Testimonials

Because there are so many potential employees, I'm hoping that many of them get weeded out quickly. Looking around the room, no one looks too interesting, and then, bam: our old friend Taj from Van Wilder, or perhaps known better as Harold or Kumar (never saw it), also known as Kal Penn. Thank God he's around to fulfill the ethnic quota. Make that two(? are there more?) Fox shows (24) that he's successfully done so in. But I digress.

What ever happened to Harold, anyway?

House is interrupted by Cuddy, though, and she's looking great again. She asks if he's forgotten how to count to three, since I'm guessing there are slightly more than three people in the "interview." They have a discussion about how he's only going to arbitrarily weed out candidates, and he agrees, and arbitrarily weeds out candidates. He fires row D, sees a hot chick, so changes his mind and fires row C. He says he'd love to continue the conversation with Cuddy, and I would love for her to stay on camera, but he's being paged, interestingly enough, by himself. Sidenote: remember when pagers were cool? And, now, the only profession where they won't make you look like a turd is a doctor. Unless of course you don't want people to call you or have your phone number. So, maybe if you're on the run from the Feds (or an aggressive bookie) you could also be considered cool. Anyways, again I digress.

House goes to his office and inside is woman pilot. She unloads some money out of an envelope onto his desk, and I assume she's going to offer him a lot of money for sexual favors. Was that not what she was going for? Apparently, no it wasn't. It's for her medical bills, and everything needs to be done under the table. It turns out she's training to become an astronaut. The NASA doctors could make her better, but they would pass her over for someone who's actually healthy. So House asks what's in it for him. She tells him that she hears with her eyes, and that sold him.

All this will be yours AFTER you do the pratfall from 101 Dalmations.

House goes back to the classroom, and he doesn't care what they have to say about Aluminum Man. Or Tin Man sick from aluminum. He tells them there's a new patient suffering from synesthesia. Also, they are to leave any notes, records or anything of the work they've done on this patient. He tells them to consider the patient Osama Bin Laden, and anyone not in the room is in Delta Force. Wheelchair doctor asks if they're treating Osama Bin Laden, and House says "It's a metaphor. Get used to it." Seriously dude, this must be a case of book-smart but not common sense-smart. Or understands-metaphors-smart. Or maybe he's not even book-smart and he's just a shitty doctor. Or he's just some dude who found a lab coat and rolled on into that class.

House brings woman pilot into the room, and she answers their questions. House picks three people to find out what's wrong with her. The first two don't get anywhere, and the third, who we'll call cute brunette doctor with eyes possibly too far apart, asks if the woman spends much time above 20,000 feet. She follows it up with a question about the mile-high club, and I don't even know what that means. But I bet it's got quite the members benefits. If you consider sex a benefit. And I do. Well, she actually does spend time above 20,000 feet, so we have a lead. House directs 3 doctors to go run some tests on her. Then he asks who thinks Oswald acted alone. It's our boy Kal who raises his hand and asks a question, getting a "Shut up" back from House. Oh Taj! When will you ever get laid!?
