Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Meets Dale the Whale
Sharona: Uh, which one of you is Sue Ellen? Hi. My name is Sharona, and this is my friend Mr. Monk. He just wants to ask you a couple of questions about what you saw the night that the judge was, um... Sue Ellen: Brutally slain. Sharona: Yeah. That's right. Girl: Is he a policeman? Sharona: He was. Sue Ellen: What happened? Adrian Monk: I had a breakdown. I was nearly catatonic for about three and a half years.
