This vs That
I was watching "Damned If You Do..." tonight and two little scenes caught my attention. Let's compare and contrast, shall we?
--
Cameron: I just wanted to say that I know you did everything you could.
House: I don't need verification from you to know that I'm doing my job well. That's your problem, not mine.
Cameron: I was just being nice.
House: Yeah, well, you don't need to always do that.
Later...
Cuddy: You did good, with the nun. Congratulations.
House: [softly] Thank you.
Cuddy: [sweetest smile ever] Merry Christmas, Dr. House. Dr. Wilson. [walks away, House watches her go]
Wilson: That was sweet.
[House smiles a bit and picks up his cup of coffee.]
--
First of all, obligatory aww. AWW!
Second, basically Cameron and Cuddy told him the same thing, and yet he barked at Cameron and softened up considerably with Cuddy. Also, when Cameron is nice to him he's all, "oh, GOD, don't start with the fucking fluffy bunnies again," but when Cuddy is nice, nay, SWEET, he just smiles.
House, you are so Cuddy's bitch.
