Monk Quote
[Monk and Natalie have parked outside Patrick Kloster's house, and they are reading his books]
Natalie Teeger: "In chess, as in life, creative strategies, executed with daring and precision, will allow you to overwhelm your opponent, and achieve your goal." The end, and may I say, "Thank god." [She closes the book and Monk hands her the next one]
Adrian Monk: Keep going. Here's the next one.
Natalie Teeger: Oh Mr. Monk, come on, we've been reading his books all day! What good are they doing?
Adrian Monk: I'm getting into his head. He's in my head. I have to be in his head. So we're... in each other's heads. [Natalie sighs and opens the next book]
Natalie Teeger: "Chess Domination, by Patrick Kloster." Well this will be the opposite of fun. [flips to the dedication] "For my queen, Tatianna."
Adrian Monk: You don't have to read the dedication. [Flipping another page, Natalie finds Linda Kloster's check]
Natalie Teeger: Okay. Sorry. What's this? Linda Kloster's check. You didn't deposit this?
Adrian Monk: I'll never deposit it.
Natalie Teeger: But Mr. Monk, she wanted you to cash it. Mr. Monk, if you deposit this check, you can pay your staff, and when I say "staff," I mean me. [holds the check up]
[long pause]
Adrian Monk: She came to me. I didn't protect her.
Natalie Teeger: Mr. Monk, you did everything you could.
Adrian Monk: What about the promise I made to her about not letting him get away with it?
Natalie Teeger: You made a promise to me, too.
Adrian Monk: [points to the car mirror, in which he sees Patrick Kloster approaching] Shhh, there he is. [Monk starts to buckle his seatbelt]
Natalie Teeger: What?
