Captain Stottlemeyer: Thank you. Why is it numbered?

Adrian Monk: And number three?
Sharona: They're giving it away tomorrow. You play bingo?
Adrian Monk: No. Is it fun?
Sharona: It's a lot of fun. You're gonna hate it.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: He never apologized. Did you notice that?

Sharona: Are you gonna stay mad at him forever?
Adrian Monk: No, not forever. Just until I die.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Sharona: Was that your swing set?
Adrian Monk: My father put it up when I was eight. It's probably the happiest day of my life.
Sharona: Looked like fun.
Adrian Monk: I wouldn't know.
Sharona: You never used it?
Adrian Monk: I mean, look at it. It's a death trap. But it was fun watching him put it up.
Sharona: He must have been disappointed.
Adrian Monk: Well, he was used to it by then. Two months later, he went out to pick up some Chinese food, never came back.

Ambrose Monk: He has you.

Adrian Monk: Yes, I do.
Ambrose Monk: You don't know everything! Mr. Great Detective! Why aren't you out there looking for him?
Adrian Monk: 'Cause I'm afraid I might find him.

Quote from Lieutenant Disher

Adrian Monk: Captain, here. He's trying- He's- He's trying to get rid of the evidence!
Sharona: It's in the pie!
Pat van Ranken: Officer, I'd like to file a complaint. These two have been harassing me all weekend.
Lieutenant Disher: Sir, could you put the pie on the truck?
Pat van Ranken: What?
Lieutenant Disher: You heard me. Put the pie down and step away. Step away from the pie.
Pat van Ranken: Look, I live next door to his brother. They're both nuts.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I know they are, sir. Please, put the pie on the truck. Please.
