Quote from Adrian Monk
Adrian Monk: Do we have a plan?
Sharona: Yeah. The plan is, we find Dexter Larsen and kill him.
Adrian Monk: Do we have a Plan "B"?
Sharona: I told you you didn't have to come. This is between me and Dexter.
Adrian Monk: All right. Just... Just don't kill him. That would be so wrong.
Quote from Sharona
Dexter Larsen: You like it? This is my first workbench. I had them move it here from Cincinnati. And that's how I started out. I was experimenting, tinkering. I was a nerd, publishing my little electronics magazine. I was the kind of guy that a woman like you never talked to.
Sharona: You still are.
Dexter Larsen: If you're here to beg, you're not off to a very promising start. And if you're here to threaten me, you can save your breath, because that release you signed is airtight.
Sharona: I have a kid.
Dexter Larsen: Then keep your friend, Mr. Monk, out of my face.
Sharona: Okay, you listen to me, you twisted, porn-peddling freak. If you print those pictures, you're gonna hurt my son. You hurt my son, I'm comin' after you. And I am gonna dedicate my life to ruining yours.
Dexter Larsen: Yeah, well, take a number.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Adrian Monk: "Hold me, Adrian, my darling husband, true love's touch so rare a gift. How much more precious is your caress, who loves so deeply yet fears the warmth of hand on hand. Still, your love is given free only to me, only to me." That was- That was the last poem she ever wrote.
Party Guy: Anyone want to jump in the pool?
Sapphire Girl #1: I just wanna go home.
Sapphire Girl #2: Me too.
Quote from Sharona
Sharona: You know how sometimes you make a mistake and you mess up, but you know I still love you anyway?
Benjy: Yeah.
Sharona: Yeah, well, sometimes mommies make mistakes too. And when you were a baby, I made a very big one.
Benjy: What kind of mistake?
Sharona: I can't tell you.
Benjy: What, did you kill a guy?
Sharona: No, I didn't kill anybody. But somebody took pictures of me makin' this mistake.
Benjy: What kind of pictures? [off Sharona's look] Oh.
Sharona: Benjy, the reason why I'm telling you this is because we're workin' on a case, and somebody is threatening to print these pictures if we don't let him go.
Benjy: Is he a bad guy?
Sharona: A very bad guy. Now, I had to tell you this because, if they ever got published, you're gonna hear about it in school. How do you feel about this?
Benjy: I don't know.
Sharona: Honey. I was really trying to make a better life for us.
Benjy: Mom, you can't let somebody get away just because I might have a bad day at school.
Sharona: Have I told you how much I love you?
Benjy: Not since lunch. You know, I'm missing my show.
Sharona: One hour.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Adrian Monk: I never realized how strong an electromagnet like that could be. I'm told that one can lift a car. With your background in electronics, building a device like this was child's play. You needed a car battery. You borrowed one from your own Mercedes the night before the murder. You couldn't risk driving one of your own cars, so you took Mr. Bonaduce's keys and borrowed his. And since you had found Noelle Winters's apartment for her, you had copies of all her keys. You knew the apartment was empty because you had sent Ms. Winters to Europe. Now you were where you wanted to be directly below Elliott D'Souza's penthouse, right under his private gym. You knew Elliott worked out every morning. You could hear the weights clanging through the ceiling. You phoned him to make sure he was in position. And then you killed him... Without ever setting foot in the room. That's why the computer disk was erased and the clock was a little off. I knew there was something wrong with that room. Everything was turned around. The pens and the stapler, they were all facing the same way.
