When was the last time you talked to him?
Uh, I think it was after... when did his girlfriend die? He wanted time alone. I considered being a horrendous pain in the ass, but I didn't want to tred on your turf.
“Dying Changes Everything” · Season 5, Episode 1
In this episode: Gregory House (4), James Wilson (1), Dr. Lisa Cuddy (1), Thirteen (1)
This is Dr. House. He's too brilliant for introductions.
People die! You, Amber, everyone. Don't act like you just figured that out. I gave you a diagnosis. You don’t like it, there are exits on every floor.
Almost dying changes nothing. Dying changes everything.
I don't blame you. I wanted to. I tried to. I must have reviewed Amber's case file 100 times to find a way... but it wasn't your fault.
Then... we're okay? I mean, I know you're not, but... maybe I can help.
We're not okay. Amber was never the reason I was leaving. I didn't want to tell you because... because I was trying, like I always do, to protect you. Which is the problem. You spread misery because you can't feel anything else. You manipulate people because you can't handle any kind of real relationship. And I've enabled it, for years, the games, the binges, the middle of the night phone calls. I should've been the one on the bus, not... you should have been alone on the bus. If I learned anything from Amber it's that I have to take care of myself. We're not friends anymore, House. I'm not sure we ever were.
