Quotes 

• Commander Nathan Whitaker : When I'm on land, I am a decorated Commander of the United States Navy. When I'm on this ship, I am the Lord, thy God! I am Jehovah! Do you understand? No one questions me! Now, I've asked around. I know all about your problems, your fears, your claustrophobia. You are having a breakdown, sir. It happens on submarines all the time to men far better than you. You are *delusional*.

  Adrian Monk : I have my share of problems, I don't deny it. But when it comes to this case, the *last* thing I am is delusional.

  [turns to an imaginary Dr. Bell] 

  Adrian Monk : Tell him.

  [Whitaker shows an expression that suggests that he does think Monk is delusional] 

  Adrian Monk : Does that sound like I'm delusional to you?

• Adrian Monk : [noticing everyone saluting]  Nobody's shaking hands. Everybody's saluting. Maybe I should enlist.

  Natalie Teeger : No, Mr. Monk! Please don't enlist! Don't even joke about it!

  Adrian Monk : Why not?

  Natalie Teeger : Because I love America.

• Adrian Monk : [as he and Natalie bang on the door of the ballast tank trying to find help]  Ocean in my shoes! Ocean! Ocean in my shoes, Dr. Bell!

  Natalie Teeger : Mr. Monk, it won't do us any good if we both panic!

  Adrian Monk : You're right. You're right. We'll take turns. I'll go first. Oh, God! Natalie!

  Natalie Teeger : What?

  Adrian Monk : Ocean in my pants! Ocean in my pants!

  [Camera pans down to reveal that the water is up to just above his ankle] 

• Natalie Teeger : Mr. Monk, I've been on these boats. These boats are so big, they don't even feel like boats. They're like islands. You've been on islands before, right? You like islands. It's like Hawaii. Think of it like that: We're going to Hawaii.

  Adrian Monk : I believe you are the Devil.

• Adrian Monk : I don't know how to swim. I took some lessons once, but not actually in water.

  Natalie Teeger : Mr. Monk, I don't think swimming's going to be a problem.

  Adrian Monk : I'm not even sure I know how to drown!
