Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: How's Troy doing?
Dr. Kroger: He's much better. Thank you for asking. You know, he... He came downstairs this morning whistling. [chuckles] Opens up the curtains and says, "What a beautiful day." I said, "Is that my son?" [both chuckle]
Adrian Monk: Sounds like he has a whole new attitude. I think his schoolwork is gonna start improving too.
Dr. Kroger: Yeah, well, I hope you're right.
Adrian Monk: I know I'm right.
Dr. Kroger: Well, I hope so.
Adrian Monk: I know so.
Dr. Kroger: Time will tell.
Adrian Monk: Yes. It will.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Captain Stottlemeyer: Yesterday, Thursday, we find one of them in a parking lot dead as dust.
Natalie: From the gunshot?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Nope, this is the other guy. Mr. Black Ski Mask. It was a heart attack, one cheeseburger too many. We found blood in the backseat. No body. No footprints. And no money.
Adrian Monk: Double cross?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Maybe. Or somebody else found him. Could have been some kids, hanging out, skateboarding. We traced the car. Mr. Black's name was Tony Gammalobo. Single. 47 years old. Lives in Daly City. Did four years in Arizona. Ring a bell?
Adrian Monk: He was 47?
[flashback:]
Clerk: There's no way you're 47.
Pez: I'm totally 47.
[present:]
Adrian Monk: You you said there were kids.
Captain Stottlemeyer: It's possible. We're checking it out.
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, whoever it was, they cleaned him out. They got his cell phone, wallet, everything.
Adrian Monk: What kind of cell phone?
Lieutenant Disher: It was a... We found the charger. Yeah, it was a Motorola.
Adrian Monk: What- What do they look like?
Lieutenant Disher: I've got the same model. It's in my pocket.
Natalie: [shows Disher's phone to Monk] You okay?
Adrian Monk: I- I just remembered something. I have to go.
Captain Stottlemeyer: You're leaving?
Adrian Monk: Yeah, I'm sorry. I have to talk to Troy about something.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: What's the name - of the pirate in Treasure Island?
Troy Kroger: Excuse me?
Adrian Monk: Tell me one thing about Treasure Island. [the boys are silent] You never read it, did you? There was no assignment. Where did you get the map?
Troy Kroger: Listen, let's just relax, okay?
Adrian Monk: You found it in a car next to a body. This is not a game. Troy. A man was killed in that bank.
Ridley: Hey, man, we can explain.
Troy Kroger: Yeah.
Adrian Monk: Go ahead.
Ridley: Not now, I mean, we need a few days.
Troy Kroger: Are you gonna tell the cops?
Adrian Monk: I don't have to tell the cops. l am the cops.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Troy Kroger: Can you see okay?
Adrian Monk: I'm fine. I'm fine.
Troy Kroger: Look, it's just gravel. It's not gonna kill you.
Adrian Monk: Huh. Gravel, yeah. I'm fine. Thank you, Troy.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: But that is not the right place. According to the map, it should have been over there. In line with that shed.
Troy Kroger: Yeah, but the X was here, so we dug here.
Adrian Monk: Think about it. Why would they bury $2 million and then leave a giant X marking the spot? They're bank robbers. That doesn't make any sense.
Troy Kroger: There wasn't $2 million when we dug that hole. We only pulled out, like, five grand.
Adrian Monk: $5,000? Are you sure?
Troy Kroger: Yeah, we counted it, like, a hundred times. We figured that the bank just said that to rip off the insurance company. Everybody does it. Yeah, like, when my house got robbed, my dad said we had a rare coin collection.
Adrian Monk: He did?

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: What- What is this?
Troy Kroger: Calls he received.
Adrian Monk: Jack Connelly. And Steven Connelly? Four, five... Calls from the bank. From the bank. Oh, my God.
Troy Kroger: What?
Adrian Monk: Troy, I know what happened. [sobbing] Yay. I just solved the case.

Quote from Natalie

Ridley: Hey, I was just thinking about you.
Natalie: Well, don't. I mean it, Ridley.
Ridley: Well, you can't stop somebody from thinking about somebody.
Natalie: Yes I can. Don't think about me again.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Troy Kroger: Wait, wait, wait, I got an idea.
Adrian Monk: What- What are you doing?
Troy Kroger: Trust me.
Adrian Monk: Help!
Troy Kroger: I've got two 12-inch subwoofers and 1,600 watts worth of power back there, man. I'm gonna blow this thing up. Yes.
Adrian Monk: No. Oh, no, please, God, no. No, not that crap. Don't you have anything else?
Troy Kroger: This'll be good.
Adrian Monk: Oh, no.

Quote from Lieutenant Disher

Captain Stottlemeyer: What are you doing?
Lieutenant Disher: You hear that?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Hear what?
Lieutenant Disher: Turn the car off. Come here, come here. Do you hear that?
Natalie: I know that song. Oh, my God, it's Troy.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Down there. Randy, call it in. Call it in. Get a crane down here. We're gonna need some paramedics. Monk. Monk, we're coming.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: You can turn off the music now.
Natalie: It is off. It's been off for over an hour.
Adrian Monk: That's what I'm saying, I can still hear it. It's terrible.
Natalie: Oh, Mr. Monk, that music saved your life.
