Adrian Monk Quote #1960
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Is on the Run (Part Two)
Larry: Rodriguez, how many times have I told you? It doesn't have to be perfect, hombre. You don't have to clean the inside of a cigarette lighter. Nobody cares about the inside of a damn cigarette lighter! Put it down! Rodriguez, the faster we work, the more money we make. Fast, more money. Slow, less money. Comprende? Good. 55, you're all set. Look, Rodriguez, it's not that complicated. Even you can understand. We get paid per car, get it?
Adrian Monk: Per car.
Carlos: Mr. Larry! Larry, relax. You're going to have another stroke. This guy's the best rag man I ever seen. Look at that car. It's better than new. It's like a diamond. When the owner sees it, he gonna love it. He gonna tell all his friends. He's gonna be a customer for life.
Customer: Well, it's about friggin' time. I've been waiting over there 20 minutes. You won't be seeing me again.
Adrian Monk: Have a nice day.
Carlos: Rodriguez, I'm warning you. I'm warning you!

Quote from Adrian Monk
Dale Biederbeck: What did you win, Monk? Nothing! We're both back where we started.
Adrian Monk: Not exactly. The police in Dourados found something in Frank Nunn's apartment. Some old letters. He talked about killing Trudy. He mentioned the man who hired him.
Dale Biederbeck: You have a name!
Adrian Monk: Yeah, not quite. Nunn called him "The Judge."
Dale Biederbeck: The Judge. I can't help you, Adrian.
Adrian Monk: Can't or won't?
Dale Biederbeck: A little lead. How exciting. That should keep you off the street for a while.
Adrian Monk: The important thing is that you're off the street.
Dale Biederbeck: [laughs] You really think these bars can hold me?
Adrian Monk: [kicks the bars] Yeah. They seem pretty strong. Have a good life, Dale.
Dale Biederbeck: It's true, Adrian Monk! I'm in prison, but you're in a worse prison! You're trapped! Trapped by your own demons! You're in your own private hell! I wouldn't trade places with you for a billion dollars! I mean, another billion dollars! You hear me? Come back here! I'm not done!
Adrian Monk: Yes, you are.
Quote from Natalie
Natalie: And so these are gonna go to his brother Ambrose's house, and those will go to my garage.
Moving Guy: All these books. What was he, a professor?
Natalie: No, a detective. An amazing detective. He could look at a room or a person and see things that nobody else could see.
Moving Guy: Like the car wash guy.
Natalie: Yeah. What car wash guy?
Moving Guy: The guy in Nevada. I was just reading about him. Here. It's in today's paper. They call him the "Car Wash Columbo." He solved a big hit-and-run case single-handedly. Yeah. Sounds like a real character. His boss says it takes him a whole hour to wipe down every car. Won't even use the same rag twice.
Natalie: Can I see that?
Moving Guy: Yeah.
Natalie: There's no picture.
Moving Guy: I guess he's modest too.
Natalie: "Leland Rodriguez." His name is Leland?
