I take maybe 1 in 20 cases. A lot of the people I turn down, end up dying. It's really a good argument for there being more than one me when you think about it.

In this episode: Gregory House (3), Robert Chase (2), Allison Cameron (2), Patient (2), Eric Foreman (1), Chris Taub (1)
You had a conversation with House, you came back, informed me I'd been forever poisoned by him, and started packing.
Interesting how your story leaves out the part where you murdered another human being.
[Looking at complaints filed against House] Damn it, they're all named Lisa Cuddy.
He's not even here and he's screwing with us. Where's the joy in that?
...You really want to get into his head?
Yeah, but I decided against stabbing myself in the leg, or getting addicted to pain pills.
You can, uh, skip the stabbing. [pulls out a bottle of pain pills]
Come on, take the drug holiday. Numb yourself out.
I think you're the one who wants to numb himself out.
I like being alone. At least, I convince myself that I'm better off that way. And then I met someone at a psychiatric hospital of all places. She changed me. And then she left. We're better off alone. We suffer alone. We die alone. Doesn't matter if you're a model husband, or father of the year. Tomorrow will be the same for you.
But yesterday would have been different.
I still don't know why I said that. It's not even true. I did love you. Just... not in a way that would have ever worked.
Why not?
Because everything you said is true. I'm a mess. I married a man I knew was dying. So... God knows how screwed up I already was. Him dying messed me up even more. I pushed you out of my life. And I'm-I'm un-unfixable. Not you.
