0531天母牛象戰

本來想去看昨天的牛象戰，但大家都知道昨天那場一定滿場，在牛版上的票一下就被搶光，我差點就搶到，殘念阿~~~
所以就龜在家看電視轉播，看著看著，我竟然睡著了~~~~~睡了半局，發現還是一樣的比數，所幸按下錄影，睡醒繼續看。還好我有錄，不然八下那個大局就錯過了。

睡醒看完比賽，我還是很想現場看球，繼上次跟Jessie看過以後，都是一個人去球場看球，地點都是新莊。剛好看到版上有人在賣一張票，索性買了下來，就這樣今天出發到天母看球。

一樣照慣例，在路上買了得來速，然後進球場看球。下午兩點的太陽真的很耀眼，我大概1點半進去，球賽還沒開始，我已經感覺的牛仔褲上面的皮帶環扣已經溫溫的了。賣我票的是一群大學生，如果我沒看錯可能是台大的學生。位置在B4區8排8號，也就是加油團這區。賣我票的是三牛三象迷，前面坐三個牛，後面三個象，他們感情很好，所以大象願意委屈在火牛陣裏面。

比賽還沒開始，我已經快昏倒了，有夠熱的，感覺太陽免錢一樣。時間到了，一個小朋友先開球，旁邊這群大學生都說他丟不到本壘，都叫林益全往前蹲，但沒想到這個小朋友臂力竟然不錯，球直到本壘板前面才落下，大家一點都不吝嗇的給予掌聲。開完球後是牛牛辣妹加油隊，昨天我在電視上有看到她們，其中有一位一直忘記舞步，而且動作都沒做滿，讓我很失望，今天現場看感覺他們有特別加強，至少不會有太多不一樣，但我覺得統一的啦啦隊還是比牛的好。

啦啦隊表演完就正式比賽了，前面三局林爸一直抵擋不住攻勢，前五局比完一直是4比1落後。有夠悶的，還一直猛打哈欠。中場我買了杯蔓越莓汁，回來繼續看六上。六上最後一個出局數是鄭達鴻接殺的高飛球，然後達鴻帶著球慢跑回休息室，大家都知道如果球星願意，他們會把球丟給觀眾。達鴻此時慢了腳步，手套往前方比了一下，好像是在跟我比的樣子，然後就看到一顆球從他手中丟出，方向就是我這個方向，高度就是我這個高度，我二話不說站了起來，雙手徒手把球接住，我前面一排的一個男生也過還跟我搶，不過我在他上面，硬是把球抓牢，就這樣，我生平第一次在球賽中接到球。

這種感覺真的很難形容，我接到球的剎那，一直在懷疑這是夢嗎？當我看到達鴻示意要丟球的時候，感覺就是跟我eye-contact，接到球以後手還在抖，旁邊的大學生跟我借球去，大家都很想知道比賽用球長什麼樣子。我接到球以後有舉手示意，也往三壘側的鏡頭揮手示意，我心機好深阿~~~

這顆球就這樣陪我看完比賽，後面的比賽越看越悶，大概八局的時候我竟然還睡著兩個人次，不管鼓離我多近，我竟然真的睡著了。

比賽終了，預期中的落敗，就跟大學生們道別，走去牽車，路中經過牛巴，本想給達鴻簽名的，不過我看那麼多工作人員為出一條走道，而且加上人又不少，自己覺得應該簽不到，而且我也沒帶筆，所以下次有機會再簽吧~~~

0531天母牛象戰，我喜歡~~~

The Celebrity Apprentice Season2 EP11 Frinal

Episode 811 | Season 8 | 05/10/2009
Donald Trump appears in the great entrance hall of New York's Museum of Natural History to introduce tonight's show. He still hasn't decided who will win. He walks through a door, past a cheering crowd, and up onto tonight's stage. Joan and Annie uneasily stand by side by side. A taped segment runs, shot shortly after the two were named finalists. It's palpable how much the two finalists dislike each other.

 

 

At Trump's cue, a slew of former contestants come in: Brande, Clint, Herschel, Melissa, Tom, and Dennis. Annie is given first choice of who'll she'll add to her team; she picks Brande first. Joan chooses Herschel. Annie goes on to select Dennis and Tom, while Joan picks Clint and Melissa.

 

 

 

Trump explains the final task: a Cirque du Soleil benefit performance preceded by a major charity event featuring a silent auction. The celebs will sell tickets to people on the street. They must also acquire unique auction items from their celebrity sources. And as part of the tie-in with Kodak, they'll create a limited edition Celebrity Apprentice commemorative picture frame. The winner will be determined not only on the basis of money raised, but also by how well the Kodak product is integrated, the charity integration, the celebrities in attendance, and the overall event experience. On stage, Trump is joined by former contestants Andrew Dice Clay, Scott Hamilton, Claudia Jordan, Brian McKnight, and Jesse James. Trump spends a few moments interviewing each of them.

The teams get started on their tasks. Annie implores Dennis to tap his friends; in short order he raises $20,000 in cash from the Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Lakers, two of his former NBA teams. Meanwhile Joan is revving up her team and tapping into her network to do everything she can to beat Annie. "I need your help," she tells a friend on the phone. "This is good versus evil."

 

 

 

Jim Cramer appears for a quick recap and breaks down the advantages of each finalist. Joan has won 6 tasks, Annie 7. He explains that Annie's a shrewd and calculating player who's all business; she's raised more money. By contrast, Joan is all heart, a player who evokes great loyalty. "Mr. Trump, you've got one tough decision on your hands," he laments.

 

 

 

Jeff Hayzlett, the Kodak exec, meets with Joan and team to go over his company's goals for the product rollout at the charity event. He explains that, while the celebs are used to being on the red carpet, the night should make the ordinary folks who are attending feel like they're special tooâ€"the teams need to create a Kodak moment for them.

 

 

 

Jeff visits Annie and team to give the same sort of orientation. He explains lots of product features and abilities, occasionally interrupted by Tom. Annie feels Tom's questions are a distraction and shuts him down, much to his perturbation.

 

 

 

Joan kicks the fundraising effort into gear. Clint announces that he really doesn't know any celebrities in New York and that his fundraising sources are tapped out. Joan's not happy; she assigns him the task of wrangling items for the auction. "It feels like a three-man team," she says. Joan then gets down to calling in favors from her vast network of contacts. She wants to do more than beat Annie; she's clearly out for blood. Annie leads her team, pushing hard for them to ramp up their fundraising efforts. She leads by example, calling her poker-playing colleagues, relaying Joan's untoward comments about their profession, and then giving them an opportunity to help her humiliate Joan by winning the challenge.

 

The teams are each assigned a designer from the same event planning firm. Annie's arrives first and they begin reviewing the space where the VIP party will take place. The room will need a lot of work, if it's to have a real impact. As she confers with the planner, Tom and Dennis can't resist the temptation to go drop in on the conversation, just "to watch Annie not listen to us." Despite their antics, Annie pushes on, determined to make the room into something special.

 

 

Joan meets with her decorator/planner. He explains that they must capture everyone's attention in the first three seconds. Joan likes that sentiment but as she works with the planner, it's clear they're not really meshing. Rivers has thrown and attended hundreds of swanky events and knows what she wants, but she's having trouble getting her wishes across.

 

 

 

Melissa and Herschel head for Times Square, where they plan to sell their tickets to theatre goers who come to the tourist area seeking discount on Broadway shows. But on the ride, Herschel has an inspiration: if he can find a donor to buy the entire block of 80 tickets, they could then give the tickets away for free and not have to worry about selling them one by one. The plan works beautifully and soon their double-decker bus is filled with happy people who have been given tickets. They're finished with their task in mere minutes and move on to start taking pictures of people having happy moments to help fill up the photo frames with "Kodak moments." Tom and Dennis have the ticket-selling task for Annie's team; their progress is slow, but they have fun.

Donald Junior and Ivanka show up to check in on Joan's progress. She's feeling confident, but grows somewhat concerned when Ivanka reminds her that getting enough celebrities and well-heeled folks to go to the silent auction will be critical to its success. Joan redoubles her efforts. The Trumps then drop in on Annie, who briefs them on the design and branding plan for the space. They're impressed. Brande and Annie kick their silent auction effort into high gear. They're reaching out to all the celebrities they know, looking for unique event experiences that will command top dollar at silent auction.

 

Joan's growing ever more frustrated with her event planner/designer. She keeps trying to inspire him to do something original, but he keeps trying to manage her expectations downward, noting the timeframe. Joan is stalwart in her vision for the space. In frustration, she calls a local friend to come in and help try to get the project back on track. Discovering that there's another designer in the mix, David, the original event planner, quits.

 

 

Annie and Brande have their own problems. They can't get through to their event plannerâ€"the company's not returning calls. They go to the event planning firm's offices and get a very hostile reception. They're told their event planner is not available and that they must leave immediately. Apparently, the experience the firm had with Joan is so bad that the firm will have nothing to do with either team. Annie is despondent; she's convinced she's going to lose. It's after 5PM on a Friday, the night before the. She begins making desperate calls, trying to salvage the party. As Annie grows more incensed thinking about how Joan Rivers has sabotaged her efforts indirectly, she spits venom at the thought of Joan. "This woman has to die," she tells one friend.

Dennis and Tom return from selling tickets; they've sold them all. Annie welcomes the good news and lets them know that they can help most now by bringing in some celebrities for the event the next day. At 7 PM the night before the event, Annie reaches out to her designer friend Sarah, who arrives and immediately gets to work on the space. As more help arrives, Annie's overwhelmed with gratitude.

 

 

Joan calls on her New York-based charity, God's Love Delivered, for manpower help with transforming their space. They turn out in force: board members, volunteers, plus a bevy of creative contacts from around New York. The hall starts to come together. Joan assembles her team back in the war room for a status check. They're light on commitments from celebrities to attend the auction. Herschel has a brainstorm. If they can't get the real celebrities, why not celebrity impersonators? Joan's floored by the idea and they run with it.

 

 

The countdown to the party begins. Clint and Herschel put the finishing touches on the auction items while Joan and Melissa work on integrating Kodak into the evening by filling the photo frames with meaningful moments shot taken on the streets of New York. Annie entrusts Tom with a similar task to put video files on his team's frames, but she's not happy with his follow through. Tom is taken aback, explaining that he's an expert with cameras and videos. She assigns him the task of filling the one-of-a-kind Celebrity Apprentice picture frame with behind-the-scenes photos. Annie whirls through the room, tending to last-minute details. The doors are ready to open.

 

Joan reviews the silent auction tables and discovers that Clint appears in just about all the frames; she has several changed out. The celebrity impersonators arrive, the final touches are put in place and Joan is now officially having fun. "No one can throw a better party than my mother," Melissa beams.

 

 

 

Dennis gets into the act by showing up in an over-the-top blue dress and invites patrons to have pictures taken with him. Celebrity guests arrive, including Joe Frazier, Oksana Baiul, and Phil Helmuth. Three characters from Cirque Du Soleil show up as well, adding to the party atmosphere. Annie works the room, driving up bids on the silent auction items. Next door at Joan's event, it's also a star-studded event as Kathy Griffin, Kyle MacLachlan, the cast of the musical Chicago, and others mingle freely with the celebrity impersonators and the guests for the evening.

 

 

The Trumps arrive and begin working their way through the two parties. Jeff, the Kodak exec, also shows up and gets briefed by Annie on how his products are being integrated with the theme of the party. He loves what he sees. He gets a similar briefing from Melissa at the other party and is also impressed. The donors are impressed too, writing checks and bidding up the silent auction items at both events. Joan is overcome at the prospect of raising more money for her charity. "This puts us in a whole new league," she gushes. "Even if I lose tonight, I've won."

 

 

The parties are over and the guests are herded onto double-decker busses for transport to Madison Square Garden for Cirque du Soleil's new show, Wintuk. The celebs from both teams sit together. Their final tasks over, they can now relax and enjoy the show.

 

 

 

Afterwards, Trump summons Annie, Joan and their teams to the boardroom at Trump Tower. After asking Melissa about her prior behavior after being fired (storming off, hurling epithets), he turns to the performance of the individuals and leaders on the party task. Joan is not effusive in praising her team, saying only that "they got it done." Annie is universally complimentary. Asked about Annie as a leader, Dennis is very positive. "She came through with flying colors," he says.

 

 

Trump asks Annie about how she handled her designer. She claims she worked fine with hers, but that Joan mishandled her designer so much that her decorator quit too. Joan is outraged, branding Annie's accusations a "total lie." Annie expresses that she doesn't know exactly what happened, only what the head of the event planning firm told her. Joan is livid and screams at Annie. Annie remains cool and firm. Joan goes for the jugular. "I've been told all your money is Mafia money." She tells Annie. Annie is outraged but still keeps her composure, despite the character assassination.

 

Ivanka gives the report on how much money was raised. Joan's team raised $150,830; Annie raised $465, 725. Including this task, the teams have raised over a million and a half dollars over the show's ten week run. Donald Trump, Junior reports on how the teams were judged on charity integration (one of the five criteria). Annie's team was deemed to have done the better job. Conversely, Joan's team was chosen as superior on the criteria of celebrities in attendance, the Kodak integration, and the overall experience. "We felt Joan's party was more fun," Ivanka reveals. Trump thanks all the contestants and says goodbye, leaving only Annie and Joan. He explains that the final decision will be tough.

 

Back live onstage, Melissa, Clint, and Herschel return, along with Dennis, Tom, and Brande. Trump asks Dennis how he's doing. Dennis says he's saddened by this week's loss of his old friend, NBA coach Chuck Daly, but that he's otherwise fine. Prodded by Trump, he does complain about Jesse's past treatment of him, feeling he embarrassed him needlessly. Dennis attacks Jesse for claiming that he has no contacts with moneyâ€"pointing out that his wife makes huge sums of money every time she works on a movie. Jesse counters that Dennis is just trying to divert the conversation away from himself. He calls Dennis stupid for not recognizing that he's just been trying to help him. Trump puts an end to the bickering, telling Jesse it's not nice to call people stupid.

 

Trump turns to Melissa, asking her if she was embarrassed at her meltdown after being fired. Melissa minimizes it, saying it was in the heat of the moment and not a reaction to her firing. Brande weighs in that she was surprised and hurt by the "whore-pit viper" epithet Melissa hurled at herâ€"but that she laughs about it now with her friends.

 

 

 

Trump welcomes Annie and Joan to the stage, to tremendous applause. He asks them whether they're glad they took part in the competition. They're both gratefulâ€"their charities have benefited greatly. Trump then polls the former players as to whom he should fire; their reactions are mixed, with most choosing Joan. We learn more about the two finalists' charities, God's Love Delivered and Refugees Internationalâ€"and why the causes are so important to them personally.

 

 

Trump then brings last year's winner to the stage, Piers Morgan as well as the runner-up, Trace Adkins. They discuss the huge impact that Celebrity Apprentice has had on their chosen charities from last year. Trump then asks them who should win. Trace picks Joan, because her dedication to her charity seems to prove she's the most determined. Piers also chooses Joan, based solely on the criteria set out in the final task: Joan's team took 3 of the 5 criteria, while Annie captured only two.

 

 

Annie and Joan are seated for a final grilling from Trump at the boardroom table. He asks Joan why she should win. She stresses that her way of doing business is the new American way: honorable, without grabbing from others who can get hurt. Annie calmly explains that she's the better choice: she's raised more money, won more tasks. Trump counters that she lost the last task, 3 criteria to 2. Annie explains that Joan sabotaged the final task for her by ruining the relationship with the event planning company, ultimately leaving her without a designer. She goes on to say that Joan's vindictive character assassination would never be allowed in a real boardroom. The crowd boos. Joan counterattacks, restating that, unlike her opponent, she's always open and honest in her dealings. She calls Annie "two-faced."

Mr. Trump checks in with his children for their final advice. Ivanka praises both finalists: Annie was a great game-player and tough, while Joan was tenacious and a great role model. Donald Trump, Junior adds that it's a really tough call; overall, he admires Annie, because of her game-playing ability. Trump considers the finalists' fates one last time. He's amazed at the performances of the teamsâ€"and the fact that over 1.5 Million dollars has been raised for charity. He now has to make his call. He chooses Joan Rivers as The Celebrity Apprentice!

 

 

終於，終於，終於Final了！

這集先進行最後一個任務，最後在美國New York's Museum of Natural History進行最後決選。再進行任務之前，Trump一如往常叫回幾位之前的猜賽者，讓John和Annie挑。

John: Clint, Herschel, Melissa
Annie: Brande, Tom, and Dennis

Clint又是老樣子，懶人不做事，Melissa則是非常聰明，她知道Annie一定不會選他，所以她跟她媽媽說叫她最後一個在選她，以免浪費掉第一個選擇權。所以John毫不猶豫的選擇Herschel。

兩個領導風格完全不同的人，帶兩著兩隊到底會有甚麼不一樣的結果呢？你喜歡高壓的Annie嗎? 你喜歡帶著感情領導的 John嗎?

這集的任務真的很詭異，我看得很沒重心，反正就是替柯達做電子相框的Party，在Party上將蒐集而來的拍賣品義賣，所得的金額將會佔最後評比的五分之一。同時要把一部馬戲團表演門票全數售出，在Party之後全部的人都去看這次的表演。布置場地的公關公司，因為John的某些關係，最後不做了，這也間接導致Annie沒有人幫她佈置，這也許是個事實，但又不是只有Annie沒有人幫她佈置，John也沒有阿，所以兩隊的起跑點是一樣的，這不是藉口。

任務結束，五項評比裡面，John贏的了三項，Annie則是兩項。

最後在博物館裡面進行決選，Trump也一一訪問了所有參賽者，其中我覺得穿的最漂亮的反而是Melissa，而不是Brande。Dennis被問及之前那段被酒精迷糊掉的日子，帶點哀愁，幽怨，無奈，抱怨，動怒的語氣針對起Jesse，而Jesse則是語氣堅定，帶點溫柔，柔性勸導跟他說，我們大家都很愛你，在乎你。Jesse表現得太棒了，一整個把Dennis比下去。

之後嘉賓出現，就是上一季的一二名Piers Morgan, Trace Adkins。兩個人都被問及支持誰，兩個都支持John。連Dennis都支持John了，就知道Annie晚節不保了。

最後第二季的The Apprentice 正式出爐，It's John!!!!!!!!!!!

溫柔的慈悲戰勝邪惡的高壓統治~~~~~~~~oh  YA~~~~~

House Season3 EP24

Human Error

Episode 324 : 2007-05-29

A Coast Guard helicopter hovers over the ocean. A Cuban refugee named Marina Hernandez sits in the cabin, wrapped in thermal blankets and shivering from hypothermia. An officer struggles to save her husband Esteban from the choppy water below, but Esteban refuses to let go of Marina's suitcase. With the chopper running low on fuel, the officer dunks Esteban which forces him to release the suitcase before pulling him to safety. On board, Esteban screams in Spanish that Marina's medical records are in the suitcase and that Dr. House needs to see them. Esteban watches helplessly as the suitcase floats away.

Cuddy tries reaching House, but he is no longer answering his cell phone because he has become "world famous." Instead, House watches from a distance as Foreman attends a going-away lunch with the nursing staff.

Later, Chase and Cameron go over Marina's admission exam while Foreman checks his email. House saunters in to see where they are. Since Fidel Castro emphasizes medical care in Cuba, House figures that Marina has already been filled with antibiotics. He rules out simple diseases like parasites or infection and requests an MRI. He also wants the team to check Esteban for any symptoms caused by being stranded at sea. They can subtract those from Marina's list.

Chase observes that Foreman isn't going to leave. This piques House's interest. Chase thinks Foreman doesn't want to leave and that House doesn't want to let him leave. He assumes House will cave, just like he did with Cameron. Foreman obviously wants something from House, so Chase suggests he try telling Foreman what he wants to hear.

Foreman discovers that Marina has Multiple Sclerosis. They should start her on interferon and see if she improves. Esteban complains that Cuban doctors would have spotted MS. Marina cries in pain. When Foreman rotates her forearm as a test, her bones snap in a spiral fracture. House suspects bone cancer because metastatic tumors would explain the abnormal MRI, kidney damage, cotton mouth and double vision. House orders a PET scan to see what else the cancer is breaking. Convinced it's not cancer, Chase argues that House is stupid to think that Foreman will forget the last three years and stay there if House starts agreeing with him. House ignores him and again asks for the PET scan.

Chase finds House in his office and starts talking about Foreman again. House cuts him off and fires him. He explains that Chase has been there the longest. Either he has learned all he can or hasn't learned anything at all. This means that it is time for a change. A stunned Chase shuffles out of the office.

Foreman and Cameron perform the PET scan but don't find any signs of bone cancer. Chase comes in to break the news that he has been fired. Suddenly, Chase sees a hotspot by Marina's humerus on the scan.

Cameron and Foreman barge into House's office, demanding to know why he fired Chase. Then Cuddy enters, kicks out Foreman and Cameron and asks the same question. She orders him to rehire Chase. House calls Chase and asks about Marina's PET scan. Chase says that there is a blood clot in the arm. House doesn't hire him back.

Foreman informs Esteban that Marina will need an angiogram to confirm the presence of a clot. Esteban demands to see House, but he has left for the evening. Foreman gives Esteban House's phone number and instructs him to keep calling because House doesn't always pick up. Foreman smiles at his prank.

The next morning, Foreman and Cameron perform the angiogram in the middle of arguing about Chase's firing. An exhausted and angry House comes in, questioning whether Foreman gave Esteban his home number. After he leaves, Foreman marvels that House would stay up all night listening to the phone ring rather than talking to a patient for five minutes. Cameron notes that a trick like that makes Foreman worse than House. All their bickering stops when Marina goes into V-Tach. Although her EKG flat lines, Marina keeps talking to them. She loses consciousness and the doctors begin CPR.

The doctors are still working on her three hours later. They have yet to start bypass surgery because House fears the clot will break loose and head for the brain. Foreman explains the situation to House and Cuddy together. Cuddy immediately okays the bypass. As the doctors rush Marina into surgery, Esteban finds House relaxing in his office. House is disinterested, but Esteban emotionally pleads that he looked him up because he has a reputation for fixing people when other doctors have given up. Esteban questions why House is just sitting there and not tending to Marina. House thinks for a moment and then heads into the OR.

House has the surgeon turn over Marina's non-beating heart but there is nothing physically wrong with it. He asks the surgeon to shock the heart, but seven attempts don't revive it. The surgeon is merely keeping bypass going until Esteban can say goodbye. Marina's heart simply won't start. She's dead.

House retreats to his office in an attempt to figure out why the heart won't start while the bypass is still keeping Marina's brain alive. Cameron and Foreman argue that it's over, but they realize House doesn't want to tell Esteban because that will mean House failed.

Cameron goes to meet Chase at a nearby bar. She tells him that everything will work out in the end, but Chase has already come to grips with the firing. He figures it probably is time for a change.

Late that night, Cuddy finds House in his office and asks when he plans on telling Esteban that Marina is dead. Cuddy wonders whether House was hoping for a storybook ending, but House argues that he honestly doesn't care. He just wants to know what the problem is. House tracks down Esteban in the chapel and informs him that nothing seems to be working. He can say goodbye to Marina before House removes her from bypass.

Esteban apologizes to his wife, kisses her one last time and House begins shutting off the machines. Esteban leans down to hug his wife and feels her heart beating. House explains that it is just residual blood flow. Esteban grabs House's hand and places it on Marina's heart. House flicks on the EKG and sees that her heart is beating normally. Her eyes open and she regains consciousness. House is shocked. Esteban thinks it's a miracle.

Three hours later, Foreman reports to House and Cameron that Marina is still stable. Her blood pressure, EKG and kidney function are all normal. House thinks about the angiogram and wonders if human error wasn't to blame. Maybe it was divine error. A congenital heart defect in an artery would be susceptible to inflammation. This causes arrythymia, which causes angina and clots. They will need another angiogram to be sure.

The procedure begins and House injects the dye into Marina's heart. The right and left coronary flow both look normal, which makes House worry that this test is about to go bad. Cameron spots something odd on the monitor. Marina has a third ostium. Humans should only have two. This third one is causing inflammation, is becoming infected and sending out clots. This is everything that has been plaguing Marina. After one more surgery she should be fine.

That night, Chase opens his apartment door to find Cameron on his stoop. They kiss and head inside.

Wilson meets up with House in the doctor's lounge. Foreman enters and the room freezes. House says he wants Foreman to stay on because he is an important part of the team and he needs him. Foreman agrees, but says he doesn't need House. House tries to argue that he just solved a case by predicting a never-before-seen heart defect even though Foreman gave up on it. Foreman points out that House is only happy for now. Soon he will be jonesing for the next case to come along. Foreman doesn't want to solve cases. He only wants to save lives. House becomes angry, and yells that Foreman only cares about himself and his ego. This is the reason he dragged out his quitting over three weeks. Foreman looks at House and then simply walks out.

House retreats to his office. Cameron is waiting for him with her resignation letter. House asks if she expects him to break down and ask Chase back. Cameron smiles and says she expects House to make a joke, move on and be just fine. But she says she will miss him.

House Season3 EP23

The Jerk

Episode 323 : 2007-05-15

Sixteen-year old chess prodigy Nate Harrison easily mows down an older opponent while mocking his moves. Afterwards, the opponent offers Nate a handshake and congratulations. Nate winces and begins breathing rapidly. He picks up the chess clock and smashes it in his opponent's face. Nate jumps on the man, pounding him with punches until proctors are able to drag him away. Nate holds his head in agony, fighting for breath.

As Chase examines Nate in the hospital, the boy's mother Enid stands at his bedside. Nate is sarcastic and difficult to him. Chase ignore his jibes and presses on with the exam. Chase presents the case to the team. He says that the boy is dealing with rage and head pain, plus various bumps and bruises from the seventeen fights he's been in this semester alone. House adds "personality disorder" to the list of symptoms. Suspecting that the diagnosis is cluster headaches, House asks them to start Nate on blood thinners and he prescribes Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.

Foreman performs the procedure on Nate, who continues to be obnoxious. Outside, Chase explains to Enid that cluster headaches often cause irritability or hostility. If they are right about the prognosis, then treatments could change Nate. This delights Enid. She had thoughts that she was a bad mother because she hated Nate.

The next morning, the team explains to House that the blood thinners and TMS had no effect. They rule out cluster headaches and now suspect hemochromatosis or hypothyroidism. House quickly shoots down both conditions because they don't match Nate's personality issues. House sticks with cluster headaches, arguing that symptoms never lie. Cameron points out that the only approved treatment left is brain surgery, which is not a guarantee. House smiles, noting that they will be forced to use an unapproved treatment.

When the meeting ends, Foreman storms out. He tells House that he had an interview lined up for the day before at New York Mercy Hospital, but they said he cancelled. Yet he never called them. Foreman accuses House of going behind his back and questions whether he has a neurological issue. House claims innocence, coldly explaining that he only sabotages people he deems worth the trouble.

House congratulates Cuddy on her cunning move of canceling Foreman's interview. Cuddy firmly informs him that it wasn't her but that she is awaiting board approval to make Foreman an offer to stay. House asks permission to give Nate mushrooms to treat his cluster headaches because the psilocybins in them work on the headaches. Cuddy only permits a low dosage of less than ten milligrams given in a tightly controlled setting. House also must obtain parental approval.

Chase and Cameron administer the drugs and then observe Nate. He is not feeling any pain in his head but rather the opposite. Cameron says that this confirms a diagnosis of cluster headaches. Nate then invites Cameron to have sex with him and he lifts up his blanket. The doctors see that his testes are undersized but that his other sexual characteristics are normal. They turn their focus to the hypothalamus. House orders Chase and Cameron to biopsy the pituitary.

Enid is all for the procedure but Nate refuses to have his brain cut open. Suddenly, Nate becomes disoriented and blacks out. Chase notices that his gums are yellow and realizes that Nate is jaundiced. The liver is shutting down. Chase and Cameron start the patient on sodium polystyrene sulfonate.

The boy's liver is operating at around twenty percent and deteriorating fast. It's possible that the liver failure caused the other symptoms, but what caused the liver failure? Foreman gets a page. House assumes it's from Cuddy and excuses Foreman to handle his business. Chase mentions that Nate was raised a vegetarian but then started eating meat a few months ago. House observes that, with an OTC deficiency, Nate wouldn't be able to metabolize the nitrogen and this would damage the liver. He orders the doctors to stuff Nate full of meat and wait for his ammonia levels to spike.

Cuddy presents Foreman with a deal to double his salary and put him in charge of his own diagnostic group. He would work parallel to House but have complete autonomy. Foreman thinks about it and then quickly declines. Since somebody at the hospital sabotaged his interview, he can no longer work there.

Chase and Cameron bring Nate a giant platter of hamburger patties. He demands a higher quality meat and won't eat them. Chase snaps. He threatens to strap Nate down and force the meat into his system. Nate backs down and takes a bite.

Cuddy accuses Wilson of killing Foreman's interview in order to help House. Wilson says he hopes Foreman will leave so that House realizes he needs another doctor to stand up to him. Cuddy doesn't believe him, labeling Wilson an enabler. Wilson calls Cuddy paranoid.

The hamburger test shows no change in Nate's enzyme levels, meaning he is not affected by OTC deficiency. House's next idea is to starve the boy because diabetic steatosis will screw up the liver, which will allow them to see if the blood sugar pops. Chase warns that messing with Nate's blood sugar could set off another rage.

The changes do cause Nate to rage, and the doctors find him jaundiced in his room. Nate is swinging around his IV pole and threatening the nurse and his mother to feed him. The doctors tell Nate that once they get a urine sample he can eat. Nate defiantly pees on the floor. Yet his urine changes from bright yellow to blood red.

A chem panel confirms that the bloody urine is due to kidney failure. Nate is put on dialysis, which he will need for the rest of his life. Now the team is stuck for answers. Foreman throws out hepatic fibrosis or MCADD. Considering that it might be a genetic disorder, House asks them to acquire the sequencing primers and figure out if it's one of the genetic diseases they can actually fix. Foreman announces that he has to leave and House questions if he's going to a job interview. Foreman wants to know whether House will stop him if it is.

Wilson tries to get Cameron to believe Cuddy is going to fire him for sabotaging Foreman's interview but she sees right through his weak attempt. Wilson becomes annoyed, noting that she would have fallen for this three years ago. Cameron asks whether he thinks she was the culprit, but she denies it. Cameron finds Chase in the lab and asks if he did it because he wanted to sabotage Foreman. Chase is stunned that she would consider him to be that petty.

The genetic lab tests show that Nate has a partial HPRT enzyme deficiency, which means he could have Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome. Yet since it's partial, he might not have it. Cameron argues that patients with this syndrome self-mutilate, and Nate hasn't been chewing his lips or banging his head. Chase points out that self-mutilation only happens when the patient is stressed. House wants to stress Nate to the breaking point in order to receive their confirmation.

House walks into Nate's room with a chessboard and immediately starts mocking him for not wanting to play. This gets Nate riled up. As the game progresses, Nate is surprised that House is a good match for him. House begins taunting Nate, pointing out that nobody likes him. House tells Nate that he's dying and then takes the boy's knight with his queen, which puts Nate in check. Nate's breathing quickens, but then he moves his bishop and smiles. He asks House if he wants to lay down his king, explaining the next four moves that will put House in checkmate. Looking at the board, House realizes that Nate is right. Yet the greater surprise is that Nate is starting to convulse with a seizure.

The next day, House is studying a chessboard and announces to the team that he hates Nate. The team despairs, realizing that they have one more symptom and one less explanation. Chase asks if Nate took any medication and lied about it. This sparks an idea in House. He crosses personality disorder off of the whiteboard and declares that now they are dealing with a normal jerk who suffers from amyloidosis. House tells the team to flush Nate with immunosuppressants, perform a biopsy to confirm and find a bone marrow donor.

The biopsy, however, comes back clean with no signs of amyloidosis. Yet House isn't deterred, and tells Foreman to biopsy the sinuses for a different reading. Foreman resists, but House says that he can either argue about it and then do it or just do it. Foreman shrugs and walks away. House shouts after him that he wasn't finished. The third option was to not do what House asked. He could have stuck Nate on antibiotics but he didn't because he still trusts House's judgment more than his own.

Chase finds House in his office that night. He knows House was the one who sank Foreman's interview. Everybody has been chasing ghosts over this, so either nobody did it or somebody wants everybody chasing ghosts. He thinks this sounds like House's doing. House smiles, admitting that sometimes he forgets why he hired Chase. If House wants Foreman to stay, Chase advises him to just simply tell him. At least it will make Foreman see that House isn't evil. This idea gives House an epiphany about Nate's case. When they crossed off personality disorder, they forgot to add another symptom.

House strolls into Nate's room holding two chess pieces and asks if he wants white or black. Nate grabs for a piece and House notices that he keeps his thumb straight when grabbing objects. House bends the thumb backwards and Nate yelps in pain. He cannot bend his thumb because the bones have formed abnormally due to the junk that has pushed its way between them.

Nate has hemochromatosis, and his body is absorbing iron from his food but he can't process it. The iron is building up in the organs and joints, creating havoc. As for the personality disorder, House points out that Nate is simply a jerk and that this has nothing to do with the iron. House pulls out the IVs and pokes Nate's wrist with a scalpel. He calls in a nurse, instructing her to stop the bleeding when three pints have dripped into the garbage can. Nate will need dialysis and a blood drain about every three months for the rest of his life. Other that that, he will be fine.

House finds Foreman in the lab and asks whether he is still running the biopsy for amyloidosis. House has Foreman run it again to recheck his results, and warns him that he will probably have an all-nighter in front of him.

第23集（S3EP23:The Jerk）
1.House: Maybe it was Ashton Kutcher?
HOUSE：也許是Ashton Kutcher（打的電話）
8分19秒，Foreman的一個面試被人打電話取消了（很明顯就是大叔-_-b），大叔面對Foreman的指責，還不在乎的抬出了Ashton Kutcher。1978年出生的Ashton Kutcher是一名演員，而他依靠在福克斯(FOX)電視臺熱門喜劇影集《That '70s Show》中扮演傻瓜凱爾索（Michael Kelso）開始走紅，而他真正大紅大紫則是因為在音樂電視系列節目《Punk'd》中“整治名人”，在這檔節目中，所有名人不再是高高在上，而是被天才的各種玩笑戲謔的手法乖乖被整，讓觀眾得到極大的滿足。他的精彩表現，讓這款節目成為MTV電視臺的一檔熱門節目，而“punk'd”更成為了一個新的流行語。Kutcher自己也由此成為一顆耀眼的明星和製片人。

2.House: Party on, Garth.
11分08秒，大叔所說的"Party on, Garth"是指"Wayne's World"中由Dana Carvey飾演的Garth Algar，而節目中的主持人則是由Mike Myers飾演的Wayne Campbell。2人的口頭禪就是"Party on, Wayne."、"Party on, Garth."。"Wayne's World"在1992年和1993年還分別改編成了電影。

3.House: If this were an employee-owned airline in scandinavia...
HOUSE：如果這是斯堪迪納維亞半島的一家員工持股航空公司的話...
13分49秒。Scandinavian Airlines System（SAS），因為斯堪迪納維亞半島是北歐五國的所在地，所以又可稱為北歐航空公司，最早有丹麥，瑞典與挪威建立。上世紀80年代之前，SAS長期面臨虧損，直到瑞典人Jan Carlzon出任CEO後，將公司股份轉讓給員工，員工持股使得員工與公司產生了強烈的“同舟共濟”的使命感，後來公司驚天逆轉800萬美元的虧損，並在歐洲其他國家航空公司總共虧損20多億美元的情況下收入20億美元，淨利潤100萬，成為員工持股的一個成功案例。

4.Nathan: This isn't a medical procedure. This is just about Doogie making me eat garbage.
NATHAN：這不是治療，這就像是Doogie讓我吃垃圾
18分44秒，Nathan打開蓋子看到盤子裡的食物後所說。
在1989-1993年的電視劇《天才小醫生》（"Doogie Howser, M.D."）中，Neil Patrick Harris飾演了一位10歲就從普林斯頓大學畢業，16歲就取得專業醫師資格的天才醫生。Doggie也因此成為美國文化中天才的代名詞之一，在諸多美國影視作品中都可以發現這個名字。比如Veronica Mars、Friends、Gilmore Girls、Family Guy、The Simpsons、[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Live]Saturday Night Live等等。

5.House: Dr McCaney.
HOUSE：McCaneY醫生。
29分09秒，Nathan問大叔是誰，很多人可能都會奇怪大叔怎麼改名叫Mccaney了？這其實是對另一部著名醫務劇Grey's Anatomy中的人名的一種調侃。那部劇中有"McDreamy"，有"McSteamy"，所以大叔也來了一個"Mc+Cane（拐杖）+Y=Mccaney"了。

House Season3 EP22

Resignation

Episode 322 : 2007-05-08

A young woman named Addie becomes dizzy in her karate class. She begins coughing up blood. Later, at the hospital, the team reviews the case. Cameron postulates drugs, toxins or infection. She figures that if Addie coughed up blood, then it came from the lungs. However, Addie has no fever or elevated white count, which rules out infection. A blood panel was negative for toxins and her bronchoscopy showed pristine lungs. Cameron then assumes it must have come from the girl's stomach, indicating an ulcer or GI bleed. Yet the ER also did an upper and lower GI. There's no occult blood in the stool, meaning no ulcer or GI blood. Basically, the blood didn't come from anywhere.

House enters asks the team if they've figured out yet that the blood came from nowhere. Cuddy pulls House and Foreman out into the hallway to inquire about Foreman's resignation. He's sure that he still wants to quit. Cuddy has him sign a form to make it official. House wonders why Cuddy isn't begging him to stay. She thinks it wouldn't make a difference. Back in the office, Foreman breaks the news to Chase and Cameron.

Resuming Addie's case, Chase mentions the possibility that a hyperdynamic heart could have forced too much blood into the lungs. It wouldn't leave a trace because the blood came from the veins. House orders Foreman to run an echo stress test on Addie. He sends Cameron to check out the girl's dorm before re-running the ER labs.

While performing the echo stress, Chase asks Foreman why he's leaving but Foreman doesn't give up anything. Chase wonders if that means Foreman is embarrassed about the reason. Addie's heart rate spikes to 170 and Chase can only see goose bumps on her arm. House still thinks it's an infection. He instructs Foreman to start treatment and get a lung biopsy. When Foreman leaves, Chase asks House why Foreman has resigned. House answers that Foreman has decided to raise llamas. Chase realizes that House is also ashamed of the real answer.

House tells Wilson that Foreman is leaving because he doesn't want to turn into another House. Wilson yawns, which House finds intriguing, and then suggests he try to bargain with Foreman. Maybe he can offer him a raise.

As the doctors discuss Addie's case, House asks them what pandiculation is symptomatic of. He is pretending this is in reference to Addie when really it's to learn about Wilson. House then makes a lame joke that Foreman chuckles at. Chase stops short, accusing Foreman of doubting his decision. He's never laughed at one of House's jokes before, but did now because he's nervous. House begins to realize that he was wrong about the infection. He tells the team to attend to Addie before she crashes. They rush in with the crash cart to find her gasping for air. The doctors slide a laryngoscope down her throat.

Chase later explains to the group that Addie couldn't breathe because she had a pleural effusion, which indicates either cirrhosis or heart failure. However, her heart is fine and the liver enzymes are normal. House keys in on the fact that there was blood in the pleural effusion. This confirms his supposition about infection, but Chase argues that it was only minute traces of blood in an otherwise clear liquid. House orders them to double the dosage of antibiotics and check the lungs with an arteriogram.

The arteriogram test comes back normal. House is still convinced it's an infection. The team is skeptical that Addie would keep fighting off an infection that returns, but House wonders if maybe she's missing a protein that cannot be tested. Picking up on his lead, Chase blurts out the disorder of complement factor H deficiency. That would mean Addie is as good as dead. Her body cannot fight off bacteria, and she will succumb to one infection after another until her body shuts down. Since there's no diagnostic test for complement factor H deficiency, House wants them to isolate the cells that are most attractive to that affliction. They need to stick a needle in her eye.

Despite the case, House is still subject to clinic duty. He treats a man named Steve who complains of floating stool. Accompanying Steve is his girlfriend, a free-spirited nutritionist named Honey. She is disappointed because Steve has been cheating on her by eating meat. House sees this as an opening to ask Honey out. She accepts.

House crushes up some amphetamine pills and secretly drops them into a cup of coffee for Wilson. Wilson is naturally suspicious of House being nice. So he grabs the cup that House isn't offering, but that is the one filled with the amphetamine.

Addie's macular biopsy comes back negative, proving that it is not complement factor H deficiency. House still thinks it's an infection. They take a brain MRI, and Addie cries out during the procedure that her head hurts. When the doctors pull her out from the machine, they are shocked to see that the top of Addie's head has somehow burst open, leaving blood and tissue oozing onto the table.

The doctors anesthetize Addie and begin debriding the tissue. Foreman notes massive tissue death and Cameron notes that it doesn't have any pus, which should rule out infection. House again refuses to back off his diagnosis. Chase thinks it's more likely to be autoimmune, which means they need to start steroid treatment immediately. House invites him to proceed as long as Cameron stands by with the crash cart. If Chase is wrong, Addie's heart will give up almost as soon as they start with the steroids.

House stands by in the hallway as Chase starts the steroid drip, eagerly anticipating the massive heart attack. Yet nothing happens. Cameron smiles and turns the crash cart off. House is somewhat annoyed.

Wilson calls Foreman to his office. Foreman immediately notices that Wilson is going a hundred miles an hour. Wilson blurts out that House wants Foreman to stay. Before he leaves, Foreman says that he knows House is a good doctor.

Wilson tracks down House at home and angrily accuses him of drugging the coffee. When Wilson yawns, House is positive that the yawning is a symptom of something else. He posits that Wilson is taking anti-depressants. House says he would be on them as well if he wasn't in denial about his depression.

That night, Cameron wakes House up because he wasn't answering the phone. She informs him that Chase was wrong. Addie's kidneys have shut down. House actually smiles at the news.

At the hospital, Cameron announces that hemolytic uremic syndrome is what caused Addie's kidneys to shut down. House remarks that this is usually caused by an infection or a protein deficiency. House gloats that he was able to diagnose an invisible disease based on coughed up blood. The team is more interested is what they're going to do next. If House is right, the steroid treatment means that Addie's next infection will be ferocious. So they decide to wait for a stroke or heart attack to confirm an infection.

Eventually, Addie suffers a heart attack. The doctors are barely able to save her. Foreman gives the news to House then asks if he even knows the patient's name. House doesn't, but he argues that this is not what is important to him or the family. House thinks Foreman doesn't want to quit. Foreman asks if that statement actually means House doesn't want him to quit. House scoffs that Foreman is under the impression he can make House a gentler person. Foreman cuts him off, charging that House is about to tell a young girl she's dying but all he can think about is himself. Foreman hopes to God he's not like House.

House walks into Addie's room, apologizes and then tells her she's dying. The infections will continue to get worse. She has two days or less to live. House attempts to explain the disease, but she doesn't want to hear it. House is amazed that Addie doesn't want to know what's killing her. She questions whether knowing will make her live longer. House wonders what life is without curiosity. As he talks about diagnosing problems, Addie notices that he is smiling. He catches a reflection of himself and she's right. House is actually smiling as he talks about this in front of a dying girl. He abruptly exits.

House barges into Wilson's office and blames him for dosing House with anti-depressants. Wilson smiles, unable to hide the truth. They've obviously worked. A miserable girl just noticed how happy he was. House counters that she wasn't miserable and has been in that same mood all along. House freezes with an epiphany.

House barges into Addie's room and orders her parents out. He sits down and tells Addie that depression manifests itself in many different ways. She tried to kill herself by downing kitchen cleanser. Since she is intelligent, she knew that it would sting her mouth and throat. So she must have wrapped the cleanser in a gel cap, which burned a hole in her intestine yet left no other trace behind. Scar tissue fixed the hole but also formed a bridge between a vein and an artery. Instead of her veins sending bacteria into her fecal matter where they should be eliminated, the bacteria was being sent back into her system. Yet does Addie want them to fix her? Surgery will only take two hours but the psychotherapy will take longer. Addie cries, confessing that she's never been happy. She begs House not to tell her parents because they will blame themselves.

As surgeons work on Addie, Cuddy tells Foreman that House isn't actually that bad. She questions whether he really is afraid of turning into House. Foreman says it's not worth it and leaves.

That night, House meets Honey at a bar. He orders the same peppermint tea that she's drinking. Honey is under the impression that House is interested in hiring her as a nutritionist for his team, but House has another, more personal, relationship in mind. He points out that he hates tea. Then he lists all of his many shortcomings. Honey is not put off by any of it.

 

第22集（S3EP22:Resignation）
這集的Wilson嗑藥確實挺搞笑的 ^^!
1. House: I'll get going on Foreman's farewell party. Everybody good with a mermaid under the stars theme?
HOUSE：我去準備Foreman的歡送會，“星空下的美人魚”這個聚會主題大家沒意見吧？
4分08秒，House給小鴨子安排工作完畢後，說自己打算去準備Foreman的歡送會。看似體貼溫情，結果下一句又暴露出大叔嘴不饒人的特色。“星空下的美人魚”作為party主題風格的一種，一般應用於children party上，也就是說，大叔把小鴨子們都當作Children了。

2. Chase: Why is Foreman quitting?
House: He wants to breed llamas.
CHASE：為什麼Foreman要辭職？
HOUSE：他想去養駱駝。
6分30秒處。嚴格來說，大叔的這句話並沒什麼典故之類的東西，只是體現大叔的毒舌罷了。如果看了前面的隱喻（比如S1EP22），就知道大叔沒少拿Foreman的膚色開玩笑。駱駝是非洲的代表性動物，House這句話的意思就是“Foreman要跑回非洲去啦！”

3. House: It means either she's got a leprechaun in her colon, which is playing with the doggy door, letting bacteria in and out...
HOUSE：這意味著要麼她腸子裡有個小妖精，開關狗門玩，讓細菌進進出出...
19分59秒處。以及後面的29分20秒，36分07秒，大叔不止一次的用小妖精來形容病因。而他口中的這種“藏金子”的小妖精（"Leprechaun"）是愛爾蘭神話和民間傳說中的一種男性小精靈。他們個子很矮，喜歡綠色，喜歡惡作劇。通常以皮匠或者鞋匠的身份出現。這些小精靈據說非常有錢，有許多裝滿金子的罐子埋在地下。根據傳說，如果有人盯住了這種小精靈，那他就沒法逃跑，但是一但你的目光移開，他會立即消失。電影《鬼精靈》系列中的鬼精靈，就是這種妖精。

4. Wilson: Because it's either that or accept the fact that you've done something nice. Then I have to deal with the Horsemen, the Rain of Fire, and the End of Days
WILSON：因為要是你做了好事或是相信你做了好事，那麼我就不得不面對騎士，天火和世界末日了。
15分59秒，大叔給Wilson的咖啡下藥了。Wilson對大叔的“好意”表示懷疑。他所提到的“騎士”和“世界末日”來自《聖經》最後一章《啟示錄》（Revelation）。

QUOTE:

在世界終結之時，將有羔羊解開書卷的七個封印，喚來分別騎著白、紅、黑、綠四匹馬的騎士，將戰爭、饑荒、瘟疫和死亡帶給接受最終審判的人類，屆時天地萬象失調，日月為之變色，隨後便是世界的毀滅。

因此也叫天啟四騎士，分別代表戰爭、饑荒、瘟疫和死亡。
而天火則是來自《聖經》的第一章《創世紀》（Genesis），《創世紀》中諾亞方舟的故事我們耳熟能詳，而天火焚城的故事可能聽過的人就比較少了。《創世紀》中記載，索多瑪和俄摩拉（Sodom and Gomorrah）這2座城市的人因為墮落而被神降天火（從天而降的硫磺和火）毀滅，其中的主要罪惡之一就是同性戀，英文中的索多瑪人（Sodomite）這個詞的引申意義就是出自此典故。

House Season3 EP21

Family

Episode 321 : 2007-05-01

A 10-year old boy named Matty puts on a sterile hospital gown and latex gloves. His mother Claudia does the same. She prepares Matty to see his older brother, Nick, who just went through an extra course of chemo and radiation for leukemia. When he enters the isolation room, Matty is frozen by the sight of his bald brother. Wilson takes Matty off for his own procedure -- a bone marrow donation. As Wilson discusses the importance of the surgery, Matty sneezes. Wilson can't do a transplant until he knows what's wrong with Matty.

The team gathers to discuss the case. Matty has an enlarged spleen and fever. Even if this was just a basic cold, a bone marrow transplant right now would kill Nick. Since the family is black, it is almost impossible to find another donor. House suggests making Matty sicker in order to induce the infection the become more prevalent and easier to spot. Foreman disagrees, figuring they should check the family home for environmental causes.

Foreman and Chase inspect the home. Still shaken by the death of his last patient, Foreman asks Chase for advice on how to move forward after botching a diagnosis. Chase replies that time eventually allows you to stop thinking about it on a daily basis. Foreman argues that Chase was distracted by the death of his father when he accidentally killed a patient, whereas Foreman made a calculated decision. Chase sees a rusted water pump in the backyard and he takes a water sample. Perhaps Matty took a drink one day after playing baseball in the backyard?

Back at the hospital, the doctors question Matty about the fountain. He did drink from it once last summer, but the water was disgusting and he never tasted it again. Matty also suffers from an acute scrotum. House sees this as a positive sign because only a few infections cause swollen testicles. He orders urinalysis and cultures for E. Coli, klebsiella, TB and brucellosis. He also wants blood tests for enteroviruses and adenobviruses.

The tests all come back negative, so Chase begins to wonder if they're on the wrong track. In their quest to make Matty sicker, they might have inadvertently helped the infection spread to his heart. Chase and Cameron perform a transesophogeal echo on Matty and find a growth on the mitral valve. It will require at least a month's worth of antibiotics to clear that up. However, Nick only has about four days to live.

House suggests removing the valve, but Chase doesn't think the infection will clear the boy's system in time. Foreman believes that Matty will be fine with antibiotics and doesn't need open heart surgery. House shifts gears, and decides they can perform the valve surgery. Then they will harvest Matty's marrow, stew it in the targeted antibiotic and replace it. Concerned about this wild plan, Foreman announces that he's going to run it by Cuddy.

After hearing the various arguments, Cuddy orders Wilson to simply explain the choices to the parents. She asks House why he let Foreman go far with his caution. House explains that he thought it would be good for Foreman since he seems to now be frozen in his decision making. He has the yips, much like how a great athlete might suddenly lose his determination. Of course, House only plans on giving Foreman four days before he fires him because one doesn't recover from the yips.

Wilson breaks it down for the family. This procedure should work, but due to the valve replacement, Matty would have to be on blood thinners to prevent clots for the rest of his life. It would prevent him from playing baseball due to the risk of hemorrhage. Wilson advises them to protect the family as a whole and opt for surgery. They consent and the surgery is begun.

That night, Wilson wakes up House. They biopsied a piece of the valve before removal. It was fibrous tissue and not infectious. Now they have to figure out what is turning Matty's healthy heart tissue into gristle. Cameron thinks it could be autoimmune, so House sends them off to figure out which one.

All tests for autoimmunity are negative. What's worse is that Nick is starting to deteriorate. His capillaries are leaking blood. If that moves to the brain, he's dead. Cameron suggests going with the 4 out of 6 level marrow match Foreman found in the registry. House rejects that because he wants a 6 out of 6 level match.

Foreman, however, informs the family about the 4 out of 6 match which gives Nick a chance. The parents are greatly encouraged. House and Wilson later try to talk them out of it, but it's no use because they have made up their mind. Outside, House berates Wilson for not having the courage to manipulate the parents into what the doctors feel is the right decision. At least Foreman was doing what he thinks is right.

The transplant is started on Nick. Foreman hooks up antibiotic IVs to Matty. Later, Cameron checks up on Matty, who complains of an itch. She sees blood dripping from his ear and calls House with the news. Matty's not making new blood cells and his bone marrow is crashing. House thinks they need to stop Matty's meds. If he recovers, then the meds were the problem. If not, it's the infection. Matty is in worse shape than they thought.

House and Wilson return to the hospital and promptly learn that Nick is suffering from a grade four Graft vs. Host issue. The new marrow is killing him. House asks Foreman if he's feeling guilty, but Foreman is adamant that he did the right thing.

Matty isn't improving, meaning that the infection is to blame. House has an epiphany. If blood cells won't grow in Matty because he's too weak, they should put Matty's blood in Nick and see what happens. Maybe that will lead them to the infection in question. Since Nick is going to die anyway, they can use his body as a Petri dish to quickly tell them what the issue is. The doctors don't see any other way.

Wilson presents this situation to the family. At first, they refuse to accept that Nick is as good as dead, but House makes it clear that there's no coming back for him. The only question, as House sees it, is whether they leave the hospital with one dead son or two. With House's prompting, Wilson encourages the parents to consent. Yet they say no. They're not giving up on Nick.

House is stumped. Foreman is ready to start testing Matty to learn what infection he has. House scoffs that with 10,000 possible infections and 20 minutes per test, it'll take Foreman about eight years to pinpoint the cause. Foreman counters that it will actually be four months. Unless, of course, they get lucky and Foreman is right with the first test.

Nick writhes in agony. House writes out a new prescription and gives it to Nick's father, who runs off to get it filled. House intentionally wanted to be alone with Nick. He explains that he is dying, but Nick already knows that. House says that his life doesn't have to be meaningless. He could save Matty.

Meanwhile, Wilson and Foreman churn through tests. Wilson tells Foreman that House is going to fire him because he feels he's gotten timid. Foreman couldn't care less about that right now. He would rather focus on waterborne infections since Matty drank from the old pump. Wilson wonders why a cookie cutter house in the suburbs has an old fashioned hand pump in the yard. Foreman realizes that this is rather odd.

Nick talks with his parents, trying to persuade them to let him go in order to help Matty. He wants to do it for them so that they won't be alone. The parents break down and consent. Before they can wheel Nick away for the procedure, Foreman bursts in with the news that they figured out what's infecting Matty. He's got a fungal infection called histoplasmosis. It's found in chicken feces. The subdivision was built on top of old farmland, and the pitcher's mound that Matty built in the backyard must have sat under a chicken coop back then. Matty inhaled some dust and got infected. The bad news is that Matty doesn't have enough marrow left for a transplant, even with treatment for the infection.

Foreman inserts a new IV into Matty and then makes a bold move. He can access marrow from Matty's hip bone. Doctors don't do that normally because it's painful and dangerous to access. He can't sedate Matty due to the infection and the boy will only have a little marrow left after this. Yet Foreman proceeds anyway. He straps Matty to the gurney and plunges a long needle into his hip. The boy shrieks in pain and begs him to stop. Foreman presses on.

His risk proves to be a success. Nick gets his transplant. The parents are mad, but the end result quells that anger.

House has a conversation with Foreman to see how he's handling all of this drama. Foreman is angst-ridden that he could listen to Matty screaming in pain and never question whether he was doing the right thing. He hates the idea that, in order to be like House as a doctor, he needs to be like him as a person. Foreman gives House his two weeks notice that he is quitting.

 

第21集（S3EP21:Family）
這一集來了一條小狗Hector，卻要走一個Foreman，希望下一集黑人別走，不要讓第四季裡小鴨子人手不夠。另外那個小狗好可愛呀。另外關於片尾Hector的瘸腿，我大膽的假設一下，它的腿並不是被大叔關門夾傷的，而是為了騙取Vicodin而裝瘸的 :p
背景知識沒找到太多，勉強算上的3個基本都在House買拐杖那一幕裡，權當湊數吧。

1. Holmes' pipe
大概27分鐘的時候，House和Wilson在一間古怪的小店買拐杖。House一開始就拿了個煙斗叼著，回過頭來的時候還有一個特寫。這個算是模仿著名的虛擬偵探夏洛克·福爾摩斯（Sherlock Holmes）的形象。前面的隱喻（S1EP01和S2EP07已經多次提到過House和福爾摩斯的相同點了。

2.House: It's a little too Marilyn Manson in a retirement home.
HOUSE: 這在敬老院裡有些太瑪麗蓮·曼森了。
27分51秒House面對店員推薦的第一根骷髏頭手杖發表評論時，提到了一個著名的名字：Marilyn Manson。Marilyn Manson即是樂隊名也是該樂隊的主唱名字。該樂隊1990年組成時的原名為Marilyn Manson And The Spooky Kids（瑪麗蓮曼森與怪異小子），樂隊從最初到至今的裝扮行為以及風格就是怪異甚至邪惡。其主唱原名Brian Warner，由於童年的經歷，他的搖滾哲學是離經叛道反基督。而樂隊每一個成員的名字都是由一名美女加上一個變態殺人狂而組成。比如主唱的名字就是Marilyn Manson便是由Marilyn Monroe (瑪麗蓮.夢露）加Charles Manson(超級殺人王，之前在S1EP11的隱喻裡介紹過），而鍵盤手Madonna Wayne Gacy，則是由Madonna （麥當娜）與John Wayne Gacy（曾殺死3名男童）混合而成。更多關於這支哥德搖滾的代表樂隊的詳細資料和圖片等，可以參看曼森中文網。

3. Kid: Genuine bull penis stretched over a metal rod.
House: Penis canes are murder.
店員：真正的公牛牛鞭包裹在金屬杆外（而成的拐杖）。
豪斯：陽具拐杖是謀殺。
28分01秒提到的這個Genuine bull penis cane，姑且叫它“牛鞭手杖”吧 -_-b。這種手杖其實已經有上百年的歷史了。作為力量和精力的象徵，牛鞭手杖歷來是手杖收藏者的必須收藏品。這種手杖並不是說用公牛牛鞭或者牛鞭的某部分做手杖裝飾，而是整個手杖就是一條牛鞭。整個牛鞭被拉長套在一根金屬杆外，進行消毒防腐等一系列措施，並加上適當裝飾，就成了一根手杖了。這裡有一張圖。
而大叔回的那句“Penis canes are murder”出自素食主義者的一句口頭禪“Meat is murder”（肉食即謀殺）——所以要吃素。
另外大叔在看到心儀手杖時候發出的那句讚歎——"Bitchin'"，在俚語裡是"fucking unbelievably cool"（真TM不可思議的酷）的意思。

It’s follow the leader, baby
That’s how it’s gonna be
If you ever really wanna get lost
Then follow me

Follow the leader

We’re in a solar system
Together and alone
The bills, the smoke, the furniture
The happy home

Now you can follow your gut
Or you can follow the past
But if you knew an eclipse was coming
Why’d you even ask?

Ghost verse -
(there’s brighter days ahead
I’ve seen them on tv
Word is there’s something big
Hidden up their sleeve)

So maybe it gets quiet
And maybe it gets numb
At least then there’s still something
To share with someone

House Season3 EP20

House Training

Episode 320 : 2007-04-24

While a hustler is running a three-card monte game, his shill Lupe, gets confused and blows the game for him. Lupe collapses to the ground. Much later, Lupe explains to Foreman that she felt like she couldn't move inside her head. Foreman says she had an abulia, or the inability to make a decision or exercise will. This is part of a bigger issue called Transient Ischemic Attack. The blood was cut off to a section of Lupe's frontal lobe. She claims she has no drug use, so toxins might be another explanation.

The team argues about possible causes, but Foreman is adamant that Lupe is a drug-abusing scam artist. Chase thinks it is toxins. Yet her tox screen comes out clean. House is more interested in why Wilson was talking to his second ex-wife. Wilson says that she merely asked him to start looking after their dog. House then confesses that he asked Cuddy out to a play. He was only testing her. She said she was busy, but then why did she say yes to Wilson earlier?

Foreman's dad, Rodney, waits in the hospital for his son. He wants Foreman to come to his mother's upcoming 60th birthday party. She should see him while she still knows who he is.

Chase and Foreman go to Lupe's apartment for an environmental check. Chase finds a number of possible toxic causes in the apartment, but Foreman sees a crack pipe, which seemingly gives him the stronger argument. Chase says he will do the tests on the pipe so that Foreman can visit his family, something he doesn't really want to do.

Foreman tracks down his family at a nearby hotel and his mother is thrilled to see him. As she talks to him about the past, symptoms of her Alzheimer's come rushing to the fore.

Later, Foreman confronts Lupe about the pipe but she denies that it's hers. He advises her to warn whomever it belongs to that they have arsenic poisoning. Lupe starts hacking with a cough and then spits up blood on Foreman's jacket. She begins choking on the blood that's filling her throat.

Chase and Cameron run a CT scan on Lupe after a hair test only shows trace amounts of arsenic in her system. The scan reveals a mass just outside the lingual. A biopsy later shows white blood cells in the walls of the blood vessels, which isn't normal. Figuring this has to be some sort of autoimmune issue, Foreman is ready to start a treatment of steroids. House wants to know exactly what autoimmune disease it is. In the meantime, they are to begin the steroids.

Foreman checks up on Lupe, dismissing her explanations about a one-time drug use. She realizes he doesn't like her, then accuses him of being like someone who quit drinking or lost a lot of weight and looks down on those who can't. Just because he got out of the projects, he thinks anybody who hasn't is weak and stupid. Throughout this speech, Lupe struggles with a cough. Foreman studies her eyes, noticing yellow in the sclera.

Foreman reports back to the team that Lupe's liver is failing. It's not an autoimmune disease. He suspects lymphomatoid granulomatosis, which is incredibly rare even by their standards. He suggests that they start total body radiation immediately to fight the rapid spread of the cancer. House instructs Foreman to get her consent in order to begin the process. Foreman explains that Lupe doesn't like him so much. House jumps up to get the consent. If she doesn't like Foreman then he is dying to know why.

When House asks about Foreman, Lupe complains that he thinks he is better than he is. After explaining the myriad possible side effects, House hands Lupe the consent form. She freezes, and falls under another attack. House calls in the nurses, instructing them to have Lupe sign the consent form when she comes out of the attack.

Cameron and Foreman check up on Lupe after the radiology. Foreman detects a heart murmur, which is a bad sign. Cameron tightens the cuff on Lupe's arm to check her blood pressure and Lupe begins screaming in agony. After receiving news of this latest development, House realizes just how much trouble they're in.

Foreman asks Wilson for advice on how to break a terminal diagnosis to patient. Wilson tells him to be honest and to be there when the patient needs support. Foreman slides in Lupe's room and flatly informs her that she's dying. He estimates less than 24 hours to live. She came into a hospital with an infection and they didn't catch it. The radiation is the worst thing they could've possibly done because it destroyed her immune system, allowing the infection to spread to her heart. Now, there's nothing that can be done. Lupe angrily tells him to get out.

Foreman tracks down House in the ICU and declares that he is wasting their time and causing Lupe more pain. House counters that he needs to know what they missed. They have Lupe wheeled back into a private room. Foreman apologizes to her, but admits that he doesn't expect her forgiveness. When he learns that she has no close family or friends, he sits down to spend the night in her room.

When Lupe wakes up the next morning, Foreman confesses that she was right. He did have a problem with her at first. But she was also wrong. He explains that he had a rough past but received another chance. He still feels like someone will send him back from where he came if he's not always the smartest person in the room. He put distance between himself and Lupe only because he knows there isn't any.

With Foreman still at her bedside, Lupe falls into a coma and her vitals flat line. Foreman calmly switches off the monitoring equipment and notes the time. He calls in the time of death to House, who readies himself for an autopsy. Wilson later finds House in Lupe's room. House explains that Lupe scratched herself with her bra hook and developed a staph infection.

House finds Foreman in his office and tells him to absolve himself for Lupe's death. He should only try to improve himself. Foreman is torn up that they blew such a simple diagnosis, but House consoles him that he'll do it again. This is a good thing. They are a special band of doctors practicing a special kind of medicine. They will miss on a few patients, but they will also save the ones any other doctor would think are hopeless causes.

That night, Foreman goes to his parents' hotel and tells his mother that he hurt somebody. She throws her arms around him and forgives him. She can see that he'd never hurt anybody on purpose. Foreman asks his mom if he knows who he is. She hugs him again and says that her little boy's name is Eric. Foreman is devastated.

第20集（S3EP20:House Training）
1.Operator: She ain’t no Helen Mirren, but this Queen is for you.
OPERATOR：她不是海倫·米倫，但這個“女王”是為你準備的。
開片25秒，街頭藝人提到的著名英國女演員海倫·米倫（Helen Mirren），因其在2006年電影《女王》（The Queen）中的出色表演獲得了當年的奧斯卡最佳女主角獎。已往的傳記電影一般都是紀念一些已經逝去的名人，而女王的兩位主人公——伊莉莎白女王和首相布雷爾——卻都在舒舒服服地過著他們的好日子。影片講述的戴安娜王妃去世後，皇室面對大眾的質疑發生的故事。

2.House: Loss of free will, I like it. Maybe we can get Thomas Aquinas in for a consult
HOUSE：自由意志缺失，我喜歡。也許我們可以諮詢一下湯瑪斯·阿奎那
3分33秒，大叔提到的湯瑪斯·阿奎那（Thomas Aquinas）是中世紀基督教神學家,經院哲學家,天主教官方哲學的代表人物。有“天使博士”和“通傳博士”之稱。他根據基督教神學法律思想的傳統，將法律分作永恆法、自然法、神法、人定法4種，構成一個等級體系。永恆法代表上帝的理性和智慧，是上帝支配整個宇宙的法律，所以它是最高的法律。自然法是理性動物（即人）根據上帝所賦予的理性對永恆性的不完全的認識，是上帝用以支配人類的法律。其最基本的原則是“行善避惡”，包括力求自存、結成婚姻關係和養育後代、希望瞭解上帝的真理、參加社會生活等內容。神法是上帝通過《聖經》賦予人們的法律，用以補充較抽象的自然法。人定法即世俗統治者制定的法律。
在中世紀，世俗統治者與教會間經常為爭奪權力而展開鬥爭，在法律思想領域中，這種鬥爭往往反映為對人定法與自然法（或永恆法與神法）的關係所作的不同解釋。阿奎那認為，人定法應服從自然法、神法，特別是永恆法,否則就是不正義的。因此阿奎那的法律思想及是在羅馬教會權力進入鼎盛時期的產物。簡單來說就是當人的自由意志與上帝意志發生衝突時，應該放棄自由意志而遵守上帝的意志。所以大叔才會由自由意志的缺失聯繫到湯瑪斯·阿奎那。

3.Wilson: I'll consider that, after I take her to the Hockney exhibit
WILSON: 我會考慮的，在我帶她看完霍克尼的展覽後。
5分47秒，Wilson提到的這個霍克尼應該是指大衛·霍克尼（David Hockney）。1937年出生於英格蘭布列福的Hockney，在60年代初期的國際藝術舞臺上即嶄露頭角，從此成為最具影響力的代表人物之一。他在“搖擺的60年代”（Swinging Sixties）中對藝術的貢獻，讓他很快地獲得當代最重要藝術家的榮譽。自1964年起，Hockney就在美國洛杉磯定居。這位世界級的大師在他漫長的藝術生涯中，繪畫、攝影、設計等諸多藝術領域都有著傑出的成就。在加州與倫敦的工作及各地遊玩的過程中，Hockney把注意力放在人物以及周遭環境上。他以父母及朋友為主角所畫的肖像特別強調各個人物的特色。 80年代，他在攝影與劇場設計上下了相當大的功夫，創造性地將照片拼貼成一幅幅畫作，這種獨特技藝發展成為一種新的攝影藝術形式，被眾人稱之為“霍克尼式”。另外霍克尼同時也是位同性戀者（發現很多強人都是同性戀呀-_-b）。

4.House: Who is the better James Bond--Sean Connery or Daniel Craig?
HOUSE：誰的詹姆斯·邦德（007）演的更好？肖恩·康納利還是丹尼爾·克雷格？
20分22秒。肖恩·康納利（Sean Connery）在1962-1967年和1971年出演007系列中的詹姆斯·邦德（"James Bond"），而丹尼爾·克雷格（"Daniel Craig"）則是最新一代的007，出現在2006年最新一部007電影《皇家賭場》（"Casino Royale"）裡。很多人都認為丹尼爾出演的新一代007不如老版的。所以大叔在問完“鉛筆還是鋼筆”後，問的這個問題。意思是“判斷肖恩·康納利和丹尼爾·克雷格的007誰演的好”甚至比“區分出鋼筆和鉛筆”還容易。。。太“毒舌”了。

5.The dog "Hector" and "House training"
本集中不止一次提到了Wilson家的小狗Hector。24分42秒處也解釋了這條狗名字的來歷。Hector在英語裡指“虛張聲勢的人,恃強淩弱的人”，Hector首先就指這條狗脾氣壞，每天早上都在地毯上亂撒尿。其次把“Hecor does go rug”（Hector尿地毯）字母打亂重排，就變成了“Dr.Greg House”（House醫生）。而大叔在25分34秒則認為把“Dr.Greg House”打亂重組為“Huge ego sorry”（自大狂，對不起）更符合自己。-_-b
而本集的標題House training也因此有了雙重意義。首先，如果House就像小狗Hector的話，那麼他/它就需要進行House training（家庭訓練）。其次，大叔本身的名字就叫House，所以本集也可以理解為“大叔的教訓”。
