House M.D., season one, episode nine, 26:05
I know that limp. I know the empty ring finger. And that obsessive nature of yours — That’s a big secret. You don’t risk jail and your career to save somebody who doesn’t want to be saved… unless you got something —anything— one thing.
The reason normal people got wives and kids and hobbies —whatever— That’s because they ain’t got that one thing that— that hits ‘em that hard and that true. I got music. You got this— the thing you think about all the time, thing that keeps you south of normal. Yeah. Makes us great. Makes us the best.
All we miss out on is everything else. No woman waiting at home after work with the drink and the kiss. That ain’t gonna happen for us.
House M.D, season one, episode nine, 26:05, House talking to John Henry Giles. Don’t miss out on this series. Unfortunately I can’t show you any clips, since Fox scours YouTube for any sign of TV material — unaware of the fact that it would actually increase their market share.
