Quote from Adrian Monk

Judge Ethan Rickover: Well, Mr. Monk, what a surprise. I heard you were sick.

Judge Ethan Rickover: [picks up wipe with a pen] Oh, that's a relief. So, you came all the way downtown, just to cheer me on? That's nice.
Adrian Monk: I'm here because you killed my wife.
Judge Ethan Rickover: I'm sorry?
Adrian Monk: You heard me. Trudy Ellison. She was a student of yours at Berkeley. You had an affair with her. She got pregnant. And 12 years ago, when you were nominated for the Appellate Court, you made sure that story never got out. You killed 2 women. Wendy Straud...
Judge Ethan Rickover: Uh-huh.
Adrian Monk: Was the midwife at the birth. And my wife.
Judge Ethan Rickover: [laughs] Well, they told me to expect this. They said that at every confirmation hearing, the nuts just come out of woodwork.
