Does anybody know what song was playing at the very end of the episode? I can't find it by googling the lyrics that were heard at the end of the episode, and I can't find the credits for the episode either. -69.0.38.84

Anyone know what the Latin engraving on the wall above the entrance means? We get a second or so at the end to see "OMNES TE MORIT*RUM AMANT" - one letter is obscured. Could be "All those who will die love you" or "All of you who will die they love?" Latin, anyone?Szetlan (talk) 02:38, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

The missing letter is 99% a vowel. Searched Google and A,E,I,O,V are all candidates (with the least probable being E and I). Then I started searching Google with all vowel combinations, and found this:

OMNES TE MORITVRVM AMANT == Everyone loves you on your deathbed

...then found out it's about this same episode :-) see http://thecampvs.com/?m=20100412 74.198.104.176 (talk) 16:01, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

"Deathbed" is a purely poetic (i.e. non-literal) translation. Moriturum is the future active participle of morire; thus, (with te), "you who are about to die".

In context, it makes sense to render the participle with temporal force: "you, when you are about to die".

Omnes te amant is straightforward. Nominative plural subject, and present 3rd person plural verb. "Everyone loves you."

All together then, "Everyone loves you when you are about to die."

For the article, "On your deathbed, everyone loves you." is perfectly acceptable.

In a previous episode (Season 2, Episode 2 - Autopsy), House has this quote: "You're dying, and suddenly everybody loves you." That sounds extremely similar to the translations of the Latin phrase. Any thoughts?

Can you really be considered a "guest star" if your name is in the opening credits intro? Jennifer Morrison (as Allison Cameron) is listed there, and that seems incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.154.82 (talk) 06:51, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
