All language subtitles for House - [7x02] - Selfish

Let's hear it for Della Carr.

Dude, your sister kicks serious ass.

Competed in the boy's league this year.

Kicked their asses too.

Nice job, Del. You...

I went faster on the 50-50.

You were right.

All right, who wants next ?

Yeah, yeah, I'm a little biased.

Whoo !

Whoa !

Custom decks.

Start the bidding at 400 bucks.

Trust me, the kids'll force
their parents to buy them.

You got to see this.

You made a great event today, hon.

Fast enough for you ?

I'm already in a wheelchair.

What are you so afraid of ?

That wasn't what I meant.

Della ? You okay ?

Mom ! Dad !

We got to stop parking like this.

People are gonna talk.

Well, that's why I plan on
doing some talking first.

I want us to formerly
report our relationship

to Human Resources.

Okay. You get them, I'll
cover everybody else.

I would appreciate it

if we could keep it quiet
until we had that meeting.

It's gonna be hard with me
grabbing your ass all day.

Grabbing stops at the threshold.

Of the parking garage.

Handicapped plates.

I got special access.

I just don't want our
relationship affecting our jobs.

Or the other way around.

Why, Dr. Cuddy, how was your weekend ?

I got a call about a case for you.

EMTs think her heart stopped...

Sounds great.

You haven't seen it yet.

I sense something fascinating about it.

I'm gonna get us in to
see HR this afternoon.

Think you can hold
your tongue till then ?

Mom...

Fine.

People are gonna know soon enough.

I think I can hold it till lunch.

I'm seeing Cuddy.

Generally, without her clothes on.

Use your imagination.

Hope it's got a wide-angle lens.

You don't actually need that.

I'm gonna check my office
for whoopee cushions.

This is not a prank.

This is not me walking out the door.

Really ? You and Cuddy ?

For reals. Foreman can translate.

So junior miss everything...

skateboarder, basketballer,
science clubber, seal clubber...

I'm actually guessing
with that last one.

Healthy one day, heart
arrhythmia the next.

Are you sure it a good idea

to be yanking on the chain of command ?

Way to go, House.

I'm surprised you two
didn't get together sooner.

EKG, echo and head CT are all spotless.

There's nothing on
her neurological exam.

Interesting.

In favor, indignant, indifferent.

Think I'd like a female perspective.

Or Thirteen's. Where is she ?
- She's gone.

She said she was taking
a leave of absence.

Wanted us to think it was for
a Huntington's study in Rome.

They've never heard of her.

Cell and home phone are disconnected.

Apartment's already been vacated.

And what's with the death's head cane ?

They didn't have a death's
ass cane in my size.

Well, I guess we'll just have to wait.

Conditions that cause
intermittent heart arrhythmias.

Taub.

Three years, you've been
trying to game out Thirteen,

and now you don't care ?

Sorry. Not caring about Thirteen

is not part of the differential
for heart arrhythmia,

but you do get a home
version of the game.

Patient's brother has severe,

congenital muscular dystrophy.

Life expectancy of about 25.

If she's had a latent case of it...

Wouldn't be sudden onset. Foreman.

Do you know something about
Thirteen that we don't ?

She's entitled to her privacy.

Just as I'm entitled to a diagnosis.

And you're glossing
over Thirteen's departure

because you actually
respect somebody's privacy ?

I agree. It's weird of me not to care.

So either I'm a changed
man because of Cuddy,

or I'm pretending to be a changed man

because I do know
something about Thirteen

and I'm trying to
throw you off the scent,

or I've just gone nutty bananas
because I lost a patient.

All of which you are free to discuss

after I get a diagnosis.

If it's Long QT Syndrome,

any startling stimulus
in that skate park

could have triggered the arrhythmia.

Loud noise, flashing lights.

Scare the patient to
death to confirm Long QT.

Fine. If you insist,

do it in a room with
one of those thingamabobs

that brings people back to life.

Scare test is insane.

Scare test is legitimate.

Simulates real world conditions.

This fling with Cuddy is insane.

Flare gun ? Scary enough ?

How about just telling her
we're planning this stupid test ?

And I'm hoping House and Cuddy
are more than just a fling.

It's clearly mellowed him out.

He didn't even care about Thirteen.

Right. The guy who ordered us

to stop the patient's
heart has mellowed out.

It's gonna be horrible
because it's doomed,

which is just gonna make House

50 times more of a crank.

Firecrackers.

We can hide 'em under one
of those covered food trays.

Find any itching powder in your hanky ?

Any fake poo in your desk drawer ?

Yes, the lack of dime-store pranks

is proof that you're
actually dating Cuddy,

and not just mocking me

for being worried about you.

What do I have to do
to prove this to you ?

Tattoo a cane on her inner thigh ?

Tattoo her inner thigh on my cane ?

You told everybody, didn't you ?

Repeatedly.

This one's not buying it.

Need a little help.

I'm not selling it.

It's time for our meeting
at Human Resources.

Hmm. Human Resources.

Now, why would I need to
go to Human Resources ?

House, you've been to Human Resources

74 times in the last six weeks.

Never after doing this.

Well, I'm convinced.

Come on. One peck.

Just enough to arouse him a little.

I... hey, I'm not even...

I didn't mean you.

If I confirm it, can we leave ?

Yes.

It's true.

I've been more passionate

with my great aunt.

Mabel ? Up high.

We done here ?

She didn't even ask me to cough.

Think you straightened
out my limp a little.

How would you describe

the exact nature of the relationship ?

You ever see Wild Kingdom ?

Those insects that rip
their partner's heads off

after copulating ?

It's a sexual relationship.

Go slowly now.

He's writing it down.

I believe that I can still

supervise Dr. House effectively,

but we both want to
follow hospital policy

to the letter.

Our concern is to make sure

that there's no conflict of interest,

no liability for the hospital.

You think we're gonna
sue if things go South ?

Let me tell you. She actually does go...

House.

Let him talk.

I, uh, know that
you're not going to sue,

because you are both going
to sign love contracts.

Consensual relationship agreements.

Well, obviously outside council

will have to review the
crotchless undies clause.

Uh, we'll also need to watch

for any favoritism toward Dr. House.

Does that mean she has
to sleep with everyone ?

I promise not to give
him a raise or a promotion

of any kind.

There's got to be a joke there

about keeping up with inflation.

Or bias against him.

Are there any supervisory issues

with Dr. House's current case load ?

No, her case is solved.

Patient has Long QT.

Gonna scare her into
cardiac arrest to confirm it.

No, we're not.

Okay, no, we're not.

See ? Everything's under control.

I know you're still planning
your ridiculous scare test.

The patient is nowhere near sick enough

to justify the risk.

An angiogram and an E.P. study

are much safer and very effective.

Fair point. Not doing the scare test.

I'd invite you to watch
me not doing the test,

but having not done
it many times before,

trust me, it's pretty not interesting.

House ?

Scare test was not approved.

Do an angio and E.P. study instead.

First of all, that's
not as effective as...

How come you're not doing
the more specialized test ?

This test is virtually
just as effective.

And Dr. House puts a
premium on patient safety.

But frequently changes his mind.

Hugo, give him a break. I'm fine.

You should go to the
bathroom before we go.

We've been hydrating
you for quite a while.

I don't have to pee.

Once we start the test,

you won't be able to
move for at least an hour.

I really don't have to pee.

How much fluid have we given her ?

2.5 liters.

When's the last time you
went to the bathroom ?

Last night, I guess.

What does that mean ?

Your daughter's kidneys
seem to be failing.

So what could cause her heart to stop

and her urine not to drop ?

House, I was expecting
your relationship with Cuddy

to complicate our work long-term.

I am now concerned it might
be affecting us short-term.

All due respect.

None taken.

I listen to Cuddy all the time.

She's my boss. Also yours, by the way.

You'd listen, then tell
her she's being an idiot,

and do whatever you want.

I find I can skip the idiot part

when she's not being an idiot,

and since the scare test

would have led to the same dead end,

she was right to stop it.

Which means your problem's about you.

This should be interesting.

Losers love company.

And if even a misanthrope like me

has a chance at happiness,

it's gonna be pretty lonely

on that landfill of loserdom

you call a marriage.

Heart, kidneys, go.

Could be Fabry disease.

Lipid deposition in her tissues.

Dad's history was clean.

What about protein deposits ?

They wouldn't show in
her parents' history.

Amyloidosis.

Explains both the symptoms.

Marrow transplant to treat.

Brother's a match.

Confirm and do.

I been experiencing fatigue,

and... and weakness.

Wouldn't have anything
to do with the fact

that you're... 102 years old.

Usually he's strong as an ox.

102-year-old
ox.

He has tingling in
his feet and his legs.

I want a full battery of tests.

Carbon dating ?

I'll pay cash if it's not covered.

That's nice of you to float your friend.

He's not my friend. He's my father.

He's 22 years older than me.

Well, that's true, he's
definitely had his jowls done.

Statistically, if he
didn't have these symptoms,

he'd be like most people of his age...

dead for the past several decades.

Do the tests. I'm sick.

You have a bad case of natural causes.

Do the damn tests.

If the vial fills with sand,

we take that as a bad sign.

Hugo should be here.

Why'd you ask him to leave ?

We wanted to be able
to discuss this openly.

But it obviously affects him.

Honey, let the doctor finish.

It's a standard procedure.

We use general anesthesia,

harvest a very small amount of...

No. I'm not taking my brother's marrow.

Del, it's...

These harvests are harmless.

With the meds we give,

there's almost no pain,

almost no risk of infection.

Almost ?

His life's hard enough as it is.

Small problem with the treatment.

Patient won't take
marrow from steel wheels ?

We're finding another match.

And how do you know ?

What other problem could there be

with a problem-free procedure ?

Boy's sports, science club,

she's living his life, not hers.

Makes sense she's being
a self-denying moron.

She loves her brother.

She's thinking selflessly.

How is that at all...

Being moronic ?

Mm. If I can only think

of a harm-free medical treatment

she turned down lately.

You're right.

If everyone were more selfish,

the world would be a better place.

See ? I can skip the idiot part

when you're not being an idiot.

Yeah, I had that same facial expression

for the first 48 hours.

Had another one too,

but only for 15 seconds at a time.

I'm happy for you. You're happy for you.

This is huge.

So who's gonna supervise you ?

Cuddy.

Well, I guess maybe that can work.

Maybe ? Nothing's changed.

You showed up for clinic
hours. Voluntarily.

Fine. A little bit has changed.

House, everything's changed.

You're sleeping together.

You want something from her

besides a sign-off on
scaring your patient to death.

You talked to Taub.

He's worried about you.

He's a jerk.

I'm worried too.

Do I need to say it ?

I want this to work.

I'm not doing anything differently.

She changed my mind
about one diagnostic test.

And she was right.

Even though it's your emotional default,

stop worrying.

I can handle it.

I hear you're a pretty
fierce skateboarder.

I do okay.

All your activities,

don't they seem like things

a 16-year-old
boy would do ?

Some people might think

you're trying to live his life for him.

I am. Sort of.

Um, I got into skateboarding

when some of Hugo's classmates did,

and he realized he could never do it.

It's the same with a lot of things.

We live through it together.

And you're not worried
you're being selfless

to the point of self-denial ?

You've never been inspired by someone ?

Why don't you take your pills ?

Need some help in here.

Hemothorax. We need to bronch her now.

Clear an O.R.

She's drowning in her own blood.

It's not amyloidosis.

She's bleeding to death.

Out of her lung.

I want to fill a
quarter of it with foam.

That'd stop the bleeding, all right.

Thought it made more sense
than diet and exercise.

And if she doesn't have
enough lung function left,

you'll have killed her.

The only alternative is
slowly suturing the lung,

hoping that the bleeding stops in time

and she doesn't die on her own.

But we would walk away with clean hands.

Except for all the blood.

You're right.

Faster and riskier's better.

Foam the lung.

Got a green light ?

No. Suture the lung.

Scalpel, rib spreader.

I can't handle it.

What happened ?

She said "yes," and I heard "no".

I didn't actually hear "no".

But I just... Was sure
that's what she meant.

Way she tilted her head
and half-arched her eyebrow.

What do I even care what she meant ?

She said yes. That's all that matters.

I'm screwing this up.

It's not completely bad, House.

You care enough to pull your punches.

That's not a bad thing.

But you and Cuddy have
got to figure out a way

of avoiding this problem.

Set some ground rules.

Yeah.

I have to avoid this problem.

If I can restrict our interactions

to places where neither
of us are wearing pants...

Yeah, that's not avoiding the problem,

that's avoiding the issue.

Since avoidance is my plan
for dealing with the issue,

technically, that's not avoiding it.

Thanks.

No problem.

Stitching worked.

This time.

No guarantee bowing to Cuddy

will work next time.

Heart arrhythmia, kidney failure,

and now bleeding lung.

I don't want to criticize
your girlfriend, but...

hey, you've been on me for years

to respect someone's opinion.

Just 'cause I had to
go outside this group

to find one I respect.

Multi-system involvement

centered in the lung.

Sarcoidosis ?

Doesn't explain the hemothorax.

Tb can affect all three organs.

Skin test was negative.

What about Goodpasture's ?

Affects the lungs, kidneys.

And autoimmune explains the
out of the blue arrhythmia.

Goodpasture's it is.

Immunosuppressants and
plasmapheresis to treat,

kidney biopsy to confirm.

Dr. House.

Don't tell me, your father's
hairline is receding,

and he needs more tests.

He's 102.

His next test is an autopsy.

Look, I love the old man,

but I got to get him
out of the damn House.

He can't do anything without me.

He needs to be in a care facility.

Well, so tell him. He's a big boy now.

I can't. I'm his whole life.

But if it comes from a doctor...

That's very generous. When you were 30.

Pretend to run the tests,

and then tell him...

He can't live with me anymore.

I didn't run into you all afternoon.

I missed you.

Busy day.

Maybe we should plan on lunch tomorrow.

Problem is, at lunch
you tend to wear tops.

This is much better.

Cuddy and I are naked.

So I'm having trouble focusing.

Use small words.

Kidney bioy was clean,

so we rechecked the piece
of her lung from the O.R.

You lost me.

Sorry, who is this calling again ?

It's not Goodpasture's.

There's intimal thickening
of the blood vessels.

And lymphocytic infiltrate.

We tested for lam. It's positive.

Plus her lung's fried.

She needs a donor lung to live,

which is the only
treatment for lam, anyway.

Taub's gone to the transplant committee.

They may have found a donor lung.

So this call is purely expositional.

I should really get dressed.

I told the nanny I'd be home by 9:00.

And I slipped the nanny 40 bucks,

told her to stay till 10:00.

Really ?

Mm-hmm, really.

Good news.

Surgery was uneventful,

but the donor lung started failing

about an hour into recovery.

We know we're right about lam.

Tests confirmed it.

That leaves us with two options.

Body's rejecting the new lung

or we should have rejected the new lung

because it's infected.

Let's biopsy, see which one it is.

No guarantee

we'd hit the affected spot.

If we give steroids for rejection,

it'd make an infection worse.

If we give antibiotics for infection,

it'd make rejection worse.

Which worse is worse ?

If we treat for
infection and we're wrong,

she'll be dead within hours.

And if we treat for
rejection and we're wrong ?

She'll probably hang on a day or two.

You're assuming her
rejection's hyperacute.

Odds are, it isn't.

Gotta head off the worst worse first.

I studied under Dr. Seuss.

Start with iv methylprednisolone
for hyperacute rejection.

If that fails, we'll switch her
to broad-spectrum antibiotics

and hope we're not too late.

Cat got your legs ?

We just decided to give meds

that could kill the
patient based on a guess.

You need approval from Cuddy,

and she'll want to
take the safer course,

and you're gonna fold like
an origami crane, so...

I'll just wait here till
we get our actual orders.

Fine. You do it.

Tell her she's being an idiot

for always choosing the safer course.

She's sitting on her ample, if
well-formed, bureaucratic ass

while our patient's dying.

We'll see who folds
like an origami shrimp.

You want me to get Cuddy's approval ?

I gotta be somewhere important.

Sitting at your desk ?

I'm running late.

Forget the tests.

I think junior might have a
few words to say about that.

I love him, but he can't let go.

40 bucks says he can.

I can't do anything
without him helping me

like I'm senile.

If I go back there, I'm
gonna rip his throat out.

You sure you won't warm
up to him over time ?

Skip the blood work.

Tell my son it's grim news.

I need to be in a nursing home.

A private room.

Make it a suite.

Be our little secret.

I sit around on my bureaucratic ass ?

I was relaying your words.

I said well-formed.
I said well-formed !

What were you...

I needed to be aggressive.
You're an idiot.

She was siding with Foreman's analysis.

The odds are against it
being hyperacute rejection.

Stop.

I agree with you.

That was our analysis from the start.

If you've got a problem
with a team decision,

you come to me.

I'm sorry. I
- I'll deal with him later.

I said well-formed.

People who have not seen Cuddy naked

should not throw stones.

She does have great cans.

Cuddy has House on such a short leash,

she might as well start
giving him chew toys.

Let's give the antibiotics
at least another hour.

Amazing. And House hasn't
given you one ounce of grief

for your complete lack of
interest in his love life ?

Did it ever occur to you
that House is just happy

and could give a crap
about other people's lives

because of it ?

Well, that's ironic and depressing.

And by that logic,

the reason you don't give a crap

is because you're happy,

which means you've got someone new

giving you chew toys.

You're 1/4th right.

Wait.

Are you saying...

You're dating four women ?

BP's dropping.

Means the antibiotics aren't working.

Put her in trendelenburg.
Can you save the lung ?

Believe it or not, we
got a better chance now.

This means rejection, not infection.

Start her on iv
methylprednisolone right away.

Wow.

You hate salad.

She's really got you tied up in knots.

I caved. Through an intermediary.

I need a plan "C".

What you need is a plan
that you actually develop

with Cuddy.

Antibiotics didn't work and
then steroids didn't work.

The new lung's ruined,

and it's not rejection or infection.

The only two options were wrong.

Unless it's not lam.

It is lam. The tests were positive.

Then the tests have to be wrong.

Deep-fryer's working again.

Still working on that ?

No, it was here when I sat down.

I need to think.

I want to make sure
you're trying everything

to save my sister.

Everything ?

Well, that must be it.

See, I thought you guys
checked the box marked,

"try every other thing".

I'm the one that's
supposed to die first.

I'm the damaged one, not her.

She never even gets a cold.

Damage has a way of spreading
to everyone around you.

For example, your
obvious emotional damage

is now making me have a
philosophical conversation

instead of dealing with your sister.

See how that might be damaging ?

Never ?

When was the last time you had a cold ?

Any minor aches, swelling, anything ?

It's been years.

She never gets colds.

I didn't ask when's the
last time she mentioned it.

I asked when she had
one... even a tiny one.

It's nothing.

Sometimes my ears ache a little.

So now tell me the rest of the nothing.

M
- my chest...

Soreness.

Some congestion.

You never said anything about that.

I barely noticed it

until that skateboarding
tournament in Denver.

How long ago ?

A... Year ?

Cold's nothing when I think of

what Hugo goes through every day.

Yeah, we get it. Your
brother, the Saint.

His sister, the martyr.

Thank God you followed me.

Now you can go back to
the transplant committee

while I get confirmation.

Confirmation of what ?

What causes low-level
cold symptoms for a year,

can ruin two lungs, is
immune to drug therapies,

and gets worse in cities
nicknamed mile-high ?

A clotting disorder ?

She has a nasty case
of sickle cell trait.

Her heart arrhythmia
wasn't sudden at all.

Screwed-up blood cells
screwed up the blood vessels

which gave us a screwed-up
positive for lam.

If she'd told us about her
symptoms sooner... like ever...

she might not be dying.

You were right after all.

I never said sickle...

if everyone were more selfish,

the world would be a better place.

So she's gonna die.

Unless we can find...

she burned through one donor lung.

Transplant committee's never
gonna give her a second one.

Well, then I guess you're right again.

Unless we don't need their approval.

You can't advise your patient's parents

to take marrow and half
a lung from their son !

I guess I can just chat
with them about the weather.

Blood tests just confirmed
sickle cell trait.

So they might be curious about
the only treatment option.

Though we are having
weird weather lately.

There is a huge reason not to take lungs

from living patients.

So their siblings can die ?

Their son has cmd.

As it is, he's gonna die of
respiratory failure by 25.

We could cut whatever
time he has left in half.

That qualifies as a bad reason
for them to reject the idea.

It's a much worse reason for
them not to get the choice.

It's coercive to tell them !

You ever hear of "do no harm" ?

That was second year, right ?

'Cause I had mono all that fall.

Their son's not even our patient.

Why don't we just take half a lung

from some guy in the
clinic with a toothache ?

That's a great idea.

Now we can give the parents two options.

We don't compromise
one life for another.

Okay.

Okay ?

Seriously.

You made an argument.

If you don't want me to defer to you,

why make it at all ?

But are you deferring to me

just because we're seeing each other ?

Maybe.

Yeah. I think so.

This is screwing me up.

Why is it not screwing you up ?

It is.

I don't know why I okayed
you foaming that lung.

I realized it was wrong
as soon as I said it.

I knew it !

I knew 'cause you tilted your head.

House... We are screwing this up.

I'm gonna call HR,

find someone else to
supervise you as soon as I can.

I've got your...

Test results.

You have the metabolism, blood counts,

liver and kidney
function of a 92-year-old.

Which is great, 'cause you're 102.

What's not so great

is the average life expectancy is 78.

It is my recommendation
that you move into a home

with
round-the-clock care.

Oh...

I can't believe it !

Can't my son give me
round-the-clock care ?

Not unless you've done
your two-year certification

in tiburon swab technology.

There must be some other way.

Just because he has a little tingling

and some trouble feeling hot and cold

and some difficulty... you
can't feel hot and cold ?

Not lately. But at my age...

Show me your teeth.

Dentures. Fairly worn.

I'm guessing ten years old.

Show me your denture cream.

Why would he carry denture cream ?

Because...

He has...

Zinc poisoning.

But to get it from denture cream,

he'd have to take so much of it...

trust me, he never
leaves home without it.

How much do you use, pop ?

About a tube a day. I buy it online.

So what does this mean ?

Bizarrely, it explains
all your symptoms.

Better-fitting
dentures, you'll be fine.

Medically, there's no
reason to go anywhere.

Hospital rebate.

You might wanna...

Put it towards couples therapy.

The transplant committee's...

Never gonna give my daughter
another lung, are they ?

No.

Are there any other options ?

We're looking into it.

Looking into what ?

Please.

Tell me.

Give me some kind of hope.

I'm afraid I can't do that.

We're talking about my daughter's life.

What can't you tell me ?

If there's any...
Chance you can save her,

anything you can try...

We can take marrow and
half a lung from your son.

It would likely shorten
his life significantly.

He'd never be able to go on
a respirator if he needed to.

Most people with cmd need to

as their respiratory function declines.

How long...

Do we have to decide ?

Morning at the latest.

Thank you.

Where are my parents ?

They're probably dealing with
committee issues or something.

They were arguing.

I saw my mom crying.

Looked like my dad was yelling at her.

They care about you a lot.

Hugo was a marrow match ?

We're way past that now.

They want a lung from him too.

Is that what this is about ?

No. It's nothing you
need to worry about.

Everybody's working on getting
you the best care possible.

How do they expect us
to go on from here ?

We make a choice... And we live with it.

There's no living with it.

No matter what we decide.

Still cold and clammy. She
had a respiratory arrest.

Oh, my God !

What is she doing here ?

She figured out what was going on.

She's pinking up.

She must have yanked
off her ivs and oxygen.

Came here to die.

By unhooking herself from everything,

she delivered a hypoxic
insult to her body

that started a downward spiral.

If you're gonna make a decision,

you're running out of time.

Hr can't find you a new supervisor.

How come ?

Because you're unsupervisable, House.

Two department chairs
threatened to quit.

Well, I guess we're
stuck with each other.

I have no idea why I'm making this call

or if it's the right call to make.

But if you feel strongly

about presenting the parents
your treatment option,

you can do it.

Thank you, I will.

Several hours ago.

You told them ?

I told him. He came to my office.

I'm sorry.

Well... I should probably
be more mad at you.

Yeah.

Dr. House ?

We've decided.

We're not gonna take
the lung from my son.

She's still on the waiting list.

We're gonna do whatever we
can do find her another...

what ginormous crack pipe

have you people been sucking on ?

House ! Are you gonna pretend

that you're not choosing
your own daughter's death ?

Our daughter doesn't want it.

Probably doesn't wanna
floss her teeth either.

She's a mindless teenybopper.

Don't put this on them. What do you
mean, put it on ? It is on them !

As much as they may
wanna pass the lung here !

Of course they do !

You're handing them
an impossible choice.

Life has handed them a crappy choice,

and they're picking
the crappier option...

trading who knows how
many healthy decades

for four or five years in which
roller boy will be a limp rag.

Not everything is a math
equation. Do you need me

to explain the difference
between decade and year ?

Their son is a human being.

You know what they are, right ?

Intrinsic value. We
don't get to decide...

and we do it every day.
If the two of them needed

the same lung... he needs
to keep the one he's got.

You don't get to play
God by ripping out...

that train left the station when
we learned to do transplants.

The rest is just paper-pushing.

Of course, now we're on to
your real area of expertise.

Oh, I thought we were
moving on to yours...

bullying your patients

into embracing your
own lack of a moral...

Hugo. Honey.

We didn't mean for you
to hear any of this.

Hugo, please !

I want you to take half my lung.

No.

I'm not.

You do so many great things.

I just watch.

I get to watch and coach and cheer.

But that's not me out there.

It never will be.

If you take this piece of me,

carry it with you...

Then I really can share
in everything you do.

This is the great thing

I can do with my life.

Don't make me live without you.

We got lucky.

I did give them an impossible choice.

The kid took it away from them.

That fight...

Was the first honest interaction

you and I have had since
we came back to work.

If we are painfully, brutally
honest with each other,

maybe we'll get lucky again.

You've got a big ass.
