Summary: Wilson really is a nerd.
“Did you see that?” Wilson enthused, bursting out of the theatre into the cool night air.
“I was there, wasn’t I? Could’ve hardly missed the gigantic screen with the flashing lights in front of my face.” House replied laconically.
“It was fantastic!” Wilson went on, undeterred by his friend’s cool attitude, “It was almost, almost as good as Star Wars, and that’s saying something!”
House snorted and glared at Jimmy. “You’re bordering on blasphemy, you know that? The other nerds are totally going to kick you out of the tree house if they hear you talk like that.”
Wilson was chastened, and back-pedaled hastily, “Discounting the last three episodes, obviously. Episodes One through Three don’t even count.”
House nodded, and conceded grudgingly that the special effects in Star Trek were, in fact, very good.
“Could have totally used a lot more Uhura, though. Like a make-out scene with her and that green chick. Or a pillow fight.”
Wilson scoffed, and began describing the fight between Spock and Kirk over again, as though House hadn’t just seen it himself.
“And that elbow across the face! Crrrack!” Wilson executed it as he spoke. House had to admit that for a forty year old oncologist, the move was pretty realistic, especially when an answering noise resounded from Wilson’s back.
They both froze. They shared a look of disbelief, House’s amused and Wilson’s horrified. Then Wilson gasped in a lungful of air, and managed to breathe, “House, help! I-I can’t move!”
House cracked his first smile of the night.
“Damn it, Jim, I’m a doctor, not a chiropractor!”
