Quote from Ambrose Monk in Mr. Monk and the Three Pies
Ambrose Monk: Captain. I- I have your coffee, Captain. Captain Stottlemeyer: Thank you. Why is it numbered? Ambrose Monk: Mother numbered all the mugs. Adrian Monk: So we'd always put them back in the right order. Captain Stottlemeyer: Of course she did. What did she do if a mug got broken? Ambrose Monk: What? Captain Stottlemeyer: What happened if a mug got broken? Ambrose Monk: Number nine. It slipped. I couldn't help it. Adrian Monk: Ambrose, not now. Ambrose Monk: It was not my fault. Captain Stottlemeyer: I'm sorry. Ambrose Monk: It was not my fault.
