That's not what I meant and you know it.

[He still doesn't mind the jerk behaviour, House's grumpiness at least meaning he's alive.]

I just mean you're not as bad as you want everyone to think you are.

[Still pretty bad, still really nasty on occasion.]

i'm competitive by nature, lelly
keep telling me i'm not that bad
i gotta prove you wrong

[armoured]

Then maybe I should start saying how I don't believe it's possible for you to be nice, and maybe you'll prove me wrong that way.

[rubikscomplex]

no, see, then?
you're finally just getting it

[You can't win, Al.]

[armoured]

You're not competitive at all, then, are you? You just don't want people to think you're nice, there's a difference.

[rubikscomplex]

why be competitive when you're admitting defeat?

[armoured]

I'm not admitting defeat, I know there's decency under there. I've seen it.

[rubikscomplex]

you see what you want to see
we call that confirmation bias

[armoured]

You sacrificed your life trying to help me when I was losing the fight, you can't tell me there's no decency in you.

self-preservation
as soon as he was done with you
he'd be coming after me

and i was trying really hard not to die
just fyi

[armoured]

I'm sorry, Dr. House, but you're not going to convince me that you're all bad. And I'm going to keep worrying about you, and checking on you if I don't see you around. So you'll just have to live with some people here not thinking you're a total jerk.

i live with that horror every day

bye, lelly
