Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Actor
Director: And action!
Stottlemeyer Actor: Uh, look, I know he's a bit eccentric, but Adrian Monk is the best damn investigator I've ever had. So you tell the mayor, if he goes, I go. That's right. Lieutenant Disher! Lieutenant Disher, you got a minute?
Disher Actress: Yes, Captain?
Stottlemeyer Actor: Uh, what the hell do I say.
Producer: [o.s.] The victim.
Stottlemeyer Actor: I got it. The victim just received a check for $50,000. Pretty weird time to kill yourself. What do you think?
Disher Actress: I'll tell you what I think. I think the department doesn't appreciate you enough.
Stottlemeyer Actor: Randi, what are you doing?
Disher Actress: I'm doing what you taught me to do, Captain. Following my instincts. [they kiss]
Captain Stottlemeyer: That never happened.
Lieutenant Disher: Not even once.
‘Mr. Monk and the Actor’ Quotes
Quote from Lieutenant Disher
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
Dr. Kroger: That must have been a traumatic experience for you, Adrian. And what, they cancelled the movie?
Adrian Monk: He said he wanted to play a character that wasn't so dark and depressing. He's in England doing Hamlet.
Dr. Kroger: How about the little getaway you were planning? The weekend away? [off Monk's look] All right, okay. Maybe another time.
Adrian Monk: I guess I'm back to square one. Oh, it's nice to be home.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Lieutenant Disher: Uh, yeah, the victim's daughter was in here. She did a quick inventory. Said the guy took some cash from the register, maybe 35 bucks, the Smith and Wesson and a wristwatch.
Adrian Monk: A wristwatch?
David Ruskin: Why would he take only one?
Adrian Monk: Why wouldn't he just take everything in the case?
Lieutenant Disher: Well, he was probably in a hurry. He was afraid someone heard the shot.
Adrian Monk: No, no, no, no. It's clear from the footprints that he came here first. But he took the cheapest watch in the case. Look, $72. Why would he take the cheapest one and leave all the others? He must have been after that particular watch.
David Ruskin: Wow. [chuckles] Wow. That's like...
Adrian Monk: It's a gift and a curse.
David Ruskin: [laughs] I love it!
Captain Stottlemeyer: He says that all the time.
David Ruskin: He does? I love that! It's a gift and a curse.
