Quotes 

• Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : [walking in on Monk, who is defrosting a refrigerator]  There you are.

  Natalie Teeger : Captain, what are you doing here?

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Looking for you. I was about to give up when I heard some clowns downstairs talking about a guy up here defrosting a refrigerator. Who's Captain Cool?

  [Two students walk past them] 

  First Student : Captain Cool lives!

  Second Student : The return of Captain Cool!

  First Student : The Iceman Cometh back!

  [They leave the lounge and walk down the hall laughing to themselves] 

  Adrian Monk : Might be me.

  [He activates the blowdryer and continues to defrost] 

• Natalie Teeger : Well this looks delicious. So this is where you ate? I mean was this your "hangout"?

  Adrian Monk : I don't know. Natalie, I-I-I think I've seen enough of this. Let's just go.

  Natalie Teeger : No, I'm not gonna let you go. You've been looking so forward to this.

  Adrian Monk : I don't know what I was thinking. These people weren't my friends, okay? They don't even remember me. The truth is I was invisible. It was Trudy they loved. I was just "the guy with Trudy," just like you're the girl with me.

  [Natalie stops] 

  Natalie Teeger : Mr. Monk, why is your name on the spit-shield?

  [We see a plaque on the spit-shield with Monk's name proudly engraved on it] 

  Adrian Monk : Well, when I was here, there was nothing protecting the food.

  Natalie Teeger : So you donated all of these? That is so generous of you!

  Adrian Monk : Actually, it was more of a lawsuit. Took up a lot of my spare time.

  Dianne Brooks : [comes over]  Adrian, there you are. We've been looking for you.

  [She casts a suspicious glance at Natalie, like what Monk told her earlier about him not dating anyone isn't true] 

  Natalie Teeger : Hi, I'm Natalie Teeger.

  Dianne Brooks : [shakes hands with Natalie]  Hi. Dianne Brooks.

  Natalie Teeger : I'm his assistant.

  Dianne Brooks : Oh, so you two aren't?

  [she gestures her hands as if to mean "dating" or "together"] 

  Natalie Teeger : No.

  Adrian Monk : No. No. No. No. No-no-no-no-no.

  [says it a few more times] 

  Dianne Brooks : Where are you sitting? Kyle and I are right over here. We saved you a seat. Fair warning- we brought a lot of pictures.

  [They start walking in that general direction] 

  Natalie Teeger : See, you have a friend!

  Adrian Monk : No. She was Trudy's roommate, freshman year.

  Natalie Teeger : Well, she saved us a seat.

  Adrian Monk : Out of pity. These are what we call "pity seats".

• Adrian Monk : [about Dianne Brooks having two dogs with the name Tangerine]  One in a million. Maybe one in a trillion.

  Natalie Teeger : Mr. Monk, forget about the dog!

  Adrian Monk : How could the same person have two dogs, 25 years apart, happened to be named Tangerine? Tangerine, and this Tangerine is black!

  Natalie Teeger : Why would anybody lie about a dog's name?

  Adrian Monk : I don't know, but... there is something weird about that guy. Dianne said that he couldn't wait to meet me, but he didn't even know I was a detective.

  Natalie Teeger : Mr. Monk, come on! Let's have some fun!

  [snaps her fingers] 

  Natalie Teeger : You said you were gonna show me your dorm room!

  Adrian Monk : Well, It's right here, old #303. Uh-oh! Tie on the doorknob!

  [there is a tie hanging from the doorknob] 

  Adrian Monk : My roommate and I did the same thing, it's a code.

  Natalie Teeger : Yeah, I think I might know about that.

  Adrian Monk : Yeah, it means, "Don't come in! I'm reorganizing my closet."

  Natalie Teeger : Your closet?

  Adrian Monk : Yeah. My roommate in freshman year, Greg, he reorganized his closet 4-5 times a week.

  Natalie Teeger : Uh-huh. And did his girlfriend ever come over to help?

  Adrian Monk : Oh yeah, all the time, they were real neat freaks. I used to tease them about it. "Neat freaks!"

• [Monk is fussing with his lapel pin] 

  Adrian Monk : Is it straight? I can't get it straight.

  Natalie Teeger : Why don't you just stand at a slight angle?

  [they start walking] 

  Natalie Teeger : Mr. Monk, maybe I should stay.

  Adrian Monk : No, I...

  Natalie Teeger : No-no, my parents can pick Julie up.

  Adrian Monk : I'm fine.

  Natalie Teeger : Well it's just that the last time you saw these people, you were with Trudy. I remember after Mitch died, how difficult it was, going to parties, seeing our friends, that's when I missed him the most.

  Adrian Monk : I'm way ahead of you. I did all my crying last night, I'm good to go.

• [Natalie pulls Monk's registration form out of her purse] 

  Natalie Teeger : "Adrian 'Captain Cool' Monk". Who's Captain Cool?

  Adrian Monk : [strikes a Macho pose]  That was my nickname.

  Natalie Teeger : You were Captain Cool? Why?

  Adrian Monk : Why do you think?

  Natalie Teeger : I don't know.

  Adrian Monk : Why do you think?

  Natalie Teeger : I don't know.

• Natalie Teeger : Oh, look. There's a reception for all current and past senior chess club members. Weren't you in the chess club? That sounds like fun.

  [Monk gives her an odd look] 

  Natalie Teeger : You never know. It might be fun.

  Adrian Monk : Natalie, have you ever seen a chess club?

  Natalie Teeger : What are you doing?

  [Monk is picking at something underneath the bench] 

  Adrian Monk : Weeds.

  Natalie Teeger : Mr. Monk, there are weeds everywhere! What are you gonna do? Clean up the whole campus?

• Natalie Teeger : You mean when he wrote it on your back, you could feel it? Y-you could do that?

  Adrian Monk : I have very sensitive skin.

  Natalie Teeger : That's like a superpower! Like a really weird, not very useful super-power.

• Dianne Brooks : [handing a photo to Monk and Natalie]  We don't have any children so we just show pictures of our house.

  Natalie Teeger : Well, it's nice.

  Dianne Brooks : Thank you. And that's Tangerine.

  Adrian Monk : Wait. Didn't you used to have a dog named Tangerine?

• Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Well, that's what the kids call a motive.

  Natalie Teeger : Then he waited 25 years to do something about it? Who could hold a grudge for that long?

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : I could. And have.

• [Monk and Natalie are at the reunion dinner. Monk points at Kyle Brooks] 

  Adrian Monk : He missed that ball on purpose. He dropped his hands. I think he wanted her to break that glass.

  Natalie Teeger : Well why, Mr. Monk?

  Adrian Monk : And the dog? What about the dog with the same name and how he insisted on everyone eating at Rocco's? I mea, what was that all about?

  Natalie Teeger : I don't know! Maybe the guy's eccentric.

  Adrian Monk : No, *I'm* eccentric. He's up to something.
