Quote from Adrian Monk

Varla Davis: What's in here? Shoes?
Adrian Monk: No, that's my food. I keep it all airtight containers. It's in a certain order. It's color-coded. There's a chart on the inside of the door here.
Varla Davis: What's in this one? [sniffs food] Turkey?
Adrian Monk: That's for you.
Varla Davis: For me? You didn't even know I was coming.
Adrian Monk: I know, but it's yours now.
Varla Davis: No meds, huh?

Quote from Adrian Monk

Varla Davis: I'm worried about that girl. I have never seen anybody fall apart that fast.
Adrian Monk: Really?
Varla Davis: I used to work in the psycho wards. Nobody starts hallucinating overnight, unless they've been chewing those mushrooms. But with Sharona, there were no warning signs at all. It just doesn't make sense.
Adrian Monk: You're right.
Varla Davis: I know I'm right. I don't need you to tell me I'm right. What are you doing?
Adrian Monk: I want to check something out. That's what I do. You come with me.
Varla Davis: What?
Adrian Monk: It's part of the job. I'm a detective, and you are my helper.
Varla Davis: I'm your what?

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: She parks the car here. She gets out, come on. You be her. Screwdriver man appears. He walks toward her.
Varla Davis: What is it? Is that a clue?
Adrian Monk: It's a silver tip from a cowboy boot. Sharona said he was wearing cowboy boots.
Varla Davis: Ooh, maybe it was Garth Brooks. There. I solved the case. [Monk smiles] What? Am I right about Garth Brooks?
Adrian Monk: She wasn't hallucinating. He was here. Wipe.
Varla Davis: Wipe what?
Adrian Monk: When I say "wipe," you give me a handwipe. That's how it works.
Varla Davis: That's how what works?
Adrian Monk: It.
Varla Davis: You better get over it real fast.

Quote from Lieutenant Disher

Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, I'm going to have another talk with the grieving widow.
Varla Davis: Yes, you do that. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on, Dishwater. I need you to take me home, baby. It's 5:30.
Lieutenant Disher: I have to go with the captain.
Varla Davis: No, you need to take me home. I'm not going to be standing around here watching y'all read nobody their rights, now. I'm ready to go. I said I say 5:30, I get off at 5:30. Get in the car. Come on. Get in the car. Let's go. What are you looking at? My eyes are up here!

Quote from Adrian Monk

Sharona: Do you want to wait here or meet me inside?
Adrian Monk: Uh... Um... I... I will say no.
Sharona: Why don't you just come with me?
Adrian Monk: No... Uh... Down there? I'm not, not good with garage. It's so, garage like.

Quote from Sharona

Lieutenant Disher: So listen, I got to file a report here. You understand, right? This man you saw he was, what, medium build, about 30 years old?
Sharona: Maybe 35. And he was wearing boots and a cowboy shirt.
Lieutenant Disher: And he, uh, had a knife in his chest.
Sharona: Yeah, and a screwdriver in his ear.
Lieutenant Disher: Flat head or Phillips head? Sorry. And this guy, he called you by your name.
Sharona: Yep.
Lieutenant Disher: I mean, did he say anything else?
Sharona: "Douglas is worried about you."
Lieutenant Disher: "Douglas is worried about you." Who's Douglas?
Sharona: Douglas was my father's name.
Lieutenant Disher: Well, where's he now?
Sharona: He's been dead for 20 years.

Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer

Captain Stottlemeyer: The luminol tests are negative. There is no sign of blood.
Adrian Monk: Well, maybe whoever killed the guy, cleaned up.
Captain Stottlemeyer: What, in two minutes, and got rid of a body? Even you couldn't do that.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: Look at the windshield.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Okay, what about it?
Adrian Monk: There were four dead bugs on that windshield in the shape of a trapezoid.
Captain Stottlemeyer: A trapezoid.
Adrian Monk: Yeah. They've been there all day. Somebody wiped it off.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, maybe she wiped it off.
Adrian Monk: Why would she do that?
Captain Stottlemeyer: You tell me. Look, Monk, you're the best on-site detective I know. Do you see anything here, anything at all besides the missing trapezoid bugs to corroborate her story?

Quote from Adrian Monk

Benjy: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What, what are you doing?
Adrian Monk: Putting them away. Hey, watch this. Two at a time.
Benjy: No, no, no. You're supposed to knock them down.
Adrian Monk: What?
Benjy: You're supposed to knock them over.
Adrian Monk: No, no, wait, wait, wait, Benjy, Benjy, Benjamin. No, no, see, if, if you knock that one over, then they're all going to go. And then, then you have a giant mess. Thank God I was here. Let's put them away. This is fun.
Benjy: But, you know...
Adrian Monk: Hey, hey. Let's put them away in order. Here. Here's a 2 dotter.
Benjy: Fine.
Adrian Monk: Looking for all the 2 dotters.

Quote from Benjy Fleming

Benjy: I can't believe she actually likes going to school. She stays up all night writing her stories.
Adrian Monk: What kind of stories?
Benjy: I don't know. She doesn't let me read them. I saw the name of one, though. "The Fatal Recipe. "
Adrian Monk: Yeah.
Benjy: I think it's a mystery.
