Monk, Season 6

[Monk is giving Julie "the talk"]

Monk:
[loudly] We certainly have had a very productive talk. [edges toward the door] This is the end of the talk...

Julie Teeger:
Mr. Monk, wait. How do you know if what you're feeling is real?

Monk:
[whispering] What are you doing?

Julie Teeger:
No, I'm serious. When you met Trudy, how did you know?

Monk:
Julie, listen, this is not real. It's just for your mother. I'm not really here, you understand? [Julie starts to cry] [Monk continues, still whispering] No, no, please, don't cry. I can't leave if you're crying. [louder] What you're feeling is perfectly normal! [whispering] What you're feeling is probably normal.

Julie Teeger:
It's just... how did you know?

Monk:
All right... [gives her his handkerchief and sits down] I used to wonder the same thing. And when I met Trudy, I said to myself, "now I see. Now I see why I'm here."

Julie Teeger:
Was it wonderful?

Monk:
Yes. I loved falling in love with her. Every morning of every day, I fell in love with her again. I think what your mother has been trying to tell you is, don't worry. All your dreams will come true. But they don't have to come true this weekend, right? You can take your time. You can wait...

Julie Teeger:
Until I find Trudy?

Monk:
Just wait for Trudy. Believe in Trudy. Trudy will come.
