Monk · Season 1, Episode 5

Dr. Morris Lancaster, Adrian Monk and others in “Mr. Monk Goes to the Asylum”

[Monk and the other patients are painting their self-portraits]

Dr. Morris Lancaster

Now remember, this is supposed to be a self portrait. How do you feel about yourself? Look deep inside. There's no right or wrong. [looks over one patient's work] Very good. I love those eyes.

Adrian Monk

Excuse me, Doctor. Is there a sink nearby?

[Jane Gordon sighs]

Adrian Monk

I-I-I need to wash up.

Jane Gordon

Will you shut him up! He has been whining since he walked in here. It's too hot. It's too cold. I have charcoal on my hands!

Dr. Morris Lancaster

Jane, what did we talk about yesterday?

Jane Gordon

[takes a breath] Controlling the urge to lash out.

Dr. Morris Lancaster

Do you have something you wanna say to Mr. Monk?

Jane Gordon

[sighs] Sorry.

Adrian Monk

That's okay. I do have a little charcoal on my hands.

Manny

Dr. Lancaster, guess what I'm painting!

Everyone

Santa Claus!

Dr. Morris Lancaster

All right, all right. [He looks at Manny's work] Huh. Well, you know this is supposed to be a self-portrait. [We see that Manny has painted a HUGE Santa Claus, with a tiny boy at his feet]

Manny

[points to the little boy] That's me.

Dr. Morris Lancaster

Hmm. Why are you so small?

Manny

Everybody's small compared to Santa. [Janie turns to Monk]

Jane Gordon

He actually sits up every night and waits for him.

Manny

I have a feeling he's on his way. It's definitely getting colder outside.

Jane Gordon

It's August, whackjob!

Dr. Morris Lancaster

It's all right. Back to work. Come on. Come on. Go ahead. Go ahead.
