Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Actor
Lieutenant Disher: Uh, yeah, the victim's daughter was in here. She did a quick inventory. Said the guy took some cash from the register, maybe 35 bucks, the Smith and Wesson and a wristwatch. Adrian Monk: A wristwatch? David Ruskin: Why would he take only one? Adrian Monk: Why wouldn't he just take everything in the case? Lieutenant Disher: Well, he was probably in a hurry. He was afraid someone heard the shot. Adrian Monk: No, no, no, no. It's clear from the footprints that he came here first. But he took the cheapest watch in the case. Look, $72. Why would he take the cheapest one and leave all the others? He must have been after that particular watch. David Ruskin: Wow. [chuckles] Wow. That's like... Adrian Monk: It's a gift and a curse. David Ruskin: [laughs] I love it! Captain Stottlemeyer: He says that all the time. David Ruskin: He does? I love that! It's a gift and a curse.
