She's fat. 8 00:00:27,727 --> 00:00:31,288 I could lose a little weight. 9 00:00:37,404 --> 00:00:39,031 You all right? 10 00:00:39,105 --> 00:00:43,769 - Actually, before she signs-- - I killed the cat. Lots of blood. 11 00:00:45,512 --> 00:00:47,571 It's okay. 12 00:00:47,647 --> 00:00:50,673 I have a couple of questions about some of these dates. 13 00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:53,685 - The first diagnosis-- - Schizophrenia. 14 00:00:53,753 --> 00:00:56,847 Dr. Walters, May 11, last year. The letter's in the medical file. 15 00:00:56,923 --> 00:00:59,858 And April 6-- that was the last day she worked? 16 00:00:59,926 --> 00:01:03,362 But she received unemployment benefits for that week. 17 00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:06,866 We fixed that. I know we did. We returned the money. 18 00:01:10,937 --> 00:01:12,768 That's the canceled check. 19 00:01:12,839 --> 00:01:15,399 Not the real one, you know. It's a copy. 20 00:01:15,475 --> 00:01:17,409 And you're the dependent? 21 00:01:17,477 --> 00:01:22,312 No. That's my little brother. I'm 18. Just helping out. 22 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,054 You're all set. 23 00:01:29,122 --> 00:01:30,987 Just need a signature. 24 00:01:31,057 --> 00:01:33,753 Hey! I'm talking to you! 25 00:01:33,827 --> 00:01:37,263 The cat's first. Now it's your turn, Lucy. 26 00:01:37,330 --> 00:01:39,560 Shut up. Shut up, shut up! 27 00:01:40,667 --> 00:01:45,001 It's okay. She just-- She just needs a little water is all. 28 00:01:45,071 --> 00:01:47,062 I'll go get it. 29 00:01:51,644 --> 00:01:54,169 Just hold on, okay? Just-- 30 00:01:54,247 --> 00:01:58,741 When she comes back, sign it and we're gonna be done. We need this, okay? Please. 31 00:02:00,954 --> 00:02:03,422 Okay. 32 00:02:03,490 --> 00:02:05,515 The voices-- 33 00:02:05,592 --> 00:02:07,583 The voices aren't real. 34 00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:15,691 What? 35 00:02:25,445 --> 00:02:27,436 Mom? Mom. 36 00:02:27,514 --> 00:02:30,540 Mom? Mom! Mom! 37 00:03:03,716 --> 00:03:07,777 Thirty-eight-year-old Caucasian woman. Status: post-respiratory arrest in the field. 38 00:03:07,854 --> 00:03:09,981 Intubated, oxygenating poorly. 39 00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:22,265 Dr. Gregory House, please call Dr. Cuddy at extension 3731. 40 00:03:24,938 --> 00:03:28,396 This is a good hospital? 41 00:03:28,474 --> 00:03:31,932 Depends what you mean by "good". I like these chairs. 42 00:03:35,515 --> 00:03:37,415 How is she? Stable. Okay. 43 00:03:37,483 --> 00:03:39,314 Your Mom had a small pulmonary embolism-- 44 00:03:39,385 --> 00:03:42,286 a blood clot that got stuck in her lungs, blocked the oxygen. 45 00:03:42,355 --> 00:03:46,553 But the pain started in her leg. Where the clot started-- her calf. 46 00:03:46,626 --> 00:03:49,356 It's called a deep vein thrombosis. Basically, a bigger clot. 47 00:03:49,429 --> 00:03:52,364 It never hurt there before. I would have noticed. 48 00:03:52,432 --> 00:03:56,198 A piece of that broke off, went up the vein, through her heart and blocked the blood flow to her lungs. 49 00:03:56,269 --> 00:03:57,998 No blood flow, no oxygen. Okay. 50 00:03:58,071 --> 00:04:02,030 Is your Dad here? I have some things I need to talk to him about. Uh, my Dad's running a little late. 51 00:04:04,911 --> 00:04:07,846 He's dead. Just talk to me. I take care of her. 52 00:04:07,914 --> 00:04:12,078 All right. Your mom's blood alcohol was .12. 10:30 in the morning. 53 00:04:12,151 --> 00:04:15,018 I gave it to her. Two ounces of vodka. It cools her out. 54 00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:18,216 But that's the first since Monday. That was three days ago. 55 00:04:18,291 --> 00:04:20,657 I've been real careful. 56 00:04:24,397 --> 00:04:27,924 She hears voices. She's schizophrenic. That explains the D.V.T. 57 00:04:28,001 --> 00:04:30,697 The alcohol makes her pass out. She's immobile for long periods of time. 58 00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:33,933 That doesn't happen. She's not an alcoholic. She only drinks when you give it to her? 59 00:04:34,007 --> 00:04:37,443 We put her on blood thinners. You can probably take her home tomorrow. 60 00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:40,377 It's not the alcohol. It's gotta be something else. 61 00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:43,574 Ofcourse it's the alcohol. 62 00:04:44,717 --> 00:04:47,117 Hello! 63 00:04:47,186 --> 00:04:49,814 This guy's a professional doctor. 64 00:04:49,889 --> 00:04:52,949 Plays golf and everything, I bet. 65 00:04:53,026 --> 00:04:56,928 He's not gonna tell you your mom's an alcoholic without proof. 66 00:04:56,996 --> 00:04:59,931 I'm sure he scoped for varices, checked her esophagus, ran all kinds of blood tests. 67 00:04:59,999 --> 00:05:02,900 Doctors like this, they don't make assumptions. They do the work. 68 00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:05,631 I'd be happy to refer you the case, Dr. House. You seem so interested. 69 00:05:05,705 --> 00:05:08,765 What case? It's over. You're sending her home. 70 00:05:08,841 --> 00:05:10,775 - How old is she? - You're a doctor? 71 00:05:10,843 --> 00:05:12,276 Own my own stethoscope. 72 00:05:12,345 --> 00:05:15,246 Did I ask you how old she was? I forget. 73 00:05:16,783 --> 00:05:19,718 A 38-year-old woman with no previous symptoms or history... 74 00:05:19,786 --> 00:05:21,549 presents with deep vein thrombosis. 75 00:05:21,621 --> 00:05:23,384 How did she get it? 76 00:05:23,456 --> 00:05:26,289 Oral contraceptives, smoking, diabetes, obesity. What's the point here? 77 00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:30,887 A D.V.T. is a D.V.T. Put her on I.V. Heparin to prevent future clots. 78 00:05:30,963 --> 00:05:34,490 - What's the big mystery? - Fine. You're all sleepy. You need a clue. 79 00:05:34,567 --> 00:05:37,627 She's 38 years old. 80 00:05:37,704 --> 00:05:40,571 She's 20 years too young to get a deep vein thrombosis. 81 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,235 I treated a 12-year-old girl once, a soccer player. She got kicked in the leg. 82 00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:47,336 There was no trauma. None of the risk factors. You took a history? 83 00:05:47,413 --> 00:05:53,215 I have some notes. They're not mine, but reliable, I think, for the purposes of this discussion. 84 00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:58,019 As for the immobility, well, she's real active right now, ofcourse. Paranoia keeps her limber. 85 00:05:58,091 --> 00:06:00,958 - Paranoia? - Oh, yeah. She's schizophrenic. 86 00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:04,463 And her kid wrote this, so it might be a little biased. 87 00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:07,590 You know, having to take care of his nutso mom and all. 88 00:06:07,667 --> 00:06:09,999 You think there's a connection? 89 00:06:10,069 --> 00:06:13,505 - Do we include schizophrenia in the differential for D. V.T.? - Well-- 90 00:06:13,573 --> 00:06:15,598 The answer is no. 91 00:06:15,675 --> 00:06:18,542 Abnormal dopaminergic pathways in the brain do not cause blood clots. 92 00:06:18,611 --> 00:06:20,340 Schizophrenia is not the cause of D.V.T. 93 00:06:20,413 --> 00:06:24,349 On the other hand, we don't really know anything about schizophrenia, so maybe it is connected. 94 00:06:24,417 --> 00:06:26,351 Well, schizophrenia explains one mystery-- 95 00:06:26,419 --> 00:06:29,354 why you're so fascinated by a woman with a bump in her leg. 96 00:06:29,422 --> 00:06:32,858 It's like Picasso deciding to whitewash a fence. Thanks. I'm more of a Leroy Neiman man. 97 00:06:32,925 --> 00:06:35,860 And it is only about the D.V.T. She's 38 years old. She shouldn't-- 98 00:06:35,928 --> 00:06:39,420 Right, solve this one, and you're on your way to Stockholm. We don't even know how to treat it. 99 00:06:39,499 --> 00:06:41,433 Come on. Fumigation of the vagina? 100 00:06:41,501 --> 00:06:44,436 A little louder. I don't think everyone heard you. 101 00:06:44,504 --> 00:06:48,497 Two thousand years ago, that's how Galen treated schizophrenics. The Marcus Welby of ancient Greece. 102 00:06:48,574 --> 00:06:50,769 Oh, clearly you're not interested. Oh, I'm interested. 103 00:06:50,843 --> 00:06:55,712 I'm interested in how voices in the head could be caused by malposition of the uterus. There's a better place for it? 104 00:06:55,782 --> 00:06:58,717 Now, what do we got? We've got lobotomies, rubber rooms, electric shocks. 105 00:06:58,785 --> 00:07:01,345 My, Galen was so primitive. Where are you going? 106 00:07:01,421 --> 00:07:05,755 Going to see the patient. That all-important human connection. Thought I'd give it a whirl. 107 00:07:05,825 --> 00:07:08,259 You won't talk to patients because they lie, 108 00:07:08,327 --> 00:07:10,761 but give you a patient with no concept of reality-- 109 00:07:10,830 --> 00:07:14,459 If it wasn't for Socrates, that raving, untreated schizophrenic, we wouldn't have the Socratic method-- 110 00:07:14,534 --> 00:07:17,970 the best way of teaching everything, apart from juggling chain saws. 111 00:07:18,037 --> 00:07:21,473 Without Isaac Newton, we'd be floating on the ceiling. Dodging chain saws, no doubt. 112 00:07:21,541 --> 00:07:25,272 And that guitar player in that English band. He was great. 113 00:07:25,344 --> 00:07:28,404 You think I'm interested because of the schizophrenia. 114 00:07:28,481 --> 00:07:29,914 Yeah, I'm pretty sure. 115 00:07:29,982 --> 00:07:33,941 Galen was pretty sure about the fumigation thing. 116 00:07:35,388 --> 00:07:37,379 Pink Floyd. 117 00:07:40,193 --> 00:07:44,061 - Mom, this is Dr. Gr-- - Gregory House. 118 00:07:44,130 --> 00:07:46,064 Nice to meet you. 119 00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:49,067 Would it be all right if we spoke alone for a while? 120 00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:51,535 Well, you're gonna need me to-- 121 00:07:51,604 --> 00:07:53,936 I've got your case notes, Doctor. 122 00:07:54,006 --> 00:07:55,940 There's a cafeteria downstairs. 123 00:07:56,008 --> 00:07:57,942 Get yourself whatever you want, 124 00:07:58,010 --> 00:08:01,411 as long as there's enough left over for a Reuben sandwich, dry, no fries, hold the pickles. 125 00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:03,915 Should run you about 5.80 with tax. 126 00:08:09,589 --> 00:08:11,580 I'll page you when we're done. 127 00:08:14,727 --> 00:08:17,423 No... 128 00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:19,727 pickles. 129 00:08:24,871 --> 00:08:26,862 Nice kid. 130 00:08:28,374 --> 00:08:30,808 How much do you really drink? 131 00:08:37,483 --> 00:08:40,350 He's really talking to a patient? 132 00:08:40,419 --> 00:08:43,354 I don't know who I am anymore. 133 00:08:43,422 --> 00:08:46,357 It's a blood clot.

The Mets suck. 161 00:10:32,498 --> 00:10:37,834 Also, for the last two months, she hasn't shaved her legs. Because of the tremors, she cuts herself. 162 00:10:37,903 --> 00:10:40,565 - The tremors aren't new. She must always cut herself. - Exactly. 163 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,574 Something changed in the last two months. 164 00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:47,272 I'm thinking the amount of blood when she cut herself. So let's start with some blood work. 165 00:10:47,346 --> 00:10:51,043 Collect and send for clotting studies, P.T., P.T.T., factor five, protein "C" and "S". 166 00:10:51,117 --> 00:10:53,244 The whole shebang.

The lab says it's not strep, so we're done. 190 00:12:34,820 --> 00:12:37,755 Wait a second. No, really not strep. 191 00:12:37,823 --> 00:12:41,224 The boys in the lab, sure, they're hard drinkers, but they're pros, you know. 192 00:12:41,293 --> 00:12:43,853 Plus, your kid actually has none of the symptoms for strep. 193 00:12:43,929 --> 00:12:46,864 It was quicker running the test than arguing with you. My point is, go! 194 00:12:46,932 --> 00:12:49,867 I just wanted to ask your opinion, Doctor. 195 00:12:49,935 --> 00:12:52,870 She's having a birthday party next week, and she's upset that I'm getting a sugarless cake. 196 00:12:52,938 --> 00:12:55,873 The other kids hate it. This is why you're here. 197 00:12:55,941 --> 00:12:58,876 Sugar is the leading cause of obesity in America. 198 00:12:58,944 --> 00:13:01,879 You want a doctor to scare her about the dangers of sugar. 199 00:13:01,947 --> 00:13:04,882 She needs to get her weight under control. 200 00:13:04,950 --> 00:13:10,388 Well, you know, I feel sorry for those other kids, Wendy, who don't have a mom like yours-- 201 00:13:10,456 --> 00:13:14,893 a mom who knows that sugar causes heart disease, appendicitis and athlete's foot. 202 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,895 That's not fair. Oh, yes, it is. No, I get it. 203 00:13:17,963 --> 00:13:21,399 You want her to slim down a little so she can wear pretty clothes like yours. 204 00:13:21,467 --> 00:13:23,401 Love the bracelets. 205 00:13:23,469 --> 00:13:26,404 Hey, what about matching outfits? You could be twins. 206 00:13:26,472 --> 00:13:28,872 She can't be your daughter. 207 00:13:28,941 --> 00:13:31,466 It's impossible! You look way too young. 208 00:13:31,544 --> 00:13:33,478 Happy birthday. 209 00:13:33,546 --> 00:13:35,480 Get the kid a damned ice cream cake. 210 00:13:35,548 --> 00:13:38,676 Dr. Wyland to Obstetrics. Dr. Wyland, Obstetrics. 211 00:13:38,751 --> 00:13:41,914 - You drugged her. - Actually, I didn't. 212 00:13:41,987 --> 00:13:44,547 I've taken her off all medication. Your guy Foreman gave her Haldol. 213 00:13:44,623 --> 00:13:48,286 We needed blood for tests. I assumed that was the only way to get it. 214 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,421 He knocked her out. Look, I have a cane, and I know how to use it. 215 00:13:52,498 --> 00:13:54,489 I hired you. You work for me. 216 00:13:54,567 --> 00:13:56,194 Okay. 217 00:13:56,268 --> 00:13:58,293 Can I go now, boss? 218 00:14:01,473 --> 00:14:03,407 The Haldol changes her. 219 00:14:03,475 --> 00:14:07,809 She says it makes her soul numb. Don't give it to her. 220 00:14:12,351 --> 00:14:14,285 "If there be rags enough, 221 00:14:14,353 --> 00:14:18,187 he will know her name and be well pleased remembering it". 222 00:14:20,993 --> 00:14:23,427 You okay? 223 00:14:23,495 --> 00:14:25,486 Old days. 224 00:14:28,634 --> 00:14:30,568 "For in the old days, 225 00:14:30,636 --> 00:14:33,571 "though she had young men's praise and old men's blame, 226 00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:36,608 among the poor, both old and young gave her praise". 227 00:14:39,945 --> 00:14:42,106 Oh! 228 00:14:45,951 --> 00:14:48,442 Help! Somebody help! 229 00:14:53,425 --> 00:14:58,795 So, when I said no psych meds, I'm just curious-- which word didn't you understand? 230 00:14:58,864 --> 00:15:01,799 The Haldol had nothing to do with the bleed. 231 00:15:01,867 --> 00:15:04,734 You know that. I used it purely as a chemical restraint. 232 00:15:04,803 --> 00:15:06,964 Oh, great. Well, that's good to hear. 233 00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:11,669 So she won't experience any of those pesky little side effects you get when your motives aren't pure. 234 00:15:11,744 --> 00:15:13,974 Oh-- Those side effects are so rare! 235 00:15:14,046 --> 00:15:17,812 What, passing out, increased confusion, depression? That's not gonna happen. 236 00:15:17,883 --> 00:15:21,944 That's not gonna screw up our diagnosis, 'cause you just used it to restrain her. I'm so relieved. 237 00:15:22,021 --> 00:15:23,955 She spit in my face. 238 00:15:24,023 --> 00:15:26,958 That must have been so frightening for you. 239 00:15:27,026 --> 00:15:29,961 What was I supposed to do, tie her down? Yeah. Anything but give her drugs. 240 00:15:30,029 --> 00:15:31,963 That's basically my point. 241 00:15:32,031 --> 00:15:36,593 The clotting studies. Pretty fast. Did you promise to date the entire lab? 242 00:15:36,669 --> 00:15:39,035 No, I save that for emergencies. 243 00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:42,471 I told them she bled out two units and if it happened again, she'd die. 244 00:15:42,541 --> 00:15:45,476 If it had happened at home, she would have died. 245 00:15:45,544 --> 00:15:48,308 The E.R. doc, he was gonna send her home. 246 00:15:48,380 --> 00:15:51,781 - I used my best judgment. - It turns out your best judgment is not good enough. 247 00:15:51,850 --> 00:15:55,308 - Here's an idea-- next time, use mine. - I think they're choosing a movie. 248 00:15:55,387 --> 00:15:58,151 Why did the patient bleed out? 249 00:15:58,223 --> 00:16:00,817 The clotting studies so far are normal. 250 00:16:00,893 --> 00:16:03,828 Well, cover your ears if you don't want me to spoil the ending. 251 00:16:03,896 --> 00:16:07,559 Everything was normal, except for a prolonged P.T. time. 252 00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:12,127 - Which means what? - Usually it means whoever drew the blood didn't do it right. 253 00:16:12,204 --> 00:16:14,536 Oh, that's right, 'cause you drew the blood. 254 00:16:14,606 --> 00:16:19,066 - But you were precise because you knew the tube was purely for the P.T. study. - That's right. 255 00:16:19,144 --> 00:16:22,580 And I'm right with you. I trust this result, for two reasons-- 256 00:16:22,648 --> 00:16:25,208 "A", because you are a good doctor, 257 00:16:25,284 --> 00:16:28,014 and "B", because five milligrams of I.V. Haldol... 258 00:16:28,087 --> 00:16:31,022 makes for a spectacularly cooperative patient. 259 00:16:32,424 --> 00:16:35,689 The prolonged P.T. time makes me think she's got a vitamin "K" deficiency. 260 00:16:35,761 --> 00:16:38,662 Vitamin "K" would explain the bleed, but not the clot. 261 00:16:38,731 --> 00:16:42,098 Without vitamin "K", protein "C" doesn't work. Without protein "C", she clots. 262 00:16:42,167 --> 00:16:45,102 Clotting and thinning all at the same time. 263 00:16:45,170 --> 00:16:48,537 What about another drug interacting with Heparin, an antibiotic like ampicillin? 264 00:16:48,607 --> 00:16:51,542 That would cause the bleed. Clever, but she's not on ampicillin. 265 00:16:51,610 --> 00:16:55,046 Two months ago, she complained of a sore throat, and he got her ampicillin. 266 00:16:55,114 --> 00:16:57,412 - Which she refused to take. - He just said she didn't take it. 267 00:16:57,483 --> 00:17:00,680 What is it, everybody lies except for schizophrenics and their children? 268 00:17:00,753 --> 00:17:04,712 It's more likely than malnourishment. Why not scurvy or the plague? 269 00:17:04,790 --> 00:17:07,350 Gee, I wish my idea was as cool and with-it as yours. 270 00:17:07,426 --> 00:17:10,623 What is yours, by the way? Do you have one? Alcohol. 271 00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:14,496 Simple. It causes immobility, which explains the D.V.T. 272 00:17:14,566 --> 00:17:19,765 It also causes cirrhosis, which explains the bleed and the prolonged P.T. time. 273 00:17:19,838 --> 00:17:22,739 - Let's ultrasound the liver. - Three theories. 274 00:17:22,808 --> 00:17:26,073 Check out her place for ampicillin and diet. 275 00:17:26,145 --> 00:17:28,079 Then ultrasound her liver. 276 00:17:28,147 --> 00:17:31,310 Let's find out who's right before she bleeds to death. 277 00:17:45,497 --> 00:17:47,488 101. 278 00:17:54,773 --> 00:17:59,142 So House says the kid is sensitive, thinks he takes good care of her. 279 00:17:59,211 --> 00:18:02,408 But if we don't find anything, why let him know we did it in the first place? 280 00:18:02,481 --> 00:18:04,415 What's the point? 281 00:18:04,483 --> 00:18:09,216 Why not just make old Foreman lift the key from the kid's backpack? 282 00:18:23,969 --> 00:18:26,631 Looks like Luke sleeps in the living room. 283 00:18:33,946 --> 00:18:36,471 Nothing in there. 284 00:18:36,548 --> 00:18:38,482 He lays out her clothes? 285 00:18:38,550 --> 00:18:42,680 Enough organization, enough lists, you think you can control the uncontrollable. 286 00:18:42,754 --> 00:18:46,815 Fix her meds, fix her clothes, maybe you can even fix her. 287 00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:50,561 Pick that up on your psych rotation? 288 00:19:00,205 --> 00:19:03,606 Trifluoperazine, Thorazine, Clozarile. 289 00:19:03,675 --> 00:19:05,973 Whew. They tried everything. 290 00:19:06,044 --> 00:19:10,310 The ampicillin-- never touched it. 291 00:19:10,382 --> 00:19:14,546 There goes Cameron's theory. Oh, God, I hope it's not a vitamin "K" deficiency. 292 00:19:21,793 --> 00:19:24,421 Damn. 293 00:19:24,496 --> 00:19:26,430 Breakfast, lunch and dinner. 294 00:19:26,498 --> 00:19:28,432 House was right. 295 00:19:31,503 --> 00:19:33,937 That's the only thing she'll eat. Yeah. 296 00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:36,941 The problem is, you can't actually live on this stuff. 297 00:19:37,009 --> 00:19:40,945 I checked it out. I looked on the box. All the nutritional values are solid. 298 00:19:41,013 --> 00:19:42,947 There's plenty of protein and calories. 299 00:19:43,015 --> 00:19:47,042 Yeah, vitamin "A" and "C", but no "K". That's why your mom got sick. 300 00:19:49,588 --> 00:19:52,751 So what's the plan then? Load her up with vitamin "K". 301 00:19:52,824 --> 00:19:57,158 That's it? If it all checks out, you can take her home in a couple of days. 302 00:20:00,966 --> 00:20:03,457 Oh, God, you're upset about something. 303 00:20:04,736 --> 00:20:08,467 You're gonna open up to me now, aren't you? It's all my fault. 304 00:20:09,608 --> 00:20:11,542 Here we go. 305 00:20:11,610 --> 00:20:15,603 Okay, I'm gonna say this once: You have done a very good job taking care of your mother. 306 00:20:15,681 --> 00:20:19,879 If this was all she'd eat, then what else could you do? Gosh, just being a kid is a full-time job. 307 00:20:19,952 --> 00:20:23,945 Shut up! I'm 18. I should be able to take care of my mom. 308 00:20:25,324 --> 00:20:28,555 I almost killed her. Good example. 309 00:20:28,627 --> 00:20:33,564 Just the time it takes to express those ridiculous, self-centered teenage ideas. 310 00:20:33,632 --> 00:20:35,691 I don't envy your schedule. 311 00:20:38,036 --> 00:20:40,402 No pickles. 312 00:20:40,472 --> 00:20:42,599 My mom doesn't like 'em either. 313 00:20:42,674 --> 00:20:44,665 Smart woman. 314 00:20:45,877 --> 00:20:48,812 Before she got sick, I didn't like how bossy she was. 315 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,475 Always telling me what to do, the right way to do it. 316 00:20:53,318 --> 00:20:56,947 Never thought I'd miss that. 317 00:20:57,022 --> 00:21:00,651 Oww. 318 00:21:02,327 --> 00:21:04,352 You should get that looked at. 319 00:21:04,429 --> 00:21:07,364 I still don't buy a vitamin "K" deficiency. House was right. 320 00:21:07,432 --> 00:21:10,367 That usually makes you happy. Less work for us. 321 00:21:10,435 --> 00:21:13,962 The kid feeds his mom a steady diet of booze, and the problem is too many burgers? 322 00:21:14,039 --> 00:21:16,974 The kid's in a tough situation. You do what you gotta do to survive. 323 00:21:17,042 --> 00:21:20,478 Feeding alcohol to an alcoholic is not a survival technique. 324 00:21:20,545 --> 00:21:22,877 Where I come from, if it works-- Yeah, right. 325 00:21:22,948 --> 00:21:26,941 I'm rich.
