Adrian Monk Quote #1215
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Actor
Adrian Monk: Is there a problem?
David Ruskin: Yeah. Yeah, there's a problem. It's my performance. Just today. It was just crap. I don't have it.
Adrian Monk: You don't have what?
David Ruskin: You. I mean, I don't... I don't have you. I mean, I have you. I have your tics and your mannerisms and all that little like... You know, like little tic-tic-tic-tic-tic. But that doesn't mean anything. You know, that's nothing. That's just all, you know- What is that, right? It's not the thing. It's just, like, surface tension. It's like, it's not the thing. It's not the... The heart. The why. I need to know the why. How long have you lived here?
Adrian Monk: [stutters]
David Ruskin: Okay. See, here we go. This is it. See, here's the thing. I want you to take me to Monk school. And this is what I need. I need you to teach me. I mean, you have all these compulsions. And these, you know, these phobias. But it would cripple most people. You- I mean, you keep going. How do you- Sit down, relax. How do you do it? Why don't you stop? Why do you do it? I need to know why do you do it?
Adrian Monk: Uh... My job.
David Ruskin: No, that's not it. That's what I thought too, but that is not it.

Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Lieutenant Disher: How you doin'? We were looking at this case all wrong. It wasn't a burglary. It was all about the wall. The whole time. Here's what happened. The killer was in here last Thursday night. This is where he met Michelle Cullman. They have an artist in here a few nights a week sketching the customers. He drew their picture right there on the wall. After the murder, the killer remembered the sketch. That sketch could hang him. It could prove that he was with the victim the night she died. And it would prove what he was wearing. The same shirt we found at the murder scene. He had to destroy that sketch. So he smashed through the wall and pretended it was part of a burglary. He just pretended to be breaking into a pawn shop. It was never about the pawnshop.
Female Cop: I know.
Lieutenant Disher: You know?
Female Cop: I was here ten minutes ago when Monk was explaining it to you.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Dr. Kroger: That must have been a traumatic experience for you, Adrian. And what, they cancelled the movie?

Dr. Kroger: How about the little getaway you were planning? The weekend away? [off Monk's look] All right, okay. Maybe another time.
Adrian Monk: I guess I'm back to square one. Oh, it's nice to be home.
