House M.D. – (1-09) DNR

“It’s over. I’ve lost my air. The session the other night with those kids was to test to see if i could still play. I can’t.”

“That’s all you are? A musician.”

“I got one thing. Same as you.”

“Really? Apparently you know me better than I know you.”

“I know that limp. I know the empty ring finger and that obsessive nature of yours that’s the 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 is because they ain’t got that one thing that hits them that hard and that true. I’ve got music. You’ve got this, the thing that you think about all the time. The thing that keeps you out of normal. Yeah, makes us great, makes us the best. All we miss out on is everything else. No woman waiting home with a drink and a kiss. That ain’t gonna happen for us.”

“That’s why god made microwaves.”

“Yeah. When it’s over. It’s over.”

“You’ve got, what you’ve got.”
