Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Dog
Samantha Austin: I was just telling the captain something's wrong. I can feel it. I've known Amanda for years, and she never would have gone anywhere without her medication or without Shelby. Adrian Monk: And Shelby is her daughter? Samantha Austin: No. Adrian Monk: Shelby is her son? Samantha Austin: Here she is. Come here, girl. There's a good girl. Adrian Monk: It's a dog. Shelby is a dog! Samantha Austin: Well, she's the only family Amanda has. Adrian Monk: [scoffs] Family.
