Captain Stottlemeyer: [on the phone] I'm looking at the forensic report right now, Monk. Your girlfriend's in a lot of trouble.
Adrian Monk: Yeah, she's- She's not my girlfriend.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Look, the bite marks all match 100%. It's as good as a fingerprint.
Adrian Monk: She says the dog was already dead.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Debbie Ringel was attacked by a dog. And it wasn't a ghost dog. Here is a more likely scenario. The dog kills the neighbor, Marci panics. She has her own dog put down and claims that he died a couple of days earlier.
Adrian Monk: I don't know. I- I don't know.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Animal control warned her about Cujo at least twice, which means she's responsible. She could be indicted for manslaughter. What she needs is a good lawyer and you need to get the hell out of there. Okay? Bye-bye.
