Adrian Monk Quote #2080
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Is Underwater
Adrian Monk: We have all the pieces. The "who," the "why," and the "how."
Commander Nathan Whitaker: Is that right?
Adrian Monk: This is the how. It's a firecracker. And these ashes are from a cigarette.
Steven Albright: We found them in the vent behind the door.
Adrian Monk: It happened right here in this room a few minutes before the second drill. You forced Jason Pierce to drink some vodka then you shot him. You executed your friend in cold blood with a homemade silencer. Nobody heard a thing. You used a cigarette as a fuse, which gave you about five minutes to get back to the bridge. You hid it inside that vent, you figured it was the one place they wouldn't look. It was a perfect alibi. You were in the hallway with witnesses when they heard what they thought was a gunshot. All you had to do was slip the key into his pocket when no one was looking.
Natalie: We found a thumbprint on the inside of that vent.
Steven Albright: I could fax it to NCIS. It would take about a half an hour.
Commander Nathan Whitaker: That won't be necessary, Lieutenant.
Steven Albright: In that case, sir, I'm relieving you of your command and confining you to quarters.
Commander Nathan Whitaker: Congratulations, Detective Monk. I hope the rest of the Navy does its job as well as you do yours. [both salute]

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
Adrian Monk: Wait. Dr. Bell, he's right outside. Dr. Bell, open the hatch! Dr. Bell!
Natalie: Dr. Bell! What am I saying? Help, somebody, help!
