Monk · Season 1, Episode 3

Sharona Fleming and Adrian Monk in “Mr. Monk Meets Dale the Whale”

[Monk and Sharona are walking down a pier.]

Sharona Fleming

Adrian, can I ask you something? If it's none of my business, I promise I'll shut up.

Adrian Monk

I doubt it.

[They smile and there is a pause as they keep walking.]

Sharona Fleming

What did Trudy mean by "bread and butter"?

Adrian Monk

Whenever Trudy and I were walking somewhere, we would hold hands, and if there was a lamp post or somebody walked between us and we had to let go for a second, she'd always say "bread and butter".

Sharona Fleming

So when she died...

Adrian Monk

Yeah, I think it was a message for me. She was saying, "I have to let go now for a little while, but it won't be forever."

[She takes his arm in hers and they continue walking.]
