[House wakes up from surgery]
What are you doing here?
You hoping for someone else?
Hot nurse, candy striper… Someone who doesn't speak English. Someone who doesn't speak judgmental.

[House wakes up from surgery]
What are you doing here?
You hoping for someone else?
Hot nurse, candy striper… Someone who doesn't speak English. Someone who doesn't speak judgmental.
You're an ass.
What, for trying to walk on a freshly mangled leg? Performing surgery on myself? For thinking I could solve my emotional problems with rat medicine? If you're gonna nag, at least have the decency to be specific.
You stood me up.
Sorry. Should have scheduled my patient's internal bleeding for Thursday.
You want us to waste a bed on her?
You took an oath… an oath to be cool. At least that was the one I mumbled under my breath while everyone else was doing the boring one.
You're forging my name on prescriptions again.
No. What you just said implies that I stopped at some point.
You think I have unresolved issues and you are the unresolved issues.
Yes. But it's... I think it's more than that. It's your life, your choices.
I did it to fix my life. No, wait, no, I did it because I'm a deeply unhappy person. No, no, I did it to get sympathy from you. I did it to piss you off. I did it because I'm not over you, or I was over you, and I was moving on. I did it because I want to know what it's like not to be in pain. I did it because I want to feel more pain. Whatever the reason, it was a bad reason and a bad idea. That's all that matters. Good lunch.
House… talk to me!
I already did.
[gets in front of House, trying to stop him] No, you just parroted back what Wilson and I've been saying to you the last few days.
Get out of my way.
No. [She looks down and touches his leg.] Oh, you pulled a stitch. House, please just talk to me.
[Cuddy takes House's arms, trying to turn him to face her and House pushes Cuddy against a wall and they are staring face to face]
[loudly] You want to know how I feel? [two deep breaths then, quietly] I feel hurt.
[Cuddy takes House's hands from her upper arms and holds them.]
I know. I'm sorry. [Cuddy's final line]
It's not your fault. [pulls his hands free and walks off.]
This another pet? Cause it's going to end badly. Again. Remember we talked about this. At least I talked, and you stared at me eerily. I think it was eerily. "Eerily" felt like the best-case scenario.
Why you keep helping him out?
Yeah, why would I wanna make sure that my homicidal cellmate is taking the right anti-psychotics?
I checked your file. You didn't have a bad lawyer. You had no lawyer. You took the first deal they offered because you wanted to punish yourself. You think getting beat up, saving this one guy is going to wipe your slate clean?
No.
Then why are you doing this?
Because I have a gift.
That look of shock is elitist and offensive. Doctors can be degenerates too. This is America.
Before I went to Med School. Thought about getting a PHD in Physics. You ever hear of dark matter? The galaxies rotate. Motion of the universe. It means there's six times more stuff than we can detect. But it's theorized. No one's ever proved it exists.
So uh, so you want to research it? Why?
It's the greatest mystery there is. Theory of everything.
And completely divorced from humanity.
Me and humanity, we got married too young.
Nice painting. Blues and greens. Calming, but with a hint of nurturing. Totally offsets the stench of suffering and death. Where's my patient? We need to not talk.
Get this straight. You break the law, you go back to jail. Scam extra Vicodin, back to jail. Flout my authority, make the hospital look bad, back to jail. I own you.
Yassa, massa.
See, that would be an example.
Okay, I'll go first. My boss dumped me, and yours what? Called you his china doll? Joked about what a crappy deal you got for Manhattan? Assumed that you had a huge penis? I have no idea what flavor you are, so I thought I'd just cover the spread.
My mom's Filipino, dad's Korean, and my boss grabbed my behind.
Behind what? Oh, yeah, your... grabbed your tushy.
