"I'm lonely," House whined. "Why don't you come home with me tonight?"

To which Cuddy replied derisively, "Why don't you just hire a hooker like you usually do?"

"Funny you should bring that up," House said, sounding serious rather than amused. "You know, after we're finished, hookers ask me the same thing every time."

Cuddy didn't respond. She was sure he was going to make some lewd reference the size of certain parts of his anatomy, or the use of said parts.

"Every time!" he repeated emphatically.

She really didn't want to hear it, but if it would make him shut up and leave her alone...

"What, House? What do the hookers always ask you?" she asked flatly.

He could tell from her tone of voice that she didn't really care to hear the answer. Knowing her, he assumed that she assumed that he was about to make some crude sexual comment. Well, he hated to disappoint...

" 'Who's Lisa?' "
