Quote from Dr. Kroger in Mr. Monk and the Big Reward
Adrian Monk: When I was on the force, I used to hate cashing my paycheck. I still do. To me, police work is like a higher calling. Like the priesthood. Dr. Kroger: You know, Adrian, even priests have to get paid. But it brings up an interesting question. Something I would like to explore with you. What would you do if you had a million dollars? Adrian Monk: Well, uh, I guess I'd hire you full time. And keep you on retainer. 24/7. Maybe I'd buy you a house right next to mine. So I could just drop in anytime. This is fun. What would you do with a million dollars? Dr. Kroger: Buy an island. A desert island in the middle of nowhere. Adrian Monk: So we would do our sessions over the phone? Dr. Kroger: [chuckles] Well, see, this island, in my mind... No phone service. Adrian Monk: Well, I guess I'd have to buy a boat. Dr. Kroger: No, see, that's funny, because, the island, in my fantasy... No dock.
