• Capt. Stottlemeyer : [Monk is sick in bed with the flu; Stottlemeyer points to a large device on the nightstand]  What is this thing?

  Adrian Monk : It's a humidifier.

  Capt. Stottlemeyer : [pointing to another device]  What's that one?

  Adrian Monk : It's a dehumidifier.

  [long pause] 

  Capt. Stottlemeyer : Well, don't they cancel each other out?

  Adrian Monk : Exactly.

• [Natalie is helping Monk re-paper his walls] 

  Natalie : Mr. Monk, it's level. See? The bubble is right in the middle.

  Adrian Monk : I think it's broken.

  Natalie : Mr. Monk, the level is not broken! It's a bubble on a stick.

  Adrian Monk : Let's just make sure...

  [He unwraps a second level and holds it next to the first one] 

  Natalie : You have two levels?

  Adrian Monk : I use this level to check the other levels. It's my level-checking level.

  Julie Teeger : [deadpan]  How do you know that one's not broken?

  Adrian Monk : That's a good question. I take my level checking level to the hardware store twice a year to have it re-calibrated.
