Quote from Sharona in Mr. Monk Meets Dale the Whale
Sharona: [answers phone] Hello? Oh, hey, Captain. Yeah, he's right here. [to Monk] Stottlemeyer. [on the phone] Oh, well, actually, uh, we were just finishing up a pretty big case. It was this nasty homicide, um... This woman was found murdered in her dining room with a rope. Yeah. Hold on, let me check our schedule. [to Monk] It's a job.
