Quote from Natalie in Mr. Monk and the Big Reward
Natalie: Mr. Monk? We're rich. We hit the jackpot.
Adrian Monk: Oh, good.
Natalie: Look, it's about the Alexander diamond. Lloyd's of London is offering a $1 million reward to anybody that finds it. No questions asked.
Adrian Monk: So?
Natalie: Mr. Monk, you can find that diamond.
Adrian Monk: Ah, I don't think so.
Natalie: What?
Adrian Monk: You're a great detective. You solve crimes all the time without even trying. It's annoying how many crimes you solve. Come on! Let's go for it. Let's cash in!
Adrian Monk: Natalie, I don't do what I do for money.
Natalie: Mr. Monk, it's a million dollars. You'll never have to worry for the rest of your life. Well, of course, you'll worry. But not about money.
‘Mr. Monk and the Big Reward’ Quotes
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.
Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer
Captain Stottlemeyer: I've got some good news. Sort of consolation prize. I talked to the commissioner. He's gonna put you under contract.
Natalie: Really?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Put you on retainer. He has guaranteed you 16 homicides a year for next two years.
Adrian Monk: Sixteen a year? What- What about after that?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, we'll have to take it one year at a time. We'll see.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Cashier: That's $42.80.
Adrian Monk: Okay, there we go. And I have a coupon.
Cashier: I can't take this, it expired yesterday.
Adrian Monk: Yesterday? Oh, she's right. Darn. Sometimes I wish I had a time machine.
Natalie: Wait, if you had a time machine, you would use it to go back to save 50 cents on Lysol?
Adrian Monk: Yes. Yes, I would.
Natalie: You wouldn't use it to save Abraham Lincoln?
Adrian Monk: Fine, I'll save Lincoln. It never ends with you.
