[In Dr. Bell's waiting room]
Natalie:
I can't believe you bought a house without telling me!
Monk:
You would've said no.
Natalie:
Let's see what Dr. Bell has to say.
Monk:
Why should I care what this clown thinks?
Natalie:
He's a therapist! He's supposed to be brilliant. He's written five books and he teaches at Stanford.
Monk:
[glances at the analogue clock, which reads 10:59 AM] One minute now. If he's late, we're leaving.
Natalie:
[spotting the doctor's certificate on the wall] Oh, look! His first name is Neven: N-E-V-E-N! It's a palindrome! That's a good sign!
Monk:
It's not a perfect palindrome. The first N is capitalized.
Natalie:
Dr. Kroger's name was Charles. That wasn't a palindrome.
Monk:
It was to me!
[At the exact moment that the second hand reaches the top and the analogue clock says 11:
00, Dr. Bell comes out of the office]
Dr. Neven Bell:
Mr. Monk. [shakes hands with Monk] Neven Bell. I've been looking forward to this. [After releasing Monk's hand, Dr. Bell produces a wipe from a package of Wet Ones] Wipe. [Monk turns to Natalie, who gives a thumbs up. Cuts to Monk sitting in Dr. Bell's office]
...
Dr. Neven Bell:
Why haven't you been sleeping?
Monk:
Heh, no big mystery. There's this girl across the street who plays the same song. [imitates a section of Prelude in A Major] It doesn't matter, I'm out of there; I just bought a house.
Dr. Neven Bell:
Well congratulations. So when did it start, the piano playing?
Monk:
I don't know. About a year ago.
Dr. Neven Bell:
Hmmmm, but it's only been bothering you for what, five weeks?
Monk:
How did you know that?
Dr. Neven Bell:
Well the girl's been practicing for over a year, and it's only been bothering you since Charles Kroger passed.
Monk:
No. No. No. No. No. [He continues saying "no" as Dr. Bell speaks]
Dr. Neven Bell:
The music she's playing is Chopin. Charles loved Chopin; he played in his waiting room all the time. Maybe the music is reminding you of-of your friend, and it's been affecting you.
