Captain Stottlemeyer: So we don't know who, we don't know where, we don't know why, but we do know how. She was strangled with this. A very fancy necktie.
Natalie: Chalmers of London.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yep, very high end. They don't even sell these in the States. Let's start here.
Natalie: Wouldn't it be easier to get some DNA and try to find the father?
Lieutenant Disher: There is no father.
Natalie: She was pregnant.
Lieutenant Disher: Nope, she wasn't.
Natalie: But we found those pregnancy tests in her apartment, and they were all positive.
Captain Stottlemeyer: We told Dr. Kay what you had found. We had him check twice, and the councilwoman was not pregnant.
Lieutenant Disher: Not even close.
Natalie: Okay, wait, I don't understand. You know, this was her love nest. No one else lived there. Why should she have somebody else's home pregnancy test?

Harold Krenshaw: So let's get started. Maria Schecter is joining us. She'll be acting as Eileen's proxy. I see you're well prepared.
Maria Schecter: Yes, this is her journal, so I know what she was thinking, and how she would want me to vote. Adrian Monk even underlined all the important stuff, and even made little arrows.
Harold Krenshaw: How nice for you. Well, let's get right to it. We have some old business. Resolution 12-B. We will be voting yet again on whether to preserve or demolish the parking garage on Somerset avenue. By a show of hands, all those in favor of demolishing the garage, and replacing it with a beautiful, long-overdue neighborhood playground and park. [three councilors, including Harold, raise their hands] Three. All those opposed to the children's playground.
[After three people, but not Maria, raise their hands, Monk uses his pinky finger to signal for Maria to raise her hand.]

Adrian Monk: Democracy in action. It's a beautiful thing.
Natalie: I'm not sure it's exactly what the Founding Fathers had in mind.
Adrian Monk: I can't believe I won! I can't remember the last time I won anything. Did you see Harold's face? Oh, that was the sweetest part. There he is. There he is. Who wants to shake my hand? I'll shake anybody's hand. No wipes, no wipes, limited time offer. Harold? No? Paul?
Paul Crawford: I'll take you up on that. Congratulations, Mr. Monk. The shrine to your beloved late Trudy's still intact, and I still have my parking space.
Adrian Monk: Yeah. [signals for Natalie to give him a wipe]
Paul Crawford: All's right with the world.
Adrian Monk: Yeah.

Adrian Monk: I feel like celebrating. How do people celebrate?
Paul Crawford: They take their friends to the nearest bar, and buy them some very expensive wine. There's one across the street.
Adrian Monk: I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna do it. Who's with me? Who's gonna come? It's my treat. Wait a minute, who said that?
Natalie: Who said that?
Adrian Monk: Did I say that? [chuckles] I don't know.Harold?
Harold Krenshaw: [murmurs]
Adrian Monk: Paul?
Paul Crawford: I'll catch up to you.
Adrian Monk: Great, great. Maria, let's go.
Maria Schecter: I can't go, obviously. [points to baby bump]
Adrian Monk: Ah, I understand. Well, thanks for everything. And I'll talk to you later. [Monk turns to leave, but then stops] You can't drink, because you're pregnant.
Maria Schecter: Duh.

Adrian Monk: Looks like we have two reasons to celebrate. Come on.
Maria Schecter: A dolt?
Adrian Monk: Sorry?
Maria Schecter: Is that what you think? After I came down here and voted for you and helped save your stupid parking garage? You think I'm an idiot?
Adrian Monk: I- I- I didn't say that.
Maria Schecter: Yes, you did. Like, 20 times. You said I was a moron, And that the only reason anyone would hire me was for my pee.
Adrian Monk: Okay, Maria, I'm sorry. I got excited. You know, people say things when they get excited.
Maria Schecter: I can say things too. I'm changing my vote.
Adrian Monk: What?
Maria Schecter: I'm changing my vote.
Adrian Monk: What?
Maria Schecter: I want the playground, not the parking garage.
