Quotes 

• [Paul Buchanan finishes looking at the completed luncheon table that Monk has carefully organized and straightened out] 

  Paul Buchanan : Well I don't have to remind you about how important these stupid luncheons are! The old bats are gunning for me. They want me to screw up, they *expect* me to screw up! And I intend to dissapoint them. Mr. Melville.

  Adrian Monk : [standing in front of a covered canvas]  Thank you. Mr. Pepperidge?

  [Mr. Pepperidge pulls the tarp off the canvas, revealing a map of the house] 

  Adrian Monk : I've divided the house into four zones.

  Susie the Maid : Mr. Stilson normally has us start in the kitchen.

  Adrian Monk : [retracts his pointer]  Mr. Stilson is no longer with us. So from now on we're going to be cleaning the house my way. The Monk way.

  Susie the Maid : Who's Monk?

  Adrian Monk : [quickly improvising so as to avoid blowing his cover]  You see... I grew up in a monastery and the monks were very demanding. We were cleaning constantly, 18 hours a day. Mostly dusting. It was very dusty. Crypts, catacombs, it was holy dust. But still... you know... dust. And that is the Monk way.

  Paul Buchanan : Well you heard the man. We'll be doing it the Monk way.
