Adrian Monk Quote #894
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Other Detective
Natalie: We know how you did it, Marty. We figured it out.
Marty Eels: How I did what?
Natalie: Didn't your mother ever tell you that cheaters never win?
Adrian Monk: Actually, it was your mother's idea. She works for Pacific Global Airlines, doesn't she? In the quality control department?
Marty Eels: Yeah, so?
Adrian Monk: Here's what happened. After the murderers, Blanchard and Dial, went back to their motel room, counted their jewels. And then they called the airlines to buy plane tickets to Costa Rica. They were put on hold. What they didn't know was that your mother was already on the line monitoring their call. They must have been on hold for quite a while, because they talked about everything. Who they killed, where they dumped the car, even where they hid the masks.
Natalie: But she didn't call the police. She called you. And told you everything you needed to know to solve the case.
Adrian Monk: Or at least pretend to solve it.
Marty Eels: You're a very smart man.
Natalie: Yeah, he's the real thing.
Marty Eels: Yeah. Of course, you realize you have no proof for any of this.
Natalie: Don't airlines record phone conversations?
Adrian Monk: Yes, Nat, I believe they do.
Marty Eels: Yes, they certainly do. But those conversations have a way of being accidentally erased. So it's really your word against mine. And who do you think everyone's gonna believe? The amazing Marty Eels or yesterday's news? [phone rings] Phone's been ringing off the hook. Case, cases, cases. Would you mind?

Quote from Dr. Kroger
Dr. Kroger: No, no, Adrian, I'm not suggesting that you just give up. I'm saying to you that there is always someone ahead of you. This is the human condition. For instance, there, there's a new psychiatrist here in town, name of Lowenstern. Now, I know that there is no way that I will ever be, well, as good as he is. I know this. I accept it.
Adrian Monk: He's better than you?
Dr. Kroger: He's brilliant. Nominated for a Nobel prize. But, the point is, you think that you might enjoy teaching.
Adrian Monk: I don't know. Tell me more about this Lowenstern.
Dr. Kroger: Lowenstern. I could introduce you. Office is right across the street. He charges $400 an hour.
Adrian Monk: ... So where, where were we?
Quote from Adrian Monk
Natalie: Mr. Monk, are you okay? Everybody's waiting.
Adrian Monk: It's over there.
Natalie: What?
Adrian Monk: Dog, you know. Dog doo.
Natalie: Did you step in it?
Adrian Monk: If I stepped in it, I'd be in that ambulance right now on my way to the emergency room, wouldn't I? Praying for the sweet release that only death can bring.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Captain Stottlemeyer: Adrian Monk, Natalie Teeger, this is Marty Eels. He's a private investigator.
Marty Eels: Hey, how you doing? [shakes Monk's hand] How you doing? I hear good things. Good things. Don't worry. I'm not competition. [Natalie hands Monk a wipe] I'm just here to help. Can I have one of those? So what have we got?
Adrian Monk: Captain, I don't think the manager did this. For one thing, he didn't lock the door behind him. Plus, I notice some more blood by the curb. I think there was a second shooting.
Marty Eels: Yeah, he could be right. Very good. Nicely done. Nicely done. [to Natalie] Thanks, sweetheart.
Lieutenant Disher: Captain! He's right. I think he belongs to the store manager. Harold Gumbal. Geary St., Oakland.
Marty Eels: You know, if the manager was robbing his own store, he wouldn't bring his dog along.
Adrian Monk: Or leave him behind. No, the manager is not the guy.
Marty Eels: No, that's right. The manager is not the guy.
Adrian Monk: Here's what happ-
Marty Eels: Here's what happened. Here's what happened! This dog was a hostage. The manager was being forced to rob his store. Something went wrong, and they shot the guard. Excuse me.
