House M.D.2004

Dr. Gregory House:
[patient refusing treatment after finding out she contributed to her baby's death] She said no.

Dr. Eric Foreman:
So we get her declared unstable, appoint a medical proxy.

Dr. Gregory House:
She was unstable, now she's sane. She's entitled to refuse treatment.

Dr. Eric Foreman:
We have to change her mind, you can't just walk away.

Dr. Gregory House:
Fine! Go in there and tell her that every day is a blessing! "So you killed your baby! Shake it off, think positive! At least you're alive!"... Hmm. Hard to sell when you don't believe it, huh? And you never believed it. You just wanted all that crap you went through to mean something, well it didn't mean anything, it never does! Welcome back.

Dr. Eric Foreman:
Why are you doing this to me. I was happy.

Dr. Gregory House:
You were aspiring to be content.

Dr. Eric Foreman:
Don't give me a semantic argument. I was content with the way things were. That's what happiness means.

Dr. Gregory House:
Right. If we were all satisfied with what we had what a beautiful world it would be. We'd all slowly starve to death in our own filth but at least we'd be happy. Listen I need your self worth to hang on this job. For kicking ass to be all that lets you rise above miserable. If waking up in the morning is enough, I don't need you.

Dr. Eric Foreman:
I can live with that.

Dr. Gregory House:
No you can't. Not anymore.
