Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Gets Fired
Ms. Lennington: Would you like another chair? Adrian Monk: No. I'm fine. I'm normal. I'm a normal person. Ms. Lennington: I see here you worked as a consultant for the police department. That must've been very exciting. Um, have you ever done any fact checking? Adrian Monk: Um, no, ma'am, unless you count this morning. Ms. Lennington: What happened this morning? Adrian Monk: Well, Sharona took me to the library to look at some back issues of your magazine. I found a few mistakes. Ms. Lennington: Huh. I- Page 32, "the building was decimated." Adrian Monk: Technically inaccurate. Decimate means "to reduce by 1/10th." Deci-mate. Ms. Lennington: Wow. And you did all this this morning in the library. How many magazines did you read? Adrian Monk: One. Just that, just that one. Ms. Lennington: One. Adrian Monk: Wow. It's a gift. And, and a curse. Ms. Lennington: I can see that. Do you have any questions for me? Adrian Monk: Just, uh, yes. If, if I get the job, will this be my chair? Ms. Lennington: Not while I'm here.
