House rarely went into thrift stores, he saw them as places where people dumped their old junk and he didn't believe the saying 'one man's junk is another man's treasure' it was just junk, plain and simple.
Which is why he was slightly perturbed when Wilson brought home an old record player from one of the thrift stores they had in the old section of Princeton. He seemed so happy and thrilled with his purchase that House nearly decided to let him have his fun - nearly.
"Isn't it great? Now we can listen to your records the way they were meant to be played," Wilson told him.
"Or we could throw out that piece of crap and listen to them the way I've been playing them for years. I don't think you'll hear anything different on that."
"It's not the point, it'll sound different because it'll be nostalgic."
"For what?"
"For the old times."
"Wilson, I rarely say this, but you're a moron and you got robbed."
"I only paid 35 for this thing."
"Like I said, you got robbed."
He let Wilson play his least favourite record on it and despite House's initial belief that it probably didn't even work, it played and Wilson stood there swaying along to the music, it was enough to make even House nostalgic for the old times.
