[Normally she's not so spiteful, but the idea of someone kicking House's cane out from under him because of a nasty comment is enough to earn an amused hum.]
I'd tell you to add one more to the list, but you've suffered enough already. I'm pretty sure the only thing worse than being stuck to Doctor House is being stuck to Doctor House on the floor.

Stuck to him while hanging out of a building?
[Which is worse, but likely not the worst.]
The more you think about how much you have to go to the bathroom, though, the more you'll have to go. [Pause.] What's a four letter word foooor - never mind. That's easy enough that my brother could figure it out. Crap.

I thought you -
Never mind.
[She is pleased by laughing, but not if it ends up exacerbating the problem at hand.]
Are you asking what a nine letter word for bracelet is? [Pause, though there is some under-the-breath counting going on.] Bracelet...s? Handcuffs. Oh, wait, no. Wristband!
That would work. [Better than bracelet...s] But it's not what I meant. Bracelet nine, Claire Bennet. Also... calibre... ten... rentable nice. Tenable nicer.
...Celebrate Inn. You could be in the hotel trade.
So the laws of gravity do apply to jerks. All this time, I just kept thinking they were kept upright by their own egos and bad ethnic jokes.

Actually the jokes have seen him laid out more than once before now.

I'm pretty sure there are are few things worse. I'm going with not thinking about them.

[And that gets a laugh. Points for effort, Claire.]
If crap was the four letter word then you're bad at changing the subject. Bracelet nine.

At least your ability to think under pressure hasn't been affected. Did you just think of that?

[SORRY Claire.]
They're just word games. Want to know House's? Huge ego, sorry.
[That one is already well known. But with a little more thinking...]
Go surgery hoe.
[He is probably getting a look right now.]

[It's okay, she is laughing. A lot. Laughing = points and free passes.]
I'm never gonna be able to look at House with respect again. [Pause.] Ohhhhh, waaaaaait.
[Claire thinks she can feel the look Chase is probably getting through the device, but she is too busy still laughing.]
You realize that you're just giving him an opening to figure out that if you mix your letters around you get Beach Resort, right?

[He's forced to duck his head and giggle, which probably sounds all echoey since the device is in his top coat pocket.]
When he figures it out he's going to need to find someone who Bothers Care. I'm going to be at the shore.

Just for calling me an Ancient Rebel, I'm changing your name in my phone to... Aborts Cheer.
[And another pause, this one filled with an expectant sort of quiet.]
Did you just giggle?
Reply
[And some hasty coughing.]
..No?
[A suspiciously squeaky denial.]
