Quote from Natalie

Natalie: No, is that the time? I have to go, I have to meet Mr. Monk at the crime lab.
T.K. Jensen: God, how do you do it?
Natalie: Do what?
T.K. Jensen: Your job. How do you live with it? The blood, the anger, the victims. How do you get used to it?
Natalie: Oh, well, I'm not used to it. I hope I never am.
T.K. Jensen: Don't tell Leland but after the break-in last week, I didn't sleep for two days.
Stephanie Briggs: Honey.
T.K. Jensen: I'm serious. I don't know if I can be a cop's wife.

Adrian Monk: Be there or be square.

Quote from Lieutenant Disher

Adrian Monk: All right, let's see. We have a work boot, size 12 1/3, maybe 13. So he was tall. And slightly bowlegged. The wear on the heel, it's uneven.
Captain Stottlemeyer: You getting this down, Randy?
Lieutenant Disher: Yes, sir.
Adrian Monk: What is this? Thorn. There's no break. I think it was cut. And this, what is that? It's green styrofoam.
Lieutenant Disher: I'll send this down to the lab.
Captain Stottlemeyer: We're in the lab.
Lieutenant Disher: Then I'll just put it right there.

Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer

Captain Stottlemeyer: Truth is, I might not be needing that ring after all. T.K.'s having second thoughts about the wedding. Buyer's remorse.
Adrian Monk: What? What happened?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, the break-in at my house really spooked her. It was just a B and E, some kid, didn't take anything, probably a junkie looking for my piece. Now I can't bring it in the house.
Lieutenant Disher: Wow.
Captain Stottlemeyer: New rule, I have to leave the gun in the car. Monk, for god's sake, would you leave it alone?
Adrian Monk: Green styrofoam. He was a florist.

Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer

Captain Stottlemeyer: Sorry I'm late. You okay? You're shaking.
T.K. Jensen: Somebody just called me, and he said he ransacked your place, and he said he'd be back.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Just now on this phone? Let me see. Did you recognize the voice?
T.K. Jensen: No, it was weird. It was mechanical.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Electronic filter, could've been anybody. Comptel. It was a pay phone.
T.K. Jensen: He knew my name.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Don't worry about it. It's no big deal. Just some creep having fun. I'll take care of it tomorrow.

Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer

Captain Stottlemeyer: Look, there's no way I'mgonna leave you tonight.
T.K. Jensen: I'm fine. I'll go to the office, I've got a lot of work to do anyway. And there's 20 people there, I'll be fine. You have to go.
Captain Stottlemeyer: No.
T.K. Jensen: This means the world to Adrian. He's been planning it all week.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Okay, I'll go. Besides, the party's at Monk's house, it'll be over by 9:00.

Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer

Adrian Monk: You're right. Let's break out the booze. And everybody gets a beer.
First cop: Hold on, only 12 bottles?
Adrian Monk: [counts] Everybody gets a beer.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Gentlemen, here's the situation. We've got 12 bottles, which is 144 fluid ounces. Which is enough for each of us to get a little sleepy.
Adrian Monk: Yeah!
Captain Stottlemeyer: Or for one of us to get good and polluted.
First cop: Designated drunk. Hey, I love the idea.
Lieutenant Disher: I'll get drunk.
Captain Stottlemeyer: All right. We've started a new wedding tradition, a tradition that I hope is never repeated.
