Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Other Woman
Adrian Monk: That light with the motion detectors. It's all smashed. Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah. Probably with the shovel. Our killer preferred to work in the dark. Adrian Monk: Why didn't he just turn it off? No, the killer couldn't find the switch. Why? Because he'd never been in the garage before. Captain Stottlemeyer: Or she was hiding near the light, it came on, she freaked out and she smashed it with the shovel. That's possible, Monk. Isn't that possible? Adrian Monk: It's possible. Captain Stottlemeyer: Yes. Here's the situation. Your friend Monica Waters is a suspect in three homicides. Adrian Monk: Oh, no, no, no. Captain Stottlemeyer: Yes. Monk, you're not seeing this clearly. You're too close to her. You've got a big blind spot. Adrian Monk: I just don't- Captain Stottlemeyer: Adrian, listen to me. She is not Trudy.
