Moved and merged a duplicate scene description from unsorted to its proper place in season 6


** While at a speed dating event, Chase makes a bet with House that women aren't as shallow as men and has to act like a stupid, unemployed American jerk the entire night.
-->'''Woman''': I'm a chocolatier.
-->'''Chase''': I can tell by your hips.
*** The best part may be that despite being clearly flustered by the insult, she (a somewhat slender woman) flirtatiously ''agrees with him'', clearly still interested based solely on how attractive he is.

-->'''Woman''':
night.
--->'''Chase:''' I play video games.\\
'''Female speed dater:''' Professionally?\\
'''Chase:''' Pfft. ''[{{beat}}]'' I wish, bro.

--->'''A different female speed dater:'''
I'm a chocolatier.
-->'''Chase''':
chocolatier.\\
'''Chase:'''
I can could tell by your hips.
*** The
hips.[[note]]The best part may be that despite being clearly flustered by the insult, she (a somewhat slender woman) flirtatiously ''agrees with him'', clearly still interested based solely on how attractive he is.[[/note]]



**Another moment from the same speed dating event:
--->'''House:''' I'm a diagnostician.\\
''The woman stares blankly''\\
'''House:''' I find out what's wrong with people and fix it.\\
'''Woman:''' Don't all doctors do that?
** Later on:
--->'''House:''' Little girls kiss frogs and expect them to turn into you.\\
'''Chase:''' I'm not that good-looking.\\
'''House:''' Yeah, you are.\\
'''Wilson:''' You kinda are.
** Chase is complaining about women only valuing him for his looks, and Thirteen deadpans, "Then date men. They're not shallow at all."
** Also, House saying "God, you're pretty" to Chase after Chase correctly deduces something in a Houseian manner.
*** Made even better by the cut to Chase looking absurdly proud of himself. He's apparently realized by now that "God, you're pretty" following a good diagnosis is House-speak for "Great job".



* The speed dating scene: House: 'I'm a diagnostician' the woman stares blankly 'I find out what's wrong with people and fix it' 'Don't all doctors do that?'
** And then Chase's American accent "I play video games."
--->'''Female speed dater:''' Professionally?\\
'''Chase:''' Pfft. ''[{{beat}}]'' I wish, bro.
** And this Chase gem:
--->'''Female speed dater:''' I'm a chocolatier.\\
'''Chase:''' I could tell by your hips.
*** And the way she is so entranced by Chase's beauty that she completely agrees with him.[[note]]In these scenes, Chase is deliberately being a jerk as part of a bet about his dating life being easy because of his good looks[[/note]]
** From the same episode:
--->'''House:''' Little girls kiss frogs and expect them to turn into you.\\
'''Chase:''' I'm not that good-looking.\\
'''House:''' Yeah, you are.\\
'''Wilson:''' You kinda are.
** From later in that episode, when Chase is complaining about women only valuing him for his looks, Thirteen deadpans, "Then date men. They're not shallow at all."
** Also, House to Chase 'God, you're pretty.' after Chase correctly deduces something in a Houseian manner.
*** Made even better by the cut to Chase looking absurdly proud of himself. He's apparently realized by now that "God, you're pretty" following a good diagnosis is House-speak for "Great job".
