I don't know how we ended up here. Maybe it's the same way? Just bits and pieces always reaching out to grab what it can.

I blamed John, honestly. He was here when I got here. He was there when I got to Rubilyk, too.

[medals]

I don’t think this would have been his first choice. I think if he was taking us somewhere, it would have been a beach.

[ghostface]

You don't think he would've taken us back to his home?

[medals]

Did he ever sound happy talking about it, to you?

[ghostface]

He built an entire empire, Jem. You don't walk away from that on purpose.

[medals]

I used to watch him a lot, you know. And I listened.

[to what he said, to what he didn't say. ] John's the kind of person who does something because he doesn't think anyone else will do it right, I think. So he suddenly goes from being just a guy, right? He goes from that to having all this power. He makes the universe all over again, and everyone is new, and he's the only one he trusts with all his big ideas and all his plans. I don't think he started out wanting an empire, or that when he left it he missed it all that much. I think he was probably the happiest he's ever been in that cabin with you and House because he could just be whatever he felt like being from day to day.

You don't really get to do that as the God Emperor of the Universe, I think. I don't think he ever really got to be himself again until he was with us. I think he was selfish enough to choose that, because we were less responsibility. We were probably the easiest thing he's ever had.

He would've killed everyone in that fuckin' place except for House, me including. I knew it 'cause I felt it every time he worked me over, and I wanted him to do it. I wanted him to kill everyone. I wanted him to take what he needed from me until there was nothing left to bring back.

You say he was happiest with us. Maybe he was. But I think his rage was always hungrier than his need for happiness.

( the worst and best of mankind, all in one man. )

That's why I loved him.

[medals]

I think he gave you what he thought you needed, and what you thought you needed.

[god, father, lover; rage and rage and rage, a wound so open it might never heal. reach in and touch the sinew and the raw nerves and remember me, holy gospel according to John Gaius. ]

So you saw all his rage, and I saw all his grief, and in between we saw the bits and pieces of his love. I think they have to come together to make a whole, so what he actually wanted - what he would have done? Maybe only House really knows.
