- Quotes
Dr. Charles Kroger: That must have been a traumatic experience for you Adrian. And they cancelled the movie?
Adrian Monk: He said he wanted to play a character who wasn't so dark and depressing. He's in England doing Hamlet.
Dr. Charles Kroger: How about the little getaway you were planning? The weekend away?
[Adrian shakes his head]
Dr. Charles Kroger: All right, okay, maybe another time.
Adrian Monk: I guess I'm back to square one.
[groans]
Adrian Monk: It's good to be home.
Dr. Charles Kroger: Adrian, please don't be hard on yourself. I think we should go back to three days a week for just a little while. That would be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Adrian Monk: And Tuesday.
Dr. Charles Kroger: Tuesday would be four days a week...
[Monk give Kroger a beleaguered look]
Dr. Charles Kroger: Okay, I could see that just until you're back on your feet...
Adrian Monk: And Thursday.
Dr. Charles Kroger: Oh no, Thursday is five days a week, Adrian.
[With his head in his hand Adrian moans]
Dr. Charles Kroger: Okay, that way five days a week would be easier to remember...
Adrian Monk: And Saturday.
Dr. Charles Kroger: Well, Saturday is the weekend and I don't like to see patients on the weekends.
Adrian Monk: Saturday!
Dr. Charles Kroger: Adrian, I have a family and I like to keep the weekend free...
Adrian Monk: [Desperately] Saturday!
Dr. Charles Kroger: Okay, we'll try that for a weekend or two. So that would be Monday, Tuesday...
Adrian Monk: And Sunday.

In this episode, Stanley Tucci plays a method actor who will play Monk in a movie based on a previous case. Tony Shalhoub has made a name for himself playing the very peculiar Monk and to have someone to attempt the role and succeed really shows the strength of these two actors.
I was hooked at the beginning when Tucci showed up on set and I could already see that he can pull off the Monk look and the rest of the episode made me truly applaud his outstanding portrayal. And I have to remember the actor that help brought such a wonderful character to life.
I'm glad that of all the episodes I caught, I was able to see such talented actors. I guess the only downfall would be the lack of shine from the supporting cast. It's like the two amazing actors took so much of the attention that the others sort of fade into the background.
