[Music] You know, Neo Four Hundreds are handbags. It's kind of hard to check your shrug when you're flapping your gums around. Hi, but it's for the fall formal. He doesn't care if it's for the presidential inauguration. Well, but I'm using Marissa's old dress. It's free. Yeah, you know what else is free? Roof over your head, the food you eat, your phone, your computer. How long have you been congested? Oh wait, ever since we got back from Fresno. Fresno, that's in France, right? See the Parthenon in California? I've got no appetite, and I'm aching all over. I'm weak. Does that hurt? Yeah. Does this voice always have that unattractive nasal tone? Totally. I'm gonna take that giggle as a no. Fever, aches, weakness, loss of appetite, and having any anal sex with IV drug users lately? Of course not, I'm married. I think she might have been happy. No, no, what? It's probably a rhinovirus. What's that? Could take this four times a day. Stay off airplanes, flying cesspools. You drop something. Is there anything else you can think of? Please call. Yes, he's too old and weak. Dr. House, hi, how are you? Not as good as you think I am. Don't worry, I'm not stalking you. My dad just lost his medicine. Need to come back for another prescription? Yeah, right. He's moving in on this treated knee? Yeah, my dad, the meth kingpin. Why haven't you returned any of my calls? I planted in a couple of years. I was just calling to say thank you. Gotta tell you how impressed I was. He diagnosed my dad just by looking at him. Felt his clients too. Oh, there's my dad. I gotta go. Yeah, me too. Oh, and you really don't have to wait a couple years to return my calls. Just six months till I turn 18. [Music] Hi, Dr. House. Hello, girl whose name I don't remember. It was dad I treated, so I don't really know why she's here. Allie? Oh, I think I called my dad House. The Rhino thing, right? Does that hurt? Little. So my chest too. Of course it is. Kinda had access through the shirt. This'll work. Sounds good. Exactly when did New Jersey run out of horn? A 17-year-old boy's mom. Five weeks ago. It's been very lonely. The ventilation scan was normal. Time to send them home. Can't leave right now. Congratulations, you are the proud owner of your very own Rhino thing. Oh, rhinovirus. You can't leave because she has a cold. Can't leave because Cuddy says I can't leave. If your girlfriend's called the clinic 15 times looking for you today, lot to discuss. China powder house. She's a stalker, right? Couldn't be that she finds me interesting, attractive. Has to be that she's insane. She's called you 15 times. Your mother's not that interested in me. Maybe you'd be better adjusted if she was. I'm notifying security. It's just about the carpet. You think I'll back off if you blocked on my fun? You better not be having fun. I'm having fun, not having sex. She's dangerous. I'm dangerous. She's pretty. She's pretty. Men are stupid. I'm with you so far. I've notified security. Oh, give her a break. She's not dangerous. She's insightful. You can't stop our love. Hey, you get into a lot of trouble here. I wanted to see you. Yeah, I got that. So did everyone else. They think you're a stalker. One could argue those people might be jealous your attention. Yes, I actually made that argument. Going home, the plant in Iceland. The age of consent is 14. I'm surprised tourism is the bigger industry up there. Today I'm Shelby, and in 22 weeks, anybody can do anything to me. Will I be so different in 22 weeks? 22 weeks is enough for an embryo to bear arms and legs. Just a line, an arbitrary line drawn by a bunch of sad old men in robes. Yeah, who cares what judge is thinking? Didn't think of you as a guy who's followed rules. Is because they were rules. You are over 10 meters young. I said over. Gotta go, House. Dr. Cuddy, do you have to know the way to the Icelandic consulate? This young woman, a stranger to me, just asking directions. Security was gonna call the police. I don't want to do that to you. Go home. She needed a ride. She got here on her own. She can get home. Run around now. If I see you on hospital grounds again, I will call the police. [Music] After that look, I'm feeling a little frisky. Looks like you're up. I'm ovulating. Let's go. The frisky. It went away. Listen to me. Do you have any idea what you'd have to look forward to if you stayed with me? Nine chances out of 10, we both wind up in jail. You're always saying that to make me go. Saying it 'cause it's true. Inside of us, we both know that you belong with Victor. Victor in your class. So if you're not with someone your age, you'll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life. What about us? We'll always have Fresno. I've got a big nobleman. Doesn't take much to see that the problems and two little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll not understand that. Here's looking at you. Damn, was there an earthquake when you were in Fresno? What? I asked. I'll make a lot of friends there. Oh yeah, that one. Damn. What? What? What is it? It's not love. You have spore in your brain. Coccidioides immitis. California is full of them. They get an earthquake, released into the air. You breathe it in. You get a cold, turns into sinus congestion, egg sweetness, milky tears, and sometimes loss of inhibition and of judgment. Damn. So loving you, wanting to have sex with you is all just a spore stopping you. Probably live. Damn. [Music] [Music] [Music]
