Monk and Samuel Waingaya in “Mr. Monk and the Foreign Man”

Monk

Okay, this is how we do our laundry in America. There are your whites.

Samuel Waingaya

My whites, excellent.

Monk

Your off-whites. Your off-off-whites. There are the primary colors, red, yellow, green, blue, and that’s indigo. Left socks, right socks. I’ve labeled them for you.

Samuel Waingaya

But in Nigeria, we just wash all of our socks together.

Monk

Well, I don’t like to judge people, but that’s wrong.

Samuel Waingaya

So you mean you separate everything? But how much is that going to cost?

Monk

$200.
