Lieutenant Disher Quote #154
Quote from Lieutenant Disher in Mr. Monk Can't See a Thing
Captain Stottlemeyer: Hey, would you quit whining? The bad guy's on a slab downstairs. We get to go home. In my book, that's a good day.
Lieutenant Disher: Monk, he is definitely the guy. I just came back from his house. We found the clothes he was wearing when he set the fire. They were in a laundry hamper, covered with soot.
Natalie: You guys, I'm sorry. I have to go. I have to go get Julie.
Captain Stottlemeyer: You kids take off. I'll stay here with Captain Sunshine.
Lieutenant Disher: Hey, I can drop you off? New wheels.
Natalie: Oh, so you went with the Ford.
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, I didn't like the way the Ferrari handled. Or the way they turned down my credit application. [Monk grabs Randy's keys] Yeah. Cool, huh? I went with the four cylinder, instead of the six. It's quicker. Oh, and white, with tan cloth interior. Leather makes me sweat. Yeah, I need those.
Natalie: All right, we gotta go. We gotta go. Okay, bye, Mr. Monk. We'll see you tomorrow.

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 have to tell you I'm a little concerned. Now, there are five stages of grief, and I think you've already leapfrogged over at least the first three of them. And I think any doctor-
Adrian Monk: I'm sorry to interrupt. I was just thinking. You could be naked right now, and it wouldn't bother me.
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.
Dr. Kroger: Yes, it will. This is what pendulums do. You could come crashing down. It would be very painful. I- I-I just refuse to believe that you are happy - genuinely happy - having lost your eyesight.
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.
