Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: Petya must be running late.
Natalie: Yeah, Mr. Monk, I've been doing a little research on your friend Petya. I Googled him. At least I tried to, and there's no record of him anywhere.
Adrian Monk: Natalie, people like Petya. Important people, wealthy people. They are un-Google-able.
Natalie: No, Mr. Monk, it doesn't work like that. It's not like an unlisted phone number.
Adrian Monk: Un-google-able! End of discussion.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Ms. Benson: [to Petya] I know you came here to see Adrian, but there's so much interesting work being done at the school. For example, over there. And, well, look. Here's one example. This is mine. I call it marriage.
Petya Lovak: No, no, I'm sorry, not even close.
Adrian Monk: The lines are all squiggly. You have to make them straighter. Try using a ruler.
Ms. Benson: A ruler?!

Quote from Adrian Monk

Captain Stottlemeyer: Just not with a paint brush, that's for damn sure. Hey, how about stamp collector? That's a nice hobby. You get a little book, you put on the stamps in there, you line them all up.
Adrian Monk: Could arrange them by color it close.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yes, you could. You could arrange them any way you'd like. It's a hobby, after all.
