"So, what do আপনি think I should serve for বড়দিন dinner? Turkey? Ham?" Wilson asked House as they walked through the Whole Foods.
"Why not both? The আরো left overs, the আরো I get to relieve আপনি of."
Wilson rolled his eyes and picked up a bag of croissants.
"Anyway, you're Jewish আপনি can't eat ham."
"I'm Jewish but not orthodox. You've seen me eat bacon."
"You're mother must be rolling over in her grave."
"My mother's not dead, House."
"It's an expression, Wilson. No one ever ব্যক্ত it had to make sense." House replied as he placed a few cans of ক্র্যানবেরি sauce into the cart.
"Hey, here's a thought. Why not for once আপনি actually প্রদর্শনী up for the ডিনার itself instead of five hours later."
"I don't do বড়দিন parties."
"What are আপনি the Fonz? Come to the party."
"I'd rather just go drinking with আপনি at midnight. It's our tradition, Wilson. আপনি wouldn't want to break tradition." House ব্যক্ত with mock sincerity.
"You don't want to come because that would mean having to be somewhat social and we can't have that. Hey, grab that bottle of cooking sherry."
House placed the শেরি into the cart.
"I can be social. Hell, our little bet proved I can even be nice."
"So, then there is no reason why আপনি can't attend." Wilson ব্যক্ত with a ভিক্টোরিয়াস smile.
"Just because I can be nice doesn't mean I want to. Anyway, what's in it for me?"
"Oh, I don't know. Free food. Free booze..."
"But I'll get that anyway when I raid your fridge," House stated as he picked up a can of Pringles and threw it in the cart.
"Cuddy will be there."
House stopped to rub his leg a bit before responding.
"Then I definitely won't be there." He ব্যক্ত as he walked down the toiletrie isle.
Wilson pushed his কার্ট down the same isle.
"What happened now?"
"Nothing."
"House, come on. What happened?"
"I went to her প্রথমপাতা to see her...to give her some diapers..."
"That was nice of you..."
"I told her that the woman she saw was infact who she thought she was."
Wilson just stared blankly at House.
"Well, don't আপনি have anything to say?"
"I'm processing."
"Hurry up already. I need some of your patented psycho-analysis."
Wilson picked up a pack of razors and placed them in his cart.
"You wanted to be honest with her. আপনি wanted her to know that আপনি are still a flawed man who doesn't always think before he acts."
"So, আপনি think I did the right thing."
"Yes and no. Tell me, how did she respond?"
"At first she ব্যক্ত she was a little put off দ্বারা it, which in woman speak means she was pissed, but then she ব্যক্ত exactly what I told you, that I owe her no explanation because we're not together."
"Sounds like a rationalization to me."
"But it's not. We aren't a couple, Wilson."
Ignoring House's statement, Wilson pushed the কার্ট to the side and stood in front of his friend.
"How did the conversation end?"
"Why?"
"Because I'm betting আপনি wouldn't be this doubtful of the situation if the conversation ended well."
"She asked me to leave."
"You're going to have to fix this, House."
"I brought the diapers..."
"More than that. Look, she's coming to the party under the condition that আপনি not be there. But I think if আপনি happened to crash the event and..."
"This plot is so hackeneyed I've seen it used on General Hospital five times already."
"It's an old standby. Just come. Bring her a present and really make it a fun night for her and the baby."
"She's bringing the munchkin?"
"I thought it would be nice."
"I don't know how to entertain a baby."
"Oh, please. I've seen আপনি with infants, toddlers and little kids. আপনি are great with kids. আপনি treat them like little people and never dumb things down to them, but আপনি also know how to charm them too. আপনি are always you're best with kids. Adults on the other hand."
House shook his head.
"God, Wilson shut up. I'll consider going."
"Well, that's a start. Just don't get her any present that involves crotchless panties অথবা edible underwear. And no monster truck tickets, laser tag coupons, অথবা free passes into strip clubs..."
"So, I get her nothing then?" House ব্যক্ত with a wide grin.
"Get her something she'll like. আপনি did great with the desk..."
"I know I did." He ব্যক্ত sadly.
"I have faith that you'll do something else that she'll love."
House rolled his eyes.
"You're such a cornball romantic, Wilson."
"I have been married three times. If that's not romance..."
"It's not so much romance as it is unrelenting stupidity."
Wilson sighed in exasperation.
"Let's check out before আপনি have me buying everything in the store.
