Adrian, I just don't know what to say. I'm speechless, and I'm very very proud of you.
No big deal.
No-no-no. I'm very, very proud of you. And it is a big deal.
It's just one weekend. I'll be gone for two nights.
Two nights alone in a hotel?
I might even leave my room.
Yes.
Would you like to come along? I'll treat.
No. No, I mean it's your vacation.
My treat.
But it's your breakthrough. And I think it's the first time since you lost Trudy that you're actually looking forward to something.
I am. I'm looking forward.
You know, there is a term for this, Adrian. It's called affirmative reflex. And it's a very, very big step. Okay, it's 3:00. I'll see you next--
Okay, I'll see you on Wednesday.
Whoa, wait-wait-wait. You know, I was thinking maybe we should eliminate Wednesday. And you can come on Monday and Friday.
Two days a week?
Yeah, how would you feel about that?
I don't know what to say. That's only twice as much as a normal person. How many times has Harold Crenshaw come?
Adrian, you know I can't talk about another patient.
I'll bet he comes three times a week. Loser.
Adrian, it's not a contest. The important thing is that you're making real tangible progress. And I couldn't be happier. You know, you've been stuck at square one for a long time.
I hate square one.
Well then let me be the first to say, welcome to square two.
How many squares are there?
We'll just take it one step at a time.
What square is Harold on?
Doesn't matter.
I understand. He's still on square one, isn't he? Blink twice if I'm right.
...
Tangible progress, can you believe it? That's what he said. Tangible progress. Those were his words.
Good for you.
He said that I was on square two.
That's a good place to be.
What square are you on?
Oh, I don't know, Mr. Monk. I never really thought about it.
Well, I'd say... you were on square... four or five.
That sounds about right. But you're catching up. Oh, I'm so proud of you. Are you proud of yourself?
Proud of myself? No, no. That's square-five talk.
