Captain Stottlemeyer: Shut up! Everybody, shut up! Everybody but Monk. Monk, what's going on?
Adrian Monk: Okay. Here's what happened. The woman who founded the meditation center was named Jennie Mandeville.
Lieutenant Disher: What, the confessor?
Adrian Monk: No, no, no, no. The girl you met was not the real Jennie Mandeville. She got the name from a plaque she saw up at the retreat. She needed a fake name, maybe she liked the sound of it.
Captain Stottlemeyer: What was she doing up there?
Adrian Monk: She went there to kill Danny Chasen. The guy in the roll-top desk. It was probably her boyfriend's idea. Jewel thieves are like children. They hate to share. This is a very crowded room. This is a very, very, very, very, very, very...
Captain Stottlemeyer: Monk, Monk, Monk, it's okay. It's okay. Who was her boyfriend?
Adrian Monk: He was the security guard that Randy arrested. He was the jewel thief! He was the inside man. The diamond was still in his pocket when you were talking to him.
Lieutenant Disher: That's right, we brought him here right from the museum.
Adrian Monk: I remember before the interrogation he was chewing a big piece of gum. But when I saw him after the interrogation, the gum was gone. He must have panicked in that room. You had him on the drug charges, he knew he was about to be arrested. Which, of course, meant he'd be searched. So he hid the rock right there under the table.
Captain Stottlemeyer: With his chewing gum.
Adrian Monk: People do it in restaurants all the time. I've written letters to my congressman and to the editor, what can I do? He must have telephoned his girlfriend from jail to tell her where he stashed the diamond.
Captain Stottlemeyer: And that's why she was coming in here confessing to everything.
Lieutenant Disher: And why she was always asking to switch rooms, 'cause she was trying to get in there.
