Quote from Adrian Monk

Abby: Hey, Sherlock Holmes. Come here. We're trying to figure out who did this.
Adrian Monk: This is a human caucasian buttocks.
Greg: Yeah.
Abby: Yeah, we know. But whose caucasian buttocks?
Greg: Gotta be Chilton.
Chilton Handy: Go to hell.
Adrian Monk: Uh, no, this is Ben.
Frances: Real mature, Ben!
Ben: [laughs]
Abby: How'd you know?
Adrian Monk: Well, the staples go out, not in. Ben's is the only stapler in the office set to do that.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: It's louder than I thought it would be.
Natalie: Do you really think that guy killed somebody and broke Warren Kemp's hand just to win a bowling trophy?
Adrian Monk: I know it's crazy, but look at him. He's completely obsessed. And not in a good way, like me. Plus, he's a toothpick chewer.
Natalie: Does he have an alibi for Monday night?
Adrian Monk: Good question.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Abby: Adrian, you're up.
Adrian Monk: Me?
Abby: We need someone to fill in for Mr. Kemp. Why do you think we asked you to come?
Adrian Monk: Because I'm one of the gang.
Abby: Here's your shirt. Find a ball.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: Hey, did you watch that comedy show on TV Monday night?
Chilton Handy: What?
Adrian Monk: Oh, it was about this family that argued all the time, and the father was always wrong. You could hear the audience laugh. So you knew it was funny.
Chilton Handy: I missed it.
Adrian Monk: Where were you?
Chilton Handy: Pardon me?
Adrian Monk: Monday night, did you go out?
Chilton Handy: Are you a cop?
Adrian Monk: No.
Chilton Handy: Then I don't have to talk to you, do I?

Quote from Natalie

Natalie: Mr. Monk, we need to talk.
Adrian Monk: Natalie, look at this. Chilton has an alibi. He was here Monday night. He bowled a 294. I don't know what to think.
Natalie: Well, I think Warren Kemp's involved.
Adrian Monk: What?
Natalie: Maybe the SEC was right. That it's an inside job. Now, I do not trust that guy.
Adrian Monk: Well, I thought we liked him. I thought we liked him a lot.
Natalie: Well, we don't. You know what? I'll just meet you outside. I gotta get some air.

Quote from Lieutenant Disher

Lieutenant Disher: We recovered the bullets, . 45 caliber. They're comparing it now. Something else, too, sir. It's pretty big. Don't worry, you don't have to sit down. I mean, you can sit. I mean, sit or stand.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Can I walk away?
Lieutenant Disher: I'll just tell you. The victim, Angela Dirks, she was an interior designer. We found some recent invoices. Guess what? She was working for Pross Financial Services.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Natalie: There's gotta be a connection, don't you think? [Monk is silent] Mr. Monk?
Adrian Monk: That was our table. We ate nachos.
Natalie: You ate nachos?
Adrian Monk: No. But I pretended to. And then later, Ben made a copy of his Caucasian buttocks. Which was very funny. Although I don't know exactly why.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: Uh-oh, what is that?
Natalie: What?
Adrian Monk: There's, there's something, is that a hair?
Natalie: Where? No, it's okay. It's just celery.
Adrian Monk: [grins] Natalie. I think I know what happened.
Natalie: What?
Adrian Monk: I solved the case!
Natalie: Why are you talking like that?
Adrian Monk: You see that guy by the window? The guy in the green jacket. When I said there was something in your soup, he reacted. He looked at his soup.
Natalie: His suit?
Adrian Monk: His soup, soup!
Natalie: Well, maybe he heard you.
Adrian Monk: No, he couldn't have. He must have read my lips. He can read lips! That explains everything.
Natalie: It does?
Adrian Monk: Yeah, he's been sitting at that same table every time I've been in here. He must have been sitting there about a month ago. At some point, he looked out the window, and he saw something. Something worth millions of dollars.
Natalie: What? What did he see?
Adrian Monk: He saw Warren Kemp. He's been reading Warren's lips! From that table. He has a perfect view into Warren's office. Buyouts, mergers, that kind of inside information is worth a fortune. Don't look! Don't. He's staring right at us.
Natalie: I'm sure everyone is, the way you're grinning.
Adrian Monk: That's okay. He'll just think we're in love.
Natalie: You don't look like you're in love. You look like somebody who's had some sort of industrial accident.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Natalie: Here, just I don't get it. Why would he break Warren's hand?
Adrian Monk: [covers mouth with a menu] Because Warren redecorated his office last week. Remember? You noticed it yourself.
Natalie: Yeah.
Adrian Monk: He turned his desk around, so that when he held the phone in his right hand, he was blocking his mouth. Somehow he had to get Warren to switch hands.
Natalie: That's what all this is about? So he would hold the phone in the other hand?
Natalie: Why would he kill the decorator?
Adrian Monk: [holds cup to his mouth] She was planning to put curtains up, remember? That would have ruined everything. Oh, my God. Here he comes.
Natalie: Mr. Monk, with this mirror, he could have been reading my lips.
Man: Think you figured something out, huh? What do you say we all take a walk outside and talk about it?

Quote from Adrian Monk

Natalie: I'm gonna grab the gun.
Man: I can hear you. I was born deaf, but I'm okay now. Modern science. Now let's go.
Natalie: Okay, okay, we're going, we're going. But you're making a huge mistake. Do you know who this man is? He's... [screams in his ear]
Adrian Monk: [grabs the gun] All right, don't move! Stay where you are! Don't worry. It's okay. I used to be a cop.
Natalie: I'm calling the captain.
Adrian Monk: Now, wait, wait. Could you- Could you first call Mr. Wok's?
Natalie: Why?
Adrian Monk: That's where the gang is eating. I'd really love them to see this.
