Adrian Monk Quote #276
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Goes to Mexico
Dr. Madero: Senor Monk! You said you ruined my life. That is wrong. You stole it! I made one foolish mistake. Nobody even noticed. Who the hell are you to point your finger at me?
Capt. Alameda: Who is he? He is a police officer, and a damn fine one! Keep your eye on him, Lieutenant. He is the primary suspect in two homicides.
Adrian Monk: Actually three. Three homicides. Don't forget the boy the killed last year.
Dr. Madero: [screams]
Lt. Plato: The wild lion?
Adrian Monk: Exactly. He fabricated that too. Only it didn't work, 'cause no one called me. So he waited a year and tried again.
Capt. Alameda: All this because you smelled menthol cream on the curtains?
Adrian Monk: Actually, I've been thinking about Madero for a while. He claimed he had never been to the United States. [car starts moving] Then he said there was a pint of water in the boy's lungs. He didn't say half a liter. He said, "A pint." Only a person who practiced in the United States would have said that.
Capt. Alameda: Senor Monk, I want to say, it has been an honor to work side by side with such an accomplished detective...

Quote from Sharona
Lt. Plato: If it's any consolation, your friend showed great courage. After he was run over, he crawled inch by inch through the mud and garbage trying to get help.
Sharona: He crawled through what?
Lt. Plato: Mud and garbage.
Sharona: He's not dead.
Capt. Alameda: Pardon me?
Sharona: It's not him!
Capt. Alameda: Senorita, your friend is gone.
Sharona: It's not him. Maybe it's the guy that stole our suitcases?
Lt. Plato: How can you be sure?
Sharona: Adrian Monk would die before he'd crawl through mud and garbage.
Capt. Alameda: But he was dying.
Sharona: You don't understand.
Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer
Captain Stottlemeyer: In a way, given what he had to deal with, he was the bravest man I've ever known. I measured everything I did against him. He was my yardstick. I never told him that.
Lieutenant Disher: I'm sure he knew, sir.
Captain Stottlemeyer: [chuckles] I'm sure he did. The son of a bitch knew everything. I want a full-dress funeral. I want the governor there. I want the entire department there with black armbands and white gloves.
Lieutenant Disher: Sir, Monk wasn't on active duty. We can't go full dress.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Adrian Monk is to be buried with honors or I quit. I'm gonna tell you something, Randy, and I'm not ashamed to admit this. I loved that man. [answers phone] This is Stottlemeyer. Yes. I understand. [to Randy] I hate that man. [hangs up] I hate that man!
