- [Sherry Judd and Adrian Monk are looking at a painting in an art gallery]
- Sherry Judd: I love this one, look at their faces, I wonder what they're thinking.
- Adrian Monk: She is planning to murder him.
- Sherry Judd: What?
- Adrian Monk: She's about to feed him Amanita mushrooms, you can tell by the little white spots, it's a deadly poison.
- Sherry Judd: Well maybe she doesn't know?
- Adrian Monk: She knows. He's been hitting her. She's swollen; see the bruises on her arms and her left eye. She knows what she's doing.
- [pause]
- Sherry Judd: It must be hard, to be you, to see everything.
- Adrian Monk: It's awful.
- Mrs. Ledsky: Here. I made one with exactly ten chips in it, like you like.
- [Adrian takes the cookie, and bites it]
- Young Adrian Monk: Mmm... you're an excellent cook, Mrs. Ledsky.
- Mrs. Ledsky: It's a gift...
- [indicates her stomach]
- Mrs. Ledsky: And a curse.
- Natalie Teeger: [re: Monk] What was he like? As a kid?
- Sherry Judd: Pretty much the same. Careful, smart... sad.
- Mrs. Monk: Adrian!
- Young Adrian Monk: Mom, everybody's watching.
- Mrs. Monk: Here's your lunch. It's cut into ten little squares, just like we like. And here's your first aid kit, and your toiletries bag.
- Young Adrian Monk: Mom...
- Mrs. Monk: You'll thank me later. Don't share your lunch with anyone, and sit near the fire doors. I'll pick you up at 3:07, I'll be wearing an orange blouse.
- Young Adrian Monk: Mom, I know what you look like. I love you, Mom.
- [He moves forward to hug her]
- Mrs. Monk: What are you doing?
- Young Adrian Monk: Right, sorry.
- [They shake hands]
