Did you actually wake up early and hide under the bed just to scare the crap outta me?
Set an alarm and everything.
It's like dating a ten-year-old.
God, I hope not.
“Bombshells” · Season 7, Episode 15
In this episode: Gregory House (3), Dr. Lisa Cuddy (3), James Wilson (1), Eric Foreman (1), Robert Chase (1), Chris Taub (1), Rachel (1)
[In a sitcom style similar to Two and a Half Men. Applause; knock on door]
I'll get it!
[off screen] That better be her.
[Wilson opens the door. A police officer and a little girl wearing flannel with a stripe of pink in her hair are standing in the hallway. The audience oohs.]
Rachel Cuddy, you were supposed to be home half an hour ago.
Don't blame me; he's the one who wouldn't run any red lights.
[The audience laughs. The police officer walks Rachel inside the apartment.]
OOfficer
The mouth on that kid makes Mel Gibson sound like Nelson Mandela. Where'd she learn that?
[House enters blowing a bubble with gum. The audience cheers wildly.]
I don't know why you're here, but I didn't do it.
What's the problem, officer?
OOfficer
She was shoplifting down at the mall. Are either of you this girl's father?
Nope! But since her mom died, she's my favorite tax write-off. [walks over to the door and sees the officer out] Officer, you have my word it won't happen again, 'cause next time she won't get caught.
[House slams the door shut behind the officer, then turns and high-fives Rachel. They hug. Wilson shrugs and joins in on the hug. Cuddy then wakes up from her dream, gasping and staring at the medication on her nightstand.]
Do you want me to quote from First Corinthians? 'Cause I can do that.
As a Jew, I'm gonna have to decline that offer.
Don't know what you're missing. St. Paul was really on his game.
What is it with you and this kid?
He's doggy-paddling in a sea of misery.
How far did you have to reach back for that memory? Last night? Sometimes I hear you in the living room watching TV at 3:00 a.m.
That's when classic Doctor Who comes on the BBC.
Yeah, if only they had some device that allowed you to record them and watch them another time.
You took Vicodin. When you came to my hospital room that night, you were stoned.
How did you know?
How did I not know? How did I make myself forget for months that you're an addict? My sub-conscious was trying to tell me you could never get through this without drugs.
It was a one time thing.
It's not about the pills, House. It's about what they mean.
I was scared because I thought my girlfriend might die.
No. You don't take Vicodin because you're scared. You take it so you won't feel pain. Everything you've ever done is to avoid pain; drugs, sarcasm, keeping everybody at arm's length so no one can hurt you.
As opposed to everyone else in the world who goes looking for pain like it's buried treasure?
Pain happens when you care. You can't love someone without making yourself open to their problems, their fears, and you're not willing to do that.
I came -- I came to be with you.
You weren't with me. Not really.
I wanted to be.
That's not enough.
I can do better.
I don't think you can. You'll choose yourself over everybody else over and over again because that's just who you are. [strokes House's face] I'm sorry.
No, no, no. Don't don't.
I thought I could do this.
Don't, don't. Please don't.
Goodbye, House.
