This is a popular new treatment? Blackmail?

{If this were "Peanuts," House would be Lucy right about now. However, it's just a case of House needing to pay a bill in preferably non-traceable cash. What? That's totally normal.}

[yeah, he doesn't exactly know what a pawn shop is, but he can infer what one is.] I'm sure.

Not that I think you can help me, you being a human doctor and all, but you've got me curious. Is this the typical medical practice on Earth? Selling your services like this?

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Not really at all. But I need quick cash, and this is easy. Work smart, not hard.

You're really not making a good name for your species, you realise.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

If aliens are using me as an example for the human race in the first place, you guys are idiots. Just sayin'.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

No, we're well acquainted with your species. Really, you're not adding to the opinion the rest of the universe already holds regarding the humans.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Then why lecture me on it if it's inconsequential to the universal opinion of human beings?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

Short answer? [very smugly] Because you humans could do with a more positive image in the universe.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Don't care.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

A doctor who doesn't care. Now that's a new one.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

They're more common than you'd think.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

Then why become a doctor at all?

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

It's what a friend of mine somewhat affectionately calls a Rubick's complex.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

And what, pray tell, is a Rubick's complex?

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Ever heard of a Rubick's cube?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

No, I have not.

Then this conversation sucks. I don't want to have to explain all of my pop culture references.

[rolls his eyes] What year then? I'll look it up myself.
