DIALOGO
[House grabs his cane off the table and gets up]
Thirteen: Then that leaves infection.
Kutner: He'd be brimming with white blood cells.
House: Or we are at the back stage door of a Duran Duran concert. Hundreds of screaming girls clustered around. What does that mean?
Kutner: That girls like rock bands.
House: The presence of the fans indicates the presence of the band. Different night — same band, same door. Now there's not a girl in sight. What does that mean?
Thirteen: Sorry, I don't speak hair band.
Kutner: They weren't a hair band. They were new romantics. The band already left?
House: Nope, the band's still there, still rocking out. When does the absence of the fans not indicate the absence of the band?
Thirteen: When it's 2009. There aren't any Duran Duran fans.
House: They don't make ‘em anymore. If there's no infection, it's because there aren't any fans, no white cells.
Taub: You think, his spleen?
House: Why do I bother with these great metaphors if I still have to spell it out? Yes, I think it's his spleen. Go get a biopsy. I'll try to get "New moon on Monday" out of my head.
I'M CHANGING MY NAME JUST AS THE SUN GOES DOWN
Are you laughing at me now?In my circumstance
When still I wear your crown Some cruel penitence
For what?
