Normal is for chumps. You know how to play bridge?

[rehandle]

[ Ah. There goes that uncanny knack for sealing his own fate again. ]

Yeah.

[unorthodoc]

Great. Bring Jim over tomorrow night. I'll make dinner. You like pizza, right?

[rehandle]

Tomorrow.

[unorthodoc]

The one that traditionally follows today.

[rehandle]

Right. Perfect. I was looking for a reason to immediately antagonize him.

The pizza better be good.

[unorthodoc]

That depends. You're not allergic to bananas, right?

[rehandle]

[ This is what he gets for killing god ]

I'll let you know when I know if you should expect one or two.

[unorthodoc]

[ He gets an hour. ]

Well?

[rehandle]

Two.

I'm having the worst conversation of my life.

[unorthodoc]

Tell him he can pet the rabbit.

[ Additionally: ]

I'm going to the castle to see if they'll let me take Zlatka's temperature. I'm packing my extra long thermometer. If I need you for a consult, can I beep you?

[rehandle]

[ What a nice, serious topic shift. He's exceedingly grateful. ]

Of course. Beep me if you need anything else, too.

[ A sorcerer, for example, if he's met with a not so warm welcome. ]

Be careful.

[unorthodoc]

[ Save that gratitude for the point in time when Stephen will arrive at the cabin and witness the jar containing House's heart being used as a centerpiece on the table. ]

I'm always careful.

[rehandle]

Okay. Pigs probably do fly here.

[unorthodoc]

Quite a tone to take with your murder victim.

[ Is this a glimpse of Stephen's future? Yes. ]

[rehandle]

Proof if anything of a not insignificant investment in your life and/or lack thereof.

[ New heart, new he. ]
