Quote from Sharona in Mr. Monk Meets the Godfather
Adrian Monk: You know what? I really think you should talk to your uncle about your nickname. It, it doesn't fit you anymore. Tony Lucarelli: I thought about it, but Uncle Sal is from another century, you know? He's kind of set in his ways. Sharona: Yeah. Tony Lucarelli: I get the feeling Mr. Monk's the same way. Sharona: Well, he's either from another century or another planet. I can't decide.
