In this episode: Gregory House (5), James Wilson (2), Edward Vogler (1)
[The hospital's just been bought by billionaire drug mogul Edward Vogler]
No, I have seen every scary movie ever made. Six-year old twins in front of an elevator with blood. Boys' choirs. Those are bad omens. This is much more mundane. A billionaire wants to get laid.
Billionaires buy movie studios to get laid. They buy hospitals to get respect.
And the reason you want respect...?
To... get laid.
In about an hour there's going to be an emergency meeting with the transplant committee to discuss where you fall on the list should a new heart become available. Problem is, I am required to tell the committee about your bulimia, it's a major psychological condition, ranks up there with suicidal. Means you're a very bad risk.
So you're here to tell me I have just a few hours to live?
Unless I lie to the committee. But if they find out, I lose my medical license.
[silence]
This would be a very good time to offer me a bribe. How much is your life worth? How much is my job worth?
You value our friendship more than your ethical responsibilities?
Our friendship is an ethical responsibility.
Why did you fight for me? You risked so much and you hardly know me.
You're my patient. Don't screw it up.
[Vogler has reason to believe House lied during the transplant committee meeting]
This is not a game, Dr. House.
No, it's actually more like we're dancing right now. So let's get to the point. You don't like me. I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna like you. It's nothing personal, I don't like anybody.
