Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Takes the Stand
Harrison Powell: Why do you need a nurse, Mr. Monk? Charles Friedkin: Objection. Immaterial. Harrison Powell: Mr. Monk said he needed a nurse. Judge Santa Croce: I'll allow it. Answer the question. Adrian Monk: I had a breakdown ten years ago after the death of my wife. Harrison Powell: That was the same time you left the police force, correct? Could you please explain to us the exact circumstances of your departure from the police force? Adrian Monk: Psychiatric discharge. Harrison Powell: I can't hear you, Mr. Monk. Adrian Monk: It was a psychiatric discharge. Harrison Powell: We're all very sorry for your loss, Detective Monk. Excuse me, former detective Monk.
