Recuperative Therapy.

It seems that several people are game for bar night. House votes this an excellent idea, Friday or not, and volunteers Giles to drive, if he can remember which side of the road to stay on.

Driving on the 'wrong' side of the road is not the issue. Driving like a very old person is. Though to be fair, it's because Giles' choice of a red car has got him six speeding tickets since moving to Gotham.

So he has become overly cautious.

notatvcharacter August 20 2009, 05:42:03 UTC

Why doesn't he get to drive, hmm? (Probably because his truck is a two-seater.)

"Y'know that you can go all the way up to the speed limit, right?"

hopeyrhappytoo August 20 2009, 05:48:31 UTC

"Oh, let the man drive his car." Alex will, perhaps, admit to a certain dislike of this 'wrong side of the road' business.

"If he were driving, we would. I think he's coasting."

bovril_and_book August 20 2009, 05:59:18 UTC

Everyone but Alex is going to get to find their own way home, Giles decides.

And finally pulls into the bar's parking lot. "Alright, everyone out."

Luke notes the 'Karaoke Night' sign as he climbs out of the car, and raises an eyebrow, but doesn't comment on it. Maybe if he just pretends it isn't there...

hopeyrhappytoo August 20 2009, 06:05:58 UTC

Yeah right. Sure, Luke. "Oh. Karaoke." Now, she wonders if she's still dosed.

housepital August 20 2009, 06:07:21 UTC

Giving the sign a sceptical look, House nonetheless heads in. "What, you don't want to watch bored housewives live their American Idol dreams? I know I do."

And besides. It's happy hour.

bovril_and_book August 20 2009, 06:09:57 UTC

No hour with singing housewives can be happy. Giles just prays for plentiful, decent alcohol and follows House.

notatvcharacter August 20 2009, 06:20:05 UTC

The one perk is that there are a bunch of other snarky bastards to suffer through this with. That's how Luke will look at it. "Five dollars says I'm going to have to teach the bartender how to make a mint julep."

hopeyrhappytoo August 20 2009, 06:23:38 UTC

"Five dollars says the bartender laughs you out of the bar." Really.

housepital August 20 2009, 06:28:32 UTC

"Five dollars won't even cover the drink."

It's not the bar Alex has been to House with before, but it's not much classier. The TV behind glass is playing boxing, and there is a back door seeing a suspicious amount of use. But at least there are no slumlords idling outside to pick up doctors.

bovril_and_book August 20 2009, 06:33:10 UTC

"I think if any of us want something with more directions then 'pour bottle' we'll need to explain it..." Giles is going to clean his glasses and ignore that back door as hard as he can.

notatvcharacter August 20 2009, 06:45:34 UTC

"Damn Yankees." He cranes his neck to see what they do have to offer, surveying the bottles behind the bar. Jim, Jack... that'll do. "'Pour bottle' it is. A bad julep's worse than one at all."

hopeyrhappytoo August 20 2009, 06:55:02 UTC

"If you say so." Drink? Why yes, she will order one or a million.

housepital August 20 2009, 07:06:51 UTC

House has obviously been here before, as he has a favorite table and is not afraid to use his cane to chase a young man and a girl who probably got in here with a fake id away from it.

"Shots of the stuff I was drinking last time, all around." Which... apparently means you're all drinking bourbon, as well.
