Adrian Monk Quote #1466
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Leper
Derek Bronson: I had an affair. That was my first mistake. She wrote me some letters, which I kept. That was mistake number two. In a week, there'll be a probate hearing. I'll be officially declared dead. The vultures are gonna go through my office, reading every file, opening every drawer. They'll find the letters. The letters themselves don't mean anything to me. But they would destroy my wife. Mr. Monk, I want to hire you to break into my home, find the letters, and bring them back.
Adrian Monk: That's the job?
Derek Bronson: It's still my house. So you wouldn't be breaking any law.
Adrian Monk: Why don't you just do it yourself?
Derek Bronson: I tried. I- I just couldn't do it. That house that life, everything I've lost. It's just too painful. I've drawn you a map. Everything you need. The layout, the security codes.
Adrian Monk: I just have one question. Why me? I'm not a thief.
Derek Bronson: Exactly. You're an honorable man. You won't turn around and try to blackmail me. Mr. Monk, I am at your mercy. I'm reaching out to you.
Adrian Monk: That's okay. I get it. You don't have to really reach. I get it.
Derek Bronson: Will you help me?

Dr. Polanski: I don't think you have to worry. As I said, it's not very contagious. I've been practicing for 15 years. I've only seen one case first-hand.
Adrian Monk: I can't do it. I just... I- I can't do it.
Dr. Polanski: Well, how about this? If you do contract the disease I'll treat you for free.
Adrian Monk: The hell are you talking about? How about this? We never call the guy back. We don't see him again. I avoid him like the plague. Yeah, you know what? Exactly like the plague.

Natalie: Mr. Monk. Did you hear what he just said?
Adrian Monk: No.
Natalie: He said it's almost impossible to catch.
Adrian Monk: Yeah. In that sentence, for me, the word "almost" is really the most interesting word.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Natalie: You are overreacting, all right? All you did was shake a man's hand.

Natalie: Exactly.
Adrian Monk: The worst moment of my life is behind me now. I'm free. Wait. [Monk reorients a pan] Okay, now I'm free.
