Where are those projections?

Three, six, and nine
are in the folders.

Can I have some more--
Tea's at your seat,

Hello?
Excellent.

Oh, hold on.

Ben Federman again.
Another pre-call.

We did the pre-call.

This the post
pre-call call?

(Ben on phone)
The Board's gonna want
specifics

with the push
into Asian markets.

Ben, there are no specifics
about Asia.

We came up with that
as a Hail Mary

at 3:00 in the morning
to placate the Board

about international.

Carly, I'm just giving you
the heads-up about Asia.

There is no Asia.

Let's talk about Asia.

We're in the preliminary stages
of forming a strategic alliance

with Credit Lyonnais.

Within three months,

you won't be able
to walk four feet

in Kangham, South Korea

without seeing
one of our beautiful models

smiling at you from billboards

and drugstore windows,
inviting you in.

That's incredible news, Carly.

We had hoped to hear
something about Asia.

We had no idea plans
were so far along.

Well, you know Asia.
Nothing's done until it's done.

[chuckling]

(man)
Carly, I was wondering,

could you walk us through
what you were thinking

for other Asian territories?

Absolutely.

India has over
half a billion women.

In terms of spending power,
it's the single largest

potential market in the world.

Um, we have retained
a local firm to ensure

that cultural differences
are respected.

However, I can't go into
the specifics of my plan

with you until tomorrow.

Right now, I have a meeting
and I need the room.

We were just getting started.

I know, and I do apologize.

It's last minute,

but the meeting is with three
State Department officials

to smooth the way for China.

China?

This is just incredible.

We'll be in touch.
Thank you.

What is it?

I need a doctor.

I can't move my leg.

[new age music]

*

32-year-old female,

paralysis and severe pain
in her right quad, go.

How'd she get to you?

She's the CEO
of Sogno Cosmetics.

Three assistants and 15 VPs

checked out
who should be treating her.

Who da man?
I da man.

I always suspected.

Dr. House, I know
the chances are very slim,

but I'm sure you recognize

that she may have
what you had.

A clot in her thigh.

It's a bit of a long shot.

What about
a disk herniation?

I don't know, Eric.

If her disk were herniated,

she'd present with pain
elsewhere, wouldn't she?

Yeah, I suppose.

You're right, a clot's also
the most deadly.

Right, Robert?

True.

The clot breaks off,

she could stroke and die.

(Cameron)
Dr. House,

I believe that they're right--

Stop talking.

What?

You read one of those
negotiating books, didn't you?

Getting to Yes.

50 Ways to Win an Argument.

Hitchhiker's Guide
to Being a Pal.

In five seconds,
you just manipulated

these two into agreeing
with your point of view.

Fellas, this is known as
soft positional bargaining.

It's not gonna work.

Dr. House, are you saying

that she doesn't
have a clot,

or are you saying say that

if she does have a clot,

she doesn't need blood thinners
and an angiogram?

(House)
Chase, put her
on blood thinners,

do an angiogram.

When that comes back negative,
MRI the spine.

If that's clean, cut her open
and biopsy the leg.

Excellent suggestion.

Read less, more TV.

(Cuddy)
It's rare for an individual
to make a donation

significant enough to impact
an organization

as large and unwieldy
as a hospital.

This donation does come
with one string.

That he be made
Chairman of the Board.

I think that's
a reasonable request.

I think he should have
the right to know

what it is we do with his

$100 million.

Please welcome our new Chairman
of the Board, Edward Vogler.

[applause]

Thank you, thank you.

[sighs]
When I was 18,

my dad loaned me $20,000
for college tuition,

which he would've known
was a mistake

had he known I wasn't
actually in college.

[group chuckles]

I took his money and invested
in a friend

who had a little business.

And when my dad found out
what I had done with his money,

he and I didn't talk much
after that.

But my friend's business
took off.

And I used the profits from that
to buy another company.

And another.

And I must've been pretty good
at it, had a good eye,

because before I knew it,

people were making offers
for my company.

And about a year ago,
I went public,

and overnight I was worth
a billion dollars.

So I went to see my dad.

I'll admit I wanted
a little payback, you know,

kind of shove the wind
in his face.

So I drove upstate and sat
in the kitchen I grew up in.

And, uh, he had no reaction.

Wasn't his fault.

He didn't even know who I was

because his Alzheimer's
had taken a turn for the worst

despite the best drugs
and care out there.

And th is why I'm here.

What if my contribution
to this hospital

is the difference between
no cure and a cure for cancer?

The difference between a man
not recognizing

his wife of 35 years

and being able
to look at her and say,

"Good morning, honey.
I love you."

If there's a disease out there
killing people,

I am writing you a blank check
to fight back.

So...

Things are going to change.
A lot.

[applause]

(Chase)
I'm gonna have to ask you
for the cell phone.

Do what you need to do.
I'm okay.

I'm pretty sure my X-ray machine
can take your phone in a fight.

It'll fry it.

Fine.

(woman)
How old is she?

32.

Wow, and she's already
the CEO of a public company.

She's a workaholic.

Okay, Carly,

hold still.

The X-ray machine is gonna

pass over your leg.

Okay.

What'd you do
with your time off?

Snowboarding in Gstaad.

Switzerland?

Do you ski or board?

You could come with
if you like.

Maybe we should start
with a drink

before we go
around the world.

Oh, you want to have
a drink with me?

Ooh.
Very aggressive.

I like that.

I want to run this place
like a business.

What, do you want put
more vending machines

in the hallway,
maybe a roulette wheel?

Nice one.
But I'm serious.

The product that you're selling
is good health.

Shouldn't be a tough sell.

You don't want to sell,
it means you don't care

people get your product.

Do you care if people
are healthy

or you too proud for that?

Who's that?

That's, uh,
just one of our doctors.

Aren't, uh, doctors

supposed to wear lab coats?

(Cuddy)
He's...different.

Oh, everyone's buddy.

No, not exactly.

Then why does he
get away with it?

It's just a coat.

He's very good.

(House)
Say "Ahh."

Ahh.

No, really belt it out
like you're gonna throw up.

Ahhhh!

[coughs]

Perfect.

Okay, that's it.

We should know
in a couple of days

what's growing
in your son's throat.

Hello?

He can't talk.

Excuse me?

He had knee surgery.

Right.
About a year ago.

And then he couldn't talk.

Right.

Well, that happens.

You know, it's--
it's very dangerous operating

so close to the vocal cords.

Okay, we'll send
your kid's culture

to the lab, and somebody
will call you.

Boo!
[boy gasps]

Just wanted to see
if your dad...

Bizarre.

I need you to wear
your lab coat.

I need two days
of outrageous sex

with someone obscenely
younger than you.

Like, half your age.

Wear the coat.

Man, oh, man.

Someone got spanked
real good this morning.

Guy gives $100 million
to cure cancer.

Pretty small concession
to wear a lab coat.

Cure cancer?

Is the hospital getting out
of the dull business

of treating patients?

You know that's not
what he's doing.

I know exactly
what he's doing.

He's using us
to run clinical trials.

Oh--[scoffs]
shame on him.

Saving lives like that.

It's unethical.

Oh, are you coming in too?
I thought I had you convinced.

Clinical trials save

thousands of lives.

He's using patients
as guinea pigs.

Pharmaceutical companies
do that every day.

Are we a pharmaceutical
company?

We're gonna wind up pressuring
desperate patients into choices

that are bad for them,
good for us.

We're gonna compromise
patient care.

Who the hell
am I talking to?

Suddenly, ethical lapses
are a major concern for you?

What's interesting is,
it suddenly doesn't bother you.

So, if you ignore ethics

to save one person,
it's admirable.

But if you do it to save
a thousand, you're a bastard.

All he's done is taken your game
and gone pro.

He's not gonna kill
a few patients.

He's gonna kill this hospital.

It took him three seconds

to size you up.

And surprise,
he doesn't like you.

Wear the damn coat.

Hello, I'm, uh, Dr. Foreman.

I work with Dr. House.

Our initial tests
say you're fine.

We think you had a clot,
but it resolved on its own.

So we're gonna keep you
overnight to be safe,

and you can go back home
tomorrow.

Or back to work.

Hey, are you okay?
[whimpering]

[screaming]

Get in here!

I need a line in her.
IV morphine, stat.

[screaming]

You get any read on
the new Chairman of the Board?

Yeah, he took
your parking space.

It's not necessarily bad news.

Do you ever watch
Gilligan's Island reruns

and really, really think

they're gonna get off the island
this time?

We should introduce ourselves.
It couldn't hurt.

We'll make him a Bundt cake.

The patient hit
a ten on the pain scale.

What would explain that?

There was no clot in her leg.
The angio was totally clean.

What about the muscle biopsy?

No neurogenic
or myopathic abnormalities.

(Foreman)
She was also negative
for trichinosis.

No toxoplasmosis
or polyarteritis nodosa.

Robert?

What was her
sedimentation rate?

Normal...Allison.

Therefore, no inflammation,

no immunologic response.

Do you mind sharing
that number with me?

15, Allison.

Are you mocking me?

Duh, Allison.

(Cameron)
I'm just suggesting

we look outside the box.

What if her sed rate
is elevated?

Well, let's go further
outside the box.

Let's say the angio
revealed a clot.

And then let's say
we treated that clot,

and now she's all better

and personally thanked me
by performing--

My Aunt Elyssa
lives in Philadelphia.

Oh, it's story time.

Let me get my baba.

Her normal temperature
is 96.2,

not 98.6 like you and me.

If her temperature were 98.6,
she'd have a fever.

I'm just wondering

if you think we could apply

the same logic
to Carly's sed rate?

That's absurd.

I love it.

(Cameron)
If 15 is high for Carly,

then she has inflammation.

(House)
Which could in turn
mean cancer.

I'll talk to Wilson.

Next time, skip Aunt Elyssa.

(Wilson)
You're probably talking about

a primary bone cancer,
could be tricky to detect.

You need a bone scan.

That's why I'm talking
to an oncologist.

Sure, I have nothing
better to do

besides departmental meetings
and budget reports.

New Chairman of the Board,
you know.

Oh, I hadn't heard.
Right.

Clinical trials.

Completely unethical.

And a very bad omen for you.

There's not much money in curing
African Sleeping Sickness.

No, I have seen
every scary movie ever made.

Six-year-old twins in front
of an elevator of blood,

boys choirs--
those are bad omens.

This is much more mundane.

A billionaire
who wants to get laid.

Billionaires buy movie studios
to get laid.

They buy hospitals
to get respect.

And the reason
you want respect?

To...get laid.
Okay then.

You just gotta think
like a billionaire.

You'll see, there'll be
big scary changes

and then, "Oh, Dr. Cameron.

"We should have dinner
to discuss your future

on my G-5 private jet."

Oh, come on.

You know how good
you have it here.

Yes, I'm the big poobah,
the big cheese,

the go-to guy--

You do the cases you want to do
when you want to do them.

You're not gonna have that
anywhere else.

Relax, I've been
through three regime changes

in this hospital.

Every time, same story.

Just keep your head down.
That's all I'm saying.

And put on your coat.

It itches.

[sighs]

Gonna do this bone scan
for me or what?

Yes!

Dr. Simpson, did you hear?

New management.

I'm thinking of switching
to orthopedics.

How much do you guys get
for a massage now?

Without the happy ending.
Dr. House.

What do you want?

You remember a guy
named Van Der Meer?

Not a big talker.
You fixed his ACL.

Not according to my
medical malpractice premiums.

Didn't get hypotensive
during surgery?

No strokes, maybe
some connectivity loss?

What, you're gonna
get involved now?

I'm not involved.

The guy brought his son
into the clinic.

I didn't touch the son.

Not taking
any responsibility there.

The son's fine,
can't shut him up.

Dad show any symptoms
of cortical disease, Wernicke's?

No.

Nothing.

That's why we settled, because
we couldn't find anything.

The guy got
over a million dollars.

Don't tell me
he's complaining.

He's not saying boo.

Your father wants to know when
you'll be back from your trip.

Email back it's taking longer
than I thought.

He doesn't need to see me
like this.

What about your brother?
No.

Hello, I'm Dr. Wilson.

I was--
Um, Robin, I'm gonna
need a minute.

Oh.

Thank you.

There are two Dr. Wilsons
in this hospital.

One in ophthalmology
and one in cancer.

My eyes are fine, so I'm
guessing you're here to tell me

that I have cancer.

There is no cancer
in your bone.

You're not smiling.

There's something called
"referred pain."

You could have cancer

in one part of your body
that presents in another.

Given your age

and your family history,

I'm thinking your colon.

Great.

I was at Columbia
when my mom died.

Now, there's a blast.

Cleaning up her vomit and then
running to my Econ final.

Look.

If I'm a short-timer,
give me drugs.

I'll go back to work,
I'll die there.

Whoa.

There's a very quick test
to see if you even have it.

A colonoscopy.

I know how you do that test.

If you have colon cancer,
we can treat it.

It's early.

That's what they told my mom.

She was dead six months later.

You're a smart person about
to make a very bad decision.

You know, cancer treatment's
come a long way in 12 years,

but if you don't do this now--

I don't want to be looked at.

There is...another way.

We could do
a virtual colonoscopy.

Basically, we do
a CT scan of your colon.

It's non-invasive,

but it's very expensive.

I'm assuming
that's not a problem.

Say yes.

Mr. Van Der Meer.

What?

Relax, Ricky's gonna be
just "fingth."

Strep throat.

Here's a prescription
for an antibiotic.

He should be all better
in a few days.

Although...

this might sting a little.

I want to see you again
real soon.

(Wilson)
Virtual colonoscopy was clean.

No colon cancer.

What happened to a regular
old-fashioned colonoscopy?

She was uncomfortable
doing any more tests.

I had to convince her
to do that one.

Do you get that often?

Women who'd rather die
than get naked with you?

She's scared.

But not of tests.
Just embarrassing ones.

Yeah.

It's not an inflammatory
process, it's not a clot,

because Chase's angio says so.

And it's not cancer,
'cause her tush is perfect.

Anybody else got an Aunt Elyssa

with weird stuff?

(Cameron)
Maybe it's worth looking into--

Thought you said Carly's angio

was clean.

It was clean.

You guys see the problem here?

There's no indication
of any abnormalities.

No lesions, no spurs,
no masses--

Her toes are screwed up.

They're backwards.

Do you guys know

how much surgery
it's gonna take

to swap 'em back?

What are you talking about?

Well, either she literally
has two left feet,

or you angioed the wrong leg.

That's impossible.
It can't be the wrong--

Or maybe it was Jenny.

How come some resident

signed this radiology report?

Were you even in the room?

I'll redo her angio--

You'll do nothing!

Foreman, you do the angiogram.

I can't believe I did that.

Why do we have to redo
the angiogram?

There was a shadow
on the first test result.

Shadow?

Shadow means there could be
a blood clot, right?

I read Conn's Current Therapy.

Real page-turner.

No, it wasn't
that kind of shadow.

My chest hurts.

It's from the tracer
I injected.

Might also get
a little nauseous

or have a metallic taste,
all normal.

I'm a runner.
I shouldn't feel like this.

Carly, I'm looking
at your vitals right now and--

[gasps]
I can't breathe.
Carly?

My chest.

My chest.

Respiratory arrest.
Call code.

What do you got?

She's drowning.

(Cameron)
Foreman did a thoracentesis

to drain the fluid
from her lungs.

She's stable.

We sent the fluid to the lab.

It'll be back in a few hours.

You'll be happy to know
Chase's mistake

didn't cost her.

Angio revealed no clot.

I'm thrilled.

[sighs]

[monitor beeping steadily]

tap tap

Okay, see, now you're just
being stubborn.

It's cold,

perfectly good excuse
to wear your lab coat.

Carly needs
a heart transplant.

Her thoracentesis
revealed a transudate?

I haven't gotten it back yet.

Her MUGA scan,

what was the ejection fraction?

Maybe you could treat it
surgically.

Haven't done the MUGA.

How do you know she needs
a heart transplant?

I got my aura read today.

Said someone close to me
had a broken heart.

Since when do I need the secret
pass code to talk to you?

I can't tell you anything.
Professional responsibility.

Like that matters to you.

Not my professional
responsibility, yours.

New regime, you gotta
keep your head down too.

Now, that's good thinking,
because I was gonna go

right to Cuddy and rat you out

as soon as you were
done talking.

I'm not saying you'd want to,

I'm saying you'd be
obligated to.

Because of my position
on the Board?

Because of my position
on the transplant committee?

Hey, you brought this up
for a reason.

You need to talk to me.

I can't.

Are you sure you're doing
the right thing?

I've come up with a few
really great rationalizations.

(Chase)
Sorry to interrupt.

We have a problem.

(Cameron)
Thoracentisis revealed
a transudate.

We did an echo.

She's in severe
congestive heart failure.

She needs a heart transplant.

We'll get her
on the list immediately--

She's already on the list.

tap tap tap

Come in.

Thanks.

What is a Department
of Diagnostic Medicine?

That's Dr. House's department.

They deal with cases

that other doctors
can't figure out.

It's a financial black hole.

Department costs us
three million a year.

Treat one patient a week.

He saves one patient per week.

What about everyone else?

His department's not going to
find the cure for breast cancer.

Uh, maybe not but--

Are you sleeping with House?

What? No.

But you did, right?

Long time ago?

That's an incredibly
inappropriate question.

If your judgment is compromised

by a prior
or current relationship,

that is my business.

I respect him,
that is all you need to know.

He's still not wearing a coat.

Well, I told him--
I'm sure you did.

And yet, he's not wearing it.

I'm just wondering
if that's a reflection on him

or on you.

You're Dr. House.

Found a picture online of you
at a conference--

You need a heart transplant.

I run, I work out--

You cut yourself.

Probably highly ritualized.

You play the same
Sarah McLachlan song

over and over
while you do it.

Probably works better
than antidepressants.

I don't understand how this--

You're a high-powered bulimic.
You make yourself throw up.

You had to find the most
efficient way to vomit

without revealing the telltale
signs of bulimia.

It's all--ooh--
very unseemly for a CEO.

So you found a common antidote

to accidental poisoning
to do the job.

Ipecac.

Which is great,
if your kids

just swallowed
a bottle of aspirin,

but really, really bad
if it's a habit.

Causes muscle damage.

Caused the pain in your leg.

And destroyed your heart.

How often do you do it?

Three times a week.

In about an hour, there's
going to be an emergency meeting

of the transplant committee

to discuss where you fall
on the list

should a new heart
become available.

Problem is, I am required
to tell the committee

about your bulimia.

It's a major
psychiatric condition.

Ranks right up there
with suicidal.

Makes you a very bad risk.

So you're here to tell me
I have just a few hours to live?

Unless I lie to the committee.

But if they find out,
I lose my medical license.

This would be a very good time
to offer me a bribe.

You know, how much
is your life worth,

how much is my job worth--

Why are you here
doing this to me?

What do you want?

I want to know what's right.

Am I worth it?

You think I'm pathetic.

Has a good job,
everything in the world.

But she just doesn't like
the way that she looks.

Oh, stop hiding!

I'm asking you

if you want to live or die!

You can't even say that!

What do you want me to do, cry?

Yes!

I want you to tell me that
your life is important to you!

Because I don't know.

Because that's
what's on the table right now.

Your life.

I don't want to die.

I don't.

This 32-year-old female

was admitted by my staff

because of paralysis and pain
in her right thigh.

Patient rapidly deteriorated,

and now has severe
congestive heart failure.

Pressors and vasodilators

have not improved her condition
whatsoever.

Pulmonary function tests show
an FVC of over three liters

with FEV1

of at least 90 percent
of predicted.

And preserved FEV/FVC ratio
and preserved DLCO as well.

Her MUGA had an injection
fraction of 19 percent

with no focal wall motion
abnormalities.

Heart catheterization revealed
clean left, right,

and circumflex arteries.

And subsequent biopsy revealed
irreversible cardiomyopathy.

Which is why we're here.

(Cuddy)
Uh, Dr. House, I'm confused

by your time and date stamps.

It appears that you put Carly
on the transplant list

before you did these tests.

I had a hunch.

You don't have hunches.
You know.

Look, if the tests had
come back differently,

obviously I would've
taken her off the list.

But on the long shot--

On the long shot
that I was right,

I didn't want to waste time.

Is there any exclusion criteria
we should know about?

CAT scan revealed no tumors

and Dr. Wilson found
no trace of cancer.

What about any other criteria?

No atherosclerotic vascular
disease--

Are there any--

No pneumonia, no bacteremia,
no Hep B or C

or any other letters.

Substance abuse, any history--

No alcohol, no drugs.

Any psychiatric conditions,
history of depression--

She's a little blue.

But turns out, she needs
a heart transplant, so...

Dr. House, if you subvert
or mislead this committee,

you will be subject
to disciplinary action.

Dr. Cuddy, do you
have any reason

to think that I would lie?

I simply want you
to answer the question.

Is there anything on
the recipient exclusion criteria

that would disqualify
your patient

from getting a heart?

No.

[thunder rumbling]

Beautiful organ donor
weather.

You lied, didn't you?

I never lie.
Big mistake.

Then you should've voted against
putting her on the list.

You're my friend.

Oh, jeez.
Have some backbone.

If you think I'm wrong,
do something.

Wait, you're getting mad at me
for sticking up for you?

You value our friendship

more than your ethical
responsibilities.

Our friendship is
an ethical responsibility.

[pager beeping]

What is it?

My patient's getting a heart.

[monitor beeping]

[whirring]

(Cameron)
He's not gonna fire you.

(Foreman)
I'd fire you.

Bye-bye.

I screw up, the patient dies,
I'll never get another job.

So stick your head

between your legs and go
lick your wounds in Gstaad.

Well, I like it here.

You guys don't think it's weird
House knew the patient

needed a heart transplant
before we did any heart tests?

That's House.

He knows things.

But usually he's
putting it in our face.

Telling us how cleverly
he figured it out.

This time, nothing.

Just "I had a hunch."

It is weird.

Okay. Ready for the donor heart.

[monitor flat-lining]

They just stopped Carly's heart.

And your dumb patient--

They're all--
oh, the guy who can't talk.

Right.
Mr. Van Der Meer,

he scheduled
an appointment to see you.

Oh, goodie.

I wanted you to know
Chase is worried

you're going to fire him.

It's bad enough
that screw-ups cost lives.

Now we've got Vogler,
screw-ups cost jobs.

I want Chase scared.

I want him doing
everything he can

to protect his job.

Dr. House, if you were
in his position,

wouldn't you be more likely
to perform well

if you were reassured
rather than--
Oh, will you stop it

with the book?

Why are you doing this?

I'm not doing anything.

You're manipulating everyone.

People...

dismiss me.

Because I'm a woman,
because I'm pretty.

Because...

I'm not aggressive.

My opinions shouldn't
be rejected

just because people
don't like me.

They like you.

Everyone likes you.

Do you?

I have to know.

No.

Okay.

5 hours, 23 minutes.
That's fast.

Is that good or bad?

Depends.

Either the surgery
went really well,

or ended really abruptly.

Textbook.

She'll outlive us all.

Thank you.

So. Sing for me.

Oh, no, no, no, no.
Come on.

Look, when you had your surgery,
you were intubated.

Surgeon stuck a tube
down your throat.

Now, it never happens,
and it's never caught,

but it happened.

Your vocal cords
were paralyzed.

I treated the spastic
dysphonia with botox.

Ironically, a substance
that tightens

every other corner of your face
actually loosens the tongue.

I have healed you.
You can talk.

[sighs]

Oh, well.

Boo!

Okay.

You don't have to say anything.

It could be our little secret.

If you can talk, blink twice.

But you're not going to.

Because you think you won't be
entitled to the money you won

in the settlement with Simpson.

Yesterday, I would've said
you had to give the money back.

Today, hospital's come into
a lot of money...

mum's the word.

[monitor beeping steadily]

Hey.

Hey.

I know the cardiologist
has given you some guidelines.

Schedule of medication
and a strict diet.

Just what somebody

with an eating disorder needs.

So I thought
I'd get you started.

Fried chicken
from the Carnegie Deli.

You're kidding.

Yeah.
Actually, I got it downstairs.

[laughs]

Why did you fight for me?

You risked so much and...

you hardly know me.

You're my patient.

Don't screw it up.

Love this part!

[music stops abruptly]

Okay.
He ruined it.

Just wanted to stop by
and introduce myself.

I'm Edward Vogler,

new Chairman of the Board.

In a way, I guess
that makes me your boss.

I am sorry
about the lab coat thing.

My drycleaners
just destroyed it.

[chuckles]

That was my very first

heart transplant committee
meeting.

Very exciting.

Trust me, Six Flags,
way more exciting.

The patient's very lucky

to have such
a passionate doctor.

Stands up for
what he believes in.

Sweet of you to say.

Yeah.

Afraid you've been duped,
though.

The nurse found this
in the patient's purse.

Oh, my.
If only I'd known.

Tough being a doctor.

Having all that power.

The power to play God.

Yes.

I don't envy
the transplant committee

their responsibility.

They basically would've been
forced to kill that poor girl.

I'm not sure
I could've done that.

This is not a game to me,
Dr. House.

No.

It's actually more like
we're dancing right now.

So let's get to the point.
You don't like me.

I'm pretty sure
I'm not gonna like you.

It's nothing personal,

I don't like anybody.

But none of that
really matters, does it?

Because you've got money
and I've got tenure.

You need full Board approval
to get rid of me.

I've got Cuddy.

Right.

And Wilson.

So as long as we're stuck
with each other,

we might as well
ignore each other.

[Hava Nagila plays]

*

That wasn't nearly as dramatic
as I was hoping.

[chuckles]

I looked into
that tenure thing.

And you're right.

It's actually easier

for me to get rid
of a Board member,

like Cuddy or Wilson,
than to get rid of a doctor.

It's interesting, isn't it?

* Out here in the fields

* I fought for my meals

* I get my back into my living

*

* I don't need to fight

* To prove I'm right

* I don't need to be forgiven

* Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah *
