Here's chapter 2, hopefully everything seems in character and the medicine is a little plausible!
(cut to Kutner and House standing on balcony that looks into Wilson's office, Wilson can be seen writing something down)
: Alright Miss Marple, you go in, you get what you need and you get out.
Kutner: I still don't understand why you don't just do it yourself?
House: It's a social experiment.
Kutner: Wilson won't see it that way, the guy doesn't even know me.
House: He will now.
Kutner: But- (interupted by House)
House: Just do what you're told.
Kutner: (pauses briefly thinking over something) No!
(House just gives Kutner a glare and Kutner jumps to attention and walks to Wilson's office, he knocks on the door)
Wilson: (without looking up from the paperwork) It'll just have to wait House.
Kutner: Not House this time. (Awkwardly waves)
Wilson: Kutner? Um, sorry I wasn't expecting- House normally- yes?
Kutner: Just wanted to talk.
Wilson: To talk?
(awkward silence)
Kutner: Yeah, you see I, maybe we could talk about girls? (sits down in chair)
Wilson: (gives him a strange look) I'd rather not.
Kutner: Its just that I don't always know the signs you know? Take 13- (interupted by Wilson)
Wilson: Kutner I'm not really the guy you should be asking.
Kutner: But you had 3 wives (eyes widen as he sees his cue) oh sorry, Amber, how you doing?
Wilson: Um, Kutner don't you have a patient, or somewhere you have to be?
Kutner: Yeah, but House-(pauses as he realizes his mistake)
Wilson: (sees House peeking into office and sighs) Did he put you up to this (points to House who ducks out of view)
Kutner: What House? No, he doesn't care- wait no, I mean he does care, very much in fact and- (wilson stares) yes.
Wilson: Tell House that if he wants to know how I am he has to come over here and ask me himself.
(Kutner gets up and leaves office, he meets House on the balcony)
House: So?
Kutner: He didn't say anything.
House: Oh god Kutner he's not even from the opposite sex, it shouldn't be hard to talk to him.
Kutner: He didn't want to discuss it with me, he did have a message for you though.
House: You told him I sent you there?
Kutner: Yeah, he told me to tell you to grow some balls and see him yourself. (pleased he changed the wording)
(Camera shows Wilson looking at House, intense staring moment broken by thirteen rapping on window, House and Kutner enter differntial office)
13: The patient just went into respiratory distress.
House: Shouldn't you be there then?
Taub: She's on an oxygen machine, her lungs have completely collasped.
House: Not a sympton of alcohol damage, gold star for 13. (takes pen and writes respiratory failure on white board)
Taub: Could be substance abuse, Estacy can do this sort of damage, have we run a tox screen?
House: What did the catherization tell us?
13: (ignoring House) Just because she's addicted to alcohol doesn't mean she gets doped up on drugs.
Taub: I'm just exploring all of the possibilities, if this was an ordinary patient- (interupted by 13)
13: She is ordinary but you have to assume- (interupted by House)
House : (voice louder) What did the catherization show?
13: We never finished it, her lungs gave out before we could see anything.
Taub: We can't do anything now anyway, we need to come up with a new hypothesis.
House: Someone's been reviewing their scientific method. Ideas, besides substance abuse?
13: Lupus?
Kutner: No she'd need to have a low platelets levels and hers are fine. How about a fungus, would explain the heart, lungs maybe even the liver.
House: It would explain everything except the high fever.
Foreman: (enters room reading chart) The respiratory distress was caused by a pulmonary embelism, the problem's her heart.
House: Which we didn't get a look in last time. (looks at 13 and Taub)
13: Because she crashed.
House: Thanks for the recap. Who wants to try operation again, be careful if you hit something important the patient's nose might turn red.
Foreman: Or the patient could go into relaspe, we could at least check the home first. Look for toxins, heavy metals. Maybe actually ask the patient a few questions before risking her life again.
House: Sissy. Fine you and 13 go check out the home. (Foreman and 13 leave office)
Kutner: We're still going to do the catherization aren't we?
(House nods)
Taub: Foreman's right, we need to get more information before we just start sticking things in her.
House: Fine you want to talk to her, let's go straight to the source. We're going to talk, heart to heart.
(House and Kutner leave room, leaving Taub standing there alone)
(cut to procedure room, House and Kutner standing over body)
House: If you want something done right, you need to do it yourself.
(Cuddy is seen approaching the glass door)
Cuddy: House!
House: God, does everyone rat me out in this hospital.
Cuddy: (enters room) Do you think we could talk?
House: A little busy.
Cuddy: (grabs his arm) Stop it. Your patient isn't ready for this, you have no information.
House: Which is why I need to run this test.
Cuddy: You can wait. (turns to Kutner) Dr. Kutner, turn off the machine.
House: Party pooper.
Cuddy: Thank God one of your team members had enough common sense to come get me.
House: Not really fair considering Foreman and 13 are out checking out the patient's home.
(cut to Foreman and 13 in Judy's kitchen)
Foreman: (running her finger over counter) This woman is a neat-freak, I can't find a single piece of dust anywhere.
13: Is that a crime?
Foreman: No, I'm just surprised. For someone who can't keep her life together, she sure can keep a clean house.
13: Her alcoholism doesn't mean she can't perform basic functions. (checking under the sink, takes a sample)
Foreman: Actually it kind of does, lack of desire to do anything, antisocial behaviour, general laziness.
13: Sounds like House.
Foreman: Another addict. Her house doesn't indicate a alcoholic, it seems more like a high society, tea party sort of giving lady. (takes a sample of raw meet in refridgerator)
13: And how would you know what an alcoholic's house would look like, besides the textbook analysis of course.
Foreman: Why are you so intent on defending this woman against any remark made about her alcoholism. First you chew out Taub and now me, I'm merely stating what I see.
13: (refiles through cupboard) You're making assumptions about people.
Foreman: You are as well. (looks out of window and sees perfectly kept vegetable garden)
13: (comes out with bottle of pils) This is weird.
Foreman: Wierder than an alcoholic with a perfectly kept vegetable garden?
13: (handles bottle to Foreman) Its paracetamol.
(Commercials)
