ACT 10: Darkness Falls
SCENE 1:
Parking garage. House and Cameron are standing by House's car. They exchange keys.
CAMERON: Promise me you aren't going to go through all my personal stuff.
HOUSE: Promise (but he looks sheepishly at her)
CAMERON: I will try to think of something to get us out of this mess.
HOUSE: I thought you said it was fun.
CAMERON: Well, the cramps got me over that really fast. (grabs stomach doubles over in pain) I don't know how you do it.
HOUSE: What did you eat? I told you not to eat anything bad.
CAMERON: I was hungry. I didn't think one little Hershey Kiss could hurt.
HOUSE: Well, now you know better.
CAMERON: How long is it going to last?
HOUSE: The pain? Just a couple of days. Oh, don't rush with switching us back. It can wait until after my period.
FADE OUT
SCENE 2:
House's apartment. The door opens and House walks in, looking around. Mood music plays in background as House wonders around, looking at pictures and reading book titles, and papers that are laying around. He runs a hand over the keys of the piano and smiles.
SCENE 3:
Cameron's apartment. The door opens and Cameron walks in nervously. She pops a Vicodin and looks around. She shakes her head as she sees a teddy bear on the couch. She goes to the kitchen, looks in the freezer, then in the fridge. She pulls out a wine cooler, again shakes her head disappointedly and takes a big swig from the bottle. Then she plops down on the couch, puts her feet up on the coffee table and picks up the remote. Clicks through channels as we fade out.
SCENE 4:
House's house. House goes into kitchen. Opens up cabinets. Shot of nearly empty cabinets. He opens the fridge. Shot of fridge, some condiments, beer and several take out containers. He closes fridge and picks up the phone to order takeout. Shaking his head.
SCENE 5:
Cameron's house. Cam clicks off tv. Looks at watch. It's late. Walks to several doors searching for bedroom. Find it and goes inside. Camera follows her into a pastel, rosey bedroom. Cameron cringes. Looks at the bed. Looks around the room then leaves. Camera follows her back into living room. She lays down on the couch and goes to sleep.
SCENE 6:
House's house. House walks into the bedroom and opens up a drawer. He picks up one of the shirts and holds it up to her nose, taking in a deep whiff. He smiles and puts the shirt back. Opens another drawer and pulls out some pajama bottoms. A big smile is on his face. He hesitates to remove the shirt he's wearing, does it anyway. Then takes off his pants. He looks down at himself smiling like a schoolgirl.
HOUSE: Oh, I wish I had a camera. (blushes) Stop that Alison. You can't take advantage of this situation. That would be wrong. (he puts the pajamas on over his boxers and heads to the bed) I wonder what House is doing at my place.
(Camera zooms in as a sudden look of fright crosses House's face. Then fades to place.)
