Who's in charge?
House, as long as you're not here, someone has to have the final…
Let me rephrase. Who's your daddy?
It's interesting.
No, it's not. It's mundane and simple. He's obviously a very blessed specimen, so from an evolutionary point of view, he'd produce healthy offspring, so my prefrontal cortex is telling me I should have sex with him.
Oh. Is that all?
Yes. My rational brain knows he's a hillbilly and an idiot.
And yet somehow your rational brain is losing the argument, which is interesting.
We are gonna talk about this, and we're gonna deal with this.
So I have no choice. Fine. Unless... unless... yes, I do. I do have legs. I see you didn't factor those into your brilliant plan.
[about House] He needs you.
I love him. And I know he loves me. But I just can't.
He needs you in his life. Even if you're not sleeping with him, he needs you. Without you...
You can't go backwards. I can't fix his problem. I am his problem.
I think maybe you're looking for something that can excite you. Fill a void. And it's affecting your judgement.
You're right. I am. But my damaged, depressed, drug-addled judgment is still better than yours or any other doctor's in this hospital. And my team is going to do this procedure and save his life. So you can either have security arrest me and my team or you can get the hell out of my way. [He pauses and watches her face] And she caves.
