Dr. Chris Taub: Let me rephrase: you have to decide if you're going to buck up and get out of bed and do your job or if you're gonna wallow in self-pity. Dr. Gregory House: Thos are my only two choices? Or can I also point out the self-pity coming from you? You're just annoyed because when your relationship ended, no one gave a crap - including you. |
![]() | Season 7 / Episode 16: - Out of the Chute Martha Masters: He's obviously a... very blessed specimen. So from an evolutionary point of view, he'd produce healthy offspring.
