Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Genius
Adrian Monk: When Trudy was dying, I got there late. Almost too late. Captain Stottlemeyer: I was there. Adrian Monk: She was slipping away. She couldn't speak. All she could do was reach out. She- She grabbed me with both hands. Like this. And eleven years later, I still feel it. When I promised Linda Kloster, when I gave her my solemn word that her husband would pay, she grabbed my hand the exact same way. I'm not letting this one go. I'm not moving on.
