Adrian Monk Quote #150
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Marathon Man
Adrian Monk: Sharona, it was right in front of us. We were looking at it all wrong. We thought that Trevor McDowell gave his computer chip to another runner.
Sharona: Like Tonday.
Adrian Monk: Like Tonday, but no other runner had the exact same time, right?
Sharona: Right.
Adrian Monk: I was just watching the tape again, and I realized it wasn't another runner. There was somebody else who ran that whole race from start to finish.
Sharona: Who?
Adrian Monk: The TV camera bike. McDowell never even attached the chip to his shoe. He stuck it somewhere on the vehicle. Maybe he taped it or used one of those magnetic hide-a-key deals. McDowell started the race like everybody else. He followed Tonday and the bike for a few miles. Then, when he got to the curve in the road, Trevor McDowell quit the race, but his computer chip continued on. It didn't miss a single checkpoint. He had a change of clothes hidden in the bushes.
Sharona: Near the batch of chamomile.
Adrian Monk: Exactly. Then, after the murder, he reentered the race just before the end. The finish line was mass confusion. It was easy to rejoin the race. And that was it. He had an airtight alibi. It was the perfect crime. But what happened to the chip? I think it's still on the bike. There was no reason for him to retrieve it. Nobody knew it was there. And even if they did find it, they wouldn't know what it was. Here! Here we are.

Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Commentator: [on TV] There is something you don't see every day. A runner in this race with four legs.
Lieutenant Disher: Hang on a second. Stop the tape.
Captain Stottlemeyer: What?
Lieutenant Disher: What's that right there? Go back a little. Is that a dog?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah. It's a poodle.
Lieutenant Disher: Maybe he put the chip in the dog collar.
Captain Stottlemeyer: That's a little poodle. Can a little poodle run 26 miles?
Lieutenant Disher: Maybe he drugged it. I mean, if it's on drugs, yeah. I can call a vet.
Quote from Sharona
Sharona: Why don't you sit down? [Monk shakes his head] Well, at least hold the pole. [Monk shakes his head] How do you explain this: I touch everything you're afraid to touch, and I never get sick.
Adrian Monk: I can't explain it. It's inexplicable.
Sharona: No. You're inexplicable.

Trevor McDowell: Well, well, well. If it isn't Mr. Monk and Sharona, am I right? What can I do for you?

Adrian Monk: No, thanks.
Trevor McDowell: I'll make you a great deal. Free home delivery.
Adrian Monk: We're not here to shop.
