Great, he thought to himself. If this was how his new bright-eyed hopefuls were going to do their jobs, he'd be stuck with Foreman--just Foreman--until he could find slightly less moronic bright-eyed hopefuls. At least Foreman wasn't a moron. About most things. He really wouldn't have hired him in the first place if he didn't have the brains, but, Jesus, it was either someone with brains who, aside from direct orders, fought every single thing he said, or a bunch of puppets who were afraid to think for themselves. He'd rather Foreman, if those were his choices, because at least Foreman thought, and House needed the challenge. Foreman usually supplied, although it would be really fucking nice once in a while--when he was right, for instance--if Foreman shut it, watched and learned from the master. But, he reminded himself again, at least Foreman thought, even if there was only room enough for one enormous ego in the department. His.
In the elevator, House noticed CB glaring down Foreman before she turned her eyes to him. No shirking from him. He even smirked, just in hopes of pissing her off, when she spoke. He wasn't about to spout any more compliments about Foreman within his earshot. He'd already slipped up enough. "Nope," he said, falsely cheery. "Only if you quit." He paused. "Actually, probably not even then."
He ignored her, and Foreman, and hoofed it out of the elevator as soon as the doors opened, heading for the patient's room.
