Scene 1

The usually quiet morning was shattered by noises, startling House and his roommate, Alvie, from their slumber. It was cold in the room.

House: What in the world...?

Alvie: Did the heating die again, or are we just auditioning for the next ice age?

House: (amused) Looks like the puppet master is losing his strings.

Alvie, distracted by a different aspect, made a beeline for the window, pressing his face against the cold glass.

Alvie: (happily) Snow! It's actually snowing.

Everywhere he looked, a thick blanket of snow covered the ground.

House joined Alvie at the window, his gaze following the snowflakes.

House: Well, it's not every day you get to see a snowstorm from the cozy confines of a psychiatric hospital.
