Monk Quote
Adrian Monk: Roderick Brody changed my life, maybe as much as Trudy did. He ruined everything. It was childhood's end, really.
Dr. Neven Bell: You know, I had a bully in school too. He would wait for me every morning outside the bicycle rack.
Adrian Monk: Excuse me, sorry to interrupt. You went to your father for advice, and he told you to face up to the bully, and the bully backed down?
Dr. Neven Bell: Yes, more or less. Yes.
Adrian Monk: What a wonderful anecdote. It will give me something to think about at 1: 00 PM, when my head is in the man's toilet.
Dr. Neven Bell: Why don't you just cancel it? Just say you're busy.
Adrian Monk: Natalie won't let me! It's the first paying customer we've had in three weeks. Look, what I need is a note.
Dr. Neven Bell: A note?
Adrian Monk: Yes, a note from you, something I can show Natalie, to get me out of this.
Dr. Neven Bell: Adrian, I'm not going to write you a note.
Adrian Monk: You don't have to write it. [pulls it out of his jacket] It's already written. All you have to do is sign it.
Dr. Neven Bell: Adrian, this isn't gym class. Now you've been talking about this Roderick Brody since the first session. And as I recall, you're still having nightmares about him. You know, I think this meeting today is a gift. It's an opportunity.
Adrian Monk: Maybe you're right. But sign the note.
Dr. Neven Bell: It's an opportunity to confront your greatest fears, to finally resolve them. Put them all behind you. Not many people get this chance.
Adrian Monk: I see your point. I never looked at it like that. [pause] Can I have the note back?
Dr. Neven Bell: Sure. [starts to hand the note back, but stops] Wait, you're not planning to
