[House is about to be pleasantly surprised. Or maybe not, once he puts the pieces together. The caring thing is still playing a heavy factor here.]
Actually, contacting you because I haven't found anymore. I need some--about a week's worth if I can help it. Dosage should be high enough that I can space them out, so maybe...two? Three pills total? I can compensate you, however you want me to.
unless you've got a bottle of morphine or some heroin lying around you don't have anything that could compensate me for that you've seen my chart doctor don't waste my time or yours
[He means the medical record. You know, Clayton? The one that said he has a narcotics addiction.]
I'm not calling the admin when I have safer options available. Rhys does not need MN poisoning on top of broken ribs.
Please, House. I just have to manage his pain for long enough that he can start healing. I'm not asking for much. Is there anything at all I can do to convince you? Information? Favors? Promises? Fetch quests?
[There's a lot to be gained here. A reasonable man would take it. An unreasonable man would take it and twist it to squeeze Clayton for everything he can. Unfortunately, House is an addict, which trumps either of those things.]
we were back home with a real pharmacy i could rely on i'd get you a bottle i can't trust that pharmacy's going to keep spitting out prescriptions, though i've gone through the start of detox before i sure as hell don't want to go through that here i'm rationing these things
we've all got mn poisoning let the spiders take care of it it'll be faster and i won't have to tell you no again everybody wins
[Don't get frustrated. Try to reason with him. Keep throwing out tidbits until something sticks. Something has to stick...]
I never told you about what my powers really are, did I? I could help you. Give me a few pills now, and when I get my abilities back, I can help you get over the narcotics fix for good.
you know the spaghetti principle doesn't work as well when you're throwing the noodles at someone rather than at a wall, right?
again i don't work on iou's the pills aren't the problem and i've got no reason to trust you, anyway you'll say anything to get what you want if you think you're helping someone
I am helping him. This might be the best help we can give him. We're talking about months of suffering if he contracts pneumonia, and if the Admin tries giving him shots and he has an allergic reaction to them like last time, he could hurt himself even worse. I recognize that you're trying to treat your own pain, but it's two pills, House. Your pain isn't going to kill you, Rhys's pain likely will. Please. I'll do literally anything you want. We don't have to do IOUs.
ask me for anything else i've picked up for my med kit, it's yours not that i'm hanging up now call the admin he'll be fine or he'll die and we can see what happens when you've got twinsies in the funeral home

You found that second bottle of Vicodin, right? Said you had most of the last bottle still left? How's that holding up?

[He's assuming this is you saying you found more and not just doing that incredibly irritating caring minus anything useful thing.]
