Quote from Lieutenant Disher in Mr. Monk Goes to Group Therapy
Natalie: So it was suicide? Adrian Monk: I don't think so. Look at his wrists. Hair has been pulled out. Someone taped them. He was tied up. Lieutenant Disher: Could be a serial killer. He's killing people according to their phobias. This guy was afraid of heights, so he pushed him off the roof. Adrian Monk: Augie wasn't afraid of heights. He was afraid of spiders. Lieutenant Disher: That's different. It's killing people using the opposite of their phobias. The Opposite Killer. Captain Stottlemeyer: So you're saying the opposite of a spider is a tall building? Lieutenant Disher: What do you think the opposite of a spider is? Captain Stottlemeyer: I have no idea, but it's not a tall building. Lieutenant Disher: Mmm. Tell that to the Opposite Killer. Natalie: Are you crying? Captain Stottlemeyer: No, I have allergies.
