Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Garbage Strike
Adrian Monk: [joins chant] Union! Union! [talks] My name- My name is Adrian Monk. I- I am not technically a sanitation worker. Although, I have always felt like one in spirit. I recognize a lot of you. Ronnie, Morris. Union Vice President: Excuse me, sir? We appreciate your support. But this is a closed meeting. Adrian Monk: I- I won't be long. I just wanted to say, you've made your point. Congratulations! We get it now. You can all go back to work. Union! Union Vice President: Now, w-w-wait a minute. What about our contract? Adrian Monk: Okay, I know money is important. Man: Damn right. Adrian Monk: But, that's not why you guys became garbage men, is it? You're doing God's work out there. You're keeping the streets clean for the people. Right? You do it - say it with me -f or the people. Well, let me tell you something. The people are suffering. The people- People are going a little nuts out there. The people can't wash the stink off their hands. The people are having trouble sleeping. People woke up this morning at 5:00. couldn't get back to sleep because... Smelled like a buffalo had died in the people's closets!
