Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Bully
Captain Stottlemeyer: So how did you know? Adrian Monk: Little things. They began to add up. When I first met her, she mentioned her aunt in Texas. She pronounced it "ant." This morning, she said... Marilyn Brady: "My aunt is flying in tomorrow." Adrian Monk: And the fingernails. Two days ago, she was biting them. This morning they were long and perfectly manicured.
