- Dr. Charlie Kroger: Adrian, I cannot continue to practice anymore 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.
- Adrian Monk: This isn't happening. This can't be happening.
- Dr. Charlie Kroger: Adrian, I promise you I'll get you another doctor. I'll call you next week.
- Adrian Monk: Okay! So it's not true! You're not retiring! I mean, you can't because... He can't retire...
- Dr. Charlie Kroger: [to Natalie] This is step one in the grieving process: denial.
- Adrian Monk: Damn you, Charles! Damn you to hell! I hate you. I hate you! You are dead to me.
- Natalie Teeger: That's not denial.
- Dr. Charlie Kroger: No, step two, that's anger.
- Adrian Monk: Okay. Okay, we're all adults here. We can work this out. I can hire you full time, all right? Put you on payroll.
- Dr. Charlie Kroger: This is step three: bargaining. It usually doesn't go around this quickly.
- Adrian Monk: Why me? Why is it always me? Everybody's always leaving me.
- Natalie Teeger: Depression?
- Dr. Charlie Kroger: Yeah.
- Adrian Monk: This can't go on. I mean, it's just too much. Okay, you're right. It's not the end of the world. I'll just have to find another doctor. I owe you so much. Thanks to you, I think I can get past this. Thanks, doc.
- Dr. Charlie Kroger: And finally, acceptance.
- Natalie Teeger: Thank God that's over.
- Adrian Monk: He can't retire! The man can't quit because he's not a quitter.
- Natalie Teeger: Wait, what's going on?
- Dr. Charlie Kroger: I don't know. It's like he's starting all over again, like he's in a loop.
- Adrian Monk: I hate you for this, Kroger! You are dead to me! You understand me? Dead!
- Dr. Charlie Kroger: I really should be heading home.
- Adrian Monk: I'm Adrian Monk, here to see Dr. Sorenson.
- Sorenson's Receptionist: Fill this out.
- Adrian Monk: It says to list your phobias.
- Sorenson's Receptionist: That's right.
- Adrian Monk: There are only five spaces.
- Sorenson's Receptionist: You can use the back.
- Adrian Monk: I might need another sheet.
- [she hands him another sheet]
- Adrian Monk: I might need another sheet.
- [she hands him another sheet]
- Adrian Monk: I might need another sheet.
- Troy Kroger: There're no way I'm related to you two!
- Dr. Charlie Kroger: I've taken the test three times, what more do you want?
- Harold Krenshaw: [Harold has just been shot - diving in front of Dr. Kroger to take the bullet. He is being cradled by Dr. Kroger] Monk, Monk - come closer.
- [Monk leans in]
- Harold Krenshaw: Beat that.
