Soap Opera

Dr. Wilson entered his colleague's office, noticing House was searching for something.

"I can't find the remote... did you take it?"

"Now why would I do that?" he asked, crossing his arms.

"To make my life even more complicated," he replied as he popped a few Vicodins. "You just want to see me limp over to turn the damn thing on."

"Aren't there more important things than soap operas... say, for instance, your patient?"

House laughed. "Life is a soap opera, Wilson. I need a break from it once in a while. And Susan Lucci's cleavage has a calming effect."
