148 DIAGNOSIS

 The circus is in town and Wilson came back. There must be a connection. Because of all the down right gosh golly fantastic excitement can I get a head count? Wombat? Carebear? Lucky Charm?

[He's not going to say please and thank you but he means it.]

In the mean time I have a matter with another Jimmy.

Nobody wants to hear what you're doing with your jimmy, House.

A head count. Your clownery belongs with us.

I just have a natural talent for timing. It's a gift, really.

[Obviously, he doesn't need to specify that he's worrying. Some things go without saying.]

What's going on?

[hexappeal]

Someone didn't get that stuffed animal he wanted from a dart game as a kid, huh?

[comeonecomeall]

You can see the headless man do a headcount.

[vicodincrutch]

I think you do. In detail.

[vicodincrutch]

A terrible one.

I have a patient. Gosh. You're not the only one I ever talk to or think of.

[Typically he is shhhhhh.]

[intheblanks]

If this is an attempt to seduce me you might want to try an alternate tack.

[But okay, he'll bite.]

What do you mean?

[dr_conscience]

That's the problem with gifts. Didn't ask for them.

[Awww it's okay he knows it]

Not actually what I was asking about. You're checking in with everyone.
