Quote from Dr. Kroger in Mr. Monk Gets a New Shrink
Adrian Monk: Here's the thing. At the crime scene, my file happened to fall open, and I accidentally read something. Something you had written. A notation. It's no big deal. Dr. Kroger: Adrian. Not a good time. Adrian Monk: No, I-I understand. I understand this has been a tough day. A woman was slaughtered in your office, for God's sake. This can wait until Monday. Dr. Kroger: Adrian, I'm not going to be in my office on Monday. Adrian Monk: Perfectly understandable. You need some time. I'll see you Wednesday. Dr. Kroger: Adrian, you may as well be the first one to know. I'm quitting my practice. I'm retiring. Natalie: As of when? Dr. Kroger: As of ten minutes ago. I have some money saved. Maybe- Maybe I'll do some writing. Adrian Monk: As you both know, I don't have much of a sense of humor, so sometimes it's hard for me to tell- Natalie: Mr. Monk, he's not joking. Dr. Kroger: Adrian. I cannot continue to practice any more after today. The police think that one of my patients killed Teresa Mueller. I should have seen it coming. I didn't. I missed it. This is all my fault.
