Name that Episode - Guessing Game

Here is a tavern activity. All that means is that this game is much more interesting after throwing back a few lagers ;)!

I have posted a few lines of dialogue from a few episodes, and from that you have to guess the correct episode. If you guess correctly, you get to post the next bit of dialogue.

So that as many people who want to can play, I am putting three exchanges below, with varying levels of difficulty. Feel free to guess any of them (try to resist using a Google search if you can). If you need another bit of dialogue, just ask and I'll add on. And if you are sure of your guess, no need to wait for my confirmation, just post your own bit of dialogue for others to guess. And even if you don't want to guess, feel free to post dialogue in the comments section for others.

You can find transcripts at

clinic_duty with the indexed archive here. And since this is Sick!WIlson, give yourself an extra lager if you chose an episode where Wilson is sick (he is almost always stressed, so that shouldn't be too hard).

Episode 1: (easy)

WILSON: How depressed are you?!

HOUSE: I'm not depressed.

WILSON: You faked... cancer.

HOUSE: It was an outpatient procedure. I was curious.

WILSON: Are you curious about heroin?

HOUSE: Not since last year's Christmas party

Episode 2: (medium)

WILSON: It’s a simple question. Has your life sucked? Tell her the truth. Tell her you were shot. Tell her...

HOUSE: She doesn't wanna hear the truth. She's looking for something. Looking to extrapolate something...

WILSON: She's looking to connect with you, and that's what's scaring the hell out of you. Tell her the truth.

HOUSE: There is no truth.

WILSON: [thinks] Are we role-playing? Am I you? I don't wanna be you.

Epsiode 3: (hard)

WILSON: I am in charge of our relationship.

HOUSE: It was a surgery. You were the surgeon. In that setting...

WILSON: You would pick up my laundry if I asked you to.

HOUSE: Go ahead, ask.

WILSON: Oh, I wouldn't do that to you.

1) Half-Wit
2) One Day One Room
3) Mirror Mirror - IMO that bit of playful dialogue is really chilling. It foreshadows Wilson's Heart. :(

You're right, it kind of does. Wilson asked and House complied.

Good job guessing - you got all three!

Got all three? Cool! *Hoists tankard* Had my doubts about ODOR.

HOUSE: I usually like to give the lethal blood to Foreman, but I'm the only one who's type AB.

WILSON: Of course, you're type AB. Universal recipient, you take from everybody.

HOUSE: Of course, you're type O. Universal donor. No wonder you're paying three alimonies.

WILSON: How do you know... What blood type I am?

HOUSE: [Shrugs.] I don't. Just seemed to fit the metaphor.

WILSON: No, no, no, no, no. Did you test my blood for something? Why would you test my blood for something?

HOUSE: I didn't. You must have told me what you were.

WILSON: Who the hell chats about their blood type? You had to have tested me.

HOUSE: [Epiphany.] There's no reason to ask anyone their blood type.

WILSON: You're about to run out of here, aren't you?

It's the one with the magician and when Thirteen ties House down and has her way with him :)

Looks it up... You Don't Want to Know

Personally I think its more likely that House has Wilson's entire medical history memorised from childhood to now rather than having secretly tested his blood but you never know...

You are correct! :)

lol. It's definitely a plot bunny worth pursuing. But wasn't there an early episode where House had hid in a clinic exam room, leafing through Wilson's file, prompting the limping twerp speech? Um, Histories? *runs off to clinic_duty*

Yep, here it is:
Wilson: Yeah, delirious. What’s the other file?

House: Wilson, James. Boy wonder oncologist. You know him?

Wilson: You know, in some cultures, it’s considered almost rude for one friend to spy on another. Of course, in Swedish, the word friend can also be translated as ‘limping twerp’.

[House’s pager starts to beep]

Wilson: Did your pager really just go off, or are you ditching the conversation?

House: Why can’t both be true? Come on.

***
I always figured that's when House discovered Wilson's blood type.

Good point! You'd think Wilson would have remembered that ;)

Mind you Wilson might be like me and never had a blood test so he knows House had to have stolen his blood... (I don't know if that's plausible in the States)

My belief is that it's both things - House has memorized Wilson's medical file and he took Wilson's blood for testing. :)

It's not plausible that a doctor would never have had a blood test. And I agree with deelaundry ... House is thorough :)

I remember high school biology class, we did a rudimentary blood typing on ourselves; I can't imagine Wilson not…wait a minute…in "Wilson" we find out he gave blood to Tucker when he was Wilson's patient the first time, which must pre-date "You Don't Want to Know", Wilson would have to know what type he was in order to be able to offer to donate to Tucker…it would have been typed when he donated, and it would have gone in his chart. Plus I can see Wilson as the type who would give blood on a regular basis.

Thirding Dee's point.

Huh. I always thought that was a personnel file. Though why Foreman's would note that his parents have been married for 40 years is beyond me.

House probably has a detailed employee questionnaire with all sorts of questions about their early life and family to save him having to snoop around and find it out later :)

Hadn't thought about that. He probably obtained both... along with Wilson's DNA.

I feel bad that I forgot about this episode for the episode tournament so I'm going to give it a run here :)

House: I'm not saying you're not in pain.

Wilson: You're saying my pain's a cliché.

House: I'm saying that pain fades.

Wilson: Did yours?

House: Physical pain is different.

Wilson: I'd rather have my leg chopped off.

House: Well, you don't know that 'cause you haven't felt —

Wilson: Neither have you.

Is it from Dying Changes Everything?

Sure is! I don't know how I forgot that one when I was thinking of angsty Wilson episodes for the Tournament...

Now that you mention it, I think there were more Sick-ish!Wilson episodes than I'd thought. For e.g., you could argue for "Birthmarks," too. Wilson was handcuffed and frisked (!), then had his emotional breakdown/bottle hurl at the funeral.

Since we seem to have come to a standstill, I'm going to jump in:

Wilson: What are his symptoms?

House: He is NOT a saint. He figures out what's going on in people's lives by watching, listening, deducing--

Wilson: You're worried about trademark infringement?

House vs. God?

Edited 2014-10-29 18:44 (UTC)

Yes!

And yes.

Surely we're not done yet? How about:

House: No, I have seen every scary movie ever made. Six-year-old twins in front of an elevator of blood, boys’ choirs: those are bad omens. This is much more mundane: a billionaire wants to get laid.

Wilson: Billionaires buy movie studios to get laid. They buy hospitals to get respect.

House: And the reason you want respect?

Wilson: To… get laid.

I'm guessing it's one of the Vogler episodes - possibly the first one? Which would be um... Control?

You got it! :)

Lucky guess :) Although I think House has Vogler's motivation wrong here....

Are you thinking Vogler might be motivated by unresolved conflict with his father? It's interesting that Wilson didn't refute House's assumption.

His father definitely and the fact that he owns a pharmaceutical company - I think there are mentions of using the patients to run clinical trials? And he tries to use House to boost up his own product (although - really, that was one of the most monumentally stupid plans of all time - by this time he'd seen enough of House he should have known that wouldn't work).

I think this episode title is a sum up of what Vogler is all about - he likes to control.

I mean, he might well have wanted to get laid as well (and I'm sure he craves respect) but I don't think that was his primary motivation.

Right, Vogler's pharmaceutical company. How could I forget that?

Wilson: Busy right now.

House: Is he dying?

Wilson: Yeah.

House: In the next ten minutes?

Wilson: Unfortunately, no. He’s in a lot of pain.

House: I’ve thought about it. You’re right. I should go to the conference.

Known Unknowns

Yes! - I'm looking forward to that one coming up on Rewind.

House: Oh, here we go. Lesson time. I recognize that confidence is not my short suit. I also recognize that I am human and capable of error.

Wilson: So you might have screwed this up?

House: No.

Wilson: So, it’s only a theoretical capacity for error.

House: Good point. Maybe there isn’t one. Maybe that’s my error.

Wilson: You know, most people who think as much of themselves as you do like to talk about themselves.

House: Most people don’t like to listen, so what’s wrong with you?

Is it the one with the nun? "Damned if You Do"?

Yes, 'Damned If You Do.'

Random off-topic trivia question: Which episode caused physical suffering to the ACTOR who plays Wilson? Specifically, to his nose?

Oh, I know this. The S7 one where Wilson inherits Sarah. Can't remember the name ...
