The Socratic Method: Episode 6

The Socratic Method:

First of all: Happy birthday, House! Enjoy a pickle-less imaginary birthday dinner in your festive hat!

Next, and more on topic:
When House is going on about how wonderful schizophrenics/lunatics in general are, leading Chase to say this:
Chase: They [crazy people] aren't boring. He [House] likes that.

It very much reminded me of Holmes saying that, "...there are always some lunatics about. It would be a dull world without them." (3GAB)

And, also:
Wilson: Didn't we just leave your office?
House: I like to walk.

I seem to remember Holmes pacing when he thinks, too... Ah, yes! STUD, chapter 7: "'It can't be a coincidence,' he cried, at last springing from his chair and pacing wildly up and down the room."

And in SCAN: "I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again."

And in REIG: "We found Holmes pacing up and down in the field, his chin sunk upon his breast, and his hands thrust into his trousers pockets."

Well, that's it for Socratic Method
