Jack Moriarty : You pretend to buck the system, pretend to be a rebel, claim to hate rules. [We see that House is sleeping] But all you do is substitute your own rules for society's. Now it's a nice, simple rule— tell the blunt, honest truth in the starkest, darkest way. And what will be, will be. And what will be, should be. And everyone else... is a coward. But you're wrong. It's not cowardly not to call someone an idiot. People aren't tactful, or polite just because it's nice. They do it... because they've got an ounce of humility. Because they know that they will make mistakes, and they know that their actions have consequences. And they know... that those consequences will be their fault. Why do you want so badly not to be human, House? [Cameron and Foreman enter and see House looking asleep.] Oh, he's awake.
Dr. Cameron: House, we need to talk to you.
Dr. House: How the hell did you know I was awake?
Jack Moriarty : Your nostrils flare when you sleep.
Dr. House: They do not.
Jack Moriarty : Fine, I'm lying. Zwar waren die beiden bisherigen Highlights - Three Stories 1x21 und Autopsy 2x02 - schon verdammt nah dran, aber das Finale der 2. Staffel hat mich nun tatsächlich so berührt und staunen gemacht, wie sei Six Feet Under nichts mehr in der Serienlandschaft (weil ja Firefly nicht zählt). Hut ab, für dieses Drehbuch und das Regiedebüt vom House-Erfinder höchstpersönlich: David Shore.
Jack Moriarty: You think that the only truth that matters is that truth can be measured. Good intentions don't count. What's in your heart doesn't count. Caring doesn't count. But a man's life can be measured by how many tears are shed when he dies. Just because you can't measure them— just because you don't wanna measure them, doesn't mean it's not real.
Dr. House: [staring at board] That does not make sense...
Jack Moriarty: And even if I'm wrong, you're still miserable. Did you really think that your life's purpose was to sacrifice yourself and get nothing in return? No. You believe that there is no purpose. To anything. Even the lives you save you dismiss. You turn the one decent thing in your life and you taint it, strip it of all meaning. You're miserable for nothing. And I don't know why you'd wanna live.
Dr. House: [turns to Moriarty with a tear in his eye] I'm sorry. P.S.: Dass der Gesprächspartner Moriarty heißt wird zwar nicht erwähnt, aber im Abspann klar gemacht. Und ich hab tatsächlich eineinhalb Staffeln gebraucht um die unzähligen Parallelen zwischen House und Holmes zu kapieren...

Tour's been going well, despite my best efforts to sabotage it.Es muss ja nicht immer nur ein normales Konzert sein. So Divided geht abwärts, dann gibt es auch keinen Grund die Gigs nicht auch kleinzukriegen. Pitchforkl berichtet von bandinternen Schlägereien und üblen Bühnenszenen.
The Austin-based combo eventually cut the gig short, but not before vocalist/guitarist Conrad Keely ceremonially smashed his instrument and shoved an ailing Allen into an amp.
Liebe Trail of Dead, manchmal wird es einfach Zeit endlich aufzuhören.
