Adrian Monk Quote #1114
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Big Reward
Lieutenant Disher: You were right. I get this guy in the room, he's denying everything. He's twitching, he's nervous. I threaten to get a search warrant and tear his house apart. I pick up the phone, I start to dial, he collapses. He gave it all up. Crystal meth lab in his basement. Narcotics is on their way over. I owe you one.
Adrian Monk: Okay. [off Natalie's look] What?
Natalie: You know what.
Adrian Monk: Oh, the thing? About the ice cream and the free scoops?
Natalie: That's right.

Quote from Dr. Kroger
Adrian Monk: When I was on the force, I used to hate cashing my paycheck. I still do. To me, police work is like a higher calling. Like the priesthood.
Dr. Kroger: You know, Adrian, even priests have to get paid. But it brings up an interesting question. Something I would like to explore with you. What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Adrian Monk: Well, uh, I guess I'd hire you full time. And keep you on retainer. 24/7. Maybe I'd buy you a house right next to mine. So I could just drop in anytime. This is fun. What would you do with a million dollars?
Dr. Kroger: Buy an island. A desert island in the middle of nowhere.
Adrian Monk: So we would do our sessions over the phone?
Dr. Kroger: [chuckles] Well, see, this island, in my mind... No phone service.
Adrian Monk: Well, I guess I'd have to buy a boat.
Dr. Kroger: No, see, that's funny, because, the island, in my fantasy... No dock.

Adrian Monk: Sixteen a year? What- What about after that?
