Quote from Adrian Monk

Natalie: You know, I hope you do get picked. I think it'd be good for you.
Adrian Monk: Don't say that.
Natalie: You know, you work with different kinds of people. You know, you listen to their opinions, argue, compromise.
Adrian Monk: Thank you, Natalie. I, I know you mean well. I'd rather be sucked out of an airplane window.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: I'm gonna need you all to be quiet.
Cobb: Yeah, you get quiet.
Teacher: Quiet!
Adrian Monk: I'm gonna walk around now. And pace back and forth. Then, when I'm ready, I'll tell you the solution. That's how it works.
Teacher: No. No way. You're not alone here. You have to talk to us. Tell us what you're thinking.
Adrian Monk: That's not how I do it. I have a system. It's a gift and a curse. Here's the thing, I don't like working with partners.
Foreman: Well, like it or not, you've got 11 partners now.
