Hmmmm..not too deep. No stitches.

What about rabies?

From a bunny?

Rabbits can have rabies.

Bunnies at a petting zoo do not carry rabies.

They could.

If they did, all four year olds would be rabid. Hmmm… maybe you’re on to something there.

Are you done wrapping it?

Almost. Why did Cujo bite you?

I don't know, I was just stroking his ears.

Should have petted the goats instead.

They always try to eat my shirt.

Like I said, you should have petted the goats.

Very funny, House.

All done. Can we leave the kiddie area now and go on the rides?

I want to go home.

No way, I’m not leaving until I ride every rickety death trap at this carnival. And eaten every fried thing that’s not supposed to be fried.

Fine. But no upside-down rides.

You feeling sick?

I just don’t want fried Oreo vomit all over my car.

Fine. How about bumper cars?

Okay, go buy us tickets.

Why should I buy your tickets?

I'm injured.

It's a bunny bite!

Fine, I'll just wave at you from the sidelines with my injured finger.

It’s your middle finger.

Yep.

I'll go by the tickets, Dr. Doolittle.

OMG! I love this. Your dialogue is always spot-on and IC. And my favorite summer fics are always House and Wilson going to carnivals.

I can defintely see Wilson being concerned over a rabbit bite and the potential for rabies, and House waving it off. I also can imagine House wanting to ride all of the rides, and Wilson worrying about the cleanliness of his car.

Yep.

I'll go by the tickets, Dr. Doolittle.

Perfect ending, complete with a movie reference. :D

I used to love Dr. Doolittle (the Rex Harrison one, not Eddie Murphy). I think House throws in movie references from time to time because he loves pop culture and it amuses Wilson.

I am pleased you liked the drabble.

I definitely think that House loves pop culture references and uses them to amuse Wilson. Case and point, this quote from "Needle in a Haystack," courtesy of clinic_duty:

Wilson: Ah yes, if it isn’t Dr. Ironside.

House: (removing gloves) Ah, if it isn’t Dr. I-Had-No-Friends-When-I-Was-Growing-Up-So-All-I-Did-Was-Watch-TV-By-Myself-Which-Is-Why-I-Can-Now-Make-Constant-Pop-Culture-References-Which-No-One-Understands-But-Me.

Wilson: That’s my name. Don’t wear it out.

I loved that exchange. Thanks for reminding me of it. They did so many older pop culture references in the show that I am sure anyone under 30 missed half of them.
