Don: I don’t really care about my job. I do it well. I provide a service. But my goal was always to make enough money to do the things I really like. Music. Travel.

Cuddy: I like those things too.

Don: You like them but they’re not really important to you. I don’t know whether it’s House, your job or if you just thrive on conflict but… You should hear yourself when you’re talking to him. Nothing else in the world’s going on. You’re focused, confident, compelling. Don’t… don’t take this the wrong way, but I’d like to go out with that woman.

My fanwank? It is her job. It's House, who's a part of her job and who she really does enjoy playing with. And it's conflict, because she does thrive on conflict. Cuddy yelling at House is Cuddy at her awesome best, and Don won't get to date that woman if he drags her away from work to travel (although a vacation once in a while would be nice. on a tangent, Cuddy would be a horrible person to go on a vacation with. she would be checking her mail every five seconds, and always on the phone, and thinking about the hospital even when she's *not* on the phone). She will always love her job best. And if the writers were trying to say something else, LALALALA I'M NOT LISTENING!!!

Also, Cuddy looked really hot in this episode. Look! Screencaps!
