Quotes 

• Adrian Monk : [frantically pressing elevator buttons]  Lobby... lobby... lobby... lobby...

  Rita : Sir, there's no power. It's not going to move.

  Adrian Monk : You're probably right.

  [resumes pushing] 

  Adrian Monk : Lobby... lobby... lobby...

• Sharona Fleming : I'm going to Hell. I'm a horrible person.

  Adrian Monk : Why?

  Sharona Fleming : I just told that woman, Michelle, that there was nothing wrong with you.

  Adrian Monk : She should have asked me.

• [during yet another blackout] 

  Adrian Monk : I can't find my night vision goggles! There is a fatal flaw in the night vision goggle plan!

• Michelle Rivas : If I didn't have cooties, I'd kiss you right now.

  Adrian Monk : If you didn't have cooties, I'd let you.

• Adrian Monk : Lieutenant, these are night vision goggles. Turn the lights back off! I'll have the advantage. Turn them off!

  Lt. Randall Disher : Yeah, we could do that... or we could just arrest him.

• Adrian Monk : [sending a package of wipes up to Alby Drake in a tree]  They have a million and one uses!

• [Monk is talking with Michelle Rivas and hears a noise. She looks up and sees Gene Edelson coming down the ladder] 

  Michelle Rivas : Gene, what are you doing up there?

  Winston Brenner : I am checking the auxiliary generator.

  Michelle Rivas : Yeah well there's a reporter looking for you.

  Winston Brenner : Well you're the company mouth. You talk to them. It's not my problem.

  [spots Monk tapping his pen against the gauge on one of the panels] 

  Winston Brenner : Excuse me. Do you, see the sign?

  [Monk spots the "Do Not Touch" sign above the gauge] 

  Adrian Monk : Yes, thank you.

  [straightens it a little bit. Michelle smiles] 

  Michelle Rivas : I've been dying to do that for six months.

• Adrian Monk : I was born naturally, but raised Cesarean.

• [the team arrives at a construction site to talk to Alby Drake about Winston Brenner] 

  Alby Drake : No, I'm not being reasonable. I'm sick and tired of being reasonable. I'm not coming down until you agree to build your stupid condos somewhere else!

  [Monk and Sharona arrive] 

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Monk, Sharona.

  Sharona Fleming : Who is he?

  Lt. Randall Disher : Tree hugger.

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : His name is Alby Drake. He was Winston Brenner's oldest friend. They were roommates at MIT.

  Adrian Monk : How long has he been up there?

  Construction Foreman : Ten days. The judge will be ordering an eviction notice by tomorrow morning.

  [Stottlemeyer turns to Monk] 

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : The FBI - in their infinite wisdom - now agrees that Winston Brenner may have faked his own death back in 1995. If Brenner is still alive, that scruffy bird up there might still be in contact with him.

• [During the blackout, Monk has been stalking Brenner through his apartment, wearing night-vision goggles. When the lights come back, Monk doesn't realize it] 

  Adrian Monk : Maybe... I'm a ghost... Oooooo...

  [Brenner approaches him head-on with a knife] 

  Adrian Monk : ...You can see me, can't you?

  Winston Brenner : Yeah.

  Adrian Monk : The lights are back, aren't they?

  Winston Brenner : Yep.
