050. Diagnosis

[vicodincrutch]

Handcuffs made a comeback. Why wasn't I in on that? Better luck next time.

One date. Hm. Maybe for next week? How do you feel about Cone Heads? Maybe Tommy Boy. As far as partically crappy food goes, I like a good sub. I doubt any of the places have Jersey or New York culinary training. I guess that will add to the sup par.

One prescription for Tony Foster. You'll get the other one when the morphine is out. You want a quick fix hit up some drug store. I've got a system. Take it or leave it and risk over medicating.

Private to Morn;
One appointment. Paging Debbie Downer... you're up.
End;

Eden, why are you talking to Dr. Apu? We need to have a talk. One more thing, where the hell is the peanut butter.

Thanks.

Are you sure the Fonz is a real guy?

I told him that blood has memory. That I can sense it. And we talked about me fam.

[Starts the main x-ray camera up at about head level slowly rolling it, it's expensive machinery right? And there is the head shot that he'll gloat about privately later.]

Maybe you should. I think it could make your life better. As far as attitude in a few places. I don't think it helps mumbling.

Since when was Apu a doctor?

[Frowns at the machine as it passes by her head]

What are you doing?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Sure.

Of course I'm sure. He's a household legend, how many people get the in front of their name besides the Dali Lama and you know that man is real.

If you two are such friends why is he asking me about you?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

He's not. Turns out Apu is his first name. The last name is Suresh.

Moving the x-ray. What's it look like?

[Keeps rolling until the camera settles up above her pelvis.]

[eiremagic]

...if you say so.

Because everybody lies. I wanted someone to back me up.

[dirigente.livejournal.com]

We're talking about Apu from The Simpsons, right? Wasn't it something like Nahapee something?

[She's not happy with the primitive machines he's using, but you take what you can get.]

I wouldn't have asked if I knew.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Yes and no. The guy reminds me of Apu from The Simpsons. I Nahapee sounds familiar.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I do.

Ha ha. There is a reason why people lie. That's to hide things because not everyone is trustworthy or worth talking to. The trick is to tell the truth when the truth is needed. I'm not your Daddy Warbucks and I never will be. I will say that you like smart ass older men. Be aware of that.

[eiremagic]

Did I ask you to be?

I'm not looking for a date.

[Real x-rays now. It doesn't take that long for primitive machines.]

X-rays will now be processes.

[Rolls it back into place with a little less care. It's off.]

Diagnosis was so far your "attack" [and he does the finger quotations] was a rape which I think you should be able to say because you have enough brains to seek treatment after, be proud of yourself for your own practicality. Thus far there is exterior and interior damage, nothing catastrophic or beyond repair on sight.

[dirigente.livejournal.com]

Not the real Apu then?

At least other people here know about The Simpsons. I was thinking I stepped into some kind of twilight zone where nobody ever watched TV.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Nope. And this is a preemptive strike.

Good because I think that you both couldn't talk well face to face. Especially if he has an accent.

[eiremagic]

His accent is mild compared to mine.

[nogoldbikinis.livejournal.com]

Not particularly. Maybe when I'm old enough to be married to a bald man.

[She sits up again, not wanting to be in such a vulnerable position any longer than she has to and gives him a hostile look.]

It's a stupid word. It doesn't matter what the weapon is, it's still an attack.

[Yes, there's no small bit of anger in the way she pulls the sheet up around herself]

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Not the real Apu. I'll give you an orange for asking him where the nearest Kwik-E-Mart is.

Welcome to Hell, kid. It's all down hill from here on out.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Oh good. You can go to ESL together.

Why do you want him to believe you?

[dirigente.livejournal.com]

Would he get the reference?

This place isn't so bad. I've been through worse.

[eiremagic]

.....

Because I like it when people take me seriously.

[House sits and hooks his cane on the nearest counter top.]

Specifics are stupid? That's a new one. Given the circumstances you should talk to someone.

[Purposely nonspecific.]

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I think he would. One orange. Think about it.

Wait until you turn into a girl.
