House Season2 EP13

Skin Deep

Episode 213 : 2006-02-26

Fifteen year-old model Alexandra Simms waits impatiently backstage at a fashion show. Her manager father, Martin, hands her a pill to steady her nerves. She washes it down with a glass of champagne. On the runway, Alex starts seeing double and stumbles. When another model asks her if she is fine, Alex punches the girl. Chaos ensues and Alex collapses in the mess.

House limps through the hospital, struggling more than usual with his leg. Wilson thinks the increased pain could actually be good sign that his nerves are regenerating. House brushes off his optimism. Cuddy approaches with a new patient file. A teen model has sudden aggressive behavior and cataplexy.

House drops into Alex's room. The cataplexy checks out with Alex's story, and House asks about sweats and other recent ailments. She claims to have been nauseous lately. Cameron waits in the hallway to grill House about his newfound interaction with patients. He orders her to do the tests and tox screen.

The tox screen reveals Valium and heroin in Alex's urine. Cameron notes that a positive test doesn't mean Alex is an addict. Chase wonders whether this is related to the fact that Alex has yet to menstruate. They also consider bulimia and the patient's newly developed breasts. During the brainstorming, House's leg buckles and he nearly falls. Even with addiction, Alex's symptoms could be neurological, which points to juvenile MS or Parkinson's. House orders a detox program at super speed. He wants them to put Alex in a coma and pump her full of naltrexone, which cuts the detoxification procedure from four weeks to one night.

Foreman explains the procedure to Martin, who agrees despite the risks. Chase and Foreman prepare to put an incredibly nervous Alex into an induced coma. Alex's heart rate dips below 30 before flat lining. Nurses rush in and go to work on the girl. Martin finds House and demands that he pull Alex out of the coma. House explains that this option is even worse. The must see the procedure through.

Alex regains consciousness from her coma. She tells Chase that she feels fine. Alex tearfully apologizes to her father for using drugs. Chase begins to hook up a potassium IV, and Alex repeats what she just said. Back in the office, Foreman reports anterograde amnesia and short term memory loss which is evidence of a hypoxic brain injury. Foreman blames House for pushing the rapid detox. House points out that Alex would have to flatline for longer than she did for hypoxia to kick in.

House suggests that Alex suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. She looks too good to be a heroin addict. With Daddy constantly by her side, House thinks Martin is either a very good father or a very bad one. He suspects sexual abuse, and orders an MRI and LP. If Alex's brain comes back normal, House will have his proof. Out in the hallway, Foreman accuses House of letting his increasing leg pain influence his judgment. He's trying to rush through this case. House turns and loudly asks Martin if he's molesting his own daughter.

Alex goes through the MRI. Yet she has an involuntary shoulder twitch which will mar the MRI. Cameron thinks they should skip right to the LP. Slipping into a men's room for privacy, House continues pressing Martin. He denies abusing his daughter. House asks if Martin loves Alex enough to admit what he did, since psychological conditions can manifest into physical problems. Martin confesses that it happened once.

House finds Cameron and Chase in the lab and happily reports that he was right. It is now time to move Alex onto a psych referral. Chase shows House the results of the LP, which show elevated proteins in Alex's CSF. It wasn't hypoxia and it wasn't even the sexual abuse.

Cameron presses House to report Martin to child services, but House wants to finish the case first. Foreman starts running down the list of problems that would cause elevated proteins in the CSF: viral encephalitis, CNSV, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. House thinks they need to skip straight to a brain biopsy. The team is hesitant because this is too rash, but House is convinced that it is the only thing they have time for. They must perform a burr hole biopsy to remove a small section of brain tissue.

Wilson tells House that he heard about Alex flat lining. He wonders if the leg is affecting his judgment. House quietly confesses that he needs Wilson's help. Meanwhile, Cameron goes to Cuddy about House not reporting Martin.

The biopsy gets underway while Wilson performs an MRI on House. Cuddy barges in, demanding to know about Martin. If House doesn't turn Martin in, he's fired. Wilson gives House the results that his MRI looks the same as it did two years ago. It might be psychological pain manifesting itself as physical pain, caused by House's misery over driving Stacy away. House refuses to accept this.

The biopsy on Alex shows that she does not have a white matter disease. That leaves grey matter, which uncorks a range of possibilities which can't be tested. House asks if what they are seeing could merely be smoke signals from a tumor. If Alex had cancer anywhere in her body, she could have paraneoplastic syndrome which would cause antibodies to attack her brain. Foreman counters that this is rare in a 15 year old, but House points out this is no ordinary teen. What's more, it explains everything.

House squeezes an IV line on Alex and she immediately starts twitching. When he releases it, she stops. House explains that IVIG vacuums her blood and neutralizes the stuff that makes her twitch. Although Martin and Alex are excited by the development, House explains that merely proves that she has cancer.

That night, House asks Cuddy for a favor. He wants a shot of morphine in his spine. She refuses and tells him to take a Vicodin because morphine is too extreme. Desperate, House pulls down his pants and exposes his scarred and mangled leg. His skin has been indented by the lack of muscle. Cuddy agrees to the shot.

Alex receives an MRI, a mammogram and a bone marrow biopsy among other tests. Wilson can't find any cancer but House insists that he is wrong because nothing else could explain the IVIG. Wilson is adamant that she does not have cancer. House retreats to his team and asks for a differential diagnosis. Chase wonders if the protein level was an anomaly. It might really be the post-traumatic stress disorder from Martin's molestation. Alex saw House fiddle with the IV line so it could all be in her subconscious. House tells Chase to change Alex's IV, but don't inform her that he is replacing it with saline. They will see if the twitching returns.

As the doctors wait, a social worker from Child Services interviews Alex. The social worker exits and informs the doctors that no charges will be pressed because Martin denies telling House. Alex says that nothing happened. Cameron goes into the room and tries to convince Alex to tell the truth. Alex doesn't go back on her statement. When Cameron presses, Alex admits that she seduced Martin and got him drunk because she wanted to have sex with him. She also slept with her photographer, her financial manager and her tutor. It's the only way to get what she wants. The twitching returns.

House asks Cameron, who performed Alex's vaginal examination, if she had pubic hair. Cameron says that there wasn't much. House wonders about Alex's real age and he schedules another MRI. Cameron complains that an earlier MRI showed no tumor but only undersized ovaries. The new screen finally shows what House has been looking for. It looks like a tumor, but it isn't.

Martin asks House if they found cancer. He says there is a tumor on Alex's left internal testicle. House explains that Alex has male pseudohermaphroditism. All humans start out as girls but then get differentiated by genes. With men, the ovaries develop into testes and drop. But in about 1 in 150,000 pregnancies, something else happens. Alex is completely immune to testosterone. She is full of pure estrogen, which explains the clear skin and perfect breasts. When they remove her testicles, she will be fine. Alex does not handle this news well.

House approaches Cuddy for another shot of morphine. She thinks it's curious that the pain returned after House solved Alex's case. He says he only wants a shot, not a psych session. Cuddy calmly tells him that when she administered the shot, it was only a placebo full of saline. House realizes his pain is indeed in his mind.

House Season2 EP12

Distractions

Episode 212 : 2006-02-12

A sixteen year old named Adam convinces his father Doug to let him drive their ATV. Adam's eye twitches and he physically cannot control the brakes. Doug is thrown from the bike. He watches in horror as Adam crashes the bike and his body is engulfed in flames.

House reads a friend's article in an Indian medical journal. Foreman reports that Adam's heart is suffering from tachycardia and his potassium is low, even though the burn unit is pumping him full of liquids. This could be caused by amphetamines or bacteria or even cardiomyopathy. Yet the skin burned off Adam's chest means they can't get an EKG. The team needs to figure out why his heart has shut down so that the burn unit can treat his skin. House thinks they can use a Belgian device from the turn of the century called a Galvanometer. First, they have to find one.

Cuddy is startled to find out that her office scheduled a lecture by a neurologist named Dr. Weber. Unfortunately, Cuddy's assistant quit because she "couldn't deal." Cuddy sees that she didn't sign the memo, and House admits to forging it. Yet House is more interested in the coma patient who's showing signs of a migraine headache. House had given the man migraine prevention medicine and then nitroglycerine, which induced the headache. Cuddy is appalled at House's lack of ethics.

Cameron explains to Doug and his wife Emily that they don't know if Adam's heart problems are connected to the burns. They tell her that Adam doesn't use drugs. Foreman and Chase hook Adam up to the Galvanometer. The boy's hands and feet are immersed in pots of water. The heart waves at first seem normal, and then suddenly, Adam convulses as if he was being electrocuted. They turn off the machine, but he continues to spasm.

The team runs through why Adam may have suffered a seizure. It could be caused by adrenoleukodystrophy, a virus of the brain, or multiple sclerosis. Yet his burns prevent them from performing an MRI, CT scan or lumbar puncture to find out. There's no other way to look at a brain. House suggests a sonogram, because he performed one on the coma patient earlier. He didn't use an MRA because he was doing "something illegal." They may not get a definitive diagnosis with a sonogram, but M.S. patients' more reactive neurons may turn up something.

Cuddy awkwardly introduces Dr. Weber to the lecture hall. He is from a center in India and he is there to talk about headaches. House sits in the back, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses. Wilson notes House's presence and realizes that House went to medical school with Weber. Weber won an internship that House didn't get. He also is the one who got House thrown out for cheating. "He's a bad scientist," House says. House has been stalking Weber for twenty years and plans to humiliate him.

Chase props Adam's eyes open and shows him flash cards. Foreman monitors on a sonogram whether Adam has any brain activity. Foreman interrupts House's lecture to tell him about the bleeding they found in Adam's brain. Yet House refuses to leave Weber's lecture. He tells Foreman to fix the bleed.

House challenges Weber's breakthrough theory on a drug that actually prevents a migraine. He says aloud that Weber published this in an obscure journal in India so that he could get a pharmaceutical company to fund his studies. Weber suddenly recognizes House. He thinks this is just an old school rivalry. House says that he tested Weber's medicine on a coma patient. It doesn't work.

Chase inserts a platinum wire coil into Adam's femoral artery as Foreman follows him with the sonogram. Afterwards, they place Adam in a hyperbaric chamber as they discuss what could be disrupting brain function. They think they can rule out M.S. Suddenly, Adam wakes up in the chamber. His breathing is rapid, but Foreman sees that what Adam is experiencing is an orgasm. They call for an anesthesiologist.

In his darkened office, House shoots himself up with Weber's migraine medicine. He then injects himself with nitroglycerin, which has a side effect of migraine headaches. Cameron rushes in to tell him about Adam's orgasm, but House begins to suffer from intense migraine pain.

Foreman treats House for the headache and tells him not to move around. House doesn't listen and goes into his outer office to hear the team's theories on Adam. He lies on the floor as they come up with an idea that sensory information is getting misinterpreted by the medial forebrain. Good feels bad and bad feels good. They list a slew of infections that could affect the forebrain, but Cameron wonders if it's merely a regular infection festering in the burned skin. Unfortunately, they don't have time to wait for the burns to heal to find out if this is the cause.

Even in his altered state, House comes up with an alternate idea. Several thousand maggots are placed on Adam's chest to eat the dead flesh and clean the wounds. This will also kill the bacteria that thrive in injured tissue.

House tells Wilson that he must prove that he still has a migraine even after taking Weber's medicine. Wilson accuses House of using pain as a distraction because he pushed away Stacy, the love of his life.

Later, the team finds House asleep in his office. Foreman is concerned because he should have recovered from his migraine by now. They report that the maggots have treated the burns but that Adam's brain waves are still all over the map. The infection wasn't causing the brain dysfunction. House says they should perform a cervical tap lumbar puncture even though it could paralyze the boy.

Foreman gets the parents to sign a consent form to perform the cervical tap. He then inserts a 25 gauge needle between the C2 and C3 areas on Adam's neck. The needle isn't penetrating, and Foreman begins to force it. Chase panics when Adam's blood pressure spikes. He warns Foreman to stop, but Foreman is successful and collects CSF.

Foreman reports to House that Adam doesn't have M.S. or an infection. House goes to the burn unit and forces the anesthesiologist to wake Adam up. He does, and Adam cries out from the immense amount of pain. House asks him if he experienced any tingling or numbness before the accident. Adam manages to say that he urinated in his pants before he blacked out. House quickly injects Adam's IV to make him pass out.

House calls for the team to assemble. He takes a shower in the doctor's lounge. He's wasted and starts to hallucinate. Cameron finds him and is furious that he took drugs while Adam is fighting for his life.

She tells Foreman and Chase about House. Suddenly, House enters, feeling fine. He has come to the conclusion that Adam is depressed. The urination and blacking out mean that Adam had seized even before they had tested his heart. A tox screen didn't catch anti-depressants because there are so many drugs in his system from the burn treatment. His brain might be suffering from Serotonin Storm, but if it's something else, then the treatment might kill him. House wants to wake Adam up again, but the anesthesiologist ratted him out to the parents.

House confronts the parents in the waiting area and asks if their son is depressed. He tells them that Adam suffered a seizure, which caused him to crash the bike. House wants to know if he is taking anti-depressants. The parents say no. Their son tells them everything.

The team has ruled out just about everything that could cause the seizure disorder. House goes back to the burn unit, ready to wake him up. Doug retrieves Foreman, who tries to stop House. House sees a perfect circular burn on Adam's wrist even though the boy's forearms are not burned. There is also a nicotine stain on his fingers.

House goes out and asks the parents if their son smokes. Doug quickly says that he would kill Adam if he did. House lets them know that Adam does smoke and was trying to quit. The cheap no-smoke meds are also anti-depressants. Adam can be treated and will recover.

Cuddy accuses House of dropping acid. He informs her that LSD acts on serotonin receptors in the brain to stop a migraine and anti-depressants short-circuit the LSD. Yet House doesn't cop to doing any of this. Weber storms in and thanks House for ruining his clinical trials by sending the pharmaceutical company an email about his facts. "We're even," House says.

Later than night, House is paid an expected visit by a young woman. She introduces herself. "I'm looking for a distraction," he says, letting her in.

212
本集比較好理解,沒什麼比較難的臺詞,說一下最後House對Cuddy講的幾句臺詞,
Everything in balance.Buddhists call it Karma,Christians call it the Golden Rule。
萬事都要平衡,佛教徒稱之為輪回,基督徒稱之為黃金準則。
輪回大家都知道,不過這個概念比較虛無縹緲;黃金準則就具體得多:你想別人對你怎樣,你就要對別人怎樣。

House Season2 EP11

Need To Know

Episode 211 : 2006-02-07

Back from Baltimore, House jaunts into the hospital. Cuddy and Wilson are immediately suspicious about his good mood. House happily admits to Wilson that he kissed Stacy on the trip. Wilson barges into Stacy's office demanding to know what happened in Baltimore. He angrily reminds her that the last time she left House, Wilson was left picking up the pieces. He has done so for five years.

Margo Dalton, a 30-something, do-everything mother, notices her arm twitching. This causes her to accidentally plow her car through her garage door. Her husband Ted rushes out to find Margo's body flailing wildly.

The team reviews what they already know. Margo has had a year-long fertility regimen, which explains the excess estrogen in her system. House orders a pregnancy test and an MRI. He wants to know if the problem is in her head or in her uterus.

Margo's MRI comes back clear. The problem isn't neurological or pregnancy-related. They will run a genetic test for Huntington's and put her on Tamoxifen to counteract the estrogen. Margo is upset that this will undo all of her fertility treatments.

Foreman reports to House that, with hypervigilance and sudden irritability, the patient is now defining Huntington's. Yet House thinks the progression is too fast to be Huntington's. Chase notes that Huntington's patients don't advance to psychosis so quickly. Suddenly, Foreman gets a page and they rush to Margo's room where she is having a psychotic episode. This is contrary to Chase's statement.

Margo tests positive for Huntington's and the team is stumped. House starts thinking about Margo's packed daily schedule and he wonders whether cocaine might be a possibility. He sends Cameron and Foreman to search Margo's house. House then heads off to discuss Stacy with Wilson. He wants to know what Wilson said to her.

Foreman and Cameron find a bottle of Ritalin in Margo's car. House connects the dots: Ritalin combined with estrogen explains the flailing and psychosis. She was clean when she entered the hospital, which caused all of the symptoms to die out. House wants to discharge her, but Foreman warns that they will need a confirmation before they can do that.

Ted and his daughter, Stella, sit besides Margo's bed. House starts talking to the little girl. Margo tries to deny using drugs, but House waves the tox screen results in front of the family. She admits to Ted that she was taking Stella's Ritalin. Then she sees that House was only waving a cafeteria menu around.

Later that night, House drops by Stacy's office. She announces that she's moving back home now that her husband Mark is improving. House says that he loves her and doesn't want her to leave.

Margo is walking out of the hospital with Ted when she stops. A blood cot moves into her brain and becomes lodged. Margo collapses to the ground.

Cameron calls House at home with news of Margo's stroke. House rolls over in bed and tells Stacy that he has to go back to the hospital. The doctors wait for House because they saw him leave earlier with Stacy. Cameron reports to House that the Ritalin didn't cause the stroke. House wonders if maybe the Ritalin and the fertility meds were competing. Cameron realizes that fertility treatments can cause endometrial cancer, which Chase mentions could cause a stroke. House orders an MRI of Margo's uterus.

While the team runs the test, Stacy and House meet on the hospital roof. She hasn't told Mark, but she doesn't know what she is going to do. House wants her to decide between him and Mark.

The test results come back negative for cancer. House insists that it is in there, and he demands that they find it. Before Chase can start a biopsy, Margo's BP drops and blood starts to pour from her vagina. Chase uses an ultrasound wand to find the internal bleeding as Margo passes out. Chase lets Ted know that the bleeding stemmed from the liver and flowed through the Fallopian tubes. Margo does have a tumor in her liver but more tests will determine if it's cancer.

Foreman tells House that they can't biopsy Margo's tumor because it is vascular. Before House can react, Mark interrupts. He wants to know why Stacy won't talk to him. House just walks off but Mark follows. House tries walking up the stairs to get away, but Mark drags himself out of his wheelchair and pulls himself up the stairs. House calmly walks away.

Back in the office, House is confused by the liver tumor because the symptoms don't add up. House asks the team what they know about Margo as a woman. Why does she want another child in her busy life? The Ritalin caused the psychosis, but only one other thing explains the clot and the tumor: birth control pills.

House wakes up Margo and asks if she wants a hysterectomy. He accuses her of sneaking birth control because she doesn't want a baby even though Ted does. She denies it. House tells Margo that her tumor is benign and will disappear if she goes off birth control. He wants to cancel the surgery and she can explain to her husband why. Margo again denies that she's on the Pill.

House tells Cuddy that he's calling off Margo's surgery but Cuddy won't have it because the surgery is underway. The tumor is benign. Foreman later informs Ted and Margo about the results and, without saying too much, says the symptoms will disappear. When Ted leaves the room, Margo asks Foreman to tell her husband that she can't undergo more fertility treatments. Foreman refuses to lie, so she asks for birth control that won't cause her to be sick. Foreman warns her that the continued lies will eventually kill her.

That night, Stacy slips into House's office. She is planning to tell Mark tonight about their tryst. She wants to stay with House. He advises her not to do it. House will never change his ways, but Mark is willing to do whatever it takes to make their relationship work. House won't and cannot make her happy. House walks out, leaving Stacy in tears.

House: Peeing on a stick is only 99% accurate. Get a real pregnancy test. You know, the one with the blood and the hormones and the rabbit. Oh, I’m sorry. It’s still your limo. What do you say, Miss Daisy?
House對Foreman說,驗孕棒的準確率只有99%,去做個真正意義上的驗孕檢查,血啊,激素啊,兔子啊。噢,對不起,這輛車還是你的,是不是啊,Daisy小姐?
House說的驗兔子,是指一個很古老的驗孕辦法,女人向一隻兔子撒尿,如果兔子死了,那就是懷孕了,兔子沒死,那就是沒懷孕,當然這種辦法純屬胡說八道了,卻在1920年代西方風行一時,可見哪個地方的老百姓都是善良且容易受騙的。


House叫Daisy,來自1989年的美國電影Driving Miss Daisy《為戴茜小姐開車》,片子很好,獲過奧斯卡獎,推薦一看,摩根.弗裡曼在裡面飾演一位黑人老司機,為猶太富孀戴茜小姐開車。House在這裡反著用,把黑人Foreman叫Daisy,除了賤之外,也找不到別的詞好形容了。


House: It explains the psychosis and the flailing, and the uncanny ability to bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never, ever let Teddy forget that he’s a man.
House說,(可卡因)可以解釋精神紊亂 還有抽搐,還有她那不可思議的能力,每天帶熏肉回家 在平底鍋裡煎一下,卻從來沒有讓Teddy,忘記他是個男人 一家之主。
這集的病人是個超級媽媽,我們看到House說這句話時故意把代詞用反了,用him指代女性,而且用ever代替never。這種用法來自1970年代年美國著名的系列廣告,Enjoli,音昭麗,香水的牌子。這套廣告的主人公就是一位超級女人,撒上點香水,然後什麼都能幹。當然這套廣告帶有很強的時代特色,1970年代美國正在鬧女權運動。

女強人主婦在剛開始的一段和朋友的調侃.
Mom [to a friend]: The secret is the Haas avocados. I can e-mail you the recipe if you want. [cell phone rings, she answers it] Oh, this is the third time they've changed plans since Friday. These idiots think you can just add a 14th floor and the mayor won't notice.
這裡說的14th floor and mayor won't notice說的是2001年的關於克林頓搬辦公室的一則新聞.
簡單說來就是14樓已經租給了市政府,而業主卻在和克林頓談租約.
結果市長知道後就跳出來說話了.

House Season2 EP10

Failure To Communicate

Episode 210 : 2006-01-10

A famous writer named Fletcher Stone toasts an outgoing magazine editor named Greta. He collapses during his speech, but when he comes to he can only speak gibberish, using completely incorrect words in sentences.

At the hospital, Cuddy asks Foreman to recommend a diagnostic department since House is currently out of town. Fletcher had a blow to the head followed by aphasia. Foreman sarcastically recommends another neurologist - one that House wanted to hire until he saw Foreman's credentials. Cuddy relents and gives Foreman the file.

Foreman and team begin the examination. Fletcher thinks he's speaking normally, but when he searches for a word he picks the wrong one. He has also lost the ability to write, which is called agraphia. Greta arrives at the hospital and tells the doctors that Fletcher didn't trip. He simply keeled over.

House and Stacy go to Baltimore to prepare for a Medicaid billing hearing. Stacy advises him not to defend his ridiculous billing practices. The administrator, noting that House rated all of his cases as fives on the difficulty scale, decides that Medicaid will have to examine every single case.

Chase and Cameron chafe under Foreman's leadership. They believe that the blunt trauma caused everything, but Foreman wonders if a stroke occurred beforehand. The doctors draw blood and hook up an EEG in search of a clot that could have possibly moved to the brain. Fletcher begins to struggle for breath and his O2 stats drop. The doctors rush to intubate.

Looking at an x-ray, Foreman notices fluid in Fletcher's lungs. A seizure could not have caused both aphasia and fluid in the lungs. The stroke could not have caused those symptoms either, unless Fletcher suffered from an abnormal heart rhythm. Chase hands Foreman a fax indicating that Fletcher's urine tested positive for amphetamines, which do not cause pulmonary edema unless they are smoked. Fletcher claimed in one of his books that he gave up drugs and changed his life. Could he be lying?

House turns to Wilson for the scoop because Cuddy called him about the case. Wilson tells him about the tox screen and that Fletcher's high temperature. House thinks that this rules out drugs. Foreman throws out encephalitis and meningitis as the obvious suspect. He recommends a course of antibiotics. Cameron wonders if it's an autoimmune disease. House calls the team and asks why they haven't called him for advice.

House orders antibiotics for meningitis and encephalitis, saying that the team will be screwed if it turns out to be autoimmune deficiency. He demands an MRI and a family history for genetic issues. After House hangs up, Cameron reminds Foreman who's really in charge. The team begins to interview Fletcher, his wife and his former editor for a recent history. Chase sends Fletcher through the MRI. The scan shows a little brain swelling and scarring, but not in the area that's currently affected by aphasia.

Back in Baltimore, a blizzard has delayed House's flight. Although she intentionally booked a later flight home to avoid him, Stacy runs into House in the airport.

Chase says that if Fletcher has meningitis, they need to do a lumbar puncture to identify it. Foreman says that if they are doing an LP on a patient with edema it could paralyze him. Cameron wants to know what House thinks, but Foreman reports that House's cell phone is out of service. They need more information in order to act, so Foreman suggests breaking into Fletcher's place.

At the airport, House continues asking Stacy about her crucifix. He has noticed that she wasn't wearing it earlier and he knows that she's never gone a day without it. She refuses to answer.

Later that night, Foreman and Chase pore through Fletcher's office, finding caffeine pills and amphetamines. This matches up with Fletcher's admission. They also uncover Topamax, an anticonvulsant that wasn't even prescribed to him. Chase wonders if they should check the home as well, but Foreman knows that Fletcher's wife is there. Chase wonders if she's hiding something. They check the house and find nothing.

In Baltimore, House continues to hector Stacy about the crucifix. She tells him to drop it. When she realizes that such an anomaly is driving House crazy, she decides to torment him by keeping quiet. Stacy finally blurts out that she and Mark had a fight, causing her to rush out of the house prematurely. She is becoming aware that Mark is slowly pushing her out of his life by constantly fighting about nothing. Feeling guilty, House now tries to console her.

Cameron is summoned to Fletcher's room. He's in pain and holding up a fork. She guesses that he has a metallic taste in his mouth. Wilson calls Stacy's cell looking for House. He lets him know that Fletcher has a metallic taste and kidney failure. House phones his now-stumped team. Foreman again suggests the lumbar puncture, but House warns them that they have to do it perfectly. He also chides the team for being too gentle with Fletcher. They need to care him with the likelihood of death because it's the only way they'll get the truth.

Foreman and Chase meet with Fletcher and his wife to instill fear into him. He denies holding anything back. Cameron performs the LP. Fletcher quickly rolls over and tries to confess something to her, but he only manages to say, "I couldn't tackle the bear! They took my stain!"

At the airport, an announcement is made that no flights will be arriving or departing until the next morning. Stacy, who booked a room at the airport hotel, invites House because his leg can't handle sleeping on a cot. Up in the room, House tries to find out exactly where their relationship stands. She explains that they're like spicy curry: House is abrasive and strong like the chili peppers, but no matter how much you love hot curry, it will eventually burn your mouth. You avoid it for awhile until you start craving it again. House and Stacy kiss.

The phone rings, and the doctors report that the LP showed an infection. Cameron pipes up that Fletcher tried to confess something to her, and House tries to figure out the meanings of "bear" and "stain." The word Fletcher actually wants to use could be related to those words by meaning or by sounds. They could also simply mean nothing.

The doctors begin throwing words at Fletcher to translate stain and bear. Pain? Brain? Bare naked? Fletcher repeatedly shakes his head. In Baltimore, House sits alone in an abandoned airport corridor. He's written Fletcher's phrases on the wall and stares at them, searching for a meaning. Stacy comes down to join him.

House calls the doctors to see what they've learned. Cameron points out that Fletcher mentioned stain once before, during the MRI. She thinks maybe he can only tell them things when his wife isn't in the room. The doctors wake Cuddy up so they can bring her in to distract Fletcher's wife.

Later that morning, Stacy finds House to let him know that his plane has been boarding for 20 minutes. He ignores her and calls the hospital, where he's patched through to Fletcher's room. He reiterates that they took his stain, and Foreman runs down the list of words they've assembled. Fletcher says yes to brain. House has a realization - bear means polar bear. Fletcher nods that he is bipolar. That would explain the Topamax, the risky job and the drug use.

House posits that Fletcher had to hide his bipolar disorder to maintain his job. When he fell in love, he wanted that life and was forced to make a change. House mentions bilateral cingulotomy, a surgical procedure that some people claim helps mood disorders. As House talks, Fletcher pounds the bed. House says that it wasn't the surgery, but a bug Fletcher picked up on his trip to South America for the surgery.

Fletcher's wife slips into the room. She wants to know if this is all true. House forges on and tells his team to get some blood on a slide under a microscope. Foreman spots cerebral malaria. Although a person with a microscope could have picked this up immediately, computers can't. Foreman chides himself for the misstep. Cameron tries to reassure him, saying they live in an electronic age.

At the airport, Stacy and House prepare to board their plane. Discussing Fletcher's case, they bring up that sometimes people want to change so badly for love but simply can't. People also need that love. So what to do?

這一集House和Stacy去巴爾的摩處理保險單的事,家裡由三劍客鎮守,本集裡好像沒找到什麼典故隱喻,說點別的吧
House和Stacy在機場時,看的那本書,不知道大家注意過沒有,書名叫《Lesbian Prison Story》,當時翻譯時我把它翻成《高牆孽戀》,汗…後來校對的時候去掉了。


House對保險公司的人說:A man can’t nail his office assistant, it’s national crisis time.
某個男人不能搞他的女秘書了,國家危機啊
雖然這句話的意思是House諷刺保險公司的老傢伙年紀大不行了,不過卻用國家危機這個詞來比喻……我有點懷疑這話說指的是克林頓


Chase坐在椅子上學House說話:Everybody Lies…
如果要選美國電視劇十大經典鏡頭之類的,我絕對投他一票


House說Foreman訂核磁共振晚了:我教你們多少次了,訂核磁共振要坑 蒙 騙,我一走你們就乖乖排隊了?暈…
Cameron: The more devoted, the more reason to lie.
House: That’s cynical.
Cameron: You disagree?
House: No, I’m just kvelling. Our little girl is growing up
C:愛得越深 說謊的原因越多
H:太憤了
C:你不同意?
H:同意 我只是感覺很良好 我們的小女孩長大了
Cameron說的那句話明顯是標準的House風格,House回應說她憤世嫉俗,我想這也是House(或編劇)對自己的評價吧
網上說本集的病人和美國作家Gregory McDonald筆下的人物Irwin ‘Fletch’ Fletcher很像,這個人也是個愛好冒險的記者,而且連名字都一樣:Fletch

stacy和house去baltimore那集,最後在機場stacy登機前的對話.
Stacy:You know what Woody Allen said about relationships? "Irrational and crazy, but we go through it all because--
House: --we need the curry".
出自woody allen 1977年的<Annie Hall>,原句如下:
Alvy Singer: After that it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I... I realized what a terrific person she was, and... and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I... I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs.
把egg換成了curry....

House Season2 EP9

Deception

Episode 209 : 2005-12-13

House is playing the horses at an off-track betting parlor when he strikes up a flirtatious chat with a woman named Anica. She collapses and begins convulsing. House doesn't help, but instructs someone else to call an ambulance. Yet when he notices red streaks on Anica's stomach, House has the paramedics take her to Princeton-Plainsboro and ask for a Dr. House.

The team reviews the case: a woman with grand mal and inexplicable bruising. Her platelets are 89, she's anemic and she had a blood alcohol level of .13 in the middle of the afternoon. Foreman thinks she's an alcoholic and Chase considers that she might be a hooker with an STD. House notes that her bruises are not petichieal so she's not an alcoholic or DIC. And no sign of fever or infection rules out STDs. Cameron suggests Cushing's, and House wants them to start from there. Foreman, flexing his authority, orders House to draw a patient history.

House complains to Cuddy about the new set up, but she only reinforces Foreman's power. Yet she mentions that, if there's a screw up, then it is Foreman's problem. He won't be able to fall back on House. House has Anica fill out her own patient history form while he studies her racing report. They continue flirting, and Anica tells him that her sex life is barren right now. She just moved here with no job and she doesn't know anybody. While looking at her bruises again, House notes that she must have been moving away from somewhere else. He floats the possibility of Cushing's, which Anica says she suffered from a year ago. She had brain surgery to remove an adenoma from her pituitary. House is intrigued.

House and Foreman observe her go through an MRI. Foreman doesn't see any re-growth, and House thinks this is because it is too small to see as a microadenoma. Foreman asks about Anica's lumbar puncture results, but House didn't do one because he knew what the illness was. Foreman orders him to do the procedure, which House performs as Cameron watches. House cannot get the needle inserted and Anica's blood pressure and pulse begin to rise. House asks a nurse for an IV lopressor drip.

Foreman adds hypertensive crisis to the white board. House is as convinced as ever that the cause is Cushing's. House admits to intentionally mangling the LP because Cushing's plus stress equals hypertensive crisis. Foreman thinks she's merely detoxing from alcoholism. Chase wonders if the tumor could be somewhere else, so House requests a pan-man scan before Anica dies from a cortisol overdose. Foreman agrees. Yet he says that when House doesn't find anything, then he has to put Anica on a lithium taper and enter her in the rehab clinic.

Chase and Cameron oversee Anica's CT scan. Cameron complains that Foreman was put in charge and she wasn't even asked. Chase helpfully points out that maybe Cameron isn't the person to hire when you need to say no to House.

House gamely tries to make Foreman's life miserable. After ordering MRIs for the entire maternity ward, he piles up a year's worth of discharge summaries that he has neglected and require Foreman's signature. Foreman tells House that he can't be broken.

Chase and Cameron discover a mass on Anica's pancreas. It's most likely malignant and inoperable, giving Anica two months to live. Cameron breaks the news to Anica and tells her they need to biopsy the mass to know exactly what's happening. Anica calmly signs off on the procedure.

Foreman informs House that the biopsy was negative for pancreatic cancer. The team reconvenes, and Foreman again insists on alcoholism. Cameron wonders why Anica barely read the procedure consent form. Perhaps she knows that there's nothing wrong with her. She might be faking everything and injecting herself with ACTH. Her behavior suggests Munchausen's. Foreman sends House and Cameron to break into Anica's apartment to look for syringes and such.

Cameron finds two notes at Anica's apartment. One is for an ophthalmologist appointment and the other is for a gynecologist appointment. Cameron claims that multiple appointments with multiple doctors is a sure sign of Munchausen's. House explains that a tumor pressing on the optic nerve would explain the continually changing eye prescriptions. They accuse each other of looking for evidence to support their own hypotheses. Cameron reminds House that it's no longer his call.

Back at the hospital, both doctors press Foreman to side with their diagnoses. With Anica's consent, Foreman authorizes a venous sampling to check for Cushing's. This causes House to chastise Foreman for being a coward and taking the easy way out. Cameron barges into Anica's room with the consent forms, accusing her of being mentally ill and seeking attention from doctors. Now she has to grant them permission for a completely unnecessary procedure. Anica angrily signs the form.

Foreman complains to Cuddy that House is driving him crazy. He wants to know why he was saddled with this job. Cuddy raves about Foreman's organization. Clinic time is being logged, forms are being completed and filed and she is being correctly copied on procedures. House still gets to play the mad scientist while the department is running smoothly. She wants to know whether Foreman might be interested in making this job more than just pretend.

Before Anica can be sampled, Foreman receives a call. They need to delay the procedure. Cameron inquires whether Anica's urine has turned orange. The drug rifampin causes this, and Cameron just happened to leave a bottle of pills labeled "danger" in Anica's room. The bottle actually contained antibiotics. A Munchausen's patient would have taken them because she couldn't resist dangerous pills. Cameron set all this up to prove her theory. House is shocked by Cameron's turn.

House peers through Anica's medical file. Anica tearfully begs Cameron to believe that she didn't do this to herself. Cameron explains that, once the rifampin wears off, Anica will be discharged with a psych referral. Chase notes that Anica stuck to her story 100%. House tells Foreman that Anica's records show that she's been hospitalized for different reasons each time but there is always one constant - she has low HCT. Her anemia is real. House suggests Munchausen's and aplastic anemia. The team isn't convinced. House pleads to prove it with a blood test. Foreman relents, but only allows House to use existing extra blood. He can't approach Anica.

House shoves the results in Foreman's face. Anica's Epstein-Barr titers are through the roof. It is the most common cause of aplastic anemia. Foreman notices that this sample also has evidence of Sickle Cell. Either something has changed or this isn't Anica's blood. House admits that he has lied, and again asks for a biopsy. Foreman refuses. House approaches Chase, and after prodding and threatening, Chase agrees.

Yet before he can do anything, Foreman and Cuddy intercept Chase. House sees that his plan is going nowhere and Anica has been discharged. He races outside to catch her and give her the news that she has aplastic anemia. House tells her that, because she's also sick in the head, he needs to inject her with a drug that will make her seem sick in order to confirm his diagnosis. Yet there's a catch: if she has actually done anything to herself to cause anemia, then this plan will kill her. House injects her and then walks back inside. Anica collapses and begins convulsing.

The next day, Cameron hands Foreman Anica's chart which shows that her white count is down. He can't believe House's anemia prediction was right. Foreman meets with Anica and gives her the options. She can either receive a bone marrow transplant or live with a regimen of transfusions and injections.

Anica undergoes the bone marrow transplant. Cameron, Wilson, Foreman and Chase all witness the procedure. House sits in Anica's room with her racing forms and he notices a weird smell. After sniffing Anica's pillow and bra, he rushes into the observation room and orders them to stop the test. Anica doesn't have aplastic anemia. She has an infection. There was no fever because the Cushing's suppressed her immune system. Cameron says that if that were true, then the white count would be through the roof and not low. House doesn't explain the white count.

Cameron demands one explanation and House offers colchicine. Foreman realizes exactly what House did. House leads the team into the nuclear room and nicks Anica's finger. Smelly brown pus oozes out. The bruises that Cushing's gave her made a home for bacteria. House asks Foreman if maybe they should get her started on Augmentin.

That night, House admits to Wilson that he's kind of enjoying having Foreman in charge. Foreman tells Cuddy that he'd like to run the department. She lets him know that House kept Anica at the hospital after Foreman discharged her. If not for House, she'd be dead.

House: I love the smell of pus in the morning – it smells like victory.
House說:我喜歡早晨膿液的味道,聞起來的感覺……勝利
這句話來自大名鼎鼎的《現代啟示錄》,原話為:"I love the smell of napalm in the morning You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn’t find one of ‘em, not one stinkin’ dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory."
我喜歡早晨汽油彈的味道。有次我們轟炸一個山頭,轟了12個小時。結束之後,我走了上去。我們一個也沒找到他們,一具屍體他媽的都沒有。當時整個山頭的味道,你知道汽油是什麼味道,聞起來的感覺……勝利。


Anica: I think you gave me the form intended for FDR.
House拿著病歷表問:Were you vaccinated for polio?
你接種過脊髓灰質炎的疫苗嗎?
病人Anica回答:I think you gave me the form intended for FDR.
我還以為你給我的表格是為FDR準備的呢
這裡這個FDR指美國總統佛蘭克林.德拉諾.羅斯福,也就是著名的二戰總統了,他癱瘓就是因為脊髓灰質炎。這句臺詞可能大家感覺比較牽強,有點胡扯的意思,其實也是有所指的,本集House中,扮演病人的辛西婭.尼克森Cynthia Nixon,曾經在HBO台的一部叫《溫泉療養院》的片子中扮演羅斯福總統的妻子,並且還因為此角色得到一個金球獎提名,這句臺詞也算是對演員的一種宣傳…我有點懷疑這句臺詞是Cynthia Nixon本人要求加上的……不過2003年的一項研究表明,羅斯福的疾病其實是格林-巴厘綜合症,也叫多發性神經炎,我不是學醫的,不知道這些病都代表什麼,不過羅斯福癱瘓了倒是大家都知道。
Foreman給了House一個經典的描述:無政府主義者

House Season2 EP8

The Mistake

Episode 208 : 2005-07-29

Stacy informs House and Chase that their scheduled peer review disciplinary hearing has been moved up to the next day. Since this is Chase's first experience with the process, Stacy wants to walk him through it.

A mother named Kayla watches her daughters perform at an elementary school talent show when she feels a sharp pain. She doubles over and screams out in agony. Kayla is admitted with multiple joint and stomach pains. In a neurological exam, Foreman notices some inflammation of the iris. The team begins running through possibilities. Suspecting an STD, Chase gives her a pelvic exam. He finds some ulcerization and prescribes some meds.

The next day, Kayla returns to the hospital with pustules on her arm. This confirms Chase's feelings that it's Behcet's, and he sends her off to get an appointment with rheumatology. He also prescribes a stronger antacid after she mentions increased stomach pain. Chase later admits that not asking further about the stomach pain was a mistake -- a mistake that's at the heart of this matter.

An hour later, Chase has a nurse call Kayla back in, thinking she had something else important to say. Yet she is wheeled in by the EMTs after vomiting massive amounts of blood. This is a sure sign of a bleeding ulcer. Chase cauterizes the ulcer, but Kayla's blood pressure still drops. She also has a perforated ulcer, and Chase orders her into an OR.

The perforation caused sepsis, damaging Kayla's liver and kidneys. Despite making every effort to avoid doing so, Stacy is forced to talk to House about why Chase screwed up. House doesn't think he did, but House was actually highly critical of Chase at the moment. He yelled at him for not asking the patient simple questions.

Stacy asks Chase why he didn't ask those two simple questions. He's just as resistant and defensive as he was earlier. Stacy wants to know what happened after the surgery. Chase says that Kayla developed clots because the sepsis had lowered her blood pressure so much. Her liver was shot and she needed a transplant. Chase and House badger Cuddy into putting Kayla on the liver transplant list. House even admits that this all happened because of Chase's mistake.

Kayla's brother Sam doesn't want to wait for a donor and offers his own kidney. House somehow convinces the hospital's transplant surgeon to perform the live transplant, which is a risky maneuver. He had actually threatened to tell the surgeon's wife that the surgeon was sleeping with one of the nurses. Stacy advises House not to proffer this blackmail information to the committee.

Two months after the transplant, Kayla is back for a follow up exam with Chase. Noting a fever, Chase sends Kayla for cultures and a chest x-ray. Then the fever spikes. Foreman theorizes that Kayla is rejecting the new liver. Chase insists it is an infection. Sam comes into the office demanding more treatment for his sister. House notes his homemade tattoo, and Sam admits that he has hepatitis C. He had paid off a technician to say he was clean. What's worse, Sam's liver also had an undiagnosed hepatoma, which grew faster in Kayla. So Sam's liver gave Kayla both hep C and cancer.

The official malpractice lawsuit arrives and it seeks punitive damages of $10 million. What hasn't Chase told them? After Kayla's cancer blacklisted her from the transplant list, Sam finds a black market liver and had planned to take Kayla to Mexico City for a transplant. Before she could leave, Chase admits his mistake to Kayla. He said he had acted too hastily. He pleads with her to forgo the operation, which would certainly kill her.

Stacy points out that this admission wouldn't warrant the lawsuit. Sam later had returned to Chase for a follow-up. What happened in that meeting? Chase had confessed to Sam that he killed Kayla by not listening to her. He was hung over and just wanted to go home. Sam became enraged. House asks to see Chase outside. He knows that Chase lied to Sam because he wanted Sam to sue the hospital. The guilt he's feeling over Kayla forced him to.

What really happened is that Chase received a call from his stepmother with news that his father died right as Kayla came back into the clinic. House advises Chase to tell the truth so that the hospital can settle. He can continue to lie and lose his career.

After testimony from both House and Chase, the committee reaches a decision. Although Dr. Chase had lied, he will only be suspended for one week because he was reacting to his father's death. Although there is no evidence of a lack of supervision from House, there is a litany of troubling complaints and issues surrounding him. The committee recommends that House's practice be overseen for a period of one month by a doctor of Cuddy's choosing. Cuddy has chosen Dr. Foreman to oversee House.

這一集又是採用的121 3stories的製作手法,現實和閃回不停交叉,剪輯得很有水準,至少能分出哪是現在,哪是閃回。本集的臺詞比較直白,沒什麼典故隱喻可尋,我說一點當時翻譯遇到的難題,片子開始時,媽媽對女兒說:
If Sally’s mean to you again, I’m just gonna have to key her daddy’s new convertible.
如果Sally(女兒的同學)再對你們說什麼,我會把他爸爸的新車畫成花臉。
當時這個Key讓我鬱悶了半天,key做動詞用,字典裡查到的所有解釋明顯都不靠譜,後來看到Sally的爸爸,也就是那個被House又是賄賂又是要脅,搞得狂鬱悶的外科醫生,他的新車被自己的老婆拿車鑰匙一頓狂劃……恍然大悟,感慨Key這個詞用得好啊。


House吃官司了,神仙也是混口飯吃,該低頭也得低頭…

Wilson: You snuck into her shrink's office and read her private file. When Nixon did that, he got impeached.
House: So you're saying I'm not allowed to have oral sex with an intern either?
wilson說的是尼克森的水門事件
House說的就是克林頓和萊溫斯基的事了...

House Season2 EP7

Hunting

Episode 207 : 2005-11-22

House admits to Wilson that he made copies of Stacy's psychiatric evaluation. Wilson is aghast at the breach of ethics. House is incredibly intrigued to find out that things are rough between Stacey and Mark. The couple isn't even having sex.

A man named Kalvin Ryan waits outside House's place, and House is quite familiar with the man because he's practically been stalking him. Kalvin begs House to examine his file, but one quick look at the man's appearance is all House needs to declare that it's AIDS. He advises Kalvin to get his T-cell count re-checked, which Kalvin says he's already done.

Kalvin collapses and begins wheezing. Wilson realizes that the patient is going into anaphylactic shock. Later, Stacy informs House that Kalvin has stated that he will press charges for assault is House refuses to treat him. House presents the case to his team. Foreman and Cameron note that, according to his file, Kalvin recently tested negative for TB, PCP, MAC, CMV and HSV. His T-cell count is at 200. They don't agree with House that an infection is a foregone conclusion.

Kalvin's new meds have rebounded his immune system and dropped his viral load. He's getting better, but also getting sicker. House wonders if the new meds woke up Kalvin's immune system to cause an old infection to restart. He orders an x-ray to find the old infection and steroids for treatment.

Trying to impress Stacy, House visits her home to help her kill a rat. While there, he subtly tries to sabotage her marriage by offering observations that just happen to match the thoughts in her psych profile. The doctors call, informing House that Kalvin's lungs are too scarred for any infections to show on the x-ray. House orders a round of meds to treat the last three infections Kalvin was known to have had.

Kalvin coughs blood that splatters across Cameron's face. The hospital's infection control officer informs her that she'll be given post-exposure prophylaxis and three anti-viral medications. She will also be tested for HIV at six weeks, three months and six months. House is more interested in what the cough means because it's a new symptom. He has Chase and Cameron check Kalvin's pills for toxins.

In Kalvin's home, they find no interesting medicines. Yet they do find photographs that Kalvin took of smashed up light bulbs. The bulbs date to the 1930s, when fluorescent lights contained large amounts of beryllium. Beryllium dust inflames the lungs, causing them to be rigid, which makes it difficult to breathe. Cameron creates a small incision on Kalvin's back in order to biopsy his lungs for beryllium exposure.

Meanwhile, House tries to capture Stacy's rat instead of killing it. House noticed that the rat is tilting its head, which indicates an infection or a brain tumor. This could have been caused by something in the house which could affect Mark and Stacy. House begins laying out cheese spiked with antibiotics.

Back at the hospital, Kalvin complains of chest pains and he is struggling to breathe. He is bleeding from his lungs into the area around his heart. Foreman plunges a needle into Kalvin's chest. The syringe begins to fill with a clear fluid instead of blood. This indicates a tumor in Kalvin's heart.

Wilson reports that a CT scan confirmed the tumor, along with several smaller ones in the lungs. He is sure that it is non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Cameron thinks it could be sarcoidosis, and she asks to do the Kveim Siltzbach test. This stops the doctors in their tracks because the test isn't FDA approved. House knows that Cameron can't resist the strained relationship between Kalvin and his father.

That night, Stacy and House stake out the rat. He notes that the rat's urine indicate toxins from cigarette smoke. Stacy admits to blowing her smoke into the vents. The rat then walks right into one of the traps and is caged.

Cameron calls Chase over to her apartment. She had a discussion with Kalvin and he told her that the discovery of his HIV finally allowed him to let go of worrying about what other people thought. Kalvin had needled her about being too uptight. Cameron decides to let loose and experiment. After taking some of Kalvin's meth, she drags Chase into her bedroom for a wild night.

The next morning at the hospital, Cameron and House arrive to find Kalvin arguing with his father. House asks why Kalvin feels like he needs to apologize if the dad is the one who kicked him out. After some heated back and forth, Kalvin's father says that Kalvin killed his mother.

Cameron explains that Kalvin had lied. Mom's kidneys were failing and Kalvin was a match. He was also HIV positive and couldn't donate his organs. House gets the results of the Kveim test which indicate the patient is negative for sarcoidosis. Wilson breaks the news to Kalvin that he most likely has lymphoma. They will need to get a sample of the tumor even though it is dangerously close to his aorta.

House is discussing the rat's infection with Wilson when he notices that Kalvin's father is still sweating. House has Wilson cancel Kalvin's biopsy because it isn't the problem. House brings the father and son together to ask if they used to hunt foxes together. He then explains that the masses in Kalvin's chest aren't tumors but parasitic cysts from a bug called echinococcosis, which comes from touching a dead fox.

House asks Kalvin's father to take a blood test to determine whether they have the same symptoms. The dad chafes at the idea, so House goads the man about his dead wife until he punches House. This allows House to hit him in the kidney with his cane which ruptures one of the man's liver cysts. He falls into an anaphylactic shock, which is the same thing that happened to Kalvin earlier.

Kalvin and his father successfully recover from surgery. Afterwards, Cameron accuses Kalvin of lying to her about loosening up. She notes that he hasn't had a single visitor. Cameron accuses him of trying to self-destruct because of his mother's death.

House visits with Stacy about his latest assault. He tries to bait her into admitting that she's not sleeping with Mark, but Stacy realizes that his extreme confidence about their relationship must mean that he read her file. She throws him out of her office.

 

207
House: I had to get rid of it before Steve McQueen ate any Coumadin. I named your rat.
House對Stacy說:在史蒂夫.麥奎因吃香豆素之前必須把它藏起來 我給你的老鼠起了名字
House給Stacy的寵物老鼠起名叫史蒂夫.麥奎因
史蒂夫.麥奎因(1930-1980)是二十世紀最偉大的演員之一,也是House的扮演者休.勞瑞的偶像,麥奎因有個外號,叫“天下最酷”,大家可以去網上搜一搜他。


221B
這一集裡我們看到,House的門牌號是221B,和福爾摩斯的一樣


House: Smell like urine? Missing any asparagus?
House說:聞起來像尿嗎?是不是想吃蘆筍了?
House的這句話來自西方的一個傳說,某個人尿液的氣味特別,說明此人的智力高。很多人就吃蘆筍,因為蘆筍中含有硫醇,能讓尿液的氣味很特別,其實是很臭……
PS:這些典故和隱喻等等,有一部分是當時翻譯時遇到的,更多還是後來在網上查到的,大家可以去www.tv.com和維琪百科上查House的相關內容,我寫的這些裡面基本都有,我所做的,其實只是個簡單的翻譯資訊的工作,大家都可以寫。

Outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Manhattan, Donald Trump lays out this week's challenge. He introduces the head of the Loews hotel chain -- the celebs will take over five rooms each at one of his high-end properties. They'll deliver room service, work as concierges, and clean rooms. They're to provide top-notch service; the guests will provide the feedback on which team did a better job. Trump announces that Khloe has been  asked to sit out for the day, so the teams are more even.Outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Manhattan, Donald Trump lays out this week's challenge.

The teams pick their leaders. The women (team Athena) pick Tionne (T-Boz) Watkins to lead them and the men choose Dennis Rodman. They know it's time for Dennis to make or break it. The teams pick their leaders. The women (team Athena) pick Tionne (T-Boz) Watkins to lead them and the men choose Dennis Rodman. They know it's time for Dennis to make or break it. "Let's rock and roll, bro," Dennis says, pumping his fist as he walks off with his team. In the van he continues to pump up the guys, delegating the roles. Dennis will be the front man, greeting guests and making sure they receive outstanding customer service.

 

 

The teams start their training with the hotel staff at the Loews Regency Hotel. The head of housekeeping explains how to make a bed properly, clean the bathrooms, everything; she explains it should take about 20 minutes to clean a room. The concierge explains that they should provide everything a guest wants, from an in-room massage to having a dog walked. Team members from both sides confess that the training is moving very fast; most new staff get two weeks of training and the celebs are getting less than a day.The teams start their training with the hotel staff at the Loews Regency Hotel.

Dennis takes charge, reaching out to his network of contacts in New York. He arranges for cookies from Carnegie Deli, and limousines to provide free rides. His team is impressed -- until room service shows up with two tall vodka cranberry cocktails he has ordered. Dennis takes charge, reaching out to his network of contacts in New York.

In the team van, Dennis and Brian disagree about some of the tactics Dennis wants to employ. Brian is dismissive but makes his case, clearly explaining that his butt is on the line too, and he doesn't want to lose. Dennis, still drinking, grows perturbed and the discussion erupts into a shouting match. In the team van, Dennis and Brian disagree about some of the tactics Dennis wants to employ.

Brande, Annie, and Melissa don housekeeping outfits and start cleaning the rooms. They're disgusted: cleaning bathrooms, cleaning stains from the carpet, making the beds just so. On the men's team, Herschel and Jesse get busy too. They all develop a new appreciation for the job a professional staff does.

Joan greets Athena's first guests, charming them and looking for clues as to how she could help them enjoy their stay. When the guests tell her they're looking for theatre tickets, Joan tells them she'll do everything she can to make it happen. Meanwhile, the men are caught flatfooted: their rooms aren't quite ready and there's no one to greet the first guest. Finally, Clint steps up to fill in for Dennis. More guests arrive for both teams, each more demanding than the previous one. They want theatre tickets, champagne, dinner reservations at hot restaurants, seats on stage -- the list goes on and the concierges from both teams smile and agree to help them out.Joan greets Athena's first guests, charming them and looking for clues as to how she could help them enjoy their stay.

Actor Stephen Baldwin shows up as a surprise guest for the women, and "Sopranos" star Vincent Pastore arrives to be taken care of by the men. Joan Rivers explains that celebrities expect everything a little nicer and a little quicker. Pastore obliges, asking for a laundry list of special favors: a special table at a special restaurant, cannoli from a particular bakery, a music CD of Roy Orbison, etc. Dennis holds his tongue, but he's clearly being tested.

 

 

Stephen Baldwin doesn't like his room's view. Instead of Central Park West, it looks out on 61st street and a Stephen Baldwin doesn't like his room's view. Instead of Central Park West, it looks out on 61st street and a "crappy hot dog vendor." He complains to Joan Rivers, who smoothes him over a bit, explaining that it's the best suite in the hotel and offers great privacy. Baldwin is placated for the time being.

 

 

 

Joan loves the challenge of taking care of all the demanding guests.

Ivanka interviews Dennis at the hotel. She asks if he's got more respect for his teammates now that he's the leader. He's answers somewhat incoherently, apologizing for talking over her head. Ivanka's convinced that he's drunk and that he's got a short attention span anyway. She's clearly dubious about team KOTU under Dennis's leadership.Ivanka interviews Dennis at the hotel.

KOTU is indeed overwhelmed. Brian is having trouble keeping up with the endless calls to the concierge desk; one customer has been waiting over 75 minutes for his room service request for a bottle of Chardonnay. When he finally arranges the room service delivery, it's champagne, not Chardonnay. The guests are patient, but unhappy. Finally the right bottle is tracked down and delivered by Dennis, who's also displeased. He follows up with the father and son guests (who are celebrating their birthdays), personally arranging the restaurant reservation -- and then driving them there himself and joining them for dinner.KOTU is indeed overwhelmed.

Since Dennis has abandoned his team by heading to dinner with two of the guests, Brian, Clint, Jesse, and Herschel band together and step it up. They locate theatre tickets, table reservations to the hottest restaurants, and the cannoli and CDs for Vincent Pastorre. They all admit that they're probably working better without Dennis around.Since Dennis has abandoned his team by heading to dinner with two of the guests, Brian, Clint, Jesse, and Herschel band together and step it up.

Stephen Baldwin is upset. The night on the town that concierge Joan Rivers arranged for him came with a hefty price tag. His theatre tickets included a $400 cover charge and $142 in fees.  Joan realizes she made a mistake and does her best to make amends; she'll check into getting the fees discounted or waived. She runs into a similar problem with another guest who has ordered a manicure and pedicure in the room -- only to discover later that the charge is doubled for in-room service. Again she apologizes; she wonders aloud if she's doing damage to her team's chances.Stephen Baldwin is upset.

When Dennis does return after dinner, he's clearly intoxicated. He loudly compliments two of the female guests and yells about how great New York is. Asked about the cookies he was supposed to have the chef prepare, he fumes and begins wandering the hotel kitchen, ordering more cocktails, and grabbing an entire bin of cookies, which he plops in front of Brian at the concierge desk.

He strips out of his hotel uniform, dons his street clothes, and drives off. Jesse, a recovered alcoholic himself, is worried that Dennis may have an alcohol abuse problem.

 

The next morning, breakfast orders come rolling in all at once to the women's team. They do their best to keep up with the guests. Athena had offered a free breakfast as part of their service -- and the guests are taking them up on it. But they're demanding, needing the meals delivered at specific times and requesting a variety of breakfast items. The women stumble but generally get the orders delivered.The next morning, breakfast orders come rolling in all at once to the women's team. They do their best to keep up with the guests.

The men are enjoying a quiet lull; their guests are apparently sleeping in. Dennis returns to a cool reception from his teammates. He's even colder to them, asking Clint not to talk to him. He knows he's going to be fired and elects to just rest on a couch. His teammates feel sorry for him.The men are enjoying a quiet lull; their guests are apparently sleeping in.

The guests begin the rating process, discussing the details large and small. Late check-ins, hidden charges, over-eager service, aloof service.  Both teams feel that despite some setbacks, that their offering was superior.The guests begin the rating process, discussing the details large and small.

Both teams assemble in the boardroom to begin the interviews with Donald Trump. Ivanka and the Loews exec read back some of the comments. The guests had generally positive things to say about both teams. Trump asks Dennis if he think his team won. Dennis says no, but won't really go into why. Trump quizzes other team members and Jesse is forthright in saying he thinks Dennis has a drinking problem; his teammates concur and so do the women.Both teams assemble in the boardroom to begin the interviews with Donald Trump.

Dennis doesn't want to address that issue head on, but says that he thinks the team let him down. His KOTU cohorts agree that he had good ideas in the beginning but that his leadership faded quickly and that he walked away in the heat of battle. When Trump presses him on the drinking issue, he laughs off the charge, saying that Jesse had a drinking problem when he was young. Jesse acknowledges that he did have an alcohol problem and that he has been sober for nine years. Poignantly, Jesse points out the differences between the two great athletes on either side of him -- Dennis and Herschel. One commands respect and admiration, and one doesn't.Dennis doesn't want to address that issue head on, but says that he thinks the team let him down.

Dennis tries to defend himself, saying he was frustrated, and that his teammates didn't support him. They all disagree. Dennis boasts that he can't be a bad guy, that he's won five NBA titles and that Phil Jackson called him the greatest athlete he's coached.

The results are announced: on a scale of 100, the men were rated at 86 for service; the women scored 91. T-Boz has won $20,000 for her charity. Trump explains that normally he would send the winning team out of the boardroom and have the losing team leader return with two colleagues for a final grilling, but in this case, it's cut and dried and everyone in the room knows it.The results are announced: on a scale of 100, the men were rated at 86 for service; the women scored 91.

After Dennis's teammates express their respect and support for him, Donald gets the last word. He says he knows the real Dennis and he's a great guy, but that when he's drinking he becomes someone else.

這集看完最大的感想就是以後住飯店要對服務人員致上12萬分敬意。

上集獲勝隊伍的project manager Brian 替Youthville U.S.A爭得獎金 2萬美金。

這集任務是每隊有五個飯店房間,由顧客評分飯店管理,分數高者獲勝。

從清掃到餐點,全部都由參賽者負責。Leader分別是Tionne (T-Boz)和Dennis Rodman。

前四個小時,Dennis Rodman的確扮演很好的Leader角色,但那只有前四小時。四小時過後Dennis Rodman接觸到酒精,一切都變了樣,說話越說越大聲,完全不是領導者應有的態度。相形之下,T-Boz做事有條理,獲得所有女參賽者的肯定。

我不得不配服Dennis Rodman的人脈,他幾乎一通電話,想要什麼就有什麼。

Dennis Rodman和Brian在車上為了法拉利停在門口而吵架。Brian說得很對,顧客不是因為有一台法拉利停在門口就會給高分,而是"服務"。

這集其實就是服務的考驗。兩位美國運動史上非常重要的運動員,在此次任務中完全展現出極大的差別。Dennis Rodman 一直往廚房走,然後順手拿酒,Herschel則是從基層做起,放下身段。我對Dennis Rodman 一直A酒的這種行徑非常不以為然。他還一直說禪師傑克森說他是籃球界最偉大的球星,也是最好教的球星,連喬丹都不如。這種話從他嘴裡說出真的很不齒,哪有人老王賣瓜,賣花的說花香。

好多顧客都要求訂票,兩隊都盡量滿足,不過Stephen Baldwin很不爽,因為River沒有告訴他His theatre tickets included a $400 cover charge and $142 in fees。看一場戲要1萬多,真是天殺的貴,不愧是美國。沒錯,就是Stephen Baldwin,第七季參賽者。

Dennis Rodman 喝完酒回來,又開始發酒瘋,最後又自己離開回家丟下隊友,這種人怎適合當Leader,他連teamworker都不行。

所以你說,不Fire Dennis Rodman ,更待何時!
