【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 above the lobby that has a balcony too. House is leaning on the balcony overlooking the lobby, watching people walk in and out.) [Wilson walks up to join him.] Wilson: I heard you were watching surgery with a patient39。s family. Talking to a patient39。s family. It39。s because of your hallucination, isn39。t it? After you were shot? You chose life。 you decided you wanted meaning, so you took a case with no mystery. Something any doctor could do. A case with no upside except the satisfaction of helping another human being. House: She thanked me. Wilson: And... you felt nothing. House: Wasn39。t even sure what I was supposed to feel. Wilson: It39。s like your leg, its atrophied. Keep working it, the feeling will e. [Cameron walks up to them.] Cameron: Sorry, need you, again. House: Told you to get rid of her. Cameron: It39。s a good thing we didn39。t. Tightness in her chest, she can39。t breathe, it could be pleural effusion. House: Right. Either that or she39。s holding her breath like a 4yrold. [Scene change back to Caren who is gasping for breath。 Chase and Foreman lift her into a sitting position as House enters holding a great big needle. He hides it from her view as he crouches at the bottom of her bed to talk to her.] House: Relax. I39。m not going to burn you again. I39。m going to STAB YOU! [He brings out the needle suddenly, trying to scare her. Caren continues gasping for breath.] Look, either you39。re faking, or you39。ve got a pleural effusion that39。s a buildup of fluid around the lungs which is very serious and I would have no choice but to stab you in the back with this needle and suck all the fluid out of you. [Caren looks terrified, but continues gasping for breath.] So Cameron: We should give her a local. House: That would defeat the point of me being nasty. [He stands next to her with the needle.] Ready? [He raises his arm and pretends to strike until he notices a distended jugular vein on her neck.] Down. Foreman: But she can39。t breathe if she39。s down. House: Down! Foreman: She can39。t breathe House: Down! Down, down, down! Come on! [He pushes her to lie flat on her back again before he spears the needle straight into her chest to the surprise of the Ducklings, and starts drawing out blood. Caren39。s breathing bees easier.] Foreman: That39。s not a pleural effusion. Cameron: Problem39。s in her heart. House: Can39。t fake that. (Scene changes to the next day。 Chase is now the one drawing the blood from Caren who is on a ventilator.) [Scene shifts back to the Diagnostics office.] Chase: Had to relieve the pressure 3 times in the last 2 hours. So either we figure out what39。s causing blood to build up around her heart or I follow her around with the needle for the rest of her life. Cameron: Echo was clean, no structural abnormalities. Foreman: Could be an infectious process. TB? Cameron: Or vasculitis would also explain the effusion. House: But not the paralysis. Let39。s assume that she wasn39。t faking it. Cameron: She moved, therefore she could move. She wasn39。t paralyzed. House: Ehh... doesn39。t mean she was faking, could have been a delusion. Now, either she was faking, and coincidentally got a real cardiac problem at the exact same time, or it39。s a delusion and the fake paralysis is a real neurological symptom. Foreman: You39。re thinking vascular tumor on her spine? Cameron: Her platelets are normal. Chase: And she39。s been scanned up and down, it39。s all clean. House: So, open her up, and find it. [He bounces the ball he normally plays with on Chase39。s head to Chase39。s annoyance.] Foreman: So what do you want us to do? Start at her neck and just keep cutting down her spine until we stumble on something? House: That should work. [He tosses the ball back to Chase before walking out the door.] (House is checking Richard with a stethoscope while Arlene watches on.) House: His heart rate39。s a little high. Arlene: Should I be worried? House: Probably just means he39。s still in disfort from the surgery. I39。m going to up his morphine a little. Arlene: You39。ve been so nice to us. House: That39。s the job. Arlene: No, I mean all the other doctors, all they did was obsess on the... the cancer, the treatment, the damage... just trying to fix him. You39。re the first doctor that39。s ever given a damn about the quality of his life. House: His heart rate39。s e down, the morphine worked I was right. [He quickly walks out of the room. Cameron, who has been eavesdropping from behind the door, joins him.] Cameron: What a touching moment. That39。s why we bee doctors. For those rare moments when our hearts are warm House: Would you like to get a drink? Cameron: Are you serious or are you just trying to change the subject? House: No, I39。m serious. I drink, you drink. We could do it at the same time, same table. Do you eat? We could do that too. I mean, if the answer39。s no that39。s cool but... [He waits for her response as they stop in front of the elevators.] Cameron: No, I... it39。s just... you39。re just ing off the surgery and you39。re not yourself yet and I work for you and even though last year39。s... [Frustrated sigh as House starts smiling smugly.] you39。re smiling! I39。m saying no and you39。re smiling! House: Oh, don39。t take it personally. Its just coz you39。re full of crap. You have no interest in going out with me. Maybe you did, when I couldn39。t walk and I was a sick puppy that you could nurture back to health. Now that I39。m healthy, there39。s nothing in it for you. Cameron: You are not healthy. [House continues smiling.] Cuddy wants to see you. (Scene changes to Cuddy39。s office.) Cuddy: You39。ve been back at work 24 hours and you39。re already playing hide and seek in a woman39。s spine. House:
