Quotes 

• James Sidas : It's lonely, isn't it?

  Dr. Gregory House : It's not that bad.

  James Sidas : Then you're not that smart.

• Dr. Chris Taub : It's too hard to think?

  James Sidas : No. Just unpleasant. No matter what I did, it really wasn't good enough. Then I met Dora. She didn't care how smart I was, or what I might accomplish in the future. It was the first time in my life that I was *really* happy. So I decided I'd rather be happy than smart.

• Ed Beringer : [looking at a book jacket]  Wait, hang on a second. This guy is you. I saw a profile Nova did on you. You're like the youngest guy to ever graduate MIT.

  James Sidas : Standards were lower back then.

• Dr. Eric Foreman : You really think you'd be happier with someone who could spell better?

  James Sidas : [Slight chuckle]  No. That's the problem. I'm the one who's a jerk. But I owe her everything. I want to *want* to be with her. And when I'm clear, I... I can't.
