Adrian Monk Quote #1355
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Class Reunion
[flashback:]
Younger Trudy: Excuse me. Hello. I can't find a book. This is not the Dewey Decimal System that I know and love. Do you work here?
Younger Adrian: Yes, I- Yes, I do. Uh, here's the thing. We're reorganizing. And we're- We're moving all the stacks upstairs. What are you looking for?
Younger Trudy: This is a long shot. Trevor Rosenthal's biography of Alexander Pope. Volume two.
[Monk walks over to an unorganized pile of books and returns with the biography]
Younger Trudy: How did you do that?
Younger Adrian: I saw it last week.
Younger Trudy: And you remembered?
Younger Adrian: If I see something once, I never forget it.
Younger Trudy: That sounds pretty awful. My bad memory is my salvation.
Younger Adrian: "Thus let me live, unseen, unknown. Thus unlamented, let me die..."
Younger Trudy: "Steal from the world and not a stone tell where I lie." You know Alexander Pope. So you never forget anything? For example, you're never gonna forget this? Me, us talking right now?

Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Lieutenant Disher: Captain? I tracked down Kalimarakis. I don't think he's our guy. Number one, it turns out he was allowed to join the Olympic swim team as an alternate. He, uh, got a waiver.
Captain Stottlemeyer: So there's no motive.
Lieutenant Disher: Right. Number two, he's dead. He died in 1995. And number three, he moved to Europe in the late '80s. So there's no record of him ever returning-
Captain Stottlemeyer: Randy. Randy, excuse me. I'm sorry to interrupt you but could you read number two again?
Lieutenant Disher: Okeydoke. He's dead.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Right. See, I probably would have stopped reading after number two. In fact, I would have read number two first.
Lieutenant Disher: You would have switched 'em?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah. But that's just me. And probably every other adult on the planet Earth.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Adrian Monk: You had a girlfriend with short red hair.
Todd: Belinda.
Adrian Monk: Yeah.
Todd: Yeah, yeah. She and I, we got married. But, uh, she passed away.
Adrian Monk: Oh, my wife died too. Trudy Ellison. Yeah.
Todd: It's tough, huh? But you just have to move on.
Adrian Monk: No, we can't move on. We can try, but we'll never get past it. It's unrelenting. All we can do is live out our days alone in hopeless, quiet desperation.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Adrian Monk: Natalie, I think I've seen enough. Let's just go.
Natalie: No, I'm not gonna let you go. You've been looking so forward to this.
Adrian Monk: I don't know what I was thinking. These people weren't my friends. Okay? They don't even remember me. The truth is, I was invisible. It was Trudy they loved. I was always just the guy with Trudy. Just like you're the girl with me.
Natalie: Mr. Monk, why is your name on the spit shield?
Adrian Monk: Oh, when I was here, there was nothing protecting the food.
Natalie: So you donated all of these? That is so generous of you.
Adrian Monk: Well, actually, it was more of a lawsuit. Took up a lot of my spare time.
