Summary: Prequel to Account Balance Zero, telling how that arrangement began. House and Wilson negotiate a deal. Dialogue only.
Just shut up. I don’t care.
I’m trying to tell you that I’m sorry!
I’m trying to watch TV! Shut up!

Blah blah blah, how many fucking words are going to come out of your mouth? I don’t want to hear it! Go sell your stupid shit to someone who cares.
