House (2004–2012): Season 6, Episode 3 - The Tyrant - full transcript

We will anger the Americans
slipping out like this.

lf your son
was a student

at one of the greatest
universities in the world. . .

So make him
come to you.

We are protected
near the UN.

But once we cross
42nd Street. . .

As always, l appreciate
your caution, Joseph.

But as always,
you have far
too much of it.

(THUNDER RUMBLlNG)

(BRAKES SCREECHlNG)

Stay down, sir.



Get on the ground !
Get on the ground !

l'm just
serving process!

Your boss is being sued
under Title 1 8

of the United States Code,
section 1 350,

for genocide,
crimes against humanity,
and torture.

NTlLA: Mr. President,
this is only
a civil lawsuit.

We can ignore it.

(RETCHlNG)

Mr. President.

You want us
to work for Foreman?

CUDDY: Not permanently.

He is setting up
interviews

to replace Taub
and Thirteen,

but it might take
a couple of weeks.



Well, what happened
to them?

He quit,
and l had to
let her go.

You actually fired
your girlfriend?

Yes.

You two are
both competent,

and l know l can
work with you.

You really do know
how to woo.

l need you.

lt would be interesting.

And we could
work together.

Did you see who
the patient is?

That's one of the reasons
it'll be interesting.

Dibala is one of the most
repressive dictators
in the world.

You had no problem
treating a guy
on death row.

Who was still in prison
after we patched him up.

We fix Dibala,
he gets on a plane

and executes
half his country.

He's been repressing
an ethnic rebellion
in the south,

the Sitibi people.

lt's getting worse.

Dibala is a guest
of the US government,

and he's been invited
to speak at the UN.

l'm not asking
you to love him,

l'm asking you
to do your job.

Utterly incomprehensible.

And, of course,
l'm talking about you
firing your girlfriend.

We weren't getting along
with her working under me.

This'll help.
Cameron and l
worked together.

But you weren't
her boss,

and you stopped
working together.

Why don't you just tell her
you were wrong and. . .

Because l wasn't.

l know how
this looks.

l know it might
break us up.

But that's better
than definitely
breaking us up,

which is what would've
happened otherwise.

CHASE: Hemorrhagic
ulcers in the lungs.

Oh, my God,
it's three years ago.

Does that mean
l'm still crazy?

You're back?

You look good.

We're just
helping out because. . .
l know.

l just ran
into Thirteen

while she was
clearing out her locker.

My condolences.

Although it's not like
she's the hottest woman
in the world.

We haven't broken up.
Are you back?

Sort of.
You get your
license back?

Not for a month or so.

So you'll be in charge,
l'm just gonna
pitch in a little.

Dibala thinks it was
an assassination attempt.

Polonium,
like the Russian guy
in London.

FBl checked the service
of process forms
and his hotel room.

No radioactivity trails.

Acid reflux?

No history of
asthma or heartburn.

He has a bug bite
on his hands.

Malaria's endemic
in his country.

Let's start him
on Coartem.

(CLEARlNG THROAT)

l don't want to step
on any toes,

but l guess l do
have a higher duty
to the patient.

lf you have something
to say, say it.

You're rushing
to a diagnosis

because you're
rushing out of this room

because you're
rightly upset with me.

Although l wasn't the one
who made that
asinine decision to. . .

Do you have anything
medical to say?

Poison fits better
because of the vomiting.

Bug bite might
not be a bite,

it might be
the start of chloracne.

Assassination attempt
through dioxin poisoning.

lt's hard to detect.
Fits.

Start him on olestra.

You couldn't have just
said dioxin up front?

l was hoping you'd
get there on your own.

So, l guess we
should talk to Cuddy.

You are sure
it is dioxin?

Nope.

lt's our best guess.
The olestra here
binds to the poison,

flushes it out
of your system.

Where are you from,
doctor?

l'm Australian.

Do l hear a bit
of British?

Most people
don't notice it.

Yeah, l kicked
around there for a while.

You went to
medical school there?

Actually,
a year of seminary.

DlBALA: And you left.
Uh-huh.

There was a Catholic mission
near my childhood village.

l liked the priests.
They were good people.

But when my two
younger sisters were dying
from consumption,

it wasn't more priests
we wanted.

l fired my girlfriend
because he said
he was gone for good.

l need this in my life.

A week ago,
it was the last
thing you needed.

lt's a process.
l'm learning.

And screwing me over
as you go.

Yeah,
that's why l did it.

Sorry.

lf you want,
l'll explain it
to Thirteen.

He's not ready.
He doesn't have his license.

Then he can't practice.
But we'd be idiots
not to listen to him.

You're in charge.
He sits in on all
the differentials.

Until you get
your license back,
this is all unofficial.

No procedures,
no patient contact.

l think l can probably deal
with that last one.

(KNOCKlNG ON DOOR)

The only reason
l let you go

is because our relationship
wouldn't work

if l was in charge.

But l won't be
in charge soon

so l came to offer
your old job back.

l know l look bad,
but circumstances
have changed.

l don't want the job.

Why not?

Because there's a much
simpler explanation
for you firing me.

You wanted to
break up with me,

but you were too weak
to do it yourself.

Then why would l try
to hire you back?

Can we please get
some dinner tonight?

l'm sorry.

Uh. . .

You're a follow-up?

You must not treat him.

Dibala killed my wife.

She was a trade unionist.

They took her
from our home
while l was at work.

Who took her?

Dibala's Youth
Labor League.

He pretends it's
to get young people
off the street,

but he takes teenage boys
from the provinces

and feeds them
drugs and alcohol

and teaches them
how to torture.

They dumped her body
in my yard
two weeks later.

They raped her.

They carved "inyenzi",
cockroach,

onto her stomach
because she's Sitibi.

l'm very sorry,
but l can't discuss
other patients.

You should talk
to a lawyer,
talk to the UN. . .

So they can sit and watch
like they did in Rwanda?

There are
two million Sitibi.

He is planning to
massacre them all.

His radio stations
are talking about

a final war to
exterminate the cockroaches.

He can't recover.

l'm sorry.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

How was your
first day of school?

(SlGHS)

Didn't pee once
in the sandbox.

How was it with Cuddy?

What did you think
l was talking about?

Hmm.

You didn't use garlic.
You didn't use it
last night either.

We always use garlic
on Chicken Florentine.

lt tastes fine
this way.

You seem to be losing
your sense of smell.

(SlGHS)

l think you're losing
your sense of mind.

l can check right now
if you pull my finger.

(TELEVlSlON CHATTERlNG)

No, it's the. . .

Are you inventing
some big medical
mystery here?

Because if you're
imagining things again. . .

You weren't wearing shoes
last night either.

(SlGHS)

Yes, shoes, garlic,
l am vampire, Sookie.

(BANGlNG ON FLOOR)

l told you to get
that echo fixed.

My downstairs neighbor,
after you moved in,

started complaining
about the extra noise
and the cooking smells.

What's his name?

l don't want you
making things worse.

He's on the condo board,

and l'm trying to get
the back garden renovated.

The white coats
taught me a whole bunch

of fun coping
and relating skills.

He's not only
a total jerk,

he's a decorated war hero
who lost an arm in Vietnam.

l mean,
there's no winning
with this guy.

Coping skill number one,
complete avoidance.

(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG)

You happy?

Booty call?
Give me 20 minutes
to not shower.

Patient's having
a heart attack.

Mask and 1 5 liters.

Just thought
you'd like to know.

(HEART MONlTOR BEEPlNG)

Streptokinase. Heparin.

Lassa fever.

You were mad that
l withheld it last time,

so l'm saying it
right up front.

He's already stabilized,
so 40ccs of ribavirin,

and we're home
in time for EIIen.

l checked.
There's no Lassa
in Dibala's country.

Oh.
The rash is gone.

lt rules out
your dioxin theory.

He's running
a slight fever,

which we can add
to the heart,
plus the lung ulcers.

CHASE: Ebola? Marburg?

Too long
an incubation period and. . .

Yes?

Don't people sometimes
travel to places
that have, you know,

a fever that originated
in the Nigerian town
of Lassa?

He's been to
three other countries
in the last two years.

Here, Zimbabwe and
Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
No Lassa there either.

Oh. Again.

Trypanosomiasis?

No sleep disturbances,
but it fits best
with his symptoms

and it's geographically
the most. . . What?

The Egypt visit was
for the African
Union meeting,

where l'm guessing
he was "meeting"
people from "Africa",

which includes Liberia,

which sent some members
of their foreign ministry

which has itself
just been hit by
an outbreak of jock itch.

No, wait, not jock itch.
Lassa fever.

l'll start the ribavirin.

l did say it up front.

lt's great to
have the old team
back together again, huh?

Yesterday,
it's poisoning,

today, Lassa fever.

Maybe a specialist. . .

Joseph, leave him alone.

These people know
what they are doing.

Are you married, doctor?

No.

You have a girlfriend?

Yes.

Judging by your
tentative answer

and the complicated
expression on her face,

l believe that is she
standing in the hallway.

l got a call from
Douglas' department
at Princeton General.

They want me to
interview with them.

Which is weird
because when
l called last week,

they said they had
nothing available,

so l never sent in
my resume.

Douglas owes me a favor.

Most people
send chocolates.

And l'd stand outside
your apartment all night
holding up a boom box

except you told me
you hate '80s music.

So about dinner,
(CLEARlNG THROAT)
l'm free tomorrow night.

(DOOR CLOSES)

l was wondering
what that noise was.
lt's the damn cane.

And l'm Greg.

And l can't sleep
with you banging around
with that thing.

(CHUCKLlNG)

You're not actually saying
that l have too loud a cane?

ls that hard for you
to understand?

Well, only in the sense
that it has a rubber tip

on the end,
not a tap shoe.

Now you're
getting cute with me.

Okay, we started badly.
l apologize for the noise

and we will try
to figure out a way
to be quieter.

And a thousand other things
l don't give a crap about.

Now you keep it down
or we're going
to have trouble.

(DOOR OPENS)

Wow.

CAMERON: You paged me?

This is Ama.
She is from our country,
but she lives here now.

We'd like you
to use her blood.

For what?

She recovered
from Lassa fever
two years ago.

Our Health Minister
has advised us

that plasma from one
who has the antibodies

is much more effective
than ribavirin.

NTlLA: This is
a signed consent form.

Will you take
her blood, please?

No.

l want to do this.

You understand
that we will be
using your blood

to cure
President Dibala.

l know.

Are you from
the Sitibi people?

l am Sitibi.

Did they threaten you
in some way?

Your family members
back home?

Please let me
give the blood. Please.

Do it.

She's being coerced.

lf she is,

l'd rather have
a needle prick
on my conscience

than the death of
her family members.

(SHOUTlNG) Hey!
Don't let him in there!

(GUN FlRlNG)

(RUWE GROANlNG)

That's enough,
we got him.

Hey.

(GROANlNG)

You all right?

Who is that man?

He shot him?

No.

You need a lawyer.

You can get
a court-appointed.

l can help you.

l can't be helped.

You did a stupid,
terrible thing.

But given the circumstances
with your wife,

you could get
a reduced sentence.

She wasn't my wife.

Well, who was she?

They never
told us her name.

What his men made us do
to that woman,

he is now going to do
to all the Sitibi.

You could have
gotten killed.

He wasn't
going to hurt me.

He fired a gun
in the hospital.

Come here.

Maybe next time,
don't yell out
that warning.

The bloody eye was from
an enlarged lymph node
blocking the retinal vein.

We restored
circulation,

but it means we've got
to add lymph involvement

to the heart and lungs,
and rising fever.

l'm just going to
sit here quietly.

Why?

l feel like l've been
inadvertently undermining
your authority.

So l'm just gonna observe.
l'm not gonna say a word.

The heart could point
to sarcoidosis.

(CLEARlNG THROAT LOUDLY)

l'm thinking the X-rays
indicate a lack
of hilar adenopathy,

which rules it out.

Staph aureus?

CHASE: No.

Because he smokes?

He's miming
a thermometer.

He says the fever's
not high enough.

So some other infection.

FOREMAN: He's wrong.

The fever could be
misleading us into
thinking infection.

(EXHALES)

Talk.

lt could all fit
with lymphoma.

l need you to
spread your legs
so l can do an "H".

Can't be lymphoma.
LDH is normal.

He's got good
liver function,

it's masking
the elevated levels.

Biopsy the lymph node.
Check it out.

Makes sense.
Guess you don't need me.

Oh. By the way,
you might want to
close the blinds.

lt's really bright
in here.

lt's just
a wild coincidence

that he thought
you were a rude jerk.

Come on, give me
the benefit of the doubt.

You said he's a jerk.
l barely talked.

You talked !

(SlGHS)

All l wanted was to
sip morning espresso

next to a peaceful,
burbling fountain.

You could be
sipping Courvoisier

next to a replica
of the Playboy grotto

if you tell him
what you got on him.

l don't have
anything on him.

l don't want
anything on him.

Closest he's been
to Vietnam,

ordering the Mee Krob
at that place on the corner.

Mee Krob is
from Thailand.

Exactly.

What did you do?
Why do you think
he's faking?

l saw his mail.

You broke in?

No. He was holding it.
Private medical insurance,
not from the VA.

Plus he's gotta
be early 50s.

He's too young
to be a vet.
So, l looked further.

You did break in.

Online.

There's no reference to him
in any of the vet records.

Why would he fake
being a veteran?

Well, just look
how you're acting.

People have been
tiptoeing around
this jerk for years.

Normally, we'd all
tell the amputee
to go screw himself.

Victims get pity.
Heroes get adulation.
lt's way better.

Thank you for trying
to help me out
with my neighbor.

Now forget
the Vietnam stuff.

l could prove this.

But you won't because
you'll be too busy

writing him
a letter of apology

and dropping it at his door,
without knocking at his door.

l didn't do anything.
That guy's a total ass.

Which is the point.
lt's easy to be nice
to people you like,

but being nice to
people you hate,
that's a skill. Do it.

Thank you
for saving my life.

The man that
tried to kill you,

he said that you were
preparing a massacre.

The Sitibi are
my countrymen.

l am fighting
a guerrilla war.

ln a way that's
being called genocide.

Twenty years ago,
these same Sitibi rebels
took over the south.

They massacred
tens of thousands,

and they would
happily do it again.

l'm trying to impose order.

l'm trying to prevent
a genocide. Genocide.

My own son, my youngest,
he is a student here.

He hasn't
spoken to me in years

because of what he read
in your newspapers.

But what he read
is not true.

What about your
Youth Labor League?

(EXCLAlMS
lN DlSAPPOlNTMENT)

There, l was at fault.

l hired men who,
in their zeal,
stepped over the line,

and there were abuses.

But that will
not happen again.

Hello?

How's it going?

Normal-looking nucleus.

How's it going
with you?

lt worried me
when you joked

about letting that man
shoot Dibala.

l wasn't joking.

You can't want
to kill anyone,

especially not
your own patient.

lt's only natural
to feel. . .

No, it's completely
unnatural.

Only psychopaths
can kill other people

without having some
sort of breakdown.

Not when it's justified.
Look at soldiers.

Even when
it's justified.

Am l trying to
kill our patient?
Of course not.

But if he died,
am l supposed
to just pretend

that wouldn't be good
for the world?

The cells are
neatly differentiated.
This isn't lymphoma.

l thought l had detected
the sickly sweet smell
of maple syrup

and socialized medicine.

(SLURPlNG)

lt smells like victory.

That big flag in your place
prompted me to chat
with your housekeeper.

Turns out you're a citizen
of the Great White North.

You broke into
my apartment?

Technically, no.
Well, technically, yeah,

but two steps,
hardly. . .

You're going to jail.

Speaking of,
you know what
can get you

six months and
a $1 00,000 fine?

Falsely claiming
that you won a medal
in Vietnam.

You think l'm faking?

Canada did not send troops
to fight in Vietnam,
you idiot.

They sent troops
to reinforce
the '73 Peace Accords,

which is where
l tried to free
a 1 2-year-old boy

who stepped
on a land mine.

Thirty-six years later,
every second l feel pain
in my hand

like l'm still grabbing
that boy's arm

even though
my arm isn't there.

So, no, l'm not faking.

Oh.

On a related note,
go Maple Leafs.

Did you get
the biopsy results?

ls it lymphoma?

No.

So we have to move on.

lnfection,
perhaps autoimmune. . .

Did you get
the biopsy results?

Yes, l just told you.

ls it lymphoma?

Cameron and Chase?

They both really
like diagnostics,

and l think they both
really like watching
House torture me.

Anyway, thank you
for understanding
about the job.

l had two really
crappy alternatives.

There was a third.

What's that?

You could have
stepped aside.

(LAUGHlNG) We both would
have lost our jobs.

You could have
asked Cameron or Chase
to take your place.

They wouldn't
have wanted to.

You just said
they both really
like diagnostics.

You want to
go back in time?

l want to
make this work.

l want to understand you.
l mean, you know
how you made me feel.

lf you could
do it again. . .

l made the right decision.

l need your confidential
medical opinion.

ls the President capable
of thinking clearly?

Obviously not right now.

Will he ever be?

l think. . .

Neurons don't grow back,
and he's already
in his decline.

Anything he tells you,
any command he gives,
how will you ever know

it's not just
the delusions of a sick,
mad, dying, old man?

(OVER lNTERCOM)
He just started
spiking a fever.

lt's scleroderma.

You don't have
some clever way
of telling me this time?

Patient's dying.
l'm done with clever.

Look at his skin.
lt's tight for
a 75-year-old.

Based on
his admission photo?
Bit subjective.

Fever points
to infection.

And now he's got
nodules on his fingers.
That's blastomycosis.

Nodules? You're calling
tight skin subjective?

l'm with Foreman.

We would have
seen fungus balls
on the head CT.

Fungal lesions
can be missed.

CAMERON: We could
settle this with a test.

Anticentromere antibodies
would point to scleroderma.

Point to, not prove.
And his fever's too high.
We have to treat him now.

lf we treat wrong,
we could send this
disease into overdrive.

You're with me on
the scleroderma?

l guess.
l just don't care enough
about the patient

to waste my time trying
to convince anyone.
We get it.

You don't like the guy,
you don't want to
work on this case.

And yet
you're still here.

Why don't you
take a stand?

Either do something
about it or shut up.

Treat him for blasto
if you want.

l'll get Cuddy.
l can convince her to. . .

This isn't a democracy.

l don't care who you get.

At least for right now,
this is my department.

We're treating
him for blasto.

Start him
on amphotericin B.

lnject my lV
with an air bubble.

What are you doing?

l will have
another heart attack.

No one will know.

Let her go.

You tell my colonel
l'm a sick, dying old man
who can't be trusted.

l didn't say. . .

You were trying to
put a gun in his hand

and point it at my head.
The gun is now in your hand.

That is
a practical difference,
not a moral one.

lf you want me dead,
then pull the trigger.

lt is not so easy
when you have to
do it yourself.

Allison.

l guess l didn't
want you dead.

lf you touch
my wife again,

l'll kick your ass
out onto the street.

l don't care
who you are.

l did her a favor.
l showed her
her true character.

She's a better person
than you are.

She is too weak to
act on her beliefs.

But that is not her fault.
Almost everyone is.

Even my own advisers,
my own colonel.

All they do is
negotiate and debate
and sign treaties.

They are appeasers.

All the while,
we are beset by assassins
and traitors, the scum. . .

Cockroaches?

What are you gonna
do about them?

What is an enemy to you?

Some younger physician
who covets your office?

ln my world,
there are dangers
and bloodshed and death,

and that makes you a man.
And men make choices.

And your choice is
to send bands of drunk,
crazed children

to massacre
an entire people?

Don't ask me questions
you don't want to
know the answer to.

l saved your life.
l deserve to know what
you're planning to do.

Whatever it takes to
protect my country.

You broke
into his apartment?

l didn't break in.

(SlGHS)

l wish l believed you.

l can fix this.

l already did.

He was gonna
press charges,

but l promised him
you'd leave.

You're kicking me out?

l'll explain it
to your psychiatrist,

but, yeah, you gotta
go somewhere else.

House, l know
when things go wrong,

usually you just double down
and get more involved.

But here,
you could go to jail.

And l truly believe

that you've changed
enough to know
this is the right thing.

CAMERON: We need
a blood sample.

We gotta do
the anticentromere
antibody test.

lt'll show House is right.
lt's scleroderma.

Why are you
doing this now?

Because l didn't
want to kill him.

And you're right.
l have to take a side.

So l'm gonna do
what l can to
keep him alive.

l'll get you the blood.

Positive for
anticentromere antibodies.

We gotta get him
off the anti-fungals

and onto steroids
immediately.

l told you before.

This only points
to scleroderma.
lt doesn't prove it.

You're just gonna
ignore the test?

Blasto still fits best.

l know it's not conclusive,
but when you put it

with all
the other evidence. . .

l've made my decision.

Have you told Thirteen
you were wrong to fire her?

What does that have
to do with anything?

l've worked with
you long enough
to know you're reasonable.

You can usually admit
when you're wrong.

But there's some
deep part of you

that when you find
you're wrong about

the most important
decisions you've made,

you get insecure
and you just retrench.

lf you wanna mess up
your relationship
that's your right,

but you mess this up,
our patient dies.

Switch him to steroids.

(SlGHS)

Hi, honey.

How was your day?

Morning.

First of all, my bad.

l've gone through this
whole thing recently.
l don't want to bore you.

Short version,
l'm really trying to
do work on some stuff.

This is a definite setback.

Although, in fairness,
you really did
make it tough.

Phantom pain in
your missing arm,

the five different
kinds of painkiller
in your medicine cabinet,

that's what this magic box
of neurological trickery
is for.

(GRUNTlNG)

This'll be a lot easier if
you do what the crazy guy
who tied you up says.

(MUFFLED SCREAM)

(GROANlNG)

(PANTlNG)

Put your hand in there.
Put your hand in there.

Now look.

Mirror magic.

Your arm is back.

Now clench
both your fists
at the same time.

Clench. Real hard.

lf you believe in God,

pray that
this is gonna work.

You might also
want to ask him
why he blew off your arm.

Ready?

Now let go.

(GASPS)

Oh, my God.

You relaxed it.

For 36 years
l've been in pain,
and it's finally gone.

(SOBBlNG) Oh, my God.

Thank you.

(BEEPlNG RAPlDLY)

O2 sat's down to 88.

Going through
the main stem bronchus
into the right upper lobe.

Get them out of here!
No!

lt's okay.

Bleeder.

Cauterizing.

Got it?
Yeah.

(MONlTOR BEEPlNG NORMALLY)

(MONlTOR BEEPlNG RAPlDLY)

Get the paddles.

l'm going back in.

What is happening?

CHASE: He's bleeding
into his lungs.
CAMERON: Charging.

Another bleeder.
l can get it.

Hold on.
There's a third.

God, there's a dozen.

Shock him.

Clear.

(DEFlBRlLLATOR CHARGlNG)

CAMERON: Charging. Clear.

(MONlTOR FLATLlNES)

You want to
curl up and cry,

the lounge chair's
a little more comfy.

l switched his meds.

l thought l was wrong,
so l took him off
the antifungals,

put him on steroids
like you said.

You know what
that means.

l was too late
or l was right
in the first place.

So, either you
killed him

by not having confidence
in your opinion

or you killed him
by being too attached
to your opinion.

lf you're anything like me,
and by the way, you are,

you need to know which.

He's under lock and key
in the morgue.

His government wants
their own doctors
to do the autopsy.

They're taking his body
out tomorrow.

There's a reason
l hired you.

You used to know
what to do
with a locked door.

l went down to the morgue
to rerun the antibodies test.

You ran it twice.

Turns out,
l couldn't get in.

They had
an armed guard.

But l saw this.

lt's a sign-in sheet
from the morgue.

Your signature,
9:45 this morning.

That's right before
you guys ran the test.

What were you
doing there?

Follow-up on
a clinic case.

What case?

You think this is
really important?

One of the patients
in the morgue

was a 70-year-old woman
who had scleroderma.

You and Cameron,
if you took
that woman's blood,

you could have
messed up the test results

so we treated Dibala
for the wrong disease.

Cameron had nothing
to do with it.

You son of a bitch !

He was going to
kill the Sitibi,

every last one of them.

l don't care what
he was gonna do.

He came to us
and put his life
in our hands.

All the good we've done,

every life we've saved,
it would have meant nothing

if we just sent him off
to kill hundreds of
thousands of people.

Look at the news.

The moderates
are taking over.

There's hope
for peace talks.

You tell the world
that l faked this test,

Dibala becomes a martyr.
The massacres begin.

l cover this up,
l become your accomplice.

You think you can
guilt me into that?

lf the cops are
going to come for me,

please warn me

so that l can
tell my wife first.

Chase,

you really think
you can kill
another human being

without any consequences
to yourself?

No.

(TELEVlSlON CHATTERlNG)

My neighbor called.

He sounded happy.

That's nice.

Even nicer, he's approving
the garden expansion.

Huh.

And even more nicer,

he's not going
to press charges,

even if you
don't move out.

What did you do to him?

l was nice.

You really want
to know?

l think l want to
give you the benefit
of the doubt.

WOMAN ON TV: Alligators' main
prey is smaller animals

that they can kill and
eat with a single bite.

BOTH: Oh !

HOUSE: (LAUGHlNG) Oh !
