"Jimmy, I've never been lebih serious."
"She's still with Paul, isn't she?"
"Yeah, she's still with the funny looking P.I."
"So, why on earth is she having a makan malam tanggal with you?"
"Because I am a master manipulator."
"What did anda do now?"
"I merely appealed to her fervent desperation to have all department heads at her dull fundraiser."
"I have a feeling she wasn't the one to offer makan malam at her place," Wilson berkata as he propped his feet up on the coffee table.
"She offered the usual. I wasn't interested."
"You not being interested in a week off clinic duty is strange unto itself, but anda being lebih interested in having makan malam with her, is just completely weird, even for you."
"Weird. You're the one that thinks I have a thing for her. Isn't this what men do when they want a woman?," he berkata taking a sip of his beer.
"Usually bribery isn't a tactic but then again maybe for anda it is. What are anda trying to achieve anyway?"
"It's about gaining information, Wilson. I've already found out that she's done the dirty with him. Can anda imagine what I'll find out over the course of one evening."
"Again, what are anda trying to achieve?"
House took another swig of his bir and turned his attention to the televisi screen.
"I need to know how serious she is."
"How serious she is about him?"
"No. How serious she is about me."
"God, anda really can't tell oleh now? How many times has she risked her job, reputation, and everything else just to save anda from being canned on your pantat, keledai atau put in prison..."
"That's because I'm an asset to the hospital..."
"Please. You're lebih than just an asset to her. anda two have only known each other about twenty years."
"We're quasi-friends and at times enemies but..."
"Stop minimizing. She was holding your hand when anda came out of the coma. She was doing everything to make sure anda were recovering well..."
"Wait. How do anda know about that? That was the period when anda were being all bitchy and not talking to me."
"Cuddy is Cuddy. Even though I didn't want to talk about anda she'd bring anda up in conversation nonetheless. I know she was practically at your place everyday for a bulan before she felt like anda could handle things on your own."
"She was insufferable that month. She was monitoring my diet and wouldn't allow me any rongsokan, sampah food. She was constantly cleaning too."
"Was she a good cook?" Wilson asked with a smile.
"What you're implying is that she was a good cook ergo I miss her cooking ergo I miss her being around me twenty-four seven ergo the real reason I wanted her to make me makan malam at her place."
"Well, yeah."
"She is a good cook. She's made vast improvements since college."
"What was she like in college?"
"The same just with a tighter ass."
"Did anda two date? Neither of anda ever talk about Michigan. Makes me wonder what went on between anda guys."
"We didn't date," he berkata as he got up to go to the fridge.
"Was it a flirtation?" Wilson asked as he followed House to the other room.
"Dumb question."
"Okay, knowing anda there had to have been inappropriate gestures and comments. I mean did anda ever try to be with her?"
"What anda are really trying to ask but are too cowardly to is whether atau not we did the deed."
"Well?"
"Despite what others may think, I am a gentleman. I don't broadcast my sexcapades," he berkata with an overly dramatic shake of his head.
"Alright, anda don't have to tell me, but I do have to tell anda something."
"You met the future fourth Mrs. Wilson to day?"
"I had a talk with Cuddy about you."
"What's new about that. anda two girls are always gossiping about me."
"She seems torn between her deeper feelings for anda and the blossoming feelings she has for Paul. I sensed that she wants Paul because he's lebih open and less..."
"Caustic, sarcastic, offensive, insincere..."
"Yes, less you."
"So, big deal. Like I told her, he's a distraction."
"Or anda want him to be a distraction."
"You really think he has a shelf life past three months? There is a reason I'm the only man who she's had a long term connection with. She likes conflict just as much as I do. I'm a sadist and she's a masochist," he berkata as he popped a few of his vicodin.
"Pretend all anda want to, but if he really isn't a formidable opponent then why even go through all this trouble? Why would it matter to know how serious she is about you?"
"Look, I know she cares about me, but I'm never sure if it's just this weird co-dependent thing we have atau if it really is..."
"Love."
"Yeah."
"That's nice."
"Oh, shut up."
"You want to know if she's as in cinta with anda as she's alluded to because you've fallen in..."
"Shut up!"
"Okay. I'll stop talking about your girlfriend."
"Why do I associate with you?"
"Because I tell anda the truth and I'm the only one willing to associate with you."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hand me another beer."
