[rock music inside club]

ROMAN EMPERORS WERE
THE REAL PUNKS.

DON'T SAY "PUNK."
IT'S CLICHE.
WHATEVER.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT
THESE DINNER PARTIES.

NERO LOVED
A GOOD POISONING.
[coughing]

AT A DINNER PARTY?

HE'D ARRANGE ONE...

I DON'T FEEL LIKE
GOING ON TONIGHT.

TOO BAD.

'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT
MAKES THE CLUB

FEEL LIKE PAYING US.

TITUS--THIS IS ALL
IN THE BOOK.

TITUS WOULD PLY HIS GUESTS
WITH WINE,

THEN BIND THEIR PRIVATES
WITH A CORD.

HEY!

DID YOU GET A NEW GUITAR?

'64 TEARDROP RE-ISSUE.

NOT A MARK ON IT.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S SEE IT.

YEAH, IT'S NICE.

HEY! HEY! HEY!

HEY, CUT IT OUT, MAN!

YOU STUPID SON OF A--
COME ON! HEY!

IT'S A HUNK OF WOOD, BRO!

IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE
A HUNK OF WOOD.

WE'RE NOT THE PHILHARMONIC.

SEE, LOOK, MAN,
IT'S BETTER ALREADY.

HEY!
IT'S 10:45.

HOW 'BOUT TAKING THAT
ONSTAGE?

NOW I FEEL LIKE GOING ON.

[rock music playing inside]

[sharp deep breaths]

[cheers and applause inside]

[coughing]

OH...UHH!

[kicking trash bin loudly]

[coughing]

[groaning]

[Massive Attack's Teardrop]

YOU'RE MY CHILD,
AND SO ARE THE QUADRUPLETS.

AND I'M NOT GONNA
GIVE ANY OF YOU UP.

(man)
DON'T YOU...
TALK TO ME AS A MOTHER.

SIGN ON THE DOOR SAYS
"CLOSED FOR PRIVATE EVENT."

YOU'RE ALONE.

HOW MUCH MORE PRIVATE
CAN YOU GET?

CAN YOU PASS ME A TISSUE?

WHO ARE YOU KEEPING?

YOU OWED ME A DECISION
TEN DAYS AGO.

TOTAL AMNESIA.

(woman)
NEARLY TOOK AWAY THE ONLY
PARENT YOU EVER HAD.

YOU'RE MY WHOLE LIFE.
YOU.

LUISA MARIA CAN'T DECIDE

IF SHE'S GONNA KEEP
THE QUADRUPLETS.

[television off]

SHE KEEPS THEM.

I READ IT ONLINE.

YOU HAPPY NOW?
I RUINED IT FOR YOU.

- I WANT TWO NAMES BY FRIDAY.
- FINE.

I'LL ARRANGE FOR A PATIENT
WITH A MYSTERIOUS ILLNESS

TO COME IN ON THURSDAY.

YES, YOU NEED
MORE TESTS.

IT'S ONLY BEEN TWO MONTHS.

WHO KNOWS HOW THEY'LL REACT
TO FREAK WEATHER PATTERNS?

THEY ALL DID FINE
IN THE WIND TUNNEL.

TWO NAMES BY FRIDAY,

OR THE PAY OVERRUNS
COME OUT OF YOUR SALARY.

[television on]

(Luisa Maria)
I CAN HURT YOU.

I KNOW THAT NOW.

AND I MOVE YOUR PARKING SPACE
TO THE "E" LOT.

(man)
DON'T EVER LEAVE ME, MOM.

[television off]

HEY, WHO'S THE SICKEST PATIENT
YOU'VE GOT?

I'VE GOT A GUY WHO'LL BE DEAD
IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES.

OH, YOU MEAN SOMEONE WHO MIGHT
ACTUALLY SURVIVE A DIAGNOSIS.

THERE'S NOTHING HERE.

JUST THE USUAL CRACKED HEADS,
GUNSHOTS, FALSE ALARMS.

WHO WOULD YOU PICK TO FILL
YOUR NARROW LITTLE FLATS?

SO YOU CAN FIRE THEM
OFF OF MY RECOMMENDATION?

NICE TRY.

(man)
HEY, WHO DO I HAVE TO GROPE

TO GET SOME TURN-DOWN SERVICE
IN HERE?

JIMMY QUIDD.

HE IS A PUNK ROCK SINGER.

PUNK ROCK STAR TO YOU.

REPEATED TRAUMA,

SELF-CUTTING, FEVER,
ARTHRALGIA,

HYPER-INFLATED CHEST,
FATIGUE, ANEMIA.

BLOOD IN THE STOOL
AND URINE.

I'VE DIED AND GONE
TO DIAGNOSTIC HEAVEN.

HIS BLOOD RESULTS SHOW
BOOZE, COCAINE,

AMPHETAMINES, OPIATES.

THE ONLY MYSTERY HERE IS
HOW HE MADE IT TO BE 38.

I'M 28.

AND HE LIES.

AND HE'S A PAIN IN THE ASS.

- HEY, COME--
- WRAP HIM UP.

I'LL TAKE HIM TO GO.

DIZZYING ARRAY OF SYMPTOMS.

ANY OF WHICH COULD BE CAUSED
BY DRUGS, TRAUMA, BEING A LOSER.

(Foreman)
THE GUY'S A WALKING PHARMACY.
COULD BE ANYTHING.

OH, FORGOT TO MENTION...

FINAL CASE.

GET IT RIGHT, YOU'RE HIRED.

RUNNER-UP WILL BE DECIDED
STRICTLY

ON SOME DEFINITION OF MERIT.

ENDOCARDITIS.

HEMORRHAGIC LESIONS
IN THE LUNGS AND GUT.

BRONCHIOLITIS OBLITERANS.

HE SMOKED HIS AIRWAYS
INTO OBLIVION.

- ENDOCARDITIS.
- I ALREADY SAID THAT.

I'D HEARD OF IT
BEFORE YOU MENTIONED IT.

SPEED COUNTS.
FIND SOMETHING ELSE.

COULD BE BACTERIAL MENINGITIS.

- YOU ALREADY PICKED.
- I'LL TAKE MENINGITIS.

TOO LATE.
GO RUN YOUR TESTS.

NO, HE'S SICK
'CAUSE HE'S A DRUG ADDICT.

NO, HE HAS EVERY SYMPTOM
YOU'D EXPECT OF A DRUG ADDICT.

SO YOU THINK IT'S ALL
TOO PERFECT?

SOME OTHER DISEASE IS TRYING
TO THROW US OFF ITS TRAIL?

IF HE HAD 4
OUT OF 20 POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS,

HE'D BE A GARDEN-VARIETY
DRUGGIE.

20 OUT OF 20,
THERE'S AN UNDERLYING DISEASE.

RUN YOUR TESTS.

NO.

HE'S WEAK, IN WITHDRAWAL,
JUST SPEWED BLOOD.

THEY'RE GONNA RIP OFF
A PIECE OF HIS LUNG,

RAM INSTRUMENTS
DOWN HIS THROAT,

AND ROTO-ROOTER HIS INTESTINES.

IT'D BE NICE
IF WE DIDN'T KILL HIM

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT'S KILLING HIM.

ONE DIAGNOSIS,
ONE TEST AT A TIME.

O2 STATS ARE LOW.

HYPER-INFLATED CHEST.
I NEED A BRONCHOSCOPY TO--

- YOU JUST LOST TWO POINTS.
- WHAT FOR?

FOR THINKING IT MAKES
A DIFFERENCE WHO GOES FIRST.

ONLY ONE PERSON
CAN BE RIGHT.

WHAT POINTS?

CAN'T HAVE AN OBJECTIVE SYSTEM
OF MEASUREMENT WITHOUT NUMBERS.

YOU LOSE THREE
FOR NOT KNOWING THAT.

FROM NOW ON, ONLY THE PERSON
HOLDING THIS

CAN TREAT OR RUN TESTS.

I WANTED TO GIVE YOU
THE SERPENT STAFF

WITH THE POISON AXE HEAD,
BUT I LEFT IT IN MY CAR.

DON'T NEED YOU.

IT'S ONE THING TO HIRE
BASED ON A GAME.

DON'T NEED YOUR LECTURE.

IT'S INSANE TO TREAT
BASED ON A GAME.

YOU'RE NOT TAKING
THE LONG VIEW.

THE ONE WHERE WE STUFF
ANOTHER PATIENT IN A BODY BAG?

NO, IF WE'RE WRONG,
IT'LL COME PRETTY FAST.

THE LONG VIEW IS THE ONE
WHERE WE PICK THE BEST TEAM.

THAT WAY WE CAN USE
ALL THE BAGS WE SAVE

FOR GROCERY SHOPPING.

YOU'RE NOT BUYING
THAT ARGUMENT, ARE YOU?
- NO.

IN WHICH CASE, I'M BACK
TO MY ORIGINAL POSITION.

DON'T NEED YOU.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF AMBER?

I SCREWED UP A DIAGNOSIS.

YOU DON'T SEEM
THAT UPSET BY IT.

DIAGNOSED A GUY
WITH ADENOCARCINOMA

THREE MONTHS AGO.

TOLD HIM HE HAD SIX MONTHS.

SO NOW YOU'VE GOT TO TELL HIM
THAT HE'S WAY BEHIND

ON HIS CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

HE DIDN'T GET WORSE.

I RE-CHECKED EVERYTHING.

BIOPSY WAS A FALSE POSITIVE.

HARMLESS LESIONS

CAUSE BY TALC INHALATION.

MEDICAL CLEMENCY.
INTERESTING.

WHY WOULD YOU USE
THAT WORD?

BECAUSE I'M INTERESTED.

WHEN I'M INTERESTED,

I DESCRIBE THE THINGS
THAT MAKE ME INTERESTED

AS INTERESTING.

MOST PEOPLE WOULD SAY GOOD,
POSSIBLY GREAT.

WHY AREN'T YOU ABLE
TO JUST ENJOY--

WHY AREN'T OTHER PEOPLE ABLE
TO JUST BE INTERESTED?

IS HE IN THERE?
YEAH.

WHY'D YOU GO RIGHT FOR
THE DRUG THEORIES?

IF HE HAD A HISTORY OF
SHOVING CANCER INTO HIS VEINS,

I'D HAVE GUESSED CANCER.

OKAY.
YOU'RE AN IDIOT.

EITHER THAT OR YOU'VE DECIDED
YOU CAN TRUST A SMOKING ADDICT

ALONE IN A BATHROOM
WITH AN OXYGEN TANK.

[explosion]

[groaning]

I GOT YOUR NEW
TEST RESULTS BACK.

SORRY I'M LATE.

WHO'S YOUR COLLEAGUE?

DR. HOUSE...

YES, DR. WILSON?

I REALLY DON'T NEED
THE CONSULT.

I KNOW THE PROGNOSIS.

APPARENTLY NOT.

MR. McKENNA,

I CAN'T BELIEVE
I'M ABLE TO SAY THIS,

BUT...YOU'RE CANCER-FREE.

THE BIOPSY LOOKED LIKE
ADENOCARCINOMA,

BUT IT WASN'T.

HARMLESS LESIONS
ON YOUR LUNGS.

YOU'RE FINE.

[chuckles]

I DON'T GET IT.

COOL.

NO, IT'S--IT'S--

I KNOW THIS MUST COME
AS A SHOCK,

BUT I'VE DOUBLE-CHECKED
THE LABS.

I JUST ACCEPTED AN OFFER
ON MY HOUSE.

I'VE HAD THREE
GOOD-BYE PARTIES.

I'M BUYING PLANE TICKETS
TO VENICE.

YOU CAN STILL USE THOSE
IF YOU'RE ALIVE.

I HAVE TO PAY
A $6,000 BROKER COMMISSION

ON A HOUSE I'M NOT SELLING.

MONEY I DON'T HAVE.

THANK YOU...
FOR LETTING ME KNOW.

[door slams shut]

I-I-I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
THE LIVING WOULD MEAN MORE

THAN THE EXPENSES.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY.

I HAVE 17 POINTS?

I STARTED YOU ALL OUT
ON 100.

AND YOU BLEW UP
PART OF THE BUILDING.

WHERE'S FOREMAN?

- HE GOT PAGED.
- BY WHO?

- IS IT ABOUT OUR--
- BY ME.

I NEEDED HIM RIGHT AWAY.
SOMEWHERE ELSE.

WE'RE HIDING FROM FOREMAN?

FOREMAN ACCUSED ME
OF PLAYING GAMES

WITH PATIENT CARE.

- WHO GETS THE EYEBALL NEXT?
- I HAVEN'T RUN
MY TEST YET.

- IT STILL MIGHT BE
A LUNG ISSUE.
- YOU CAN'T RUN YOUR TEST.

THE PATIENT HAD
MASSIVE SMOKE INHALATION.

DO A BRONCHOSCOPY,
IT'LL SET OFF A LARYNGOSPASM.

I'LL DO AN OPEN-LUNG BIOPSY
INSTEAD.

YOU WANT AN INVASIVE SURGERY
BECAUSE YOU SCREWED UP?

THE PATIENT SNUCK
A CIGARETTE.

THE PATIENT IS AN ADDICT.

IT'S NOT HIS FAULT
HE'S JONESING

FOR WHATEVER HE CAN
GET HIS HANDS ON.

NOT HIS FAULT HE'S JONESING?

IN WHAT UNIVERSE
DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?

GET HIM ON A NICOTINE PATCH.

IT'LL KEEP UP
WITH HIS JONESES.

DO YOUR BIOPSY.

HOW'S THE NEW US'S
FINAL CASE GOING?

IT'S A MOVING TARGET.

HOUSE KEEPS MOVING IT
SO I CAN'T FIND IT.

SO...YOU'VE DECIDED TO FOCUS ON
SOLVING THE PROBLEM IN DARFUR.

TAUB IS IN THERE
PREPPING THE PATIENT

FOR A BIOPSY.

STAY CLOSE TO TAUB,
OR STAY CLOSE TO HOUSE.

AND STAY CLOSE
TO THE GAME.

I'M TRYING TO STOP
THE GAME.

THAT'S YOUR ROLE
IN THE GAME.

[pager vibrating]

YOU WANDER OVER HERE
TO ANNOY ME?

YOU'RE NOT WEARING
A LAB COAT.

HOUSE DOESN'T WEAR ONE,
DOES HE?

DAMN!

NOW WHEN I WALK AWAY,

IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE
I HAVE A REASON

OTHER THAN JUST ANNOYANCE.

AAA--EHH!

HE WON'T LET US FINISH
PREPPING HIM FOR THE BIOPSY.

[grunting and groaning]
- YOU TRY THE OTHER ARM?

THE PROBLEM'S NOT THE ARM,
IT'S THE ENTIRE PATIENT.

HI.

HE LET YOU CHECK HIS CHEST.

HE LET YOU DO ANYTHING
EXCEPT CHECK THAT ARM.

HE WALLPAPERED HIMSELF
WITH NICOTINE PATCHES.

REAL REBELLION
HAS A POINT.

IT'S NOT JUVENILE
AND PURPOSELESS.

MAYBE PURPOSELESSNESS
IS MY PURPOSE.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

AMBER...
IT'S NOT THE PATCHES.

HE'S GOT BLOOD CLOTS MOVING
THROUGH HIS BODY.

MEANS...

I WAS WRONG.

OH.

IF A CLOT REACHES HIS LUNGS
OR HIS HEART, IT'LL KILL HIM.

- IT'S TRUE.
- WE ALL KNOW IT'S TRUE.

YOU JUST WASTED OUR TIME.

- AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
- I'M NOT COMPETING.

- WHERE'S TAUB?
- FOREMAN WAS FOLLOWING HIM.

SO YOU PAGED TAUB.

DIDN'T SEE THAT
I HAD MUCH CHOICE.

HE HAS SCHISTOCYTES
IN HIS BLOOD SMEAR.

WHICH MEANS THE D.I.C.'s
CAUSING CLOTTING.

WHAT'S CAUSING THE D.I.C.?

DRUG IMPURITIES.

YOU LOST YOUR ROUND.

NEW SYMPTOM, NEW ROUND.
THIS HAS TO BE DRUG RELATED.

THIS IS HOW DOCTORS
KILL PATIENTS.

BY SEEING THE STEREOTYPE
INSTEAD OF THE TRUTH.

DRUG ADDICTS USE DRUGS
IS A STEREOTYPE?

DRUGS ARE BAD IS
A STEREOTYPE?

- LOSERS LOSE IS--
- MALARIA.

HE HASN'T LEFT THE COUNTRY
IN YEARS.

MALARIA'S RELAPSING/RECURRING.

FOR ALL WE KNOW HE COULD HAVE
BEEN SICK FOR YEARS.

IT EXPLAINS NOT JUST
THE D.I.C. AND THE BLEEDING,

BUT THE TIREDNESS, FEVER.

EVERYTHING WE ATTRIBUTED
TO DRUGS.

OH, YEAH,
IT'S MUCH MORE LIKELY

THAT THIS ASS PUNK ROCKER
WAS EXPOSED TO MALARIA

THAN DRUGS?

IF YOU WERE ALWAYS RIGHT,

THEN YOU WOULDN'T HAVE
JUST BEEN WRONG.

OR LET THE PATIENT
MAINLINE NICOTINE.

OR RAVAGED
MY ANATOMICAL MODEL,

WHICH GRANDMA HOUSE BOUGHT ME
WHEN I ACED MY MCATs.

A PHARMACEUTICAL REP
LEFT THAT HERE ON TUESDAY.

GRANDMA DOES
SOME PART-TIME WORK.

THE REP WAS
A 30-SOMETHING BABE.

THANK YOU.
I GOT HER HIPS.

CARRY IT WITH PRIDE.

MANIPULATIVE BITCH,
YOU'RE WANTED

IN THE LOSER'S CIRCLE.

WHY DO YOU HATE
DRUG ADDICTS?

YOUR SITUATION IS DIFFERENT.

YOU'RE TAKING
A NECESSARY PRESCRIPTION.

I KNOW...I'M FABULOUS.

AND I'M NOT THE PATIENT.

I'M NOT ALLOWED TO
HAVE A PROBLEM WITH JUNKIES?

YOU'RE ALLOWED.

THERE'S GOTTA BE A REASON.

HE'S A PATIENT.
YOU DON'T KNOW HIM.

BUT YOU HATE HIM.

HE'S THROWING HIS LIFE AWAY.

'CAUSE HE'S SETTING
HIS OWN TERMS?

NOT LIVING IN FEAR
OF EVERY POP QUIZ?

I THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT HIM.

WE WERE NEVER TALKING
ABOUT HIM.

WHY ARE YOU AFRAID TO LOSE?

ARE YOU GONNA FIRE ME
BECAUSE I LIKE TO WIN?

JUST WANT TO KNOW
THE REASON.

I WATCHED
THIS FOOTBALL GAME ONCE.

AND I NOTICED SOMETHING ODD.

THE WINNING TEAM WAS
THE HAPPY ONE.

I DID THE MATH.

OUR PATIENT'S HAPPY.

HE'S AN IDIOT.

HE'S A HAPPY IDIOT.

THAT SCREWS
WITH YOUR WORLD VIEW.

THERE'S SOMETHING FREEING ABOUT
BEING A LOSER, ISN'T THERE?

WHY ARE YOU AFRAID--

MOMMY DIDN'T LOVE ME ENOUGH.

DADDY EXPECTED
TOO MUCH FROM ME.

SOMETHING!

LET'S ASSUME THAT'S TRUE.

I GET HOW THAT CAN MAKE ME
A SCREWED-UP PERSON.

BUT HOW IS MY WILLINGNESS
TO DO ANYTHING

TO GET THE RIGHT ANSWER

BAD FOR MY PATIENTS?

OR PUT IN TERMS
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND,

HOW IS IT BAD FOR YOU?

(Thirteen)
I DIDN'T ASK YOU
TO PICK UP THE MEDS.

I'M TRYING TO BE
A GOOD COLLEAGUE.

YOU'RE TRYING
TO BOOST YOUR SCORE

BY PRESCRIBING DRUGS
FOR HOUSE.

WHY ELSE WOULD YOU HAVE
A SECOND BAG?

DIDN'T SAY GOOD COLLEAGUE
TO YOU.

YOU REALIZE WE STILL
HAVE A PATIENT.

DON'T CARE ABOUT
THE PATIENT.

DO YOU CARE ABOUT
THIS JOB

MORE THAN YOU CARE
ABOUT HIS LIFE?

I CARE ABOUT MY WALLPAPER

MORE THAN I CARE
ABOUT HIS LIFE.

OKAY, YOU'RE
JERKING ME AROUND.

THERE'S NO REASON
TO BE A DOCTOR IF YOU DON'T--

I CARE ABOUT LIFE.

I JUST DON'T CARE
ABOUT HIS.

HE DOESN'T CARE.
WHY SHOULD I?

MY TIME IS BETTER SPENT--

KISSING UP TO YOUR BOSS.

MM.

AVERAGE DOCTOR
CUTS OFF A PATIENT

18 SECONDS
INTO A HISTORY

BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THE TIME
HE'S GOT.

MEANWHILE SIX OF US
ARE MINISTERING TO A GUY

WITH A DEATH WISH.

SO WHY DO YOU WANT
THE JOB?

NOT BECAUSE I'M MAXIMIZING
MY SERVICE TO MANKIND.

GOOD FOR YOU.

WHERE IS HE?

WE'RE GONNA SPEND
THE NEXT HOUR

LOOKING FOR A GUY
WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE FOUND.

[wild garage-punk music]

*

JIMMY QUIDD'S GREATEST STIFF.

1989.

A PROFIT-SEEKING ENTITY
RELEASED THIS?

PUT IT OUT HIMSELF.

HE WANTED PEOPLE
TO LISTEN,

BUT APPARENTLY
DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE

TO ENJOY LISTENING.

- NOW, WHY WOULD SOMEONE--
- TRULY A MYSTERY.

WHY WOULD ANYONE DO SOMETHING
JUST TO AGGRAVATE PEOPLE?

[music stops]

WHY WOULD YOU HAVE A BLANK
LIABILITY RELEASE FORM,

PLUS YOUR CHECKBOOK,
ON TOP OF YOUR DESK?

PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY WERE
IN THE SECOND DRAWER

IN A MANILA ENVELOPE
UNDER A BOOK,

AND YOU PUT THEM
ON TOP OF MY DESK.

YOU USUALLY KEEP YOUR CHECKBOOK
AT HOME.

IT'S YOUR GO-TO EXCUSE
FOR WHY YOU CAN'T LEND ME MONEY.

YOU'RE GONNA PAY THE GUY
THE SIX GRAND, AREN'T YOU?

THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE
I WRITE CHECKS TO.

I DO HAVE CABLE.

THERE'S NO NEGLIGENCE
WITHOUT INJURY.

I HANDED THE GUY
A DEATH SENTENCE.

HE'S NOT DISTRESSED
WITH A DEATH SENTENCE.

HE'S DISTRESSED
WITH A LIFE SENTENCE.

I GAVE HIM THREE MONTHS
OF MISERY.

YOU GAVE HIM THREE MONTHS
OF BEING SOMEONE SPECIAL.

YOU'RE PAYING THE GUY
BECAUSE HE USED TO BE BORING,

AND WITHOUT YOU
HE'S GONNA BE BORING AGAIN.

HI.

RESULTS OF THE MALARIA TEST
ALREADY?

WELL, NO.

BUT WE WERE WONDERING
IF YOU'D SENT THE PATIENT

FOR ANY ADDITIONAL...
TESTS.

YOU LOST THE PATIENT.

TAUB, YOU CHECK
LOST AND FOUND.

THIRTEEN...COME WITH ME.
[music blasting]

WHY DO YOU LOVE
DRUG ADDICTS?

I WON'T PIGEONHOLE
THE PATIENTS,

SO THAT MEANS I'M--

PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF DRAWING
MY OWN CONCLUSIONS.

ARE YOU CAPABLE
OF ANSWERING A QUESTION?

- I THINK THERE'S MORE TO HIM
THAN THE DRUGS.
- ADMIRABLE. WHY?

I NEED A REASON
FOR DOING SOMETHING ADMIRABLE?

THERE'S ALWAYS A REASON.

HE'S A PATIENT,
YOU DON'T KNOW HIM.

WHY DO YOU LIKE HIM?

THE ALCOHOLIC PARENT,

DRUGGIE YOUTH.

THERE'S NO SUCH THING
AS A SAINT WITHOUT A PAST.

OR A SINNER
WITHOUT A FUTURE.

WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE

THAT DRUGS ARE A MASK
FOR SOMETHING ELSE?

DRUGS ARE ALWAYS A MASK
FOR SOMETHING ELSE.

THAT'S THE DUMBEST THING
I'VE HEARD IN MY LIFE.

(Taub)
YOU REALLY WANT THIS JOB?

YOU THINK YOU CAN
TALK ME INTO LEAVING?

YOU'RE A PERSON WHO LIKES
HER PRIVACY

WORKING FOR A MAN
WHO NEEDS TO KNOW EVERYTHING.

YOU'RE A PERSON WHO CARES
ABOUT HER PATIENTS

WORKING FOR A MAN
THAT CARES ABOUT GAMES.

SHH-SHH.

I HEAR HIM.

[children laughing]

(Quidd)
SO NEITHER SLEET NOR HAIL

NOR DREAD OF NIGHT.

HA!

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT...

MALARIA'S NOT CONTAGIOUS.

CHILDREN, I BID YOU...
GOOD NIGHT!

AND I'M OFF! AAH--

[crash]

[laughter]

(Quidd)
HEY...

WHICH ONE OF YOU GUYS
SAPPED MY POWERS?

[laughter]

WAS IT YOU?

DID YOU TAKE MY POWERS?

MAYBE IT WAS YOU.

WELL, NO MATTER.

SEE, I'M FEELING STRONGER
ALREADY.

[children laughing]

IT'S OKAY.

IT'S OKAY.
HE'S OKAY.

RESPIRATION'S GOOD,
PULSE IS SOLID.

WE NEED A LOT OF NURSES
IN HERE.

[bluesy piano riff]

*

[clears throat]

DR. CUDDY.

THAT FACE THAT LAUNCHED
A THOUSAND LONG FACES.

GET CONTROL OF YOUR PATIENT.

STRAP HIM TO THE BED
IF YOU HAVE TO.

I WANT TO KEEP ALL FOUR.

YOU CAN HAVE TWO.

YOU DON'T GET NEGOTIATION,
DO YOU?

I SAY FOUR,

YOU SAY THREE, WE FINALLY SETTLE
ON THREE AND A HALF.

WHICH WOULD BE GOOD NEWS
FOR TAUB.

YOU DON'T WANT FOUR.

YOU DON'T WANT THREE.

BUT IF I SAY THREE,

YOU GET TO KEEP PLAYING
YOUR GAME.

WHO WOULD YOU PICK?

ARE YOU ASKING
MY OPINION?

IF YOU HAVE ANY
ABSOLUTE TRUTHS,

THAT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER.

YOU NEVER WANT
MY ADVICE.

YOU SPEND YOUR LIFE
TRYING TO AVOID MY ADVICE.

YOU'RE A BUREAUCRATIC NIGHTMARE,

YOU'RE A CHRONIC PAIN
IN THE ASS,

AND YOU'RE A SECOND-RATE DOCTOR
AT BEST.

AM I BLUSHING?

BUT YOU DO...

KNOW THIS STUFF.

CAN WE GET THIS OVER WITH?

TAUB AND KUTNER.

TAUB WILL STAND UP TO YOU.

YOU WON'T LIKE HIM,
BUT YOU'LL RESPECT HIM.

KUTNER SHARES YOUR PHILOSOPHY
OF MEDICINE.

GOD KNOWS I DON'T NEED
TWO OF YOU,

BUT HE WILL ACTUALLY
HELP YOU.

IT'S NOT MALARIA.
BLOODWORK'S NEGATIVE.

BUT WE DID FIND THE REASON
FOR THE D.I.C.

BAD BLOOD FRAGMENTS.

IF WE CAN FIGURE OUT
HOW THEY GOT THERE--
[door opens]

(Kutner)
BLOOD EXPOSURE DURING SEX?

(Thirteen)
HEMOLYSIS FROM
THE MALARIA MEDS?

(House)
STOP GUESSING.

YOU'LL SPOIL THE SURPRISE.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING
TO GET INFORMATION

OUT OF THE GUY,

HE'S NOT EXACTLY
THE BARE-YOUR-SOUL TYPE.

HEY, I WAS WONDERING
IF YOU GUYS KNOW

GIRL FROM IPANEMA.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

NOTHING.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

THAT'S MINE, MAN.

OH, YOU'RE GONNA BE
DENYING THAT IN A SECOND.

HMM.

NEXT TIME MAKE SURE
YOU BRING ENOUGH

FOR THE WHOLE CLASS.

HE'S BEEN SHARING NEEDLES
WITH THIS GUY.

AS HE INJECTED
THIS GUY'S BLOOD,

HIS OWN BLOOD ATTACKED IT,
CHEWED IT UP.

THOSE WERE THE FRAGMENTS
WE FOUND.

SO D.I.C. WAS NOTHING?

WE'RE BACK TO BLOODY VOMIT

AND HIS TWO DOZEN OTHER
DRUG OR NON-DRUG SYMPTOMS.

RE-CHECK EVERYTHING.

THROW THESE GUYS OUT,

AND STRAP THE PATIENT DOWN.
[crash]

HOUSE!

RESPIRATORY FAILURE.

GOOD NEWS FOR YOU, THIRTEEN.

'CAUSE THAT IS DEFINITELY
NOT DRUGS.

(House)
THE BLOOD CLOTS WERE
DRUG-RELATED.

THE COUGHING UP BLOOD
AND THE RESPIRATORY ARRESTS

ARE STILL ON THE TABLE.

INHALANTS--

IF I'D WANTED
A KNEE-JERK DRUG DIAGNOSIS,

I WOULD HAVE TOLD FOREMAN
WHERE WE ARE.

HE KNOWS WHERE WE ARE.

BECAUSE HE FOLLOWED YOU!

- I FOLLOWED TAUB.
- I FOLLOWED HER.

HE HAD A BLEEDING PROBLEM.

THAT COULD CAUSE
RESPIRATORY ARREST.

IF I WANTED TO FORGIVE
HIS DRANO-DRINKING WAYS,

I WOULDN'T IGNORE
WHAT YOU JUST SAID.

(Taub)
COULD BE AN INFECTION.

NO, THE LUMBAR PUNCTURE'S CLEAR.

UH, WHAT LUMBAR
PUNCTURE?

YOU DIDN'T AUTHORIZE
THAT TEST.

TRUE, AND YET, HERE I AM
WITH THE RESULTS.

THIRTEEN THOUGHT IT WAS
BACTERIAL MENINGITIS.

AND I HAD THE EYEBALL.

IT WAS A HARMLESS TEST.

THE PATIENT'S WELFARE
STILL COUNTS

FOR SOMETHING, DOESN'T IT?

YEP. MINUS 50.

(Kutner)
CHRONIC PULMONARY EMBOLISM
WOULD EXPLAIN

THE BREATHING PROBLEM

AND THE BLOOD COMING
FROM HIS LUNGS.

- I'LL RUN AN--
- YOU'RE NOT RUNNING ANY TESTS.

HE KNOWS IT'S NOT P.E.s.

THE GUY'S D-DIMER'S NORMAL.

THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS
RULE OUT--

GO IN TO RUN ONE TEST,

RUN EIGHT MORE LIKE SHE DID,
FIND OUT WHICH ONE'S RIGHT.

THEN COMES BACK
WITH A BRILLIANT GUESS.

- IS THIS TRUE?
- NO.

TOO BAD, 'CAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE
EARNED YOU 40 POINTS

FOR CLEVERNESS.

THE POINTS GO TO AMBER.

- FOREMAN,
YOU RUN THE TESTS.
- SURE.

ANYTHING I CAN DO
TO HELP YOUR GAME.

- HE'S NOT GONNA
RUN THE TESTS, IS HE?
- I DON'T THINK SO.

NO.

SO WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?

YOU MEAN BESIDES
YOUR MUSIC?

OH, WELL, SURE,

'CAUSE I DON'T PLAY
YOUR KIND OF MUSIC,

- IT'S NOT MUSIC, RIGHT?
- YEAH.

I RESENT YOU BECAUSE
YOU'RE NOT PERRY COMO.

[chuckles]

LOOK, I DON'T--

I DON'T PLAY
FOR AN AUDIENCE, OKAY?

WELL, THEN, THAT STAGE
YOU STAND ON

IS AN ODD CHOICE.

I JUST--
I DO IT FOR ME, OKAY?

I DON'T DO IT FOR YOU.

YOU HAVE THREE CHOICES
IN THIS LIFE.

BE GOOD, GET GOOD,
OR GIVE UP.

YOU'VE GONE FOR COLUMN "D."
WHY?

SIMPLE ANSWER IS

IF YOU DON'T TRY,
YOU CAN'T FAIL.

ARE YOU REALLY THAT SIMPLE?

LOOK, YOU KNOW,
SOME PEOPLE...

THEY LIKE MY MUSIC.

MOST PEOPLE CAN'T STAND IT.

BUT THEY JUST SORT OF
JUST SHRUG AND IGNORE ME.

BUT A FEW, THEY FEEL LIKE
THEY HAVE TO TELL ME

WHAT I'M SCREWING UP.

YOU KNOW,
WHAT I'M WASTING.

WHY DO THEY CARE?

YOU HAVE SOME PECULIAR MASSES
NEAR YOUR HEART.

PECULIAR HOW?

WELL, UNLIKE YOUR MUSIC,

THEY ELICIT
SOME EMOTIONAL RESPONSE.

[chuckles]

THAT'S ODD.

WHAT?

YOU CARE IF I APPRECIATE
YOUR MUSIC,

BUT YOU DON'T CARE
IF YOU LIVE OR DIE.

MAYBE THE ANSWER IS
THAT SIMPLE.

I CAN'T APOLOGIZE ENOUGH.

TO YOU, TO YOUR FAMILY.

THERE MAY NOT BE ANY TECHNICAL
LIABILITY HERE, BUT--

YOU'RE RIPPING IT UP BECAUSE
YOU THINK IT WOULD BE WRONG

TO TAKE MONEY FROM ME?

I THINK IT WOULD BE WRONG
TO TAKE

SO LITTLE MONEY FROM YOU.

YOU'RE OUT 6,000--

YOU RUINED MY LIFE.

I RUINED THREE MONTHS.

FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN MY LIFE,

I WAS LIVING IN THE PRESENT.

'CAUSE THAT'S ALL THERE WAS.

YOU'RE SUING ME
NOT FOR THE WRONG DIAGNOSIS,

BUT FOR THE RIGHT ONE?

HAVE YOU SPOKEN
TO A LAWYER?

YOU GAVE ME HAPPINESS...

AND THEN YOU TOOK IT AWAY.

(Taub)
DEFINITELY NO EMBOLI.

IT'S PRETTY FUZZY.

HEY, FOR POINT AND SHOOT
I THOUGHT I DID OKAY.

(Taub)
IT'S FUZZY BECAUSE
HE WAS STILL SHAKING

'CAUSE HE WAS COMING DOWN
FROM THE HEROIN.

WHERE IS EVERYBODY ELSE?

THE CLINIC'S BEEN
QUARANTINED.

A PATIENT CAME IN
WITH AVIAN FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS.

AND 50 EXTRA DOLLARS
IN SPENDING MONEY.

CAN YOU DO THIS ECHO AGAIN?

OKAY, MINUS FIVE
FOR INGRATITUDE!

NO "THANK YOU, DR. HOUSE."

NO "HERE'S A BOTTLE
OF CODEINE

FOR YOUR TROUBLES, DR. HOUSE."
OH, NO.

I WAS ASKING
IF YOU COULD DO IT AGAIN

AFTER GIVING HIM
A SEDATIVE

TO KEEP HIM STILL.

I COULD.

WE'D DEFINITELY GET
THE ANSWER.

BUT SINCE THE OPIATES
WOULD DECREASE

HIS RESPIRATORY DRIVE,

AND HE ALREADY CAN
BARELY BREATHE,

MINUS TEN FOR ASKING ME
TO KILL THE PATIENT.

WHAT IF IT'S
A CONGENITAL DEFECT?

AN ANOMALOUS VESSEL
ON HIS HEART?

YOU KNOW THAT THE HEART
DOES THE BLOOD STUFF, RIGHT?

AND THE LUNGS DO THE BREATHING.

IF THE VESSEL WRAPPED
AROUND HIS TRACHEA?

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

MRA.

SEE IF YOU CAN GET
A CLEAR PICTURE OF THAT VESSEL.

WHAT--WAIT--

WHAT--WHAT--WHY?

YOU SAID THE PICTURE SUCKED

BECAUSE THE PATIENT
WAS SHAKING.

MRA WILL BE WORSE.

WE HAVE TO GET A PICTURE.

YOU WERE DOING BETTER
BEFORE YOU HAD A GOOD IDEA.

HOW CAN WE SEE IT
IF WE DON'T TAKE A PICTURE?

[sighs]

YOU CAN SEE ME, RIGHT?

WE WANT TO LOOK
AT HIS HEART.

WITH OUR EYES.

SO I KILL THE PATIENT
ON MY OPERATING TABLE.

YOU GET TO KEEP TESTING
YOUR TEAM

AND I TAKE THE HEAT
FROM CUDDY.

IF IT GOES THAT WAY,
YEAH, THAT'LL BE EXCELLENT.

HIS RESPIRATORY STATUS
IS THROUGH THE FLOOR.

IF THERE'S A VESSEL
AND WE DON'T REMOVE IT FAST,

BEST CASE, HE'S ON
A VENTILATOR FOR LIFE.

GRANTED, IT'LL BE A SHORT ONE.

WHO DO YOU THINK I SHOULD HIRE?

YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU
IN FRONT OF HIM?

IT WOULD BE RUDE
TO ASK HIM TO LEAVE NOW.

IF YOU DON'T DO THE SURGERY,

THE PATIENT WILL DIE.

YOU'LL HAVE HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH IT.

AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW THAT
YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW
THAT IT'S BECAUSE

YOU WERE PISSED OFF AT HOUSE
FOR FIRING YOU.

YOU KNOW THAT'S
NOT WHY I'M SAYING NO.

BUT THAT'S HOW
IT'S GONNA PLAY OUT.

KEEP HIM AND AMBER.

YOU'LL GET STUFF DONE.

PREP HIM FOR SURGERY.

(Chase)
THIS ISN'T AN ANOMALOUS VESSEL.

LOOK AT THESE LYMPH NODES.

WAY TOO BIG.

THERE ARE THE MASSES YOU SAW.

[beeping]

70 OVER 40. HE'S CRASHING.

(Chase)
TWO UNITS OF P.R.B.C.s.

STARTING DOPAMINE--
WE'RE LOSING HIM!

[beeping]

[beeping stops]

SO...HOW'S YOUR GAME GOING?

IT'S NOT WHETHER
YOU WIN OR LOSE.

RESPIRATORY FAILURE.

ENLARGED LYMPH NODES.

WHATEVER THIS IS, HE'S NOT GOING
TO BE BREATHING MUCH LONGER.

DOES FOREMAN BEING HERE
MEAN THE GAME'S OVER?

IT MEANS THE PATIENT'S LIFE
IS ALMOST OVER.

YOU CAN CALL IT
WHAT YOU WANT.

WE'RE DONE, PEOPLE!

COME ON!

I NEED IDEAS.

AND I DON'T CARE
WHO THEY COME FROM.

OF COURSE YOU DO.

THIS IS STILL A GAME.

YOU'RE STILL GOING TO REWARD
WHOEVER GETS THE RIGHT IDEA,

PUNISH WHOEVER'S WRONG.

HIRE WHO YOU WANT,
GET THIS OVER WITH.

THIRTEEN, KUTNER.

I'M SORRY. GO HOME.

WHY?

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

HE JUST TOLD
ME THAT I'VE GOTTA--

LUNGS ARE STIFF,
COULD BE A.R.D.S.

YOU FLUID-OVERLOADED HIM.

ANYONE'S LUNGS WOULD LEAK
AFTER THAT SURGERY.

GOOD-BYE.

ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK.

NO SIGN OF BRONCHOSPASM.

WHAT IF THE LYMPH NODES ARE
CAUSED BY CHRONIC STIMULATION

OF HIS IMMUNE SYSTEM?

IMPURITIES IN HIS DRUGS
COULD HAVE CAUSED--

STREET DRUGS ARE LACED
WITH ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

AN IMMUNE OVERREACTION
WOULD EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.

DRUG DIAGNOSIS.

THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING WITH.

THAT FIRING THING.

IT WAS ALL A DREAM.

GO FIND WHERE HE GETS HIS DRUGS
AND WHAT'S IN THEM.

PUT HIM ON DIMERCAPROL
FOR HEAVY METAL POISONING.

COMPETITION WORKS.

(Amber)
SO YOU'RE NOT GONNA TELL ME
WHO SELLS YOU DRUGS?

WHY DOES IT MATTER?

YOU'RE DYING.
DOES THAT MATTER?

NOT REALLY.

I'M NOT AN ADULT.

I NEVER WANTED TO BE.

SO IF THE CHOICE...

IS RUNNING OUT THE CLOCK
WITH A WALKER...

AND A BEDPAN...

YOU DON'T REGRET ANYTHING?

WELL, THERE WAS A LOT OF DRUGS.

A LOT OF DRINKING...

A LOT OF FIGHTS.

I REGRET EVERYTHING ELSE.

YOU HATE ME, DON'T YOU?

YEAH.

I DON'T CARE.

WHAT'S IT LIKE?

IT MEANS YOU HAVE NO REGRETS.

[wheezing]

[Quidd's music playing]

[door opens]

KINDA STICKS IN YOUR HEAD,
DOESN'T IT?

THIS GUY'S AMAZING.

THERE'S NOT
ONE REDEEMING NOTE.

WHAT SORT OF A LAWYER
TELLS HIS CLIENT

HE'S GOT A CASE BECAUSE
HE'S GOING TO LIVE?

I'VE HEARD THAT
NOT ALL LAWYERS

ARE AS ETHICAL AS THE ONES
WE SEE ON TV.

I DON'T THINK THIS GUY
EVEN HAS A LAW DEGREE.

A LOT OF THE GUYS
ON TV DON'T, EITHER.

I THINK HE HAS
A MEDICAL DEGREE.

IT DIRECTLY AFFECTS
MY BOTTOM LINE.

YOU HAVE LESS MONEY TO LEND--

I'M TRYING TO TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY!

AND I'M TRYING TO TEACH YOU
THAT EVERYONE IS OUT FOR THEIRS.

YOU MIGHT AS WELL KEEP YOURS.

AND LEND IT TO YOU?

YOU HAVE TO CONTROL
EVERYTHING.

HOW COME YOU'RE GOING
AROUND ASKING EVERYONE

WHO YOU SHOULD FIRE?

I'M ASKING FOR INPUT!

I THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE
ADMIRED THE HUMILITY.

YOU LIKE GAMES BECAUSE
YOU CAN CONTROL THEM.

OH, GOD--I'M GONNA
PUT THE RECORD BACK ON.

YOU LIKE WHAT'S
INTERESTING--

NEVER MIND IF IT'S
REAL OR GOOD.

WANNA KNOW WHY YOU OFFERED
THAT GUY SIX GRAND?

LIFE JUST HAPPENS, AND THAT
SCARES THE HELL OUT OF YOU!

YOU THINK YOU CAN CURE PAIN.

YOU THINK YOU CAN
AVOID PAIN!

YOU THINK YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE
FOR EVERY FAILURE,

EVERY PATIENT'S BORING LIFE,

EVER FRIEND'S SCREWED-UP--

YOU DON'T WANT TO FACE IT
ANY MORE THAN MY PATIENT DOES.

DYING'S EASY.

LIVING'S HARD.

THAT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE
AS POIGNANT AS IT SOUNDED.

[knocking]

UH, STILL CAN'T FIND
THE DRUG SOURCE,

BUT I DON'T THINK
THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

THE DIMERCAPROL
ISN'T WORKING.

AND QUIDD VOLUNTEERS AT
A HOME FOR ABANDONED KIDS.

WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS?

BECAUSE HIS BASS PLAYER
TOLD ME.

IS IT MEDICALLY RELEVANT?

I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, THEN WHY ARE YOU--

STOP PLAYING GAMES
AND DO YOUR JOB!

NO.

THIS TIME,
I'M FIRING TAUB AND AMBER.

THIS IS A JOKE, RIGHT?

IT'S ONLY A JOKE IF
YOU COME UP WITH THE ANSWER.

IT'S NOT REALLY FUNNY
IF YOU DON'T.

THIRTEEN AND KUTNER,
YOU'RE FIRED TOO.

FOREMAN.

HE'S A DRUGGIE.

I WAS NEVER SURE THERE WAS
A DISEASE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

SO ALL WE KNOW
IS THAT HE'S DYING.

WHO WANTS TO TELL THE PATIENT?

FINE.

WE'LL GET SOME KID
TO GO TALK TO HIM.

IT'S THE ONLY PEOPLE
HE GETS ALONG WITH ANYWAY.

ARE WE STILL FIRED?

HE WORKS WITH ABANDONED KIDS?

IS IT MEDICALLY RELEVANT?

I THINK SO.

I NEED A BRAIN BIOPSY.

FOR THE PATIENT.

STOP IT.

YOU TWO SWITCH?

YOU WANT TO DRILL
INTO A SKULL

OF A PATIENT WHO ALMOST DIED ON
THE OPERATING TABLE YESTERDAY?

WHY ARE THEY HERE?

BECAUSE I WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN
THE ANSWER WITHOUT EACH OF THEM.

YOU COULD HAVE JUST TOLD ME.

I WANT YOU TO FEEL GUILTY.

SHE THINKS THE PATIENT'S
A LOSER.

SHE THINKS THE PATIENT'S
A WINNER;

JUST A REGULAR GUY
WITH A REGULAR PROBLEM.

HE THINKS HE'S GONNA BE GREAT
ONCE HE'S ALL GROWED UP.

AND HE THINKS...

WHAT DID YOU THINK?

- AUTOIMMUNE.
- RIGHT.

LESS INTERESTING,
BUT JUST AS IMPORTANT.

WE CAN'T ALL BE RIGHT.

YOU'RE ALL WRONG.

MY MOM ALWAYS SAID THAT TWO
WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT.

SHE NEVER SAID ANYTHING
ABOUT FOUR WRONGS.

I ALWAYS FOUND THAT SUSPICIOUS.

PLAIN OLD MEASLES.

CONSTANT EXPOSURE
FROM HANGING OUT

WITH OLIVER TWIST
AND HIS LOT.

I ASSUME HE'S BEEN VACCINATED.

PATIENT'S IMMUNE SYSTEM
WAS SHREDDED

WITH YEARS OF DRUGS.

THEY'RE EARLY MARKERS
OF RASH AND FEVER.

WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST
IN A DRUGGIE.

HIS IMMUNE SYSTEM OVERREACTED.

THAT'S WHY HIS BODY
WENT HAYWIRE.

THAT'S CLEVER.

YOU'RE NOT DOING A BIOPSY
WITHOUT NEUROLOGICAL SYMPTOMS.

IF I'M RIGHT,
THE VIRUS IS IN HIS BRAIN.

WRONG COURSE OF TREATMENT
COULD BE HIS LAST COURSE OF--

I NEED A NEUROLOGICAL--

HE KEPT SWALLOWING.

COULD BE NEUROLOGICAL.

COULD BE A COMPLEX
PARTIAL SEIZURE.

WHAT DID IT LOOK LIKE?

GOOD...GOD, WOMAN.

HOW MUCH MORE PROOF
DO YOU NEED?

IF YOU CAN INDUCE A SEIZURE,
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR BIOPSY.

HUP!

(Kutner)
WE'RE GONNA USE FLASHING LIGHTS.

NOXIOUS STIMULATION,
IT'LL IRRITATE YOUR BRAIN.

IF THERE'S DAMAGE
TO YOUR NEURONS,

IT'LL TRIGGER A SEIZURE
THAT WE CAN--

I GOT SOMETHING
MUCH MORE NOXIOUS.

IT'S NOT AS COMMONLY USED,

BUT SOUND CAN BE
JUST AS BIG AN IRRITANT.

[Quidd's music plays]

NOW REMIND ME OF
YOUR INFLUENCES HERE.

'CAUSE I'M GONNA SAY,

THELONIOUS MONK AND THE SOUND
A TRASH COMPACTOR MAKES

WHEN YOU CRAWL INSIDE IT.

MMPH.

I DON'T DO IT FOR YOU.
I DO IT FOR ME.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IS HE SEIZING OR DANCING?

SEIZING.

PLAY HIM THE B-SIDE.
IT'S EVEN WORSE.

SCHEDULE AN O.R.
FOR THE BIOPSY.

SEE YOU IN THE LECTURE HALL.

[door opening]

[door shutting]

[acoustic guitar music]

*

A LITTLE MOOD MUSIC.

BUILD THE SUSPENSE.

SOUNDS MORE FOLKY.

YOU SERIOUSLY HAVE NO IDEA
WHEN TO SHUT UP, DO YOU?

AMBER, PLEASE STAND.

YOU DIDN'T CALL ME BITCH.
IS THAT BAD?

YOU PLAY THE GAME
BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE HERE.

BUT FOR THE WRONG REASONS.

REASONS DON'T MATTER.
RESULTS ARE THE ONLY THING--

YOU WERE WRONG.

*

20 YEARS AGO,

THIS WAS RECORDED
BY JIM MOSKOWITZ.

WHO LATER BECAME KNOWN
AS JIMMY QUIDD.

*

LOVES KIDS,

APPARENTLY HAS A HEART,
PERHAPS EVEN A SOUL.

IF YOU'RE GONNA WORK FOR ME,

YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING
TO BE WRONG,

WILLING TO LOSE.

'CAUSE YOU JUST DID.

YOU'RE FIRED.

*

THIRTEEN, PLEASE STAND.

*

YOU'RE FIRED.

YOU JUST SAID
I WAS RIGHT ABOUT--

HE WAS A DRUG ADDICT.

*

FOUR APPLICANTS,
TWO SPOTS.

IF I HAD THREE,
I'D KEEP YOU.

*

GAME OVER.

*

MMPH.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GROW OLD
AFTER ALL.

YOU'VE GOT MEASLES.

WE'RE BLASTING YOU
WITH CORTICOSTEROIDS.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

I GOT FIRED.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

TRYING NOT TO CARE.

YEAH.

WELL, THAT'S NOT EASY.

[door opening]

WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?

YOU TOLD ME TO HIRE
KUTNER AND TAUB.

BECAUSE I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T.

OOPS.

I CAN'T LET YOU HIRE TWO MEN.

NOW, THAT IS SEXIST.

YOU'VE ALREADY GOT FOREMAN.

IS HE A DUDE?

HIRE A WOMAN TOO.

HIRE TWO WOMEN.

YOU CAN HAVE THE ONE
THAT GIVES A CRAP ABOUT PEOPLE.

THEY BOTH DO.

GREAT.

HIRE THIRTEEN.

THIS WAS YOUR PLAN
ALL ALONG.

[scoffs]

WELL, AT LEAST
THE GAMES ARE OVER.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN ME?
