So, as promised, transcript of the most brilliant piece of dialogue-writing to date this TV season. From House, 2.05:

The first half proves they're married:

House: You invited my parents to dinner.
Wilson: Jeez, Cameron's got a big mouth.
House: Ha! Not as big as yours.
Wilson: Hey, you used me to avoid seeing your parents.
House: Woah, what do you care?
Wilson: I don't, I just thought it might be interesting to find out why.
House: You could have just asked.
Wilson: You would have lied!
House: And you would have believed me, which would have kept us both happy.

And the second half proves that House is, in fact, the most insecure man in existence:

Wilson: [best bewildered look ever]
House: You want your money back? Is that what this is about?
Wilson: No! Wait....wh....have you got the money?
House: [takes out checkbook]
Wilson: If you have the money then why did you need the loan?
House: I didn't. I just wanted to see if you'd give it to me. I've been borrowing increasing amounts ever since you lent me forty dollars a year ago. Little experiment...see where you draw the line.
Wilson: You're...you're trying to...objectively measure how much I value our friendship?
House: Hey, five grand...you got nothing to be ashamed of. What do you say -- one little phone call, one big check...
Wilson: Fine. Thanks. [takes check] Now, be a grownup and either tell mommy and daddy you don't want to see them, or I'm picking you up at seven for dinner.
House: What do you mean? You just said --
Wilson: I lied. I've been lying to you in increasing amounts ever since I told you you look good unshaved a year ago.

Also, on Jeopardy tonight, the new College Championship semifinalist won my adulation forever when he answered "Started in 2004, the Billboard Magazine top 20 chart for these included My Boo, the theme to Halloween, and Ice Ice Baby" with the question "What are the worst songs in history".

Three Things About CSI, no waiting. :D

1. I've never actually done one in my life before, but I literally did a double take when I saw Nick's horrible pimpstache. I could not believe anyone thought that was a good look for him. He looks like an homage to Starsky and Hutch.

2. Maybe it's just sweeps week incoming fast, but does anyone else remember and miss the days when CSI was actually about science and not jumpy cuts and gun battles?

3. Okay, help me out because I'm bad with faces. Was Madam Collateral Damage the same person as Sofia, or was she some new chick? The accent says "Sofia" but the look says "Three week starvation diet".

3a. Why is everyone picking on Greg? Was there some episode I missed where he, oh, blew up the lab, let a fellow CSI get killed, spilled crime scene data to the press, or was arrested for DUI? What the hell?
