Natalie: Do you need a lift?
Max Barton: No thanks.
Adrian Monk: Somebody picking you up? Your wife?
Max Barton: My wife? You mean the woman who stopped visiting me nine years ago? Who divorced me five years ago? That who you mean? You really want to help me, Monk? Why don't you curl up in a corner and die?
Natalie: [to Monk] Well, at least you tried.
Adrian Monk: I have to do something. I have to help him.
Natalie: Mr. Monk, I don't think he wants your help.
Adrian Monk: How do you know?
Natalie: Well, the "curl up and die" thing was sort of a hint.
