[ It's how she rolls, man. ]

I'll try.

[ At least it's something? ]

[rubikscomplex]

as the great philosopher yoda once said:
"do. or do not. there is no try."

[ninjainviolet]

Then why did you ask me to "try" to avoid doing it?

[ At least she had agreed to that. ]

[rubikscomplex]

turn of phrase
it means don't do it again where i'm from, poindexter

[ninjainviolet]

[ She chuckles. ]

Yeah...it kinda means the same thing where I'm from, too. I just have a hard time making those kinds of promises.

So..."try" is seriously the best I can do.

[ She's being sincere, House. ]

[rubikscomplex]

whatever
it's your life
and waste of time

[ninjainviolet]

[ Says the man who provokes people into killing him. ]

If it saves people, how is it a waste of time?

[rubikscomplex]

depending on who the people are
you might be more valuable

[ninjainviolet]

That's kind of a cold-hearted point of view for a doctor to have, isn't it?

[rubikscomplex]

i have three patients dying from bullet wounds
one firefighter
one waitress
one rando homeless guy
i only have the time and resources to assist one
they all have an equal chance of survival
i'm saving the firefighter

that's basic logic
and i'm sorry
did i ever give you the impression i was anything apart from a cold-hearted bastard?

[ninjainviolet]

But where are you putting your life on the line for them? Wasn't that the topic of the conversation?

[ So not going for the bait, Doc. ]

[rubikscomplex]

equivalency
you wanna play it that way, okay
you have the chance to jump in front of the bullet for one of those people
which one do you choose?

[ninjainviolet]

[ What other way is there to play? ]

The one I can get to first, and attempt to get the other two out of the way by throwing something at them.

[ She might fail, but she was still going to try to save all of them. ]

[rubikscomplex]

[House just shakes his head.]

forget it
when the chips are down
i know what any sane person would choose
all other things being equal
later
