Quote from Adrian Monk

Dr. Kroger: All right, why don't we just start with a basic one? Fear of heights.
Adrian Monk: Okay. Heights.
Dr. Kroger: Heights.
Adrian Monk: Let's do it.
Dr. Kroger: Okay, good. Let's get up on the roof right now.
Adrian Monk: Wait. Whoa. Okay. Wait, wait. All right, wait, sit.
Dr. Kroger: I'll sit.
Adrian Monk: Sit down.
Dr. Kroger: Okay, I'm down. Sitting down.
Adrian Monk: Not, I'm not ready. For that. Let's, let's just build up to it gradually. Here's what. Why don't we sit here and, uh, name really tall things. I'll go first. The Sears tower. Oh, wait, wait, wait. No. That's too tall. Um, not the Sears tower. Just a regular Sears maybe. Just a regular Sears. Department store.
Dr. Kroger: Adrian, why don't we work on your phobias another time, okay?
Adrian Monk: Okay.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: She's in the house. He was up there in space. Circling the Earth.
Natalie: Maybe he had an accomplice.
Adrian Monk: No. We have statements from all of the neighbors. There were no visitors, no cars. She was definitely alone. Somehow he killed her from up there.
Natalie: Well, she collected a lot of dolls. Lot of really ugly dolls.
Adrian Monk: Natalie. Holes. How did we miss that? They were drilled recently.
Natalie: So? She wasn't killed out there. She was killed in here.
Adrian Monk: She was found in there. She could've been killed someplace else.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Natalie: Speak of the devil.
Steve Wagner: Sorry. I didn't know anyone was here.
Adrian Monk: Are you looking for something?
Steve Wagner: I wanted a flower from her garden. She loved this garden. I cared for the girl. I won't deny that.
Natalie: You came a long way to pick a flower.
Steve Wagner: Actually, I was heading up here anyway. I have a test flight at Paxton in a couple of hours. Now it's your turn. What are you doing here?
Adrian Monk: I'm investigating Joanne's murder.
Steve Wagner: Her suicide.
Adrian Monk: It was murder. I think we both know that.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Darrell Cain: He is good people.
Adrian Monk: Yeah. He is good people.
Darrell Cain: Hey, how well do you know him?
Adrian Monk: Well enough to wonder what he's doing.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Sergeant: Paulie! Why is this garage door open?
Paulie: Don't know, Serge. Opened by itself. Maybe we installed it wrong.
Darrell Cain: [to Monk] I got the same problem with my garage. It's like an epidemic.
Adrian Monk: Natalie, I know how he did it. I know how he killed her! It's all about the garage doors.
Natalie: It is?
Benny: Dad.
Donna: Daddy!
Adrian Monk: Where's Mr. Wagner?
Benny: He left. He said he was late for something.
Natalie: What's wrong, sweetie?
Benny: The astronaut took her doll.
Natalie: He took her doll?
Adrian Monk: That's it! Natalie, it's all about the doll!
Natalie: You just said it was all about the garage door.
Adrian Monk: It's about the doll and the garage door. It's about both.

Quote from Natalie

Adrian Monk: Mr. Cain, where did you get that doll?
Darrell Cain: I...
Adrian Monk: Come on. You stole it, didn't you? It was in a box sitting on Joanne's front porch. And you took it just like you took the fruit of month box.
Darrell Cain: It was sitting there for three days, all right? I figured she wasn't home.
Natalie: You're a horrible neighbor.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: Excuse me! Hi.
Natalie: Hey, nice ride.
Adrian Monk: Hi. Listen, we're looking for Steve Wagner.
Mechanic: He may be on the flight line. I think they just cleared him for takeoff.
Natalie: Great. We'd love to watch. Which way?
Mechanic: You can't miss him. He's in the brand-new FA-22.
Adrian Monk: Uh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, hi. Hello, again. Could you settle a bet? My friend and I were wondering if, uh, somebody could drop anything out of the cockpit of an FA-22. Of course, I say no way.
Natalie: Of course you can.
Mechanic: Like what?
Adrian Monk: Uh, you know, a Japanese doll.
Natalie: About this big.
Mechanic: Well, there's an air lock. Like a chute to drop flares and emergency transmitters.
Adrian Monk: I owe you one. Go figure.
Natalie: Thank you. That's unbelievable.
Adrian Monk: You win that one.
Mechanic: Wait a second. Hey, where's your escort?
Adrian Monk: Just go, go, go!

Quote from Adrian Monk


Natalie: Oh, sweetie. I'm gonna get the camera.
Adrian Monk: Well, I... Julie, thank you. I, um, thank you. Wait, wait a minute. What is that? A pin?
Julie Teeger: Yeah, it's okay. I'll be careful.
Adrian Monk: Don't, don't- Wait, wait. That- That- You know, that- That can puncture the skin. People get infected. I'll just hold it. How about that? That's just as good.
Natalie: Okay. Smile. You too, Rambo.
Julie Teeger: Wait, look. It says courage.
Adrian Monk: Yeah. I see that. I see that. Take- Take the picture. No flash. No flash. Retinal scarring.
