Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Is At Your Service
Bobby Davenport: Now, now. He's a good man.
Peggy Davenport: You know, that poor boy. He's been through so much. I mean, you heard what happened with his parents. It's the most incredible story. They died within ten minutes of each other.
Adrian Monk: Within ten minutes?
Peggy Davenport: Yeah, it was about a year ago. Ralph and Camilla, that's Paul's stepmother, were driving home, and they were in his little sports car. That one he brought over from England.
Bobby Davenport: It was a Morgan, a beautiful machine. Ralph collected antique cars.
Peggy Davenport: Yeah, well, anyway, they never made it home. It was about 8:30 at night. And they were coming around that dangerous curve at the end of Sweeney Road. The one with the big rock.
Adrian Monk: I think we passed it when we were coming up. Isn't there a sign that says slow down?
Peggy Davenport: Obviously Ralph ignored that because the police said he had to be doing at least 80.
Bobby Davenport: Let's say that this is the car. All right? Now, this is Ralph, and this is Camilla. Now, they come speeding around that curve. They hit the guard rail. And Camilla wasn't wearing a seat belt, goes flying and Hits her head on the big rock.
Peggy Davenport: Honey, don't use the pate.
Bobby Davenport: That is not pate, darling. That is the big rock. And then Ralph calls 911 on his cell.
Peggy Davenport: Oh, it gets worse. He had a heart attack right there on the phone.
Bobby Davenport: While he's calling for help.
Adrian Monk: So the road curves to the right. And she was thrown from the car?
Bobby Davenport: Yeah, like this.
Adrian Monk: But if it was a Morgan, a British car, then then she would have been sitting on the left. So how did she hit the rock?

Adrian Monk: I've divided the house into four zones.
Susie: Mr. Stilson usually just has us start in the kitchen.
Adrian Monk: Mr. Stilson is no longer with us. So from now on, we're going to be cleaning the house my way. The Monk way.
Susie: Who's Monk?
Adrian Monk: You see, I grew up in a monastery. And the monks were very demanding. We were cleaning constantly. Mostly dusting. It was very dusty. Crypts, catacombs. It was holy dust. But still... You know, dust. That is the Monk way.
Paul Buchanan: Well, you heard the man. We'll be doing it the Monk way.

Captain Stottlemeyer: As a butler?
Lieutenant Disher: A house manager. They prefer house manager.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Why?
Adrian Monk: I'm good at it.
Captain Stottlemeyer: No, you're good at this. You're good at being a cop.
Adrian Monk: Really? The department doesn't seem to think so.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Oh, I get it. Those sons of bitches and the hiring freeze. Look, Monk, I told you I am working on that, okay? Just give me a little more time.
Adrian Monk: It's too late, Captain. I've moved on. It's a new dawn.
Lieutenant Disher: What about Natalie?
Adrian Monk: I'm hoping that Natalie will remain in my employ. There is a position opening up in the kitchen. Speaking of kitchens, I really must get back. I have a duck in the oven that's not going to braise itself. And the master is very particular about that sort of thing. [exits]
