MONK: I hear Mark "called in sick" this week in order to keep playing a new computer game he got for Christmas.

PHIL: So far it's just a theory, but it's the one that makes the most sense.

MONK: So how long will he be out?

PHIL: Who knows? Days. Weeks. If he's in too deep, he'll run out of leave and they'll fire him. Not my problem.

MONK: I guess if that happens you programmers will have to start writing your own documentation.

PHIL: On second thought, we might want to consider staging an intervention.
