Right, lets make this as clear as possible:

[The doctor sitting in front of the monitor leans close and speaks s l o w l y.]

Mammograms are not as much fun as you think. Any more patients today with a significant family history and I'm going to start delegating to the night porter.

[Private to House & Cameron]Hemofiltration's working. At least

[There is a big, black nose steaming up the camera.]

[There is a doctor looking back sideways with some confusion.]

Hi, there.

[No moving mouth, but that collar's red light is ablaze.]

[There was a talking rat running around back when he first arrived here, but this kind of thing still counts as unusual. And a little bit cool.]

Can I help you?

[stopyoudogs]

Oh, yes. My name is Dug. I have just met you and I love you.

[worksmart]

You've just met me.

[That much they can agree on. And after that, uhhhh.]

video;

[stopyoudogs]

Yes I have. My name is Dug. Have you seen a bird?

video;

[worksmart]

I've heard a few. Is that any good?

['You can talk.' would be such a pointless observation, but it's still the largest part of Chases's thoughts, here.]

I do not know but I am on the scent. I am a good tracker and my master put me on the scent to capture the bird because I am a good tracker.

[worksmart]

But birds... [Scent wouldn't usually be...] is it a flying bird? [Why does he feel suddenly involved?]

video;

[stopyoudogs]

[He feels involved because of this big nose pressing against the screen. And this big tail wagging, wagging, wagging.]

Oh, I have never seen the bird but I know I can find it because I am on the scent and when I see it I will know it. Then I will have been a good dog.

[worksmart]

You've never seen the bird. [Curse you, amiable waggy tail. If you were in person Chase would be self consciously giving scritches.] How did you smell it?

[stopyoudogs]

[Dug will just be unconsciously stretching.]

From my master. I am tracking it for my master because he needs it. And when I bring the bird back as my prisoner, then he will like me.

[worksmart]

[Dug. You are Chase.]

Why don't you bring back another bird and tell your master it's what he's looking for?

[Except Chase is sneaky.]

video;

[stopyoudogs]

[Chase, are you TRYING to get him in trouble? Sheesh.]

My master would know it was not the right bird. He has been looking his whole life for the bird. And now I am here to find the bird. It is my very important mission.

[worksmart]

[He can't help it, it's what Chases do best.]

What can the bird do?
