"You want me to do what? Talk about myself? To a bunch of people I've never even met? Hell, I don't even like talking about myself to people who I see on a regular basis! Who decided this was a requirement anyway

Before these morons start picking out china patterns, let me set the record straight.

Yes, I am Doctor House. No, I do not have a type, and even if I did, you would most certainly not be it.

Got it? Good, glad we had this talk.

[gimpy_doctor]

Funny, that is exactly what my shrink keeps telling me. Or at least, they would, if I had one.

[sacredharpie]

"Oh, I can't see you in therapy. I see you more as the one everyone complains to and you thoughtfully announce you don't care."

[gimpy_doctor]

Right, exactly. Except that no one complains to me, unless they're dying and no one else can figure out why. Then it's all, 'Oh, Doctor House, save me!', which just gets annoying somewhere the hundredth time or so.

[sacredharpie]

"Oh, please. You love coming in to save the day. It's probably the only reason they let you run around being such an asshole to everyone."

[gimpy_doctor]

No, it's because I'm damn good at my job. Whether or not I 'run around being an asshole' is unimportant.

[sacredharpie]

"If you weren't 'damn good', as you put it, the fact that you're such an asshole would mean they'd have fired your ass long ago. So, yes, your being an asshole is unimportant, but only because you're good, or so you say."

[gimpy_doctor]

A bit confusing, but sure, why not. What, do you want a personal reference or something?

[sacredharpie]

She snorted. "Not really. Do you?"

[gimpy_doctor]

If I said yes, would you give me one?

[sacredharpie]

"Depends. What do I get out of it?"

[gimpy_doctor]

Well, if you're right, you get the pleasure of proving me wrong. But if I'm right...you're gonna feel so stupid.

[sacredharpie]

"I bet you make people feel stupid all the time, don't you?"

[gimpy_doctor]

Most don't need my help, believe me.

[sacredharpie]

She laughed. "Well, I don't doubt -that- for a moment. Most people are dumb."

[gimpy_doctor]

House looked at this new doctor in surprise, then gave a brief nod of agreement. He smirked to himself.
