Ms. Fields, House and others in “Two Stories”

Dr. House, can I ask you a question? Are you insane or just stupid?

House

Is there a third option?

Actually, I don't think there is.

House

I'm sorry. I just wasn't thinking. I mean, I was, but only about myself, which is apparently the way I am. Usually. Not always. I need to convince someone of that.

And you think you can do that by getting someone to pull strings to get her daughter into our pre-school. I spoke to Sanford Wells.

House

You can call the police. You can turn me in for lying at the accident.

I'm sure Mr. Dryden has already taken care of that.

House

Let her daughter in. She's a great kid and Dr. Cuddy is a great mom. They'll fit in perfectly here.

And how exactly does admitting her daughter prove how unselfish you are? It seems like you're still doing it to help yourself, not anyone else.

House

I don't know. I just know that I need to do something. I need her in my life. Do you know what it's like to actually need someone?

Yes. I do. But I also know what it's like to have responsibilities. Maybe it's time you grew up.
