Allusions and References
- Ghandi and Pol Pot: In 1930, Gandhi marched 248 miles to protest a tax on salt imposed by the British. In Cambodia, Pol Pot restructured society as the head of Khmer Rouge during the mid 1970s. He did this by having all of the educated and educators executed.
- House: Gandhi didn't march to the sea because his buddies asked him to. Pol Pot didn't wipe out the teachers because he wanted to make friends.
- Kübler-Ross Model: In 1969, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross published On Death and Dying, a book most famous for outlining the five stages of grief exhibited by someone who is dying. Those five stages are: Denial and isolation, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance.
- House: You just made a completely seamless jump from anger to bargaining.
Memorable Moments
Quotes
- House: You know how people say you can't live without love? Oxygen is even more important.
- Chase: I'm against the death penalty in principle. In practice, however, watching a murderer die causes me a lot less grief than annoying my boss.
- Foreman: Doesn't mean we need to get rid of the death penalty; just means we need to kill more white people.
