Monica Waters: Okay, then I have a question for you. Sharona said after your wife died, you never left the house.
Adrian Monk: That's not true. I went outside to get the paper twice.
Monica Waters: And now you're a famous detective.
Adrian Monk: Oh, far from famous.
Monica Waters: The other cops certainly respect you. The mayor calls you and depends on you. You're obviously out of the house. How did you do it?
Adrian Monk: Captain Stottlemeyer was worried about me, and he hired a nurse to take care of me. She showed up one day and just never left.
Monica Waters: You got lucky. You found the right person. That's the secret, isn't it?
