Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Birds and the Bees
Lieutenant Disher: All right, how about this one? The phone in the bedroom was unplugged. Lovely Rita: That doesn't mean anything. I unplug my phone all the time If I want to sleep late or if I'm working. Captain Stottlemeyer: She's right. Doesn't mean anything. Lieutenant Disher: Well, here's another one. The wife's slippers. Natalie: Yeah, the husband said she was cold. That's why she went downstairs. Why wouldn't she put on her slippers? [The guys are stumped, so they look to "Lovely Rita"] Lovely Rita: She wasn't really cold. She was just saying she was cold. She went downstairs to get a bite of that chocolate cake in the refrigerator. Adrian Monk: What chocolate cake? Who are you? Lieutenant Disher: This is Rita Depask, a.k.a. the Lovely Rita. She's a material witness in a knife fight downtown. Lovely Rita: Alleged knife fight. Alleged. I love that word. Captain Stottlemeyer: The Lovely Rita has a point, amazingly enough. Any hotshot lawyer could explain away that entire notebook.
