When a Stranger Calls (1979)

Rachel Roberts: Dr. Monk

Quotes 

• John Clifford : Lets get something straight here, Doctor. I've been 33 years in the business of tracking people down and putting them away... spent almost a year alone on the case of Curt Duncan with the trial and the testimonies and the background investigations. Now, I didn't come here today to look in your God damn folders, in fact I probably wouldn't be here at all if you had done your job right.

  Dr. Monk : This is a hospital, Mr. Clifford, not a penitentiary. Everything appertaining to one of our patients is meticulously recorded in that patient's folder, whether you can make sense of it or not.

• John Clifford : [Inside Dr. Monk's office]  Duncan was Catholic?

  Dr. Monk : Yeah.

  [beat] 

  Dr. Monk : So am I.

  John Clifford : [mildly surprised]  That makes three of us.

  Dr. Monk : Is that right? So we all share the same guilt?

  [Clifford smiles]
