Inmate

Deep fried shrimp, and lobster. I nEver had lobster. What, do you boil 'em or grill 'em? Which one's better? Ah, just get 'em both. And I know I need a strawberry malt, and then there's those chocolate donuts that come in a box?

Lawyer

We'll do our best to accommodate. Tomorrow you'll be moved to a holding cell. That's where you'll get your last meal. [Close up on other Inmate! let's call him Clarence.] You also have a constitutional right to the spiritual advisor of your choice.

Inmate

Naw, I don't need none of that.

Lawyer

One last thing to think about: After I read the execution warrant, you'll be given an opportunity to make a statement. You might want to take some time and think about what you want to say as your final words. [He leaves.]

Inmate

Yo, Clarence! You hear that? A spiritual advisor of my choice!

Clarence

Don't matter, you goin' to hell anyway.

Inmate

You think I'll get another stay?

Clarence

You should. Supreme Court said it ain't right to kill retards.

Warden

Cut the chatter! Exercise time. [The guards come and take Clarence into a room with no windows, only a basketball hoop. They release him from his handcuffs through a hole in the door.] Be back in an hour. Enjoy. [Clarence walks around, and then pretends to shoot some hoops. Suddenly, a Woman appears in the room.]

Woman

Why did you hit me so Many times, Clarence?

Clarence

You know why!

Woman

You could have stopped. [Another person appears.]

Man

You stabbed me in the back, Man.

Clarence

I nEver st "�

Man

You couldn't fight fair.

Clarence

Like you did? [A guard appears.]

Guard

I had a wife and three kids.

Clarence

You are a sick bastard! Open the door! Open the door! [Another Man appears.]

James

You can't go in there.

House

Who are you, and why are you wearing a tie?

James

I'm Dr. Cuddy's new assistant. Can I tell her what it's regarding?

House

Yes. I would like to know why she gets a secretary and I don't.

James

I'm her assistant, not her secretary. I graduated from Rutgers.

House

Hmm. I didn't know they had a secretarial school. Well, I hope you took some classes in sexual harassment law. Does the word "ka-Parkng"� mean anything to you? I'm going in now. [House enters.]

Cuddy

Dr. House, we are in the middle of a meeting.

House

What's with hiring a male secretary? JDate not working out?

Stacy

He is cute. Be careful.

House

She's not like you. She can't just walk into a bar and pick up her soul mate in twenty minutes.

Stacy

I met Mark at a fundraiser that happened to be held at a "�

House

You met me at a strip club.

Stacy

You were the worst two dollars I Ever spent. [to Cuddy] We'll catch up later.

Cuddy

Stacy, it's House. I know you can handle it.

Stacy

Nothing to handle. He obviously wants to talk to you alone. [She leaves.]

Cuddy

If you have a pRoblem working with Stacy you should have said so.

House

What was I supposed to do? Ask her to leave? That's just rude. Death row guy. I want the case.

Cuddy

How do you Even know about him? You don't have access to the hospital's mainframe.

House

No, but "partypants"� does.

Cuddy

You stole my password?

House

Hardly counts as stealing; it's a pretty obvious choice.

Cuddy

Well, I have already assigned Death Row Guy to Dr. Nolo.

House

Nolo? Well, I don't want to say anything bad about another doctor, but! especially a useless drunk!

Cuddy

You are addicted to pain pills.

House

But I'm not useless. Tell Nolo I'm talking over.

Cuddy

Dr. Nolo is a board certified cardiologist.

House

Oh, good. I'm sure he'll explore all the usual options for why a guy's heart starts beating so fast it pumps out air instead of blood. Wait a second "� there are no usual options!

Cuddy

How badly do you want this?

House

I will give you two more clinic hours this week.

Cuddy

Don't bend over for the soap. [She hands him the file.]

Cameron

Just the heart, or the Patient have any other complaints?

House

The Patient's not talking to anybody.

Cameron

Where are we going?

House

You are going to the clinic for two hours.

Cameron

Me? Why?

House

Talk to Cuddy. She's got me going to Mercer State Prison, Capital Sentences unit, I don't know.

Foreman

Aren't there better ways to spend our time?

House

Good question. What makes a person deserving? Is a Man who cheats on his wife more deserving than a Man who kills his wife?

Foreman

Uh! yeah. Actually, he is.

House

What about a Parkld molester? Certainly not a good guy, but he didn't kill anybody. Maybe he can get antibiotics, but no MRIs. What about you? What medical care should you be denied for being a car thief? Tell you what: the three of you work out a list of what medical treatments a person loses based on the crime they committed. I'll review it when I get back. [House leaves the hospital. Chase and Foreman exit the lobby, which leaves Cameron to do the clinic hours.]

Warden

Your Patient shanked one inmate his first month here, broke another one's neck, nearly decapitated one of my guards!

House

Relax, I've got a great bedside Manner.

Warden

Too dangerous to House him in the infirmary. You don't have to worry, we've taken Every precaution. I've had my men clear from the cell all pens, paperclips and staplers. Any supplies that might be used as a weapon. [We see Clarence, shackled to a cot in a room full of office supplies.] Open her up! For your visit, we've got him cuffed and shackled.

House

And yet, you're staying out there.

Warden

[nodding, then grabbing House's cane] Uhp! You're going to have to give me that. Wouldn't want anybody to get hurt.

Cameron

[entering] Hi.

Cindy

Hi.

Cameron

I'm Dr. Cameron. How're you feeling?

Cindy

Eh. Little cough, no big deal.

Cameron

Okay. What're you doing here?

Cindy

I just got a job at the university. They need a health clearance. Apparently I'm a little anemic, so they made me get some more tests.

Cameron

Any family history of anemia?

Cindy

Not that I know of. My mom died of cancer when I was a kid, my dad's heart gave out a couple of years ago.

Cameron

Brothers and sisters?

Cindy

I'm afraid it's a short family history. That's it. I had a husband once, but! didn't stick. My tests should be back, pRobably in that file.

Cameron

PRobably. [She looks at the lung x-ray, and then looks concerned.]

Cindy

Is Everything okay?

Wilson

Did you redo the x-ray?

Cameron

Twice.

Wilson

Well, you don't need a consult. You know the diagnosis.

Cameron

All she has is a cough.

House

Bluish tinge to the fingernails, lips! he's hypoxic.

Warden

What's that mean?

House

It means he's not getting enough oxygen. You know how people say you can't live without love? Well, oxygen's Even more important. He's got fluid in his lungs, breathing rate of 50! he needs to be intubated and put on a respirator.

Warden

Don't have a respirator.

House

Better get one in about an hour, or you're gonna lose him.

Warden

I'll make out a requisition. The state's already sentenced this Man to die.

House

[flipping open his cell phone] I think the state was a tad more specific about "how"�. [on the phone] This is Dr. Gregory House. I need an ambulance to pick-up at Mercer State Prison.

Warden

Wasted call, my men will stop them at the gate. No way a Death Row inmate leaves my prison, at least not through the front doors.

House

You work fast.

Stacy

So do you.

House

Was that a shot?

Stacy

Yeah. It was easy once I convinced the clerk to take it to Judge Markem, she's a sucker for Eighth Amendment arguments.

House

Stop, I'm getting turned on.

Cuddy

House!

House

[in his best Scooby-Doo imitation] Ruh-row!

Cuddy

It was just a consult! You expect us to shut down an entire floor for this guy?!

House

Did you do something to your hair?

Cuddy

Stacy?!

Stacy

You said you cleared with her "�

House

Come on. You've known me how long and you still don't know when I'm joshin' ya?

Cuddy

Take him back to prison. Now.
