He said he'd be here by three, he's obviously not coming. [removes her runners bib and starts to leave] I'm going home.
JCDr. Jeffrey Cole
Nobody follow her. She "pied pipered" nine people right out of a job last week.
“97 Seconds” · Season 4, Episode 3
In this episode: Gregory House (3), Dr. Volakis (3), Thirteen (2), Dr. Lisa Cuddy (1), Kutner (1)
Patient has spinal muscular atrophy. It's genetic, incurable. This is not a diagnostic mystery.
You have just given a state secret to the enemy.
What enemy?
New patient, new rules. Today you're gonna split yourselves into two teams. The first to figure out what's threatening to deprive the patient of the twenty or so miserable years he's got left with SMA gets to keep their jobs. Take off your numbers, you look stupid. I think I know who you are by now.
LKDr. Lawrence Kutner
Wait, how do you want us to split up?
Good question [pauses, forgetting Dr. Kutner's name] …overly-excited former foster kid. There's ten of you, I was thinking six against six. No, wait…

How 'bout women versus men.
Excellent suggestion…fat twin. More interesting than "evens versus odds", less interesting than "shirts against skins". If your sex organs dangle - you're the Confederates. If your sex organs are aesthetically pleasing - you're the Yanks.
Dr. House, I'd like to be on the men's team.
Do your sex organs dangle, Cutthroat Bitch?
Not yet.
HDDr. Henry Dobson
We're not okay.
I get it - you don't like me because maybe I'm a little bit competitive.
DDr. Dobson
Manipulative.
"Cutthroat Bitch" is your official title.
[Dr. House walks into Dr. Cuddy's office and sits down. There is long pause.]
Why are you here?
My office is being used by my teams.
Teams?
...Which means this is the only place where you can yell at me.
You have teamS?
Two of them. I wanted to deal with the yelling today because I noticed what you were wearing and I wouldn't have to listen all that closely.
You can't make a competition out of patient care.
Without competition we'd still be single-celled organisms. Can I go now?
Not until after the yelling. What's wrong with him?
I have seven of the finest minds on it, along with three very special-
You wouldn't be doing this unless you already knew-
Ah-ah, if I tell you, you tell them. Game's over.
If you know you are obligated to treat-
Well, then in that case I don't know. Why would a a guy voluntarily shove a metal object into an electrical socket?
I'm getting closer and closer to knowing the answer. What would happen if I shut down this game?
I'd fire them all, hire forty new fellowship applicants, and start the game all over again.
Who are you, Thirteen?
My name's in the file.
Fact that you won't answer my question tells me more about you than answers could.
No it doesn't. We turned the thing up to 95 degrees-
You think that not answers tell me anything?
Sure, just not as much as actual answers, that's why they're called answers.
They tell me you're hiding something.
Tells you I'm hiding everything.
Tells me you got something worth hiding. Is it Turkish prison? Gay porn? You killed a man just because he was asking too many questions?
