Monk, Season 8

[Stottlemeyer warns Monk about how working with both Natalie and Sharona is dangerous]

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
You're gonna have a breakdown. I love Natalie. And I love Sharona, too. They're both wonderful women. You got lucky twice. But together, they're like bourbon and vodka: I love them both, but I can't have them at the same meal because they don't mix. These women are so different, Monk. They're going to tear you apart like a piece of saltwater taffy.

Monk:
I know, I've been a piece of taffy all day. Natalie's been acting like Mary, Queen of Scots. She wants more money. I mean, she won't lay down in the dirt when I ask her. I'm losing her.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
And it's only gonna get worse.
