Quote from Dr. Kroger in Mr. Monk Can't See a Thing
Dr. Kroger: All right, Adrian, wh- Wh- What about your work? Adrian Monk: My work? My work's great. I'd say I'm operating at or just below Magoo level. Dr. Kroger: Adrian, I have to tell you I'm a little concerned. Now, there are five stages of grief, and I think you've already leapfrogged over at least the first three of them. And I think any doctor- Adrian Monk: I'm sorry to interrupt. I was just thinking. You could be naked right now, and it wouldn't bother me. Dr. Kroger: Adrian, I'm not naked. Adrian Monk: But you could be. Dr. Kroger: Look it, Adrian. I think that you're using this condition as an excuse to cut yourself off from the real world, even more than usual. And the pendulum will swing back. Adrian Monk: I don't think so. Dr. Kroger: Yes, it will. This is what pendulums do. You could come crashing down. It would be very painful. I- I-I just refuse to believe that you are happy - genuinely happy - having lost your eyesight. Adrian Monk: It's the best thing that ever happened to me. Dr. Kroger: Oh, okay, fine. Well, then, why don't we get some ear plugs, and some nose plugs? And then you can just cut yourself off completely from the world. Adrian Monk: Yeah. Dr. Kroger: Or maybe we could arrange to have you put into a coma. Adrian Monk: Well, let's try the ear plug thing first.
