Adrian Monk Quote #456
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the TV Star
Captain Stottlemeyer: Brad Terry, you're under arrest for the murder of your ex-wife.
Brad Terry: You can't be serious. I was out on the front lawn the whole time. Everybody saw me.
Adrian Monk: You made sure everybody saw you by pretending to be drunk and staging that fight a few days earlier. After an incident like that, you knew the press would follow you anywhere.
Sharona: That was the whole idea. You needed witnesses. [Monk tosses a tape to Disher]
Brad Terry: [on tape] I was at a bar, Eric. Yeah, I had a drink or two. And some peanuts. Listen, stay off the property, please. Leave Susan out of it.
Adrian Monk: Okay. Freeze it right there.
Brad Terry: That proves it. I was outside when she screamed.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Oh, yeah, she screamed, but that scream was 15 years old.
Adrian Monk: [holding a tape] You recognize this? This is the first movie your wife ever made. It took us forever to track it down. The movie's been out of print for years.
Susan Malloy: [on tape: screams] What are you doing! [on tape: screams] What are you doing!
Sharona: Marci Maven recognized the scream 'cause she's seen the movie a hundred times.
