“The Greater Good” · Season 5, Episode 14

In this episode: Gregory House (5), Dr. Lisa Cuddy (2), James Wilson (1)

Why do you think the elevators would be out to get me?

I don't know. Maybe they wanted to take time off to spend with their little dumbwaiter. But then they had to leave it at home with an elevator sitter because you drove the replacement elevator to quitting because you're incapable of listening to anybody but me. That's just a theory.

You're wrong. I don't even listen to you.

I'm happy for you. A love so deep you're ready to chuck your medical license to give her powerful, unproven drugs with dangerous side effects. I don't want to make assumptions about your feelings for me, but I do have a birthday coming up.

Yeah, that makes sense too.

"Too"?

I was thinking you actually feel guilty about taking her away from her baby, but your explanation's good too. It's completely inconsistent with your character, but... whatever.

Thank you, Rationalization Man. You have saved the village!

Or this whole thing is just an act. And you've gone back to the part you think you need to play.

You should go talk to Wilson. Rationalization Man needs a faithful sidekick. Now Rational Man needs to go save a life.
