Why Don't You Fight!? | House M.D. 

"LIFE IS PAIN!! I wake up every morning in pain! I go to work in pain! " There it was, that's the real House he's been hiding all these years.

Wilson's actor(Robert Sean Leonard) seriously doesn't get enough credit for how good a job he did. He was also in dead poet's society if I remember correctly and he did a phenomenal job there as well

In the end his love for Wilson was greater than the hate he had for himself. All the pain all the self loathing all the misery was no match for the truest of friends...Wilson.

House almost breaking in tears listening to Wilson, always gets me.

“And you’re making me go through this ALOOONE 😡” I felt that!

Robert's performance in these few episodes deserves alot more respect than it gets...

After House's outburst, all the patients in the building were like "wtf", but all the doctors were more like "yikes that's House alright".

Description: "Wilson decides to stop further treatment and die with dignity" House: "There's no such thing. We can live with dignity, we can't die with it."

The way Wilson says “and you’re making me go through this ALONE”, that was the best acting I’ve ever seen. Shivers. Hugh Laurie is obviously so so so talented and amazing, but this line is, for me, the most well-acted scene in the whole series.

The way house says ,,I need you, okay?"

"I am pissed because I am dying and it's not fair...I need a friend...I to know that your there... I need you to tell me that my life was worthwhile...and i need...I need you to tell me that you love me" this hurts. And robert is a wonderful actor...really talented

I mean in that Taub confrontation, House is right. He understands the pain of life better than any of them.

I love how the ending of the series reconnects with the pilot, as the school teacher had given up and wanted to die in peace while House attempted to convince her to not give up...

The greatest friendship ever portrayed on TV.

when he choked out the patient, you can just feel his raw manifested rage. House is seriously a ticking time bomb when he's faced with the realization that he will be alone.

I like how Taub gets spooked at first then immediately understands whats going on as soon as House starts to yell, then signals with his eyes the people behind him, making House realize where he's at, like Taub understood House lost himself in the tought of pain.

For eight seasons, you thought you were watching a hospital drama, when you finally realised you’re watching one of the best bromances ever put on television

"You spent your whole life looking for the truth, but sometimes the truth just sucks!" One of Dr Parks' best lines.

"Life is pain !!!" Never saw House so intense emotional

House is a true friend in his own blunts negative way he was encouraging Wilson not to give up and to keep fighting, Wilson never gave up on House and House wasn't about to give up on Wilson

House did all he could to help Wilson fight. And in the end House gave up his entire life to be with his best friend during his last months. Truly a bro

Robert Sean Leonard's performance here is phenomenal. I got shivers.

I find it interesting to contrast House’s reaction to 13 dying/her having Huntington’s when he says, “I’ll kill you”, versus Wilson’s wanting to die, or rather, his submission to cancer. Yes, there are differences. 13 is a certain death which has not begun, which is in contrast to Wilson’s extremely high likelihood of death but practically speaking almost as certain; but the difference in his reaction really shows how much he cares about Wilson, how much he needs him. House certainly likes 13, perhaps even loves her to an extent, but he acts as can not survive without Wilson. He is the most important person in House’s life, and when that part of him is fading away, he finally breaks down and loses it. Even when thinking about his reaction to losing Cuddy or Stacy, they can’t seem to match up to Wilson for House. Wilson is just that special. It’s really beautiful

@ 2:10 is the crux. "I don't owe you anything. Our entire relationship has been about you. MY DYING is about me". And Wilson is exactly right. He deserves better.

"Life is pain." Man this really touched me

That's some really powerful acting. The chemistry between House and Wilson feels real, better than among a lot of male - female interactions.

Jesus -- his face when it dawns on him that House is conning him, even now -- the ultimate betrayal. Phenomenal acting.

Ugh one of the most emotional moments of the show.

Man, whenever House speaks himself, it just shakes you completely. Both of them just completely sell their characters so well. I am really reaallllly glad that I watched this series. And thanks for reminding me of that.

Robert Sean Leonard is such a fucking good actor. Like straight up some of the rawest emotion I've ever seen in media.

That car scene was heartbreaking. Sweet, mild-mannered Wilson starts yelling and I instantly burst into tears. Gets me every time.

4:45 that eye swivel from Taub was great detail, to bring them to perspective of others listening.

Imagine going to a hospital after a suicide attempt and first thing you hear is your doctor screaming out "LIFE IS PAIN" in the hallway and then a while later he enters your room just to choke you

House growling out "Life is pain!!!!" Was Art, beautiful art.

As someone who has a similar condition to the one House portrays, he was spot on. There is rarely a day that goes by without me thinking of taking the short trip. Most of the time it is a fleeting thought, and other times I really ponder it. But at the end of the day, I have family that needs me. If that need ever disappeared, then there would be a problem. But pain, it changes how you think. I don't want to die, but I certainly am not afraid of it. When you wake up, every single day in pain, and I don't mean a headache pain but more like someone driving a glowing red hot nail through your foot, or like every inch of your skin below your knee is on fire and feels like it is burning to the bone, when you wake up to that every single day, sometimes its the smallest thing that keeps you grounded. And a friendship like theirs would erase any need or want for House to keep waking up.

Also, Park just can't stop hitting her bosses, right?

Not exactly sure why, but that line “you’re resisting me cause it’s our human responsibility to STAY ALIVE” really hits hard. Given what’s happening with Wilson. Man I miss this show, it will forever be one of my top 3 favourite shows of all time, still watch it whenever I can. ❤

After the first few seasons of the show, I said "Wilson will stay even if everyone leaves." Wilson is right that he did not want to live in pain, and perhaps the best person to understand his desire is House, who spent his life in pain. However, House is right too in his reaction to the possibility of losing the only person to stay with him. Regardless, I am happy to watch this wonderful friendship. So "Enjoy yourself it's later than you think. Enjoy yourself while you're still in the pink." 🎶

"sometimes truth,just sucks" yeah it does but can't run away from it,can we?🙂

"and you're making me go through this alone" hit me like a truck ngl that was some good acting by robert

Hugh Laurie as House is the best performance in Television history.

Gotta admire park hitting house over the head with his own cane

Robert Sean Leonard, the first time I saw him was in "Dead Poet's Society". I was in love with his acting, and the way his performance as Neal Perry made me feel, every emotion. His handsome face was just a bonus.

One of House's constants was not giving up on life no matter how hard it is. Because it was one of his biggest character traits. Yes, he gives in to pain by going hard on drugs to mask the pain he was feeling and even says he wanted to end his life because of it. But something, he always finds something to keep him going. Wilson was one of those things. House spent so many years fighting through pain to keep on living and he was upset that Wilson was giving up on life instead of fighting. Even if it just meant a few more months of life. These characters are so wonderfully written and acted.

The acting is exceptional and I literally cannot stress this enough

First time in years that wilson has been written with more depth than "Protagonist's best friend and conscience"...and Robert Sean Leonard never fails to impress...the guy made 3 or 2 episodes which are more than wonderful...stunning and scary individual performance.. Him and hugh Laurie it's like a tennis match between two great players...great performance back and forth...delivered a painful scene..the man is a great actor

Wilson now knows what it’s like to live in House’s shoes. Of course, House never had cancer, but he’s been in excruciating amounts of pain more than the average human being. While he really wants Wilson to fight through and live as long as possible, House ultimately concedes when he realizes that just like himself, he just doesn’t want to be in pain anymore. He even yelled at Taub about how he relates, “ Life is pain! I wake up everyday and I’m in pain. I go to work in pain. Do you know how many times I just wanted to give up? How many times I thought about ending it?”

Just remembering what happens makes me cry

I want to believe that House wants so strongly Wilson to do the chemo, not only for his loneliness and the fact that once he is dead, he will be alone, but also because he has been living in pain, misery and depression for his entire life. Every day, like he screams, he wakes up in pain, goes to work in pain, thinks about suicide and the idea of putting himself out of his misery. However he constantly fights his demons and his physical pain. It is true that he abuses vicodin in order to fight this battle against himself, but he tries with all his strengths. When he sees these two people (Wilson and the boy who attempted suicide) that are not willing to do the same, he can't accept that. He can't accept the fact that he has always chosen to live a life of pain, whereas others have not. This is the main trigger, in my opinion, that leads to his reaction when he tries to strangulate the boy. Same thing with Wilson when he gets out of his car, leaving him alone.

Life is Pain.. and it's our human responsibility to stay alive.. So much power in these 2 sentences.

This whole clip, this whole /episode/, hits so gd hard. Wilson trying his best to keep it together. House trying to be the friend he knew he needed… It makes me wanna cry everytime. Robert and Hugh made this show what it was.

5:00 *Taub is recorded outside* "House yelled at me today. That was one of the most frightening experiences of my life"

4:37 feels so good to hear it🙂

This was the only time in the series that House was scary. You always kind of got the feeling throughout that he was capable of snapping and going off, but strangling a patient in a violent rage was not on the bingo card. When he threw his cane down at 5:36 you knew something bad was about to happen. Brilliantly shocking scene.

Wilson was the only person House ever truly loved. There friendship was unbreakable. I have a friend like that. His name is Guy, and also a wife like that, her name is Elizabeth

The writing on this show was absolutely brilliant at times. They way we go from a scene that makes us hate House and how he's treating Wilson to his interaction with Taub to give us a little more understanding into why he feels the way he does is just incredible

"Can’t wait to die? Here, let me help you You see, you wanna live You resisting me because it’s our human responsibility is STAY ALIVE!"

I’m physically incapable of watching the car scene without crying I swear

When house yell life is pain, and the rest of his rant, that hit hard for me

There were few scenes where House truly let down his guard and was real with the people that mattered to him.

5:23 - Even before he walked into the room moments later, you can tell House was mad after hearing what Park just said.

What I love about the teams that house had along the way, was that they each got less endeared or respectful of him as the seasons went by, and each new group was less sycophantic or interested in him at all.

Robert at first didn't want to be anything but a side character as Wilson when the series first started but in a way, he knew his role in Hugh's House development was more than just a job for a side character. He nailed Wilson's role and it's one of the best TV arcs of all time I say.

If you haven't already, watch the 2006 Emmys opening with Connor O'Brian. House's part is what made the whole opening

“Life is pain” “that’s the point” two of my favorite lines from the series

this episode and wilson's heart literally made my eyes waterfalls.

House: Life is pain Westley: Anybody who says differently is selling something

That moment when you understood the two sides (Wilson's &House's) because I was once suicidal. There was a part in me that just wanted to end it while there was another that wanted to fight. The one that prevailed was the later, but it was not easy. It was a constant fight every day while no one understands. It's a lonely feeling, but it is also empowering after you achieve the break through it. Not because one is stronger than those who decide to give up, but just because you made it. At the same time, it makes you feel compassion and understanding to those who are in the path or those who give up. Remember to always extend your hand to help others, everyone. You do not know if they are in this fight and just need a bit of more light in their world to keep going.

4:37 Very Profound. It gives me chills. To Live Is To Fight & To Fight Is To Live. We Fight The: Pain, Depression, Sadness and Sorrow. Some Of Us Give Up, House Is Reminding Us To: KEEP FIGHTING ‼️

Amazing acting, the way he shouts 'ALONE'

Wow that car scene always makes me cry

That man loved Wilson more than himself

I love how House it's always rude, but he is always right. You dont live for your own happiness, you live for the people you love and them for yourself

That line when House says that he was thinking about giving up.... From personal experience all I can say is... Living with chronic pain is the hardest challenge in life and I wish luck to whoever that has to go through that. Chronic pain takes part of your soul and it's very rarely you'll get it back. Nevertheless, I hope we can seek support in each other xx

I dont think i really grasped how perfect what park said at the end was until just now. Seen this show loads of times and it still blows my mind

Love how the characters in the background at the restaurant realistically look over, glance, and you can tell they're talking about what they just heard. That's some good directing right there. Wow...

When House says he needs you, it's real.

There is not a single actor that I can come up with that can act out the level of total, utter despair the way Hugh Laury can.

Funny, I was searching for this exact clip a day before this was uploaded... This is the second time that this happened for a house clip... Get out of my head house!

To whoever runs the channel, if you're ever extremely bored, how about a compilation of every time that Foreman expresses concern for House.

When House outbursts and strangles the patient all I could think was that he lost it, and just took all his current anger on the poor kid. But in fact he's just pissed that someone chooses to die when they could easily live, because his best friend is gonna die even though he wants to live. It's unfair, it sucks, that's life.

4:37 house may be a self-centered egotistical sarcastic asshat most of the time but he really has it the hardest his every waking moment is a struggle he hides

Wilson is so well acted.

I think the acting is what makes this show so good. The story is good sure, but the actors just nailed it.

The main take away from this is House just doesn’t want to lose his one and only best friend. House wants him to fight the cancer to keep living. Everyone judging him won’t lose as much as House will if Wilson dies.

I love that line so much "Youve spent your whole life looking for the truth. Well sometimes the truth sucks."

4:37 electrifying acting

"He just doesn't want to live in pain." Hmm, I wonder what happens if you say that to someone who is in constant pain. Looking down into replies: Good points across the board.

I just finished the series today Can't get over it😭

3:22 It's devastating to see a good man crying 💔💔

“I have 5 months to live, and you’re making me go through this ALONE!!!”

6:05 just when i thought she would open her mouth to speak its incredible words get through

"And they were roomates."

5:28 you can see the fury in his eyes like a fire just got lit.

5:34 as soon as he threw that cane , I knew he was about to do something wild

I’ve looked for this clip for so long. I’m so glad I was able to experience it

Brilliant scene, brilliant writing, brilliant portrayal and a great thought ending. I love how every character is developed properly up to an extent and how brilliantly , the true real emotions are portrayed by the House MD crew, Robert(Wilson) really nailed that car scene. The whole character of house revolves around many things one of which is we break the rules that we created in the first place, making a point that no matter how much genius house was, he was still prone to common emotions that everyone normally goes through specially the ones he called it "idiot". In one episode House said "People try to find links in semi random events" and its stupid and then in another episode he stopped methadone treatment just because he made a one wrong diagnosis in the beginning of the episode. Knowing the truth and accepting it are two very different things. The clips was one of such moments, where House just cant justify, Why Wilson is doing such things to himself? How can anyone just give up on life? He didn't because logic says one shouldn't but why is Wilson doing such an act? Like all of us, he burst out on patient , he lost control only to be reminded people are, what they are, they do things not because of logic but 100 different other things like emotions , beliefs etc that went inside that head. And most important truth that it will not always quench your thirsts or what you actually want in the first place. That's why finding truths need courage. One of the things you can learn from the character House is what not to be. He is a person cursed by his own knowledge. House is not a hero but he is a person who understands the pain very well and doesn't want others to go through it .

It’s just so Good! House is about so many things and too good at everything it wanted to convey, and in a way when I look back, it is the story of greatest friendship on TV probably On any media known to me!

Absolutely great actors, all of them. But also remember the writers. Appreciate the minds that come up with this dialouge.

"YOU WANNA LIVE DON'T YOU?" I can't tell if he's doing the right thing there or not. Morals are weird.
