Adrian Monk Quote #892
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Other Detective
Adrian Monk: Fine, I will drive myself. I'll rent a car. [picks up phone] See? I am dialing the number. I'm not bluffing.
Natalie: Do you even have a driver's license?
Adrian Monk: Yes, I have a license. Okay, this is it. This is the last digit. I have dialed the number. It is ringing.
Woman: [on the phone] Thank you for calling Cannon rent-a-car. This call may be monitored for quality purposes.
Adrian Monk: I am on hold.
Natalie: Mr. Monk, Fulton College is 100 miles away. It is up the interstate. It's over a bridge.
Adrian Monk: I know. I have a blindfold for going over bridges.
Natalie: But you'll be driving.
Adrian Monk: Good point. I think I can make it. I'll just sort of peek underneath.
Natalie: I'm not gonna let you drive! You've never driven over a bridge in your life.
Adrian Monk: What choice do I have?
Woman: [on the phone] Excuse me. Excuse me, sir?
Adrian Monk: Yes? My daughter goes to Fulton College. You don't have to take the bridge. You can take the causeway all the way up.
Adrian Monk: You could hear us?
Woman: Yes, sir. I'm a quality control operator. I'm monitoring the call.
Adrian Monk: I, I was on hold.
Woman: Yes, sir. We start listening as soon as you're connected. You wouldn't believe the things I hear. People fooling around, people arguing. I could write a book about it.
Adrian Monk: You could hear me while I was on hold.
Woman: That's right.

Quote from Dr. Kroger
Dr. Kroger: No, no, Adrian, I'm not suggesting that you just give up. I'm saying to you that there is always someone ahead of you. This is the human condition. For instance, there, there's a new psychiatrist here in town, name of Lowenstern. Now, I know that there is no way that I will ever be, well, as good as he is. I know this. I accept it.
Adrian Monk: He's better than you?
Dr. Kroger: He's brilliant. Nominated for a Nobel prize. But, the point is, you think that you might enjoy teaching.
Adrian Monk: I don't know. Tell me more about this Lowenstern.
Dr. Kroger: Lowenstern. I could introduce you. Office is right across the street. He charges $400 an hour.
Adrian Monk: ... So where, where were we?
Quote from Adrian Monk
Natalie: Mr. Monk, are you okay? Everybody's waiting.
Adrian Monk: It's over there.
Natalie: What?
Adrian Monk: Dog, you know. Dog doo.
Natalie: Did you step in it?
Adrian Monk: If I stepped in it, I'd be in that ambulance right now on my way to the emergency room, wouldn't I? Praying for the sweet release that only death can bring.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Captain Stottlemeyer: Adrian Monk, Natalie Teeger, this is Marty Eels. He's a private investigator.
Marty Eels: Hey, how you doing? [shakes Monk's hand] How you doing? I hear good things. Good things. Don't worry. I'm not competition. [Natalie hands Monk a wipe] I'm just here to help. Can I have one of those? So what have we got?
Adrian Monk: Captain, I don't think the manager did this. For one thing, he didn't lock the door behind him. Plus, I notice some more blood by the curb. I think there was a second shooting.
Marty Eels: Yeah, he could be right. Very good. Nicely done. Nicely done. [to Natalie] Thanks, sweetheart.
Lieutenant Disher: Captain! He's right. I think he belongs to the store manager. Harold Gumbal. Geary St., Oakland.

Marty Eels: No, that's right. The manager is not the guy.
Adrian Monk: Here's what happ-
Marty Eels: Here's what happened. Here's what happened! This dog was a hostage. The manager was being forced to rob his store. Something went wrong, and they shot the guard. Excuse me.
