Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Kid
Adrian Monk: What are their demands? Abigail Carlyle: $500,000. And they said that if we went to the police they would kill Daniel. That's why we couldn't tell you the truth. Jacob Carlyle: I'm sorry, l... I just can't stop shaking. Huh, I can't... I'm sorry. Abigail Carlyle: Mr. Monk? You have to promise me one thing. You won't tell the police. If you do they'll kill him. Adrian Monk: I don't know if I can promise you that. Abigail Carlyle: Do you have children? Adrian Monk: Yes, I have a son. Abigail Carlyle: Well, then you know how I feel. Wouldn't you do anything for him? Wouldn't you die for him? Adrian Monk: Yes, I would.
