Adrian Monk: Ladies, let's settle down. I think we might have an actual murder on our hands.
Marci Maven: Oh, woo-hoo!
Adrian Monk: Exactly. Woo-hoo. Let's just think for a minute, okay? Tell me about the dog. How did he die?
Marci Maven: Kidney failure. He went really quickly.
Adrian Monk: Before he passed, did anything unusual happen?
Marci Maven: Oh, yes! About two weeks ago, he disappeared for a whole day. I couldn't find him. I was worried sick. I was putting up posters everywhere. And then around 6:00, he just showed up.
Adrian Monk: And you have no idea where he was?
Marci Maven: No. He was covered in woodchips, though. Is that important? It took me an hour to brush it out.
Natalie: You still have the brush?
Marci Maven: The brush? [chuckles] Please.
Adrian Monk: Actually, that's a good idea.
Marci Maven: I'll get it.
