Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect
Sharona: By the time they were delivered, Brian had a perfect alibi. Agent Grooms: He put himself in a coma? That's his alibi? That's the stupidest plan I ever heard of. He came this close to killing himself. Adrian Monk: I was stumped too. But then I realized, that wasn't his plan at all. No one would plan to be in a coma. Captain Stottlemeyer: His idea was to get himself arrested so he would be in jail when the bombs were delivered. That's why he tried to lead us on a car chase. He figured he'd be in jail for seven or eight months. Adrian Monk: He even picked out a terrible lawyer, to make sure that he wouldn't get off. Captain Stottlemeyer: But he screwed up and he hit a truck. Lieutenant Disher: And a car. Then another car. Captain Stottlemeyer: Brian Babbage stumbled literally, by accident into the best alibi in the history of crime. Agent Grooms: Look, where's your proof? Adrian Monk: Brian Babbage woke up this morning. I've arranged for all of us to pay him a little visit. Tamil Swarma: This is going to be great. Adrian Monk: Not you.
