Thought for the Day

[bcholmes]

House: Oh, how do I abuse you?
Foreman: How do you not? If I make a mistake...
House: I hold you accountable. So what?
Foreman: Dr. Hamilton forgives. He's capable of moving on.
House: That is not what he does.
Foreman: I screwed up his case; he told me...
House: He never said you were forgiven; I was there. He said it wasn't your fault.
Foreman: So?
House: So, it was. You took a chance. You did something great. You were wrong. But it was still great. You should feel great that it was great. You should feel like crap that it was wrong. That's the difference between him and me. He thinks you do your job and what will be will be. I think that what I do and what you do matters. [Pause] He sleeps better at night. He shouldn't.
