house episode 13

Chase: I’m gonna get a sample. [He turns to leave, but is blocked by an older gentleman in the doorway. Chase looks rather surprised to see him. Let’s call the older man Rowan, for that is his name.]

Rowan: Dr. Chase. You have a few moments. [House watches this with interest.]

Chase: Sorry, I’ve gotta go. [He hurries off.]

House: These young doctors. It’s like they don’t care about people. No manners.

Rowan: My fault, probably.

House: That’s an interesting accent you have there. I’d say Czech, with about thirty years of Aussie.

Rowan: You have quite an ear.

House: You’re Chase’s dad. Hard to miss, you know, the big hug and how happy he was to see you. [He sips his coffee and smiles.]

[Cut to the clinic, where Wilson is with a patient. House enters.]

House: Need a consult.

Wilson: With a patient.

House: Urgent doctor stuff. [He leaves.]

[Cut to House and Wilson, walking out of the clinic.]

House: 26-year-old male, sudden loss of the ability to speak --

Wilson: Just because you got out of clinic duty doesn’t mean everybody did.

House: -- to his father. Differential diagnosis?

Wilson: Chase?

House: Dad swoops in, Chase swoops out.

Wilson: Dad say why he was here?

House: See? You asked. Dad comes 5000 miles and you’re more curious than Junior is. Can’t just be about the divorce. It’s been fifteen years and mom’s been dead for ten of them. You think Daddy murdered her?

Wilson: You want to get to the bottom of this, you’re doing it exactly right. Don’t talk to the people involved, drag your buddy away from work for some pointless speculation.

House: You want to know how two chemicals interact, do you ask them? No, they’re going to lie through their lying little chemical teeth. Throw them in a beaker and apply heat.

Wilson: Even I don’t like you. [He walks off.]

House: [calling after him] You know, words can hurt!
