Adrian Monk Quote #1155
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Astronaut
Adrian Monk: Here's what happened. Before he left, Wagner must've gone to Joanne's house. He drugged her but not enough to kill her. Just enough to knock her out for a couple of days. Then he built a machine, a murder machine, a machine that would hang her on Wednesday long after he was gone.
Natalie: What kind of machine?
Adrian Monk: A garage door opener. He left her there drugged. Probably tied up. And then took off into space with the whole world watching. Mr. Monk, what are you doing?
Adrian Monk: I don't know.
Security Guard: They're at ramp two. He's handling the missiles.
Natalie: No, no, no, no. Those are missiles. They could be nuclear weapons!
Adrian Monk: Then stop me for the love of God.
Natalie: I don't understand. She died on Wednesday. How did he activate the machine?
Adrian Monk: It was so simple, it was brilliant! He used a remote control. He taped it or glued it down so it stayed on. Then he put the remote control inside one of those dolls. Then he mailed it to her own house second day mail.
Natalie: Second day mail? Wednesday morning.
Adrian Monk: Exactly. It was like a time bomb. The mail man delivered the remote control, put it on the front porch. On the other side of that door, she was being strangled.
Natalie: Oh, my God. But they found her in the living room!
Adrian Monk: After he landed, Wagner went back to her house. He dismantled the machine and moved her body into the other room. It was a perfect plan except for one thing. The doll was missing. He must've panicked. He went back there again today to find it. He knows that remote could tie him to the murder. His fingerprints are all over 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.
Dr. Kroger: Adrian, Steve Wagner is a human being. And if he's guilty, I know something he's very much afraid of.
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.
