Quote from Natalie in Mr. Monk Goes to the Hospital
Natalie: Mr. Monk? My God. Oh, my God, Mr. Monk, I'm so sorry. I can't believe this. What happened? They said you fell down the stairs? [Monk tries to groan] Oh, it's all right. I'm here.
I'll take good care of you, okay?
Nurse: Hi. How's he doing today?
Natalie: I don't know. I just got here.
Nurse: Are you his wife?
Natalie: No, I'm his assistant. And his friend. [Monk groans] I think he's in a lot of pain. He's not very good with pain.
Nurse: Okay, well, this should help.
Adrian Monk: [mumbles]
Natalie: What? Dr. Scott?
Nurse: That's his primary. You're very lucky. Dr. Scott's the greatest.
Natalie: Did you hear that? You have a great doctor. [Monk tries to move his arm away as the nurse hooks up his IV] It's okay, it's okay. Just relax, I've got you. Give me your hand. There you go, just relax.
Nurse: He should have some ice chips.
Natalie: Okay, I'll get them. [Monk grabs Natalie's hand] It's okay. [Monk shifts his eyes towards the IV] Mr. Monk, I just want to tell you that I'm so sorry for leaving you here this morning. It will never happen again. If you are ever in trouble, I will be there for you, I promise. Okay, let go. Let go. I'll be right back. Nurse, excuse me.
I just want to thank you for being so sweet to him. But I wanted to ask you, do you have the kind of ice maker that makes round ice cubes? Because he'd prefer that.
Nurse: We might. So how long have you worked for Mr. Butterworth?
Adrian Monk: Who's Mr. Butterworth? [runs back] Mr. Monk! Mr. Monk! Oh, God. [restricts IV tube] It's okay.
‘Mr. Monk Goes to the Hospital’ Quotes
Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Nurse: It's not possible. Mr. Johansen never left his room. He's been on the heart monitor all night. Here's a cardiogram. No gaps, no interruptions.
Lieutenant Disher: Actually, all we know for sure is that he never took the monitor off. What if he took it with him?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Randy, please.
Lieutenant Disher: No, it's possible. I mean, all he had to do was strap the monitor to his back. And then climb out the window, shimmy down one story, unspooling 600 feet of wire along the way.
Nurse: He's 82 years old.
Lieutenant Disher: He's a veteran. They were the Greatest Generation.
Captain Stottlemeyer: You through?
Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Adrian Monk: And, Randy, you hit it. Remember?
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, let's see it. [Disher starts to unbutton his pants] What are you doing?
Lieutenant Disher: Showing you the bruise.
Adrian Monk: What's he doing?
Captain Stottlemeyer: It's near your ankle. Just pull up your pant leg.
Lieutenant Disher: Well, six of one, right?
Captain Stottlemeyer: It's not six of one. Roll up your pant leg.
Lieutenant Disher: I'm already unbuckled. Okay, fine.
Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Lieutenant Disher: Captain, look at this.
Captain Stottlemeyer: What is that?
Hospital Administrator: That looks like a seal. That could be from one of our oxygen tanks.
Captain Stottlemeyer: "Room 623."
Lieutenant Disher: Room 623. All right, let's go!
Hospital Administrator: Uh, Lieutenant, that's the geriatric ward. If he's a patient up there, he's at least 80 years old.
Lieutenant Disher: Well, then, we better move fast.
