House: The World Is Ugly. People Kill. They Go Hungry. — Just Proving A Point. People Are Asses.

Patient: Why Are You Telling Me This Stuff?

House: Because The World Is Not As Ugly As You Think It Is. Your Transplanted Cornea’s Fine, Your Eye Is Fine, But Your Brain Wasn’t Working Right. I’m Gonna Take The Gauze Off Your Eyes Now. It’s Gonna Be Bright.

Patient: I Know.

House: The Brain Cells That Weren’t Brain Cells Were In The Way Of Processing
Visual Information Correctly. After The Transplant, You Could See, But Not See.

Patient: I Could See. I Could Read.

House: Yeah, But It Was Dull, Or Foggy, Or Gray.

Patient: I Don’t Know.

House: What I Do Know Is That You were Not Seeing What Everyone Else Was Seeing.

Patient: And Now? Things Are Gonna Be… Beautiful?

House: Things’ll Be What They Are. 

…

House: How Do I Look?

Patient: You Look Sad.
