When is Cuddy going to learn, you can't leave the toys out around the children. tsk

Hee to House coming up with his cunning plan and Cuddy totally haveing it all covered. The psychotic break line was awesome

yeah, but if there isn't something available for house to fidget with, the implications could be staggering! ;)

Wonderful dialog. Princess Leia really handles House very well.

I love how House is handling Wilson. It's so unusual for him to worry about how someone else feels and yet he's gently shoving Wilson forward while acting like himself so Wilson doesn't feel manipulated. Very nice.

i honestly believe that when House decides that he needs to do what's best for wilson, house will always come through with flying colors! (and the rest of the time, he wants us (and wilson) to grossly underestimate the depth of his concern for his friend.

[arhh]

I agree with that. Haven't decided exactly why he is like that, either really crappy emotional upbringing or lessons he feel he has been taught that state if you let yourself really care about anyone and let it be known, they will leave you. *hugs House*

This just cracks me right up every time I read it. I really like the little additions about Wilson not actually eating his lunch, too.

And House's plan -- holy cow. Was there actually something coherent under all that babbling? It's hilarious. "I thought I was Princess Leia!"

Once again, I adore your Cuddy. You get her wit just right. " ... but once I realized that you have tenure ..." may be my favorite line in this whole ... well, no. Can't pick a favorite.

Oh, and I totally love it that House actually admits that he only wants fries if they're Wilson's and he can steal them. Because, as we all ought to know by now, House's thieving ways are much less about the food than they are about getting away with it because his friend will let him.

i had to add that, as if i hadn't, then that whole food thingy in the next vignette wouldn't have... well, you know! ;)

[arhh]

Cuddy and Wilson both stare at House while Cuddy continues, “And of course… you… do realize… that you, uh… get House back.”

Yes :) Just what Wilson wanted and needed all along. I almost cried at that, and that is just something I don't do nor admit to.

Just what Wilson wanted and needed all along

exactly--the best perk of getting the job back!

I wish you wrote for the show. This -
“I thought I was Princess Leia!” Cuddy objects to Wilson.
“Different empire,” he informs her matter-of-factly, while House glowers at both of them.
is as good or better than any quip this season.

I wish you wrote for the show

but if i wrote for the show, we would've all been deprived of that wonderful, engrossing, well-researched, factually-written Tritter arc! :) think how empty our lives would be!! [rofl]
