Adrian Monk: Perfect.
Sketch Artist: Thank God. All right, let's move on. Tell me about this guy's eyes.
Adrian Monk: I didn't see his eyes. He was covering his face, so... All I saw was a left ear.
Sketch Artist: What are we supposed to do with this? I can't distribute this.
Adrian Monk: I'd recognize him.
Sketch Artist: From this?
Adrian Monk: Every ear is different. They're like fingerprints.
Sharona: Hey, how's it going?
Sketch Artist: This is all that he saw.
Adrian Monk: You know what? The earlobe was a little rounder.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: You found the hotel key card, so you knew where he was staying. You ran the whole way. You probably didn't even notice that it started to rain. [to the busboy] You. It was you. You filthy, disgusting animal. You make me sick!
Busboy: Me?
Sharona: What are you doing? He's a busboy.
Adrian Monk: Sharona, don't you recognize him from the subway? He's the urinator. Urinator! It was you. Don't, don't, don't, don't try to deny it.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Monk!
Adrian Monk: We saw what you-
Captain Stottlemeyer: Monk! Could we get back to the quadruple homicide, please?
Adrian Monk: Yeah, he followed the ambassador to the hotel, the ambassador must have noticed the jewelry, Leight killed them all, switched coats, and that's how one of them was wet. You. Where were you raised? I mean, how can you live with yourself? Disgusting pig. And you work in the food service industry, for god's sake.
Sharona: Will you control yourself?
Captain Walter Cage: The ballistics check out. The wife was killed with the same gun. Mr. Leight, you're under arrest for four counts of premeditated homicide.
Adrian Monk: Sir, captain Cage, I'm going to need to borrow these handcuffs, 'cause you're going down, Mr.
Pee.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Monk.
Sharona: Adrian, that man took a whiz in the subway. That man killed four people in cold blood. Now, who do you think we should arrest?
Adrian Monk: ... The murderer.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Captain Walter Cage: Mr. Monk. Mr. Monk. We know about your reputation, and we, uh, we appreciate your help, but this is a big case. I've got the Feds breathing down my neck. I've got CNN outside. I don't have all day here.
Adrian Monk: I can't focus. It's too noisy.
Captain Walter Cage: What's -What's noisy?
Adrian Monk: It's, uh, it's the traffic.
