Adrian Monk Quote #2064
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Is Underwater
Commander Nathan Whitaker: That's my father. He was secretary of the Navy.
Adrian Monk: He must've been very proud of you.
Commander Nathan Whitaker: Oh, you'd think he would have been, wouldn't you?
Adrian Monk: "NON SIBI SED PATRIAE." "Not self, but country." I like it.
Commander Nathan Whitaker: You like it? I live it. I thought I told you to stay in the officers'ward.
Adrian Monk: Yes, sir, I know, but my therapist thought I should focus on the case.
Commander Nathan Whitaker: Your therapist? [Monk signals to he imagines Dr. Bell is standing] It doesn't matter. There is no case, detective. Lt. Commander Pierce shot himself. It's in the NCIS report. There were two other witnesses. We heard a gunshot. The door was locked from the inside and I had to break it down. So there's no other explanation, is there?
Adrian Monk: I don't know.
Commander Nathan Whitaker: Well, what you don't know could fill a Super-Tanker. Did you know that Pierce was a recovering alcoholic and had started drinking again?
Adrian Monk: Had he?
Commander Nathan Whitaker: He confided that in me two weeks ago. And that's why I was worried when he didn't show up for the drill.
Adrian Monk: About that drill. That was the second drill of the day, is that right? Is that normal, two drills in one day?
Commander Nathan Whitaker: No, it's quite unusual. My job, my mandate Is to prepare these children for battle. War is not tidy, Mr. Monk. War does not follow any set schedule and neither do I. Is there anything else?
[Monk looks to the imaginary Dr. Bell, who shrugs his shoulders]
Adrian Monk: No.
Commander Nathan Whitaker: You're with us until Thursday, Mr. Monk. I'd like very much not to see you again.
It's a rather small boat, but with vigilance and patience I believe we can manage to avoid each other.
Adrian Monk: Yes, sir, I'll do my best.

Quote from Adrian Monk
Adrian Monk: It doesn't feel like a man-made boat or a submarine. It feels like a living thing. Like a beast. And I'm in- In the lungs or the stomach. It's like it's swallowed me whole. I feel like it's digesting me. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do if you weren't here.
Dr. Bell: [imaginary] Yes, it's quite fortuitous. I heard you were on a submarine, and I thought you could use my help. So I climbed on board just as the ship was going underwater.
Adrian Monk: Wow. What do we do now?
Dr. Bell: Well, we're gonna take it one day at a time. One hour at a time. We're gonna get through this together.
Adrian Monk: Hmm.
Dr. Bell: I've been observing you, Adrian. You're doing very well in spite of your condition. Your acute claustrophobia.
Adrian Monk: Well...
Dr. Bell: I'd even say you're being rather heroic.
Adrian Monk: [chuckles] I have to be brave for Natalie's sake. She's just a girl. She's depending on me.
Dr. Bell: Well, she's lucky to have you.
Adrian Monk: That's true. What? Medal of honor? I think that's a bit premature, Dr. Bell.
Quote from Natalie
