Hal Tucker: What's going on?
Natalie: That's exactly what we were wondering, Mr. Tucker.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Do you mind telling us why you've been hanging out with Monk?
Hal Tucker: Well, he's a good guy. He's a lot of fun.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I'm gonna ask you one more time, why are you hanging with Monk?
Natalie: You know he doesn't have any money.
Hal Tucker: So what?
Lieutenant Disher: Does he know you have a record? Receiving stolen property.
Hal Tucker: Yeah. Yeah, he knows all about it, and he's cool with it. What's this got to do with you?
Natalie: We love him.
ha:Oh, you do? Then when's the last time you hung out with him, you know, just to hang out, or called him just to talk? He is a great guy. He's odd and funny and brilliant. But you wouldn't know that. I mean, to you, he's just some sort of crime-solving machine. A robot that you wind up and point at a crime scene and let him do your job for you. And to you, he's your funny, quirky boss. That you can make fun of and tell stories about behind his back. What kind of friends are you? If Adrian Monk has a problem, it's not with me.
