Captain Stottlemeyer: Now, what I can't get over is that we haven't had a homicide in this neighborhood for over four years. All of a sudden, we got two. First, your newspaper boy, killed for a newspaper and now, this robbery.
Adrian Monk: This was no robbery.
Captain Stottlemeyer: What? The killer took the money.
Adrian Monk: The killer wants us to think robbery, but why wouldn't he do it in a more secluded spot? He could have killed him anywhere between here and the store.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Maybe the killer just waited for him here by the bank?
Adrian Monk: No. No, the killer had to have followed the victim from the store. Cream soda bottle. You can't find that brand anywhere else.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, how do you know the victim wasn't drinking the soda? He worked at the Stop-N-Go.
Adrian Monk: That's true.
Sharona: It's a woman. There's lipstick on the bottle.
Adrian Monk: How did I miss that?
Captain Stottlemeyer: She's stronger and smarter than you are.
