Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Wrong Man
Adrian Monk: I should just quit. Dr. Kroger: Quit? Adrian Monk: Why don't I? Just quit. Now. Today. Never leave the house again. If I had any decency at all I... Dr. Kroger: I won't let you quit, Adrian. You're too good a detective. Adrian Monk: I haven't been sleeping. Been up all night. Reviewing my old cases. How many other mistakes have I made? What else did I miss? How many other innocent people are sitting in some cell right now because- Dr. Kroger: Adrian, it was one case. Adrian Monk: One case is enough. I used to think the worst mistake I could make was letting a killer go free. But this is worse. Sending that man to prison for fourteen years... Dr. Kroger: Adrian, what you're feeling here now, this remorse, this is actually healthy. You're- No, you're connecting with another person. This Max Barton. What you're feeling is empathy. It will make you a better detective. It might even make you a better human being. Adrian Monk: You should've seen him at that hearing. Staring at me. He hates me. At least we have that in common.
