Adrian Monk Quote #909
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Goes Home Again
Ambrose Monk: Adrian.
Adrian Monk: I'm with you, I'm right here.
Ambrose Monk: Tell me who did this.
Adrian Monk: Ssh. It doesn't matter.
Ambrose Monk: It matters to me. I don't want to die without knowing. Tell me, Adrian.
Adrian Monk: Okay. Here's what happened. His name is Paul Gilstrap. He wanted to kill his wife. He worked in a laboratory where they made tetrachlorodrine. A few days ago, he snuck in there and he stole some of it. Ambrose, I met his wife when I went trick-or-treating with Julie. And she said that she ate a Neptune bar every night before bed. Gilstrap poisoned her candy. But he couldn't poison just one. He wanted to make it look like there was a serial killer on the loose, so he had to poison a lot of other candy bars. Put them back into circulation.
Ambrose Monk: So his wife would just be another victim.
Adrian Monk: That's right.
Ambrose Monk: It's a good plan.
Adrian Monk: But he made a mistake. He got caught trying to put the poison back.
Ambrose Monk: Ruined everything.
Adrian Monk: That's right. It ruined everything. Because now if his wife or anyone else died from tetrachlorodrine, they'd know it was him. So he was desperate. He had to get all of the poisoned candy bars out of circulation. He found them all except for two.
Ambrose Monk: Right.
Adrian Monk: The armored car driver had one. He had already taken a bite. If the driver just dropped dead, Gilstrap knew there'd be an autopsy. So he had to think fast. He grabbed the driver's gun and shot him repeatedly. Who would bother looking for poison in a guy who had been shot five times?
Ambrose Monk: Which left just one candy bar. The one I ate.
Adrian Monk: That's right. He's been trying to get it back all night.

‘Here's What Happened’
Quote from Lieutenant Disher in Mr. Monk and the Actor
Lieutenant Disher: How you doin'? We were looking at this case all wrong. It wasn't a burglary. It was all about the wall. The whole time. Here's what happened. The killer was in here last Thursday night. This is where he met Michelle Cullman. They have an artist in here a few nights a week sketching the customers. He drew their picture right there on the wall. After the murder, the killer remembered the sketch. That sketch could hang him. It could prove that he was with the victim the night she died. And it would prove what he was wearing. The same shirt we found at the murder scene. He had to destroy that sketch. So he smashed through the wall and pretended it was part of a burglary. He just pretended to be breaking into a pawn shop. It was never about the pawnshop.
Female Cop: I know.
Lieutenant Disher: You know?
Female Cop: I was here ten minutes ago when Monk was explaining it to you.
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized
Lieutenant Disher: All right, well she told some paramedic that she loosened one of those baseboards. She pretended to be asleep. When he came back to check on her. Bam. Side of the head. [Monk laughs]
Captain Stottlemeyer: Monk, do you have something you'd like to share with the rest of us?
Adrian Monk: I can see his butt.
Natalie: Mr. Monk, the man is dead.
Adrian Monk: Yeah, of embarrassment! Sorry. I've got it. Here's what happened. Tuesday night, Larkin abducted his wife from that parking lot. He overpowered her. Maybe he drugged her. Then, he brought her up here. He kept her prisoner. For three days, he taunted her. He humiliated her. Something about some jewelry. He- He even refused to feed her. But last night he went a little too far. In all the excitement, his pants fell down. He killed himself. He didn't have a choice. She'd seen his hiney. [laughs]
Captain Stottlemeyer: I think we're done here.
