Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Three Pies
Sharona: When was the last time you spoke to him? Adrian Monk: About four years ago. Maybe five. Sharona: Was it four or five? Adrian Monk: Six. Seven. Look... He didn't come to Trudy's funeral. Sharona: But you just said that he can't leave the house. Adrian Monk: He never called or wrote. Not one word. Sharona: Did you call him? Adrian Monk: Yes! A hundred times. Never picked up the phone. Sharona: Maybe he's calling to apologize. Adrian Monk: It's too late. I don't need him. Sharona: Well, I think you do.
