Ms. Lennington: Mr. Monk, what would you say is your greatest strength?
Adrian Monk: Oh. Mm... [long, expectant pause] My decisiveness.

Dr. Kroger: Hello, Adrian. Thank you for coming in. Why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?
Adrian Monk: Well, I was married for seven years until a car bomb killed my wife. I've spent the last seven years trying to track down the people responsible for my wife's murder.
Dr. Kroger: Do you have any hobbies?
Adrian Monk: I do. I spend my free time tracking down the people who planted the car bomb that killed my wife.
Dr. Kroger: Okay, Adrian, just a little pointer here. Maybe you don't have to keep mentioning the car bomb.
Adrian Monk: Okay. I'll just say bomb.

Sharona: Adrian, I know you're scared, but you can't keep following me around like this. I can't afford to lose two jobs in one week. I just can't.
Adrian Monk: Where should I go?
Sharona: It's a beautiful day outside. Why don't you try taking a walk? But you just can't stay here. You're not allowed. You are not a patient.
Adrian Monk: Actually, I haven't been feeling so good.
Sharona: Really?
Adrian Monk: I think I'm may becoming down with something. [coughs] I might have caught what he has.
Sharona: So you want to be admitted?
Adrian Monk: Well...
Sharona: Mm, then I have to take your temperature.
Adrian Monk: Okay. [opens mouth]
Sharona: It's not that kind of thermometer.
Adrian Monk: You know, I think I will take that walk.
Sharona: Thought so.
