Quote from Lieutenant Disher

Lieutenant Disher: Did you hear anything? I mean, anybody yelling or screaming for help?
Natalie: Yeah, me. Does it ever get to you? Seeing people dead?
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, it did for a while. But I got used to it.
Natalie: That must be awful. Getting used to it.
Lieutenant Disher: You know, it was pretty awful. But I got used to it. It's the worst part, you know. Getting used to it. Something you never really get used to.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: It's not straight.
Natalie: Ha! The bubble's right in the middle.
Adrian Monk: The level's broken.
Natalie: The level is not broken, Mr. Monk. It can't be broken. It's a bubble on a stick. You have two levels?
Adrian Monk: I use this level to check the other levels. It's my level-checking level.
Julie Teeger: How do you know that one's not broken?
Adrian Monk: That's a good question. I take my level-checking level to the hardware store twice a year to have it recalibrated.

Quote from Natalie

Reggie Dennison: The pizza box with my prints on it. What was it in? A carton, a bag, or what?
Natalie: My boss recycled it. He separates everything into piles exactly 20 inches high. Then he puts each pile into a green, double-ply trash bag, which he double-tapes shut. Then he puts that bag into another bag, which he wraps with twine four times counterclockwise and ties each end twice. Once he's completed that...
Reggie Dennison: Are you screwing with me?
Natalie: No, I swear. He's very persnickety.

Adrian Monk: It's Ebola.
Natalie: Excuse me?
Adrian Monk: I have the Ebola virus.
Natalie: Mr. Monk, you don't have the Ebola virus.
Adrian Monk: Oh, I'm pretty sure I do. I have all the symptoms. I have the fever and the headache and the massive internal bleeding.
Natalie: You have massive internal bleeding?
Adrian Monk: I believe I do. That is my opinion.
Natalie: No, Mr. Monk, you have the flu. But I'm glad you called. I'm talking to Mr. Gorman. He's the manager. Hold on.
Mr. Gorman: [takes phone] Hello. I don't know. I think they're in Atlanta.
Natalie: What's he talking about?
Mr. Gorman: He's asking about the Center for Disease Control.

Adrian Monk: Whoa, uh, Oakley Inn? Oakley Inn. Natalie, is, is this guy a lawyer?
Natalie: Okay now, how did you know that? I smell something. It's bleach. Okay, I'm in the bathroom. He must have just cleaned it. It smells like... It smells like your bathroom.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: How did the killer get him to stop? There are no houses here. No store fronts here.

Adrian Monk: Julie, there's a pad in that second drawer. Can you get the pad and pen? Write down everything I say.
Julie Teeger: Is it a letter?
Adrian Monk: No, it's not exactly a letter. It's what we grownups call a living will.
