• [Monk enters a house and starts putting away his groceries, then calls Sharona] 

  Sharona Fleming : Hello?

  Adrian Monk : Hi. It's me. Where do I keep the large casserole dish? I can't find it anywhere.

  Sharona Fleming : Right of the sink, upper middle cabinet.

  Adrian Monk : *Right* of the sink, upper middle, no. No, popcorn maker's in there.

  Sharona Fleming : What is?

  Adrian Monk : Popcorn maker.

  Sharona Fleming : You don't have a popcorn maker.

  Adrian Monk : I think I do; I'm looking right at it.

  Sharona Fleming : Adrian, you're in the wrong house.

• [last lines] 

  Adrian Monk : Good news. I'm seriously considering you for employee of the month.

  Sharona Fleming : Thanks, boss. I'll see you tomorrow.

• Sharona Fleming : He takes three showers every day with this star-shaped nozzle. This is the nozzle. And he needs a five watt night light for sleeping. Anything more, he won't sleep and dark-colored pillowcases.

  Adrian Monk : Sharona?

  Sharona Fleming : Nothing light, okay?

  Adrian Monk : Sharona?

  Sharona Fleming : What?

  Adrian Monk : You're scaring the man.

  Sharona Fleming : No, I'm not.

  Adrian Monk : Well, you're scaring me.

  Oliver : Ma'am, your friend's in good hands. I'm going to look after him personally. You can trust me.

  Sharona Fleming : Mmm-hmmm.

  Adrian Monk : See? I'm gonna be okay. You're worrying more than I am.

  Sharona Fleming : Look. I can't protect you here, Adrian.

  Adrian Monk : What could happen? It's a hospital.

  Dr. Charles Kroger : This is all gonna be over before you even know it.

• [Sharona reads one of Dr. Gould's journals] 

  Sharona Fleming : "Dr. Murdock has assured me that I am next in line for the directorship, a decision bound to be met with anger and derision by Dr.-"

  [We see the rest of the text: "Dr. Lancaster"] 

  Sharona Fleming : Oh my God.

• Dr. Charles Kroger : You're going to be fine. They just want to spend 48 hours with you to observe and evaluate.

  [Monk notices a broken sign board] 

  Adrian Monk : Gee, that "B" - it's broken. Looks like an "R".

  [He starts to fix it] 

  Adrian Monk : It's all...

  Dr. Charles Kroger : Adrian. Adrian. You're gonna have to take this thing seriously. Judge Hackman says you're lucky those people didn't press charges... or shoot you. Now, the-the director's name is Morris Lancaster. He's one of the top psychiatrists in the country.

  Sharona Fleming : Morris Lancaster? Yeah. He's good. I saw him on CNN.

• Dr. Moris Lancaster : If anything, his behavior has deteriorated. We may have to keep him here longer than we thought.

  Sharona Fleming : Well, how much longer?

  Dr. Moris Lancaster : That's hard to say. It could be a month.

  Sharona Fleming : A month?

  [They examine Monk, standing out in the garden] 

  Dr. Moris Lancaster : It could be as long as a year. Adrian is bipolar. He's delusional and he's paranoid. He sees murder mysteries everywhere he turns. In fact, he's befriended another patient, and the two of them are trying to prove that Santa Claus really does exist.

  Sharona Fleming : Santa Claus?

  Dr. Moris Lancaster : Mm-hmm. They went out on the roof collecting evidence. It would be funny if it wasn't so... dysfunctional.

  [Dr. Lancaster and Sharona meet Monk] 

  Dr. Moris Lancaster : Adrian, look who's here.

  Sharona Fleming : Hey, boss. How you feelin'?

  Adrian Monk : Ah, I feel good. I can't-I can't wait to go home.

  Sharona Fleming : Well, we were just talking about that.

  Dr. Moris Lancaster : Adrian, would you mind if I showed your friend some of the artwork that you made yesterday?

  [He shows some artwork] 

  Dr. Moris Lancaster : Oh, here it is. Wait a minute.

  [shows them a disturbed image of Trudy's grave] 

  Adrian Monk : Did I draw that?

  Dr. Moris Lancaster : You don't remember? Isn't that Trudy's grave?

  Sharona Fleming : Um, Dr. Lancaster said that you saw Santa Claus.

  Adrian Monk : [scoffs]  No, we didn't actually see him. Manny took a picture, but he lost the camera. But we found a piece of a red suit.

  Dr. Moris Lancaster : We'd love to see it, Adrian.

  [Monk looks through his pockets for the piece of Santa fabric that he found, but he finds it missing] 

  Adrian Monk : It was here. It was in here. A little piece of fabric, you know, of Santa's-Santa's, you know, suit. Okay, no, no. It was a piece of... fabric, and...

  Sharona Fleming : Doctor? Can I talk to you privately?

  Adrian Monk : Like... Santa's suit.

  Dr. Moris Lancaster : Sure.

  [He and Sharona walk away] 

  Sharona Fleming : He's not himself. He needs me. Look, I could be here two, three times a week, okay? I still have my license. Maybe they can give me a job here.

  Dr. Moris Lancaster : Sharona, I know you mean well, but the less contact Adrian has with his old life, the better. You can write him a letter. You can bring him something from home. I'm sure he'd like that, but no visits.

  [Sharona approaches Monk, who is looking under his bed] 

  Sharona Fleming : Look, Adrian. I-listen, I-I can't take you home right now.

  Adrian Monk : Sharona, look at his shoes, just look at his shoes. They're smudged. Could be soot. Those are boat shoes. They're made for traction. And I think, he has been walking on the roof.

  Sharona Fleming : Adrian, just try to listen to Dr. Lancaster, okay?
