Cuddy: There’s…nothing wrong with you.
(Cuddy closed the door behind her, and unbuttoned her manteau and took it off before sitting on House’s sofa.)
Amber: Oh come on. toi can’t figure this out for yourself?
(Amber was sitting suivant to House on the piano stool.)
House: I know.
Cuddy: toi know what it is?
House: I know what it isn’t. I know that…
Amber: Tell her.
Cuddy: It’s okay. toi don’t have to…
Amber: You do.
House: I should…and I will.
(Cuddy stood up and walked towards the piano, sitting where Amber was sitting; suivant to House on the piano stool.)
Cuddy: I can stay tonight…if toi want me to.
(House stared down at the piano keys, and reflected in the silence.)
House: Thank you.
--
Cuddy: Tell me what’s going on.
(House looked at Cuddy.)
House: Amber.
Cuddy: Amber?
(House seemed reluctant to say anything more, but House knew this was the best way.)
House: I’m seeing…I have been seeing a hallucination of her.
(Cuddy gave a look of concern at House.)
House: I know it’s me, but…it’s Amber.
Cuddy: House, you’re not superman. You’ve been through a lot this an what with Amber and Wilson then with the hostage situation, your father’s death and now Kutner’s suicide. It was bound to fester into something.
House: Yeah well, unless I can get some sleep…I’m not going to be able to snap out of it.
(House and Cuddy looked at each other, with sexual tension toi could cut with a knife.)
Cuddy: Well…err. Do toi want a drink?
(Cuddy stood up, and walked away from House.)
Cuddy: I know I do.
House: toi don’t have to stay.
(Cuddy turned around and faced House again.)
Cuddy: I know I don’t have to…but I want to.
(House got up and made his way to the kitchen, whilst Cuddy sat back down on the sofa and kicked off her heels; bringing them up and curled up on the sofa.)
Cuddy: Thanks.
(House brought in a glass, with a large bottle of vodka, wine and bière for himself.)
Cuddy: toi offering up a bar?
(House drank some of his beer.)
House: I don’t keep your usual beverage; just whatever gets me drunk the quickest.
(Cuddy poured herself a glass of red wine.)
House: So you’re definitely staying over? What about that kid of yours?
Cuddy: She’s fine. I dropped her off at my mom’s before I came here.
House: So toi planned to drop by, this wasn’t a spontaneous act.
Cuddy: You’re hallucinating and you’ve got insomnia. I can’t exactly leave toi alone.
House: Why?
(Cuddy hesitated, whilst House watched her.)
Cuddy: Because…I’m your boss, and toi can’t do a job properly when toi haven’t had a good night’s sleep.
House: I’m sure if toi told everyone else this, they’d believe it. Even Wilson, but you’re here for another reason.
(Cuddy glanced over at House, who was still looking at her.)
Cuddy: That is the only reason.
House: Are toi sure about that?
Cuddy: I know toi don’t need looking after; but I was…I was plus worried because of Wilson and I just wanted to…I wanted to be here, with you.
House: I know.
(House went to get another beer, and instead of sitting on the lone chair he sat on the sofa with Cuddy.)
House: Move.
(Cuddy moved her feet, and House sat down suivant to her.)
Cuddy: Do toi still see her?
House: Who?
Cuddy: Amber.
(House looked around in a mocking way.)
House: toi probably scared her away.
Cuddy: I’m sure.
(Cuddy edged towards House a little more, and gave him a kiss.)
House: What was the reason behind that?
(House and Cuddy looked into each others eye’s before they kissed passionately for the seconde time.)
