Monk, Season 5

[Paul Buchanan finishes looking at the completed luncheon table that Monk has carefully organized and straightened out]

Paul Buchanan:
Well I don't have to remind you about how important these stupid luncheons are! The old bats are gunning for me. They want me to screw up, they expect me to screw up! And I intend- to dissapoint them. Mr. Melville.

Monk:
[standing in front of a covered canvas] Thank you. Mr. Pepperidge? [Mr. Pepperidge pulls the tarp off the canvas, revealing a color coded map of the house] I've divided the house into four zones.

Susie the Maid:
Mr. Stilson normally has us start in the kitchen.

Monk:
[retracts his pointer] Mr. Stilson is no longer with us. So from now on we're going to be cleaning the house my way: the Monk way.

Susie the Maid:
Who's Monk?

[long pause]

Monk:
You see... I grew up in a monastery. And the monks, were very demanding. We were cleaning constantly, 18 hours a day. Mostly dusting. It was very dusty. Crypts, catacombs, it was holy dust. But still... you know... dust. And that is the Monk way.

Paul Buchanan:
Well you heard the man. We'll be doing it the Monk way.
