765
You scare me a little.
207
00:11:02,392 --> 00:11:03,518
(LAUGHS)
208
00:11:03,643 --> 00:11:05,436
Why?
209
00:11:05,561 --> 00:11:08,439
I've been considering applying
to Doctors Without Borders,
210
00:11:08,564 --> 00:11:10,066
going overseas awhile,
211
00:11:10,191 --> 00:11:13,653
and that seems like a huge sacrifice,
but you...
212
00:11:13,778 --> 00:11:17,115
You don't scare her.
You make her feel guilty.
213
00:11:18,574 --> 00:11:21,035
You like your life
the way it is.
214
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,079
Most people give the minimum
they have to give,
215
00:11:23,204 --> 00:11:24,497
so they can enjoy
what they have left.
216
00:11:24,622 --> 00:11:28,543
I guess my minimum is
just higher than most.
217
00:11:28,668 --> 00:11:31,546
Complete recruitment
and interference pattern.
218
00:11:31,671 --> 00:11:33,298
His leg muscles are fine.
219
00:11:33,423 --> 00:11:35,425
I feel, uh, funny.
220
00:11:35,550 --> 00:11:37,427
Where?
My chest.
221
00:11:37,552 --> 00:11:40,388
CHI: You're tachycardic.
Your heart's beating too fast.
222
00:11:40,513 --> 00:11:42,390
(MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY)
Unbelievable.
223
00:11:45,310 --> 00:11:46,728
(GASPING)
224
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,650
Patient got
tachycardic to 185.
225
00:11:52,775 --> 00:11:55,445
We pushed
18 milligrams adenosine.
226
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:57,697
There's definitely
something wrong with him.
227
00:11:57,822 --> 00:12:00,908
Which is awesome.
Now, there's something to cure,
228
00:12:01,034 --> 00:12:02,452
which means
there's something to be
229
00:12:02,577 --> 00:12:05,455
disproportionately
financially grateful for.
230
00:12:05,580 --> 00:12:07,623
Morning.
Got you coffee.
231
00:12:07,749 --> 00:12:08,958
Thanks.
232
00:12:09,083 --> 00:12:11,169
Arrhythmia could easily
have caused the collapse
233
00:12:11,294 --> 00:12:15,423
that landed
Father Teresa here in the first place.
234
00:12:15,548 --> 00:12:17,467
Oh, it's fine.
Keep it.
235
00:12:17,592 --> 00:12:19,260
We looked at
his heart yesterday.
236
00:12:19,385 --> 00:12:21,054
Didn't see any
structural abnormalities.
237
00:12:21,179 --> 00:12:22,764
I'm thinking
occult long QT syndrome?
238
00:12:22,889 --> 00:12:23,931
What about Whipple's?
239
00:12:24,057 --> 00:12:26,601
If it was Whipple's, there'd be
some kind of neurological involvement.
240
00:12:26,726 --> 00:12:28,978
You don't think
defying human nature is neurological?
241
00:12:29,103 --> 00:12:30,938
Racing heart,
medical condition.
242
00:12:31,064 --> 00:12:32,857
Bleeding heart,
stupid condition.
243
00:12:32,982 --> 00:12:34,692
Are you saying that
because you believe it,
244
00:12:34,817 --> 00:12:37,320
or because it's
in your financial best interests
245
00:12:37,445 --> 00:12:39,906
to think his generosity
isn't just temporary?
246
00:12:40,031 --> 00:12:43,659
I'm told that
some people are just nice.
247
00:12:43,785 --> 00:12:45,161
I'm trying to
embrace that wisdom.
248
00:12:45,286 --> 00:12:48,331
Benjamin's been taking
allergy medication the last few weeks.
249
00:12:48,456 --> 00:12:50,625
Long QT syndrome
can be medication-induced.
250
00:12:51,084 --> 00:12:53,336
Flush him with saline.
Get rid of the antihistamines.
251
00:12:53,461 --> 00:12:55,338
Then do an EKG.
252
00:12:55,463 --> 00:12:57,882
No, wait.
I'll do the flushing.
253
00:12:58,841 --> 00:13:00,468
And take
the damn two dollars.
254
00:13:00,593 --> 00:13:02,428
She hasn't even
sipped the coffee.
255
00:13:05,598 --> 00:13:09,018
I just got SO angry
you know? '?
256
00:13:09,143 --> 00:13:11,562
So I made
a terrible mistake,
257
00:13:11,687 --> 00:13:14,690
and now, I'm trying
to start my life over.
258
00:13:14,816 --> 00:13:18,111
To help people
the way I always wanted.
259
00:13:18,236 --> 00:13:22,740
But my department got defunded,
and it's my fault.
260
00:13:24,242 --> 00:13:27,370
I just can't stand to think of
all those patients going untreated
261
00:13:27,495 --> 00:13:30,706
because I don't have the resources
to do my best work.
262
00:13:32,583 --> 00:13:34,544
How about
I help you out?
263
00:13:34,669 --> 00:13:36,879
How do you mean?
264
00:13:37,964 --> 00:13:40,633
I'll give a million dollars
as an endowment to the hospital
265
00:13:40,758 --> 00:13:42,802
earmarked for Diagnostics.
266
00:13:43,678 --> 00:13:44,804
Wow.
267
00:13:46,722 --> 00:13:51,769
I'm an opportunistic ex-con who
just gave you a two-minute sob story
268
00:13:51,894 --> 00:13:53,771
as step three
in my master plan,
269
00:13:53,896 --> 00:13:57,316
and you've offered me
a million dollars.
270
00:13:57,442 --> 00:13:58,734
Which was step 17.
271
00:14:00,862 --> 00:14:02,488
Is that bad?
272
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,659
Ethics are not
my strong suit.
273
00:14:09,245 --> 00:14:10,788
Hypothetical.
274
00:14:10,913 --> 00:14:15,668
If I'm offered oral sex
from a sexaholic, do I have to decline?
275
00:14:15,793 --> 00:14:19,505
Don't answer yet.
Saying "no" will cause both of us pain.
276
00:14:19,630 --> 00:14:21,841
Saying "yes" will
cause both of us pleasure.
277
00:14:21,966 --> 00:14:23,718
You can't take sex
from a sexaholic,
278
00:14:23,843 --> 00:14:25,845
you can't give
booze to an alcoholic,
279
00:14:25,970 --> 00:14:27,597
and you can't take
this guy's money.
280
00:14:27,722 --> 00:14:30,516
I could be wrong about the symptom.
I'm wrong all the time.
281
00:14:30,641 --> 00:14:34,479
Taking money from a sick person
is ethically suspect at best.
282
00:14:34,604 --> 00:14:37,607
What is this? Canada? All we do
is take money from sick people.
283
00:14:37,732 --> 00:14:38,774
We work for it.
284
00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:40,610
I'm working.
285
00:14:40,735 --> 00:14:42,069
How much?
286
00:14:42,778 --> 00:14:44,197
$20.
287
00:14:44,739 --> 00:14:47,200
Well, what if it was?
It's the same principle.
288
00:14:47,533 --> 00:14:49,452
$20, a million,
what's the difference?
289
00:14:50,578 --> 00:14:53,789
Actually, the difference
is pretty much a million dollars.
290
00:14:53,915 --> 00:14:55,374
He came up
with the figure, not me.
291

(PAGER BEEPING)
292
00:14:57,001 --> 00:15:01,422
Crap. Got a patient
with end-stage renal disease.
293
00:15:01,547 --> 00:15:03,216
Her heart can't
support dialysis.
294
00:15:03,341 --> 00:15:05,384
She needs a transplant but...
295
00:15:05,510 --> 00:15:08,387
You tuned out as soon as it stopped
being about you, didn't you?
296
00:15:08,513 --> 00:15:09,931
- What?
- I got to go.
297
00:15:10,056 --> 00:15:13,017
It's all moot.
The patient probably has long QT.
298
00:15:13,142 --> 00:15:16,062
He's probably just a really,
really decent person.
299
00:15:16,187 --> 00:15:17,438
They exist, right?

You can't take
the money, House.
301
00:15:20,191 --> 00:15:22,568
Is long QT bad?
302
00:15:23,444 --> 00:15:26,614
It's a tough thing
to control.
303
00:15:26,739 --> 00:15:29,325
Is there someone
you want me to call?
304
00:15:30,243 --> 00:15:32,495
There's someone
I would like to call.
305
00:15:32,620 --> 00:15:35,915
She's the same person
who won't take my calls.
306

My wife.
307
00:15:40,044 --> 00:15:42,338
When I started
giving away the money,
308
00:15:42,463 --> 00:15:44,715
I hoped she'd want
to do it with me.
309
00:15:46,133 --> 00:15:47,635
She didn't.
310
00:15:50,012 --> 00:15:52,014
I miss them.

I have two little boys.
312
00:15:57,853 --> 00:16:00,690
Having a family doesn't exempt me
from social responsibility.
313
00:16:00,815 --> 00:16:02,858
But family comes first.
314
00:16:02,984 --> 00:16:04,277
But should it?
315
00:16:04,402 --> 00:16:07,446
I know that sounds weird.
316
00:16:07,572 --> 00:16:08,781
But if someone is
related to you,
317
00:16:08,906 --> 00:16:10,992
does that empirically
make them more special,

00:16:11,117 --> 00:16:12,868
more deserving
than anyone else?

00:16:13,244 --> 00:16:15,496
Yes, it gives you
a responsibility.

My boys have a roof over their heads.
They're not starving.
321

I pay court-ordered
child support.
322
00:16:24,922 --> 00:16:27,883
And frankly,
it's more than they need.

I love them
more than anything.

I can't justify buying video games
and private schools
325
00:16:35,766 --> 00:16:38,978
when other people's
children are starving.
326
00:16:40,313 --> 00:16:42,648
I hope one day
they'll understand that.
327

Your hands are trembling.

00:16:46,235 --> 00:16:47,695
Is it the electrodes?

00:16:47,820 --> 00:16:49,030
Are you in pain?
330
00:16:49,155 --> 00:16:51,866
No. What's happening?

00:16:51,991 --> 00:16:54,619
I'm not sure,
but it's not what we thought it was.
332
00:16:58,039 --> 00:17:02,835
So arrhythmia,
fainting, muscle tremors.
333
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,713
Plus unfortunately,
mental changes.
334
00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:12,803
I still don't think
it's neurological.

He lost his wife and kids, 'cause he
couldn't stop giving money away.
337
00:17:17,058 --> 00:17:21,228
He lost his wife, because she couldn't
accept not being filthy rich.
338
00:17:21,354 --> 00:17:22,980
She's not drinking
the coffee either.
339
00:17:23,105 --> 00:17:27,610
Drink it, don't drink it. The point is
I gave it to you, so we're even.
340
00:17:29,070 --> 00:17:33,616
Even? It was a gift, an insignificant
token. There was nothing owed.
341
00:17:33,741 --> 00:17:35,201
That was the whole point.
342
00:17:35,326 --> 00:17:36,952
Why?
343
00:17:37,078 --> 00:17:38,162
"Why?"
344
00:17:38,287 --> 00:17:39,914
Yeah. Why?
345
00:17:40,331 --> 00:17:41,832
She's the crazy one.
346
00:17:42,124 --> 00:17:46,045
So a guy gives everything away
to strangers, sane.
347
00:17:46,170 --> 00:17:49,715
Girl who doesn't want anything
from strangers, crazy?
348
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:50,966
You're not a stranger.
349
00:17:51,092 --> 00:17:53,052
And your perverse
view of the world is
350
00:17:53,177 --> 00:17:55,137
making you force
a neurological component
351
00:17:55,262 --> 00:17:56,847
onto an obviously
cardiological...
352
00:17:56,972 --> 00:17:58,933
Your parents
didn't love you enough,
353
00:17:59,058 --> 00:18:00,935
so you need to
prove your superiority.
354
00:18:01,060 --> 00:18:04,980
Or they loved you too much,
so you need to prove your humility.
355
00:18:05,106 --> 00:18:08,693
Or it's just rich guilt.
I'm betting on the last one.
356
00:18:11,278 --> 00:18:13,989
There's a whole list of drugs
that could have caused his symptoms.
357
00:18:14,115 --> 00:18:15,741
I doubt the guy would
spend money on drugs
358
00:18:15,866 --> 00:18:17,827
when there are orphans out there
without cable.
359
00:18:17,952 --> 00:18:20,371
Anyway, he'd be getting better
right now, not worse.
360
00:18:20,496 --> 00:18:22,873
Could be
polyarteritis nodosa.
361
00:18:22,998 --> 00:18:24,625
That comes with a rash.
362
00:18:26,085 --> 00:18:27,461
Echovirus.
363
00:18:27,586 --> 00:18:29,296
(IMITATES ECHO)
Virus, virus, virus...
364
00:18:29,422 --> 00:18:31,632
Fits his physical symptoms.
365
00:18:31,757 --> 00:18:36,137
And could, but doesn't necessarily,
cause personality changes.
366
00:18:36,262 --> 00:18:37,930
Works for everyone?
367
00:18:38,514 --> 00:18:40,808
Start him on antivirals.
368
00:18:40,933 --> 00:18:43,394
And, Adams,
when you treat,
369
00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:47,273
and he gets better and doesn't give
Bob Cratchit Christmas Day off,
370
00:18:47,398 --> 00:18:49,483
you owe me a coffee.
371
00:18:52,111 --> 00:18:53,821
THIRTEEN:
Click the third tab from the left
372
00:18:53,946 --> 00:18:55,865
and find a box that
says "previous entry."
373
00:18:55,990 --> 00:18:57,783
You get a drop-down
menu that's sorted
374
00:18:57,908 --> 00:19:00,077
by patient name
and department.
375
00:19:00,202 --> 00:19:01,871
Thank you.
I appreciate your help.
376
00:19:01,996 --> 00:19:03,497
You're gonna read
too much into this, aren't you?
377
00:19:03,622 --> 00:19:04,832
No. Not at all.
378
00:19:04,957 --> 00:19:06,208
We're going to
fundamentally disagree
379
00:19:06,333 --> 00:19:09,003
about what it means
to read too much into this, aren't we?
380
00:19:09,128 --> 00:19:10,963
Yes, absolutely.
381
00:19:12,339 --> 00:19:14,842
Look, I thought about what you said,
and I realized you were right.
382
00:19:14,967 --> 00:19:17,052
Great.
See you tomorrow morning.
383
00:19:17,178 --> 00:19:18,596
No, you won't.
384
00:19:19,388 --> 00:19:22,099
Afternoon? I can't think
of another interpretation.
385
00:19:22,224 --> 00:19:25,728
Shut up. Look, I'm not sure
what you were trying to achieve.
386
00:19:25,853 --> 00:19:27,354
I'm never quite sure,
but you were
387
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,231
actually a friend to me
when I needed it.
388
00:19:30,316 --> 00:19:32,276
I don't want to come
back to work for you.
389
00:19:32,860 --> 00:19:35,905
But I was wrong to try
to push you out of my life.
390
00:19:37,907 --> 00:19:39,658
Everything has gone blue.
391
00:19:40,242 --> 00:19:43,287
That's not supposed
to happen, right?
392
00:19:43,412 --> 00:19:45,581
Stay there.
I'm coming.
393
00:19:45,706 --> 00:19:47,792
No, you don't
have to do that.
394
00:19:47,917 --> 00:19:51,337
Although if you did come, maybe
you could swing by the Hunan Palace
395
00:19:51,462 --> 00:19:53,881
and get some Lo Main
and a Szechuan Beef.
396
00:19:54,006 --> 00:19:55,883
That is six miles
out of my way.
397
00:19:56,008 --> 00:19:59,094
Okay, then, I guess I'll just get
something from the hospital cafeteria,
398
00:19:59,220 --> 00:20:02,389
which is where I get all of my meals
since I can't go anywhere.
399
00:20:03,516 --> 00:20:05,184
(SIGHING)
Fine. I'll get the food.
400
00:20:05,309 --> 00:20:06,852
You're a peach.
401
00:20:11,649 --> 00:20:13,442
I started the last round of pleconaril.
402
00:20:13,567 --> 00:20:15,319
Can you do me a favor?
403
00:20:16,028 --> 00:20:17,613
A favor?
404
00:20:22,117 --> 00:20:23,911
You want me to
return these?
405
00:20:24,036 --> 00:20:27,665
Give them to someone?
Wear them while you masturbate?
406
00:20:29,124 --> 00:20:31,126
I want you to have them.
407
00:20:31,877 --> 00:20:33,254
That's not a favor.
408
00:20:33,379 --> 00:20:37,466
It was a two-for-one sale. I couldn't
resist. I need to justify buying them.
409
00:20:37,591 --> 00:20:40,052
They're $120.
410
00:20:40,177 --> 00:20:43,055
My car's in the shop.
I'm short on cash this month.
411
00:20:43,180 --> 00:20:45,099
I can't pay you back.
412
00:20:45,224 --> 00:20:48,686
The first pair were $120.
These were free.
413
00:20:50,813 --> 00:20:53,816
You do know I punched
the last person that pissed me off?
414
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:56,318
Was it Santa?
415
00:21:12,501 --> 00:21:15,129
What's your
patient's status?
416
00:21:15,254 --> 00:21:17,673
Better.
We're discharging him.
417
00:21:17,923 --> 00:21:19,925
(SIGHS)
Good.
418
00:21:21,093 --> 00:21:23,554
Hey, hey.
Why do you care?
419
00:21:24,889 --> 00:21:28,309
Specifically. Although, I'm curious
about a general answer too.
420
00:21:28,434 --> 00:21:29,977
Your guy just signed up to donate
421
00:21:30,102 --> 00:21:34,064
a kidney to my patient
with renal failure.
422
00:21:34,189 --> 00:21:35,941
Did he meet your patient
with renal failure?
423
00:21:36,066 --> 00:21:40,821
No. He heard the nurses talking
about her, that she was short on time.
424
00:21:42,031 --> 00:21:43,282
I was wrong.
425
00:21:43,407 --> 00:21:46,535
Don't say that.
House, she really needs this kidney.
426
00:21:46,660 --> 00:21:49,788
He's not better.
His mental status is declining.
427
00:21:49,914 --> 00:21:53,709
Or he's doing an amazing thing
for another human being.
428
00:21:54,251 --> 00:21:55,753
I thought it was
an ethical no-brainer
429
00:21:55,878 --> 00:21:58,547
that we can't take
stuff from sick people.
430
00:21:58,672 --> 00:22:00,466
I changed my mind.
431
00:22:08,474 --> 00:22:09,892
He's still sick.
432
00:22:10,017 --> 00:22:11,143
His symptoms
have gone away.
433
00:22:11,268 --> 00:22:15,356
Not all of them. Offering an organ
to a stranger is a symptom.
434
00:22:15,481 --> 00:22:18,567
A couple dozen people a year
make undirected kidney donations.
435
00:22:18,692 --> 00:22:21,320
How many of them are also in
the process of pauperizing themselves?
436
00:22:21,445 --> 00:22:23,906
If the guy threw himself
on a grenade, he'd be a hero.
437
00:22:24,031 --> 00:22:25,908
If it saves a life,
who cares?
438
00:22:26,033 --> 00:22:31,038
You do. Yesterday when you made
the exact opposite argument.
439
00:22:31,163 --> 00:22:33,123
If there's even
a chance I'm right,
440
00:22:33,248 --> 00:22:34,750
it'd be dangerous
to give his kidney to someone else.
441
00:22:34,875 --> 00:22:39,129
More dangerous than complete renal
failure? My patient needs this now.
442
00:22:39,254 --> 00:22:41,966
Why do you want to
give away your kidney?
443
00:22:42,091 --> 00:22:43,467
There are 70,000
people in this country
444
00:22:43,592 --> 00:22:45,135
on the active
waiting list for a kidney,
445
00:22:45,260 --> 00:22:47,304
and less than 10,000 dead people
a year to give them one.
446
00:22:47,429 --> 00:22:50,641
Yeah, if only we could kill
60,000 more people a year,
447
00:22:50,766 --> 00:22:52,142
all would be golden.
448
00:22:52,267 --> 00:22:53,644
I'll give you
your money.
449
00:22:53,769 --> 00:22:55,145
See? Crazy.
450
00:22:55,270 --> 00:22:57,022
Being a live donor
has risks.
451
00:22:57,147 --> 00:23:00,609
I looked it up. The risk is one
in 4,000. I could die during surgery.
452
00:23:00,734 --> 00:23:02,653
Which means
if I don't donate,
453
00:23:02,778 --> 00:23:05,990
I'm valuing my life
at 4,000 times someone else's.
454
00:23:06,615 --> 00:23:08,200
It's not like
I want to be cut open
455
00:23:08,325 --> 00:23:10,244
and have a part of me
taken out,
456
00:23:10,369 --> 00:23:13,706
but I've got two, and this woman
has none. She'll die without it.
457
00:23:14,331 --> 00:23:16,250
Perfectly logical.
458
00:23:16,375 --> 00:23:18,502
People with mental deficiency
can be logical.
459
00:23:18,627 --> 00:23:20,796
Just like sane people
can be illogical.
460
00:23:20,921 --> 00:23:24,258
This kidney thing is the only evidence
you have that he's sick.
461
00:23:26,176 --> 00:23:28,470
I'm going to
let him be a donor.
462
00:23:32,516 --> 00:23:34,893
Dr. House,
it's not a symptom.
463
00:23:36,103 --> 00:23:37,771
Come back after you're convinced
that I'm healthy,
464
00:23:37,896 --> 00:23:39,690
and I will give you
your money.
465
00:23:40,524 --> 00:23:42,359
No, you won't.
466
00:23:47,364 --> 00:23:49,867
We have time for
one more test before we move him.
467
00:23:49,992 --> 00:23:51,118
What test?
468
00:23:51,243 --> 00:23:53,537
Whatever test will prove
that it wasn't echovirus...
469
00:23:53,662 --> 00:23:56,290
(IMITATES ECHO) Virus, virus...
And he's not cured, obviously.
470
00:23:56,415 --> 00:23:58,459
I've been saying all along
this could be Whipple's.
471
00:23:58,584 --> 00:24:02,713
Causes arrhythmia,
tremor and mental changes.
472
00:24:02,838 --> 00:24:05,132
Bad idea.
There's no joint pain.
473
00:24:05,257 --> 00:24:06,467
Where's Adams?
474
00:24:06,592 --> 00:24:07,760
We thought
the case was over.
475
00:24:07,885 --> 00:24:10,054
She has a job interview.
476
00:24:13,891 --> 00:24:15,225
Why is she here?
477
00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:16,852
HOUSE:
Because I called her.
478
00:24:17,394 --> 00:24:20,022
Bigger question is
why that worked.
479
00:24:20,272 --> 00:24:22,524
I'm here because I have time,
and you have a crisis and...
480
00:24:22,649 --> 00:24:24,234
We're too busy for
rationalizations.
481
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,071
Patient made a big downgrade
in his personal life.
482
00:24:27,196 --> 00:24:28,781
He's probably not
eating all that healthy.
483
00:24:28,906 --> 00:24:30,574
Magnesium deficiency?
484
00:24:32,117 --> 00:24:34,578
Wait until they take him back
to his room, draw blood,
485
00:24:34,703 --> 00:24:36,914
and do an expanded
electrolyte profile.
486
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:39,458
No, he hasn't had anxiety
or any trouble sleeping.
487
00:24:39,583 --> 00:24:40,751
I think it's
Whipple's disease.
488
00:24:40,876 --> 00:24:43,087
Bad idea.
He doesn't have joint pain.
489
00:24:43,212 --> 00:24:45,214
THIRTEEN:
Joint pain is common but not definitive.
490
00:24:45,339 --> 00:24:47,091
Whipple's explains
all of his symptoms
491
00:24:47,216 --> 00:24:48,884
including
the personality change.
492
00:24:49,009 --> 00:24:50,469
And it would
respond to antibiotics,
493
00:24:50,594 --> 00:24:52,179
which is why
he started to feel better,
494
00:24:52,304 --> 00:24:54,515
which doesn't mean
he's not still sick.
495
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,936
You were right. Counts for nothing
if you can't defend it.
496
00:24:59,061 --> 00:25:01,188
Book a procedure room,
do an upper endoscopy,
497
00:25:01,313 --> 00:25:03,774
and run a PCR test
for Whipple's.
498
00:25:06,652 --> 00:25:08,237
Guilt.
499
00:25:09,071 --> 00:25:11,156
You feel guilty
about leaving.
500
00:25:11,281 --> 00:25:13,408
Yes, I think that little of you
and that much of me.
501
00:25:13,534 --> 00:25:14,743
You're nothing without me.
502
00:25:14,868 --> 00:25:17,329
Not leaving me,
leaving humanity.
503
00:25:18,455 --> 00:25:21,291
I'm going with my girlfriend,
the woman I love.
504
00:25:21,667 --> 00:25:23,085
To have fun.
505
00:25:24,503 --> 00:25:25,838
You're trying to
make me feel guilty,
506
00:25:25,963 --> 00:25:27,464
because you're
saving lives here.
507
00:25:27,589 --> 00:25:30,342
I think that's great.
I'm proud to have been a part of it.
508
00:25:30,467 --> 00:25:34,513
But now,
I just want to be happy.
509
00:25:35,889 --> 00:25:39,184
Well, no one's
unhappy in Greece.
510
00:25:42,437 --> 00:25:44,314
CAROL:
It just appeared in the last few weeks.
511
00:25:44,439 --> 00:25:46,775
He's having trouble

different lately,

new kitten?

The neighbors put in a pool, so he's
been spending a lot of time over there.
516
00:25:57,536 --> 00:25:59,663
But if it were
something in the water
517
00:25:59,788 --> 00:26:02,875
it would be everywhere,
wouldn't it?
518
00:26:06,295 --> 00:26:07,796
It is in the water.
519
00:26:07,921 --> 00:26:09,548
He's allergic to chlorine?
520
00:26:09,673 --> 00:26:10,716
No.

Too late for your eyesight.

Damn it.

always have the upper hand,

a favor is insulting to you.

on the last one.

tried to analyze this?

He's on heparin and stable for now,

for stroke or embolism.

bit by a spider.

up to three days to manifest.

That seems like
an overreaction.
569

You dosed him. You couldn't stand
losing him as a patient,
570

to prove yourself right.

in which case,
I don't like you.

up against a lifetime of training.

If you wanna win,
you've got to do

00:31:07,345 --> 00:31:09,473
something she can't
possibly reciprocate.
611
00:31:09,598 --> 00:31:11,433
You've got to push
her neuroses to the point
612

where even she thinks
that she's crazy.

I'll leave you alone forever.

I heard he was sick.
I just wanted to see him.
620
00:31:56,311 --> 00:31:58,772
He's giving a kidney
to someone he's never met?
621
00:32:00,315 --> 00:32:01,942
He wants to, yeah.
622
00:32:03,693 --> 00:32:05,654
I know
he's talked about you.
623
00:32:05,779 --> 00:32:07,447
He's been alone
all this time.
624
00:32:07,572 --> 00:32:10,283
I'm sure it would mean
a lot to him to see you.

I wanted to spend
my life with him,
626

but I need to feel like he loves me
more than other people.
627
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,214
Like he loves
our kids more.
628

Are you now on the team,
like, forever?
683
00:36:11,733 --> 00:36:13,401
I don't know.
684
00:36:13,526 --> 00:36:16,029
Because I was thinking
of ordering t-shirts.
685
00:36:16,154 --> 00:36:19,824
I don't know, House.
I mean, what am I supposed to do?
686
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:24,412
I trained to be a doctor. I know how
to take someone's pain away,
687
00:36:24,537 --> 00:36:26,748
how to make
a stopped heart beat again.
688
00:36:27,749 --> 00:36:31,836
We've brought people's kids back,
their husbands.
689
00:36:33,296 --> 00:36:34,506
$0 guilt?
690
00:36:34,631 --> 00:36:38,927
Yes, you were right.
You're always right. I just...
691
00:36:40,178 --> 00:36:42,889
I have the skills
to help people.
692
00:36:43,014 --> 00:36:48,102
Is it okay for me to walk away from that
because I wanna just have fun?
693
00:36:49,854 --> 00:36:51,064
Obviously not.
694
00:36:51,189 --> 00:36:52,565
(ELEVATOR DINGS)
695
00:37:02,742 --> 00:37:04,619
How's your patient?
696
00:37:05,578 --> 00:37:07,664
She died a few hours ago.
697
00:37:15,839 --> 00:37:17,632
Thirteen's back.
698
00:37:19,926 --> 00:37:21,928
No department, no money,
699
00:37:22,053 --> 00:37:24,597
and somehow, you manage to con her
into hanging around.
700
00:37:25,765 --> 00:37:27,183
I have a gift.
701
00:37:33,189 --> 00:37:34,399
What?
702
00:37:34,524 --> 00:37:36,192
It was a con.
703
00:37:36,317 --> 00:37:37,986
The patient was faking?
704
00:37:38,111 --> 00:37:39,696
No, I was.
705
00:37:42,365 --> 00:37:47,203
I brought him in here under false
pretenses just to get his money.
706
00:37:47,787 --> 00:37:50,248
I ordered a bunch of random tests
to keep him here.
707
00:37:50,373 --> 00:37:54,961
One of them was a head CT
which uses iodine contrast.
708
00:37:55,086 --> 00:37:56,546
You think he's
allergic to iodine?
709
00:37:56,671 --> 00:37:58,089
No. Again.
710
00:37:58,214 --> 00:38:00,049
Just don't interrupt me.
711
00:38:00,174 --> 00:38:03,469
Thirteen was right.
This is a thyroid issue.
712
00:38:06,431 --> 00:38:08,600
He has Plummer's disease.
713
00:38:12,061 --> 00:38:16,983
He has a nodule in his thyroid.
It produces excess hormone.
714
00:38:17,108 --> 00:38:20,778
Not enough to test abnormal,
just more than his brain was used to.
715
00:38:20,904 --> 00:38:23,072
Just enough to make him
irrationally generous,
716
00:38:23,197 --> 00:38:25,241
make him
vulnerable to overheating.
717
00:38:25,366 --> 00:38:27,160
WILSON: Then you pumped his body
full of iodine
718
00:38:27,285 --> 00:38:28,995
and kicked him
into thyrotoxicosis.
719
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,080
HOUSE: I said don't interrupt.
720
00:38:31,205 --> 00:38:35,460
But yes, you're right.
We take out the nodule. He'll be fine.
721
00:38:49,432 --> 00:38:51,893
Two days, one surgery.
722
00:38:53,102 --> 00:38:56,105
I now accept that
you are all better.
723
00:38:56,940 --> 00:38:58,149
Where's my money?
724
00:38:58,274 --> 00:38:59,359
You made me sick.
725
00:38:59,484 --> 00:39:04,489
You were already sick.
I just made you much, much worse.
726
00:39:05,740 --> 00:39:07,825
Seriously, the money.
727
00:39:11,746 --> 00:39:13,998
You're not giving
it to me, are you?
728
00:39:14,123 --> 00:39:18,920
When you're facing death,
some things come into focus...
729
00:39:20,088 --> 00:39:21,297
My wife...
730
00:39:21,422 --> 00:39:24,175
You love your family.
You want them back.
731
00:39:25,301 --> 00:39:27,971
Your altruism was always a symptom.
732
00:39:28,554 --> 00:39:30,807
No, it wasn't.
I'm still gonna...
733
00:39:30,932 --> 00:39:33,393
Give less?
How much less?
734
00:39:33,518 --> 00:39:34,769
Just enough to
spoil your kids?
735
00:39:34,894 --> 00:39:36,062
No.
736
00:39:36,187 --> 00:39:38,064
But they need it
more than people with TB
737
00:39:38,189 --> 00:39:40,608
or children in Indonesia
with no eyes?
738
00:39:40,733 --> 00:39:42,652
Diagnosticians
with hearts of gold?
739
00:39:42,777 --> 00:39:46,406
I don't want to give you money
because you're an ass.
740
00:39:48,074 --> 00:39:49,826
I was an ass last week.
741
00:39:52,745 --> 00:39:56,916
I love my family.
I want to be with them.
742
00:39:58,710 --> 00:40:00,461
That doesn't make me
a bad person.
743
00:40:00,586 --> 00:40:01,963
No.
744
00:40:02,797 --> 00:40:04,757
It makes you
a healthy person.
745
00:40:15,393 --> 00:40:18,980
My mechanic called.
Said the work's been paid for.
746
00:40:19,105 --> 00:40:21,024
You mentioned your
car was in the shop.
747
00:40:21,149 --> 00:40:23,526
That's $4,500.
748
00:40:24,318 --> 00:40:28,573
Smile and say thank you,
or I get you GPS.
749
00:40:32,118 --> 00:40:33,745
You win.
750
00:40:38,082 --> 00:40:39,542
Thank you.
751
00:40:49,260 --> 00:40:53,723
Your car's getting fixed.
You were right. She went for it.
752
00:40:54,390 --> 00:40:56,225
Good work.
753
00:40:57,143 --> 00:41:00,605
Need a lift tomorrow?
Your car's still in the shop.
754
00:41:00,730 --> 00:41:02,648
I don't take charity.
755
00:41:02,774 --> 00:41:04,734
I'm just glad it's over.
756
00:41:06,736 --> 00:41:08,905
Nothing is ever over.
757
00:41:30,301 --> 00:41:31,844
HOUSE:
Thirteen.
758
00:41:33,304 --> 00:41:34,847
Need a minute.
759
00:41:42,522 --> 00:41:44,273
You're fired.
760
00:41:44,398 --> 00:41:45,817
Now what?
House, I'm starving...
761
00:41:45,942 --> 00:41:47,360
I'm not joking.
762
00:41:48,027 --> 00:41:49,862
You're fired.
Don't come in tomorrow.
763
00:41:49,987 --> 00:41:51,280
House...
764
00:41:52,740 --> 00:41:54,909
I can work with people
who've got nowhere else to go,
765
00:41:55,034 --> 00:41:56,452
people who've got
something to prove,
766
00:41:56,577 --> 00:41:58,371
people who just get off
on weird cases.
767
00:41:58,496 --> 00:42:01,707
Who I can't work with
is someone who's here
768
00:42:01,833 --> 00:42:04,168
so she doesn't
have to feel bad.
769
00:42:07,505 --> 00:42:09,257
You're trying to save me.
770
00:42:09,382 --> 00:42:13,511
Yes, I think that little of you
and that much of me.
771
00:42:24,939 --> 00:42:26,232
Okay-
772
00:42:30,361 --> 00:42:32,155
Bye, House.
