FOREMAN: You were right about me.

LUPE: Yeah, which time?

FOREMAN: I, uh, I had a problem with you. But you were wrong, too. I’ve made some bad decisions. Stole cars, robbed houses.

LUPE: Killed a woman.

FOREMAN: But then I got another chance. Left home, went to college, entered a whole other world. And yet some part of me I can’t get rid of thinks, “If I’m not the smartest, if I’m not the first, everywhere I go, they’ll figure out I’m not supposed to be here.” They’ll send me back.

LUPE: You know that’s not going to happen. You’re out.

FOREMAN: I’ll never be out of there. When I came home, that last Christmas I was in college, it was like… the rooms felt so small. It was so suffocating. But when I was standing on the stoop saying goodbye, my mom put her arms around me. That was the last time I ever felt at home. I only put distance between you and me because I know there isn’t any.

HOUSE: You did good.

FOREMAN: I did what you would have.

HOUSE: Well, maybe I'm biased, but...

FOREMAN: I tortured the kid.

HOUSE: Because you knew it was right. You knew you were saving his brother.

FOREMAN: I know. I don't like that I know. I hate that I can listen to a kid screaming in pain and not even question whether I'm doing the right thing. I hate that in order to be like you as a doctor, I have to be like you as a human being. I don't want to turn into you.

HOUSE: You're not. You've been like me since you were eight years old.

FOREMAN: You'll save more people than I will. But I'll settle for killing less. Consider this my two weeks' notice.
