"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

House would kill him after about 5 minutes.

Dana, are you sure about that? Jane is pretty hardcore. I think I'd bet on Jane.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Jane doesn't go straight to violence. House would. Especially when trapped in an elevator.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm not 100% convinced that it would come down to a physical confrontation, but if it does, House definitely wins. He's the one with the weapon, upper body strength, scientific knowledge of precisely where to hit. If he's willing to use the cane against a friend who thwarts his will, think what he would do when faced with another man with some of the same superiority complex, who is as willing as House is to irritate the hell out of people by laying open their hidden motivations. Yeah, House loves to do that himself, but he has zero desire to be flayed in the same way. House's need for dominance is more overt than Jane's. And Jane's survival in a small enclosed space for any length of time with no one but House for company depends mostly on his recognizing that he could provoke House too far before it is too late, and also having his sense of self-preservation operational at the moment he makes the choice.

And if it's just a matter of how deep the liquid content from the pissing contest gets, House wins because he's taller, and Jane will drown while he's just standing on his tip-toes in it.

However, if Jane was convinced that House was Red John, I wouldn't give House a chance.

Which would be a fairly awesome crossover.

On the other hand, what if Jane had his Red John files with him, and after recognizing House's intellectual capacity for solving insoluble puzzles, asked him to take a look?

I haven't watched House in 2-3 seasons. Has he become (more) violent?

Well, he's kind of nuts at the moment.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Well, he's kind of nuts at the moment.

Um, doesn't that kind of sum up the entire series?

He was better for a while.
