Adrian Monk: He is carrying something. Could be St. Christopher. He's the patron saint of travelers.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Okay. Likes to travel.
Adrian Monk: What is that, a lion?
Lieutenant Disher: Zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo... zookeeper! A traveling, dancing zookeeper.
Captain Stottlemeyer: This is not a game show, Randy.
Natalie: Well, it could be an astrological sign. So she's a leo.
Captain Stottlemeyer: A leo.
Adrian Monk: What is that? Looks like a ruby.
Natalie: Yeah.
Lieutenant Disher: Rubies, so that's jewelry. She makes jewelry. She's a dancing zookeeper's daughter who makes jewelry!
Captain Stottlemeyer: Okay! I'm making an announcement. If our suspect turns out to be a dancing zookeeper's daughter who makes jewelry, I'm gonna retire.

Natalie: We're friends of Leyla's. She's in trouble. She's in very big trouble.
Adrian Monk: Mrs. Zlatavich, we know- We know you killed this man. Your daughter is in jail now. Leyla is protecting you. You came here on her birthday, didn't you? To surprise her.
Mrs. Zlatavich: [speaks native language]
Natalie: Y- Y- You were giving her a gift. A bracelet.
Adrian Monk: Yeah, yeah. You landed at the airport. And you got into a taxi, but you had the wrong address. Look. Algonquin Avenue, right? That was her old address. You didn't know she had moved.
Mrs. Zlatavich: [gives a "Here's what happened" summation in her native language]

Captain Stottlemeyer: We found this in the cab. It's got a design on it. Could be an invitation or something. And we found this under the backseat. There's blood splatter on it. We think the killer was wearing it.
Adrian Monk: A charm bracelet. Trudy had one of these. Usually, these aren't just decorative, though. Each one of these little charms could mean something. "L.Z." Probably her initials.
Captain Stottlemeyer: L.Z. That's good. There can't be a lot of Zs out there.
Natalie: Ballet slippers. Maybe she's a dancer or used to be.
Captain Stottlemeyer: That's good.
Adrian Monk: There's a man with a beard.
Natalie: Looks like Santa Claus.
Lieutenant Disher: Maybe she likes Christmas!
Captain Stottlemeyer: I'm not going to write down that she likes Christmas.

Leyla Zlatavich: I feel so foolish. I didn't recognize you when we spoke yesterday at the refugee center. You are the famous detective. Today, some policemen came. They brought me to the police station. They asked me a lot of questions. They think I'm a suspect. They think I killed a taxi driver. How could they think that? I don't understand.
Adrian Monk: They only think that because of all the evidence against you. Some policemen have this thing about evidence.

Leyla Zlatavich: Did you like this?
Adrian Monk: It was wonderful. It was just-- It was just wonderful. Thank you for bringing me here. So, where do you want to eat?
Leyla Zlatavich: Oh, no, no, no. We're eating here. This is our food.
Adrian Monk: Hey, I don't think so.
Leyla Zlatavich: Pezni. "Pezni" means delicious.
Adrian Monk: Oh, pezni.
Leyla Zlatavich: What did you think he was doing?
Adrian Monk: I-I don't know. I thought it was some kind of way, way off-Broadway cabaret-type thing.
Leyla Zlatavich: It's an old Zemenian tradition. They prepare the food in front of you to whet your appetite.
Adrian Monk: Yeah, yeah. But he was juggling the food, I mean, and then it went in his hat. Then it came out of his hat. I mean, I've never seen a recipe that included the word "hat", really. [The cook serves their food] You know what? I just remembered, I had Zemenian for lunch.
Leyla Zlatavich: Detective Monk, I don't believe you.

Adrian Monk: Well, it could be a birthstone, right? What is ruby?
Sanchez: Uh, my mom wears one. A ruby is July. If she's a leo that was born in July, that narrows it down to nine days between July 23rd and the 31st.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Alright, here's what we know. We're looking for a woman whose initials are L.Z., maybe she's a dancer. She likes to travel or works with people who travel, and she was born between July 23rd and July 31st.
Lieutenant Disher: I can't think of anyone.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I thought maybe we'd use the computer for this one, Randy.
Lieutenant Disher: That's a good idea.

[As Monk straightens up the "Zemenian" flag in the refugee center:]
Leyla Zlatavich: [speaks native language]
Adrian Monk: Uh. Flag was falling. Falling.
Leyla Zlatavich: That's good! Your English is really good. Keep practicing. You're frightened. I can tell. But you're safe here. Everything will be all right. Do you understand? We'll get you some clothes so you can fit in. No one is going to laugh at you anymore. Would you like that?
Adrian Monk: [chuckles]
Leyla Zlatavich: Would you like some water?
Adrian Monk: [groans]
Leyla Zlatavich: I'll be right back.

Barber: [pours water on a homeless man] This ain't a hotel. Go on, get outta here.
Leyla Zlatavich: What are you doing? You can't treat people like that.
Barber: Lady, this is none of your business.
Leyla Zlatavich: This man is a human being.
Barber: Barely.
Leyla Zlatavich: I know your kind. I've seen it my whole life. You're a hooligan. You're a bully! He could've had a heart attack.
Barber: Lady, get outta my face before I call a cop.
Adrian Monk: Hey, I'll save you the time. [flashes wallet] I am the cops.
Barber: Where's your badge?
Adrian Monk: I'm a former cop. You wanna know why they kicked me out? You don't wanna know why they kicked me out! [hands the homeless man the barber's towel]
Leyla Zlatavich: Why did they kick you out?
Adrian Monk: Nervous breakdown.

Leyla Zlatavich: I never imagined that such a thing was possible in America. To be sent to prison for something I didn't do.
Adrian Monk: You are not going to prison. All we have to do is figure out what happened. Here. They found this bracelet in the taxicab. All the charms seem to point to you. It has your initials, see.
Leyla Zlatavich: Yes, the police showed this to me. Yeah, but it isn't mine. I told them I've never seen it before.
Adrian Monk: Okay, what about your alibi? Where were you Monday night?
Leyla Zlatavich: Monday night was my birthday. I went home alone. I turned my telephone off. Lit a candle, made a wish, went to bed early. Pretty exciting life, huh?
Adrian Monk: Is- Is that it? That's your alibi. That might be the worst alibi I've ever heard. Ever, in my life. Which is good. Because if you were guilty, you would have come up with something better, right?

Adrian Monk: Leyla. How's she doing?
Leyla Zlatavich: It should be me in there. You know I wanted to go.
Adrian Monk: I know. I know. The D.A. just called. Everybody understands what happened. Why she did what she did. She'll be out in two years. Probably less with good behavior.
Leyla Zlatavich: Two years?
Adrian Monk: I'm sure it'll be less. She seems like a very well-behaved older woman. I only met her the one time, but...
Leyla Zlatavich: Why did you do it? Why did you bring her in?
Adrian Monk: Because... Because she did it.
Leyla Zlatavich: My mother is going to jail.
Adrian Monk: Okay, let's-- Let's go somewhere and talk about it.
Leyla Zlatavich: No. Not now. Go back to your wife, Detective Monk.
Adrian Monk: Did you- Did you just say "wife" or "life"?
Leyla Zlatavich: Both.
