Olivia Wilde: Thirteen

Whatever It Takes

Thirteen

Taub: What do we do?
Dr. Eric Foreman: I don't know yet.
Dr. Jeffrey 'Big Love' Cole: She needs treatment.
Dr. Amber Volakis: This is a test, right? You're reporting back to him everything we do.
Dr. Eric Foreman: Yeah, and I asked the patient to be uncooperative. Personally, I think she overplayed it.
Dr. Travis Brennan: [to Foreman] She's being uncooperative because you made us all look like idiots.
Dr. Eric Foreman: We're only gonna look like idiots if we can't figure out how to get her to agree to the treatment.
Dr. Jeffrey 'Big Love' Cole: What would House do right now?
Thirteen: Pop a pill, insult us and trick the patient.
Dr. Lawrence Kutner: We can do that last part. She's never met House before, has she? Who's got a cane?
Dr. Eric Foreman: House isn't here. We're not gonna act like him.

Taub: [after the patient ends up paralyzed when she was given medicine] Steroids don't cause paralysis.
Dr. Eric Foreman: She was also on interferon! Giving her both probably fried her immune system. Who knows what infection you could cause...?
Dr. Amber Volakis: We consulted an immunologist. She said we have...
Dr. Eric Foreman: She? You talking about Dr. Cameron?
Taub: She thought lupus was...
Dr. Eric Foreman: She tell you to start treating?
Thirteen: Yes, they've ignored you. They screwed up and it's fun watching you spank them, but can we get back to the medicine?
Dr. Eric Foreman: The last thing any of you give a damn about is the medicine! Look, I'm not saying you're bad doctors or bad people, but House is. He created a nasty little cutthroat world, planted you in it and is watching you play. And none of it works for anyone except him.
Dr. Amber Volakis: And whoever wins.

Dr. Eric Foreman: I'm sorry. I was stubborn and arrogant.
Dr. Travis Brennan: Self-recriminations won't help her.
Thirteen: Nothing's gonna help her. She's got polio.
Dr. Amber Volakis: There's no cure, but there are treatments.
Dr. Eric Foreman: She's dying.
Taub: Yeah. Every death's a tragedy. Funny how you weren't so depressed when she was just dying because me and Amber screwed up.
Dr. Eric Foreman: And I'm also self-centered. Thanks for clarifying.
Dr. Lawrence Kutner: Don't forget self-pitying.
