Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Can't See a Thing
Dr. Jackman: I think I have some good news. The optic nerves appear to be healing, and your pupils are starting to dilate. I'm cautiously optimistic. [Monk groans] Is that how he takes good news?
Natalie: Yeah, it is.
Dr. Jackman: If you could just stick around for a bit, I'd like to show these to my colleagues. Be right back.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Thank you, doctor. We'll be here.
Natalie: Isn't that great? She sounded so hopeful.
Adrian Monk: Hope. I hate hope's guts.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Hey, what happened to all your confidence?
Adrian Monk: I don't know, Leland. Maybe I dropped it when I was screaming for help ten inches off the ground. I am so pathetic. I'm half the man I was, which was 3/4 of a man. And so now I'm...
Lieutenant Disher: 5/16ths of a man.
Adrian Monk: Thank you, Randy.
Lieutenant Disher: Oh, no, wait. 3/8ths of a man.

Quote from Dr. Kroger
Dr. Kroger: All right, Adrian, wh- Wh- What about your work?
Adrian Monk: My work? My work's great. I'd say I'm operating at or just below Magoo level.

Dr. Kroger: Adrian, I'm not naked.
Adrian Monk: But you could be.
Dr. Kroger: Look it, Adrian. I think that you're using this condition as an excuse to cut yourself off from the real world, even more than usual. And the pendulum will swing back.
Adrian Monk: I don't think so.

Adrian Monk: It's the best thing that ever happened to me.
Dr. Kroger: Oh, okay, fine. Well, then, why don't we get some ear plugs, and some nose plugs? And then you can just cut yourself off completely from the world.
Adrian Monk: Yeah.
Dr. Kroger: Or maybe we could arrange to have you put into a coma.
Adrian Monk: Well, let's try the ear plug thing first.
