Quote from Sharona in Mr. Monk and Sharona
Sharona: Ah, Perry Walsh, 904. Where you going? Natalie: Ninth floor. Sharona: The elevator's over here. Natalie: Mr. Monk always takes the stairs. Sharona: I know he always takes the stairs, I always made him take the elevator. It's good for him. Natalie: Thanks, I appreciate it, but I don't want to make him uncomfortable. Sharona: But sometimes he has to be uncomfortable, otherwise he'll never learn. Natalie: I'm not his psychiatrist, I'm his assistant. Sharona: Then why don't you try assisting him, instead of pandering to him? Natalie: How about this? It's the ninth floor, right? Let's take the elevator up to four, and then walk up five flights. Adrian Monk: Yeah, that sounds fair. Sharona: Or we take the elevator up to level five and walk up four flights. Adrian Monk: Can't argue with that. Sharona: You treat him like a child. Natalie: He's not a child. Sharona: I did not say he was a child. I said you're treating like him. Natalie: I'm being supportive. Sharona: No, you're not being supportive. You're enabling him. Adrian Monk: Okay, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna get on the elevator and take it up to 18 and walk down 9 flights. That way everybody's miserable.
