[House and his team are watching television in the morgue]
[whispers] Is no one going to tell me.. [House shushes her as he watches television] Why we're in the morgue?
House is on the lam from someone. Taub's got his money on Wilson, but I'm pretty sure it's Cuddy.
Fool's bet. There's a whole world of angry patients, creditors…
You bugged the room?
I absolutely, without apology, will admit that someone may have allegedly done so.
Am I a horrible person? I used to win awards for volunteer work. I went to Guatemala and fixed cleft palates. Now we're sitting back letting Chase do our dirty work.
We're doing the right thing. Stay out of it.
I don't know. I don't know about anything anymore. Then this thing with the kid, Rachel's brother...
Stay out of that too. A: radiologists — experts, unlike you — said no bleed. B: you yourself said it's probably not. C: you've got no doctor-patient relationship. D: you'll lose your consulting job. E: your ex will kill you. F: I'm running out of alphabet here.
I asked you before why you were tough on me.
I wasn't.
You were. And I know why. You see something in me that you didn't see in Julia and you didn't see in you — a type of ambition, a type of brains. That's why you rode me. You made me yearbook editor, summa undergrad, A.O.A. in med school. The only time I ever see light in your eyes is when you hear me talking about my job. The reason you keep coming to see me in the clinic is because you trust me. You trust my medical judgment. So here it is. If you transfer to Princeton General, you'll be treated well, and you'll die. If you stay here with House, you'll be treated badly, but you'll live. I don't care if I have to slash the tires of every ambulance in this bay, Mom. I am not letting you leave my hospital.
Once again, you are unfired.
Why?
You sold me out even though you knew that you were gonna get thrown out of med school. That's just… kind of impressive.
I keep my job if I stand up to you. I keep it if I don't. I… don't buy it.
When Cuddy was protecting me before, she was protecting a doctor. She's now protecting a boyfriend. The hospital's not gonna put up with that for long. So I need you to protect me from doing something Cuddy will regret.
