Adrian Monk Quote #1146
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Astronaut
Steve Wagner: Here you are. Our brave centurion. I liked your speech. Especially the little dance number at the end.
Natalie: Those laser pointers can be very dangerous.
Steve Wagner: Yeah. They're a real menace. I hear you've been checking up on me. Calling Joanne's family.
Her publisher. Turning over rocks. If you want to talk to me, let's talk right now, man to muss.
Adrian Monk: Did you hit her?
Steve Wagner: Hit who?
Adrian Monk: Joanne. Did you hit her so hard that she woke up in the hospital?
Steve Wagner: I wouldn't repeat that, Mr. Monk. That's slander. Besides, who would believe it?
Adrian Monk: That's why you killed her, isn't it? Because she was about to go public. She was about to tell the truth about you.
Steve Wagner: You're a sad little man. I can't believe you and I breathe the same air. I was on a space ship, Mr.
Monk, circling the Earth with my crew. Why doesn't that satisfy?
Adrian Monk: Am I making you nervous?
Steve Wagner: Never. You know why? [clicks fingers] See? You flinched. See, you're a flincher. You'll never stop me because when the chips are down, when it really counts, you are always going to flinch.
Assistant: Sir, sorry to interrupt. We have to go.
Steve Wagner: Would you excuse us? The governor's waiting.
Natalie: [to Monk] My God. You were right. He killed her. That was almost a confession. But how? How did he do it?

Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Lieutenant Disher: I think I know how Wagner did it. Okay. This is the ship. And let's pretend this globe represents the Earth.
Captain Stottlemeyer: That's a globe. It does represent the Earth.
Lieutenant Disher: Right. Okay. Here's what happened. First part was easy. He takes off. As he passes over San Francisco, he activates the escape pod.
Adrian Monk: Well, wait. Uh, wait. Uh, was- Was there an escape pod on the ship?
Lieutenant Disher: No. Not officially. But I think he smuggled one on.
Natalie: And where did he get it, the escape pod?
Lieutenant Disher: He built it.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah. Out of a kit in his basement.
Lieutenant Disher: He's resourceful. Anyway. Splashdown. He climbs out of the pod, makes his way to her house, kills her, climbs back onto the pod, fires up the engines, back in space.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Thank you, Randy. That's-
Lieutenant Disher: It's just a theory.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I don't think so. No. I've heard theories before and, uh, they don't sound like that.
Quote from Dr. Kroger
Adrian Monk: [sighs] When I when I look at a man, a real man, like Steve Wagner... I just feel weak. I just feel so inadequate. I know he's guilty. But I'll never be able to prove it.

Adrian Monk: What's that?
Dr. Kroger: You.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Adrian Monk: Career day. What would I talk about?
Natalie: Your career. Your job. [Monk groans] Oh, come on, Mr. Monk. It would mean so much to Julie.
Adrian Monk: Yeah. I can't do it. I'm sorry. I can't speak in public.
Natalie: See, that's not true. Remember when I first started working for you and you made that list of all your fears and phobias. There were 103 things. Public speaking wasn't one of them.
Adrian Monk: Actually, there were a couple of things that I didn't mention. I didn't want you to think I was weird.
