Adrian Monk: I went back to the garage. I found a boot tip.
Varla Davis: Kojak and I were very excited about that boot tip.
Adrian Monk: There is a shoe repair shop on Lark Avenue that replaced a tip on a cowboy boot last Monday. The customer's name was Denny Graf. Does it mean anything to you?
Sharona: No.
Adrian Monk: Well, he's a security guard at the community college.
Sharona: My college?
Adrian Monk: That mystery story that you wrote, "The Fatal Recipe", what was the plot?
Sharona: Well, it's about a woman who kills her husband and makes it look like a heart attack.
Varla Davis: Mrs. Preminger canceled her class last night...
Adrian Monk: ...because her husband Max died of a heart attack.
Varla Davis: Right after he ate some tomato soup.
Sharona: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That's my story. It, it's based on a real case when I was an intern. The teckolic acid in the tomato soup activates the poison. It's virtually untraceable. They stole my story! That's plagiarism!
Adrian Monk: Yeah, well, actually, it's murder.
