Quote from Dr. Kroger in Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine
Dr. Kroger: All right, look, Adrian, maybe I can help you. I know how you feel about medication.
Adrian Monk: No, no, no. No pharmaceuticals. We talked about this.
Dr. Kroger: Yes, we did talk about that, but there is a new drug that's just been approved. It's called doxinyl, and the side effects are supposed to be minimal, and I really think that it might help in your case.
Adrian Monk: I can't do it. The thought of chemicals inside me, in my head... I can't do it.
Dr. Kroger: All right, we can take it slow. We can start off with, with half a dose. All right, look. Uh... This... This is enough for one week, and it's... [After Monk looks at the drug cabinet's open door, Dr. Kroger closes it] This is enough for one week, okay? So you keep those with you.

Quote from Adrian Monk
Dr. Kroger: So how was your weekend?
Adrian Monk: This is not the life I wanted. It's unbearable. You know that I envy everybody. Strangers, people on the street. [grabs a tissue]
Dr. Kroger: Maybe they envy you. You're an extraordinary man.
Adrian Monk: Yeah, I don't want to be an extraordinary man. I want to be the guy on the bus coming home at 5:00 to help his kids with their homework. Where's the trash?
Dr. Kroger: It's over there, but you can, you can just put it down there. Just put it right there. It's fine. Go ahead. [Monk puts the tissue down] Good. That's really good.

Dr. Kroger: Adrian, let's not make this about the tissue.
Adrian Monk: You know, sometimes late at night, I start to think that I never really... Oh, forget it. [gets up and take tissue to the trash can] Look at me. I'm, I'm helpless. I'm, I'm pathetic. I'm not even a man. I'm just a... I'm just a broken machine.
