Dr. Bell Quote #17
Quote from Dr. Bell in Mr. Monk Goes to Group Therapy
Dr. Bell: Well, it's 10:00. I think we should get started.
Adrian Monk: Where's everyone else?
Dr. Bell: Well, as you know, we had three members who were... Well, who died.
Adrian Monk: What about Harold?
Dr. Bell: Harold Krenshaw did something quite extraordinary. He found another doctor.
Adrian Monk: I don't understand.
Dr. Bell: He wanted you to have these sessions with me all to yourself. You have quite a friend there, Adrian. A friend like that is a blessing.
Adrian Monk: Harold?
Dr. Bell: Now, as far as your HMO is concerned, these sessions are still technically group sessions. You'll just be a group of one. [Monk chuckles] So let's get started. Congratulations on your beating claustrophobia. I'm proud of you. So what's next?
Adrian Monk: Okay, um... "Death."
Dr. Bell: Death? That's gonna be a tough one.
Adrian Monk: Yeah. Could you sit here?
Dr. Bell: Of course. So...
Adrian Monk: I like this. I think I should have tried group therapy a long time ago.
Dr. Bell: This is a good group.
‘Mr. Monk Goes to Group Therapy’ Quotes
Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Natalie: So it was suicide?
Adrian Monk: I don't think so. Look at his wrists. Hair has been pulled out. Someone taped them. He was tied up.
Lieutenant Disher: Could be a serial killer. He's killing people according to their phobias. This guy was afraid of heights, so he pushed him off the roof.
Adrian Monk: Augie wasn't afraid of heights. He was afraid of spiders.
Lieutenant Disher: That's different. It's killing people using the opposite of their phobias. The Opposite Killer.
Captain Stottlemeyer: So you're saying the opposite of a spider is a tall building?
Lieutenant Disher: What do you think the opposite of a spider is?
Captain Stottlemeyer: I have no idea, but it's not a tall building.
Lieutenant Disher: Mmm. Tell that to the Opposite Killer.
Natalie: Are you crying?
Captain Stottlemeyer: No, I have allergies.
Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Adrian Monk: Where's the towel? There's no towel next to the pool. I wouldn't go swimming first thing in the morning in October without a towel. I mean, I wouldn't go swimming anyway, but you see what I mean. I think she was killed.
Lieutenant Disher: Let me guess. The victim was not afraid of water. It's him, The Opposite Killer. That's his M.O.
Captain Stottlemeyer: There is no Opposite Killer. If there were, you would have been killed by a falling rocket scientist years ago.
Quote from Harold Krenshaw
Dr. Bell: All right, hold on here. Adrian was trying to warn us.
Harold Krenshaw: A classic cry for help. Or was it an attempt to divert suspicion? Hmm. Do you even have an alibi for Wednesday?
Adrian Monk: No.
Harold Krenshaw: How about when Barbara was killed? [Monk shakes his head] Of course you don't. Here's what happened. The HMO changed their policy, no more private sessions. You were desperate. You needed to kill one of us so there'd be an opening in the group. Do you deny it?
Adrian Monk: [stands up] Of course I deny it.
Harold Krenshaw: Which is exactly what a guilty man would say!
Adrian Monk: That's true.
Harold Krenshaw: Augie was next. You lured him up to the roof. It was easy. He trusted you. But I don't. You're planning to pick us off, one by one, until you have Neven all to yourself. He's the guy.
Dr. Bell: Harold, what you are suggesting is absurd. Adrian's not capable of killing anyone. Mr. Monk, you're not a killer.
