Natalie Quote #180
Quote from Natalie in Mr. Monk and the Birds and the Bees
Tim: Julie's t-shirt?
Natalie: That's what this whole thing has been about.
Tim: Her t-shirt? I don't understand.
Natalie: Tim, I've been waiting a long time to say this. Here's what happened. We know Dewey Jordan has been here. Mr. Monk noticed some game coupons in his apartment. Rob Sherman and Dewey Jordan met a couple weeks ago at the courthouse. Sherman probably told Dewey he was pulling some kind of insurance scam, but they had to meet again some place to work out the details. They met here at the pier. It was perfect; noisy, a big crowd, nobody would notice them.
Tim: But I don't understand, what does all this have to do with Julie?
Natalie: It was the same day you and Julie were here getting your picture taken.
Tim: Our picture?
Natalie: Exactly. The photographer had you pose right over there. But there were other people standing behind you. That's where Mr. Monk had seen them together. On Julie's t-shirt. They were in the background the whole time.
Tim: That would make sense. That's why he was acting so weird that day we met him.
Natalie: When Mr. Sherman saw that t-shirt, he knew he was in trouble. He saw Julie hanging out with Mr. Monk, the Captain, and Randy. It was only a matter of time before somebody noticed it.
Tim: I know, but why didn't he just try to steal it?
Natalie: Much too risky. Remember, he didn't have to destroy the shirt. He just wanted Julie to stop wearing it. So he had his girlfriend contact Clay. She pretended to be Julie's Aunt.
Tim: I get it. Julie breaks up with me and she never wears the shirt again.
Natalie: She's right, you are pretty smart. That's why we're here. The Captain's getting a search warrant. The photo booth keeps backup copies of all the pictures.
Tim: Uh, copy? Why- Why do you need a copy? Where's the t-shirt?
Natalie: Julie burned it.
Tim: She what?
Natalie: Sorry.

‘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.
‘Mr. Monk and the Birds and the Bees’ Quotes
Quote from Adrian Monk
Natalie: Mr. Monk, please. This is important to me. Julie loves you. You're like family, you know that.
Adrian Monk: Just I can't- I just can't. Why don't you ask the Captain or anybody else. When it comes to this particular issue, I'm probably the least qualified person in North America.
Natalie: That's what makes you perfect. You waited for Trudy. You were faithful. You respected her. You're a wonderful role model.
Adrian Monk: Huh?
Natalie: In this particular case.
Adrian Monk: Why don't you just give it a few weeks? See how it goes. I always find doing nothing and never mentioning it again is always the best policy.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Julie Teeger: What's going on?
Adrian Monk: She wanted me to talk to you about... Certain things about life. And, uh... And things... [whispers] She's right out front. [loudly] She thought it might be helpful if you had someone you could talk to. [whispers] I'm supposed to be giving you the big talk.
Julie Teeger: [whispers] Why?
Adrian Monk: Because you're dating an older boy.
Julie Teeger: No, I mean why you?
Adrian Monk: That's what I said. [loudly] See, Julie, the years between 14 and 32 are a very confusing time for a young girl.
Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Captain Stottlemeyer: Randy, they're two blurs. Even for blurs, they're blurry. Can you make it bigger?
Lieutenant Disher: It's already enhanced.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, that could be anybody. That could be Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
Lieutenant Disher: But they're both dead.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Ginger Rogers is not dead.
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, I'm pretty sure she is dead. I'm sorry. Even if she wasn't, what would Fred and Ginger be doing in the courthouse?
Captain Stottlemeyer: I'm not saying it is Fred and Ginger, I'm just saying that you can't tell who or what they are.
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, look. Right There. [starts drawing on the screen] See? He comes in, they shake hands. That is definitely Rob Sherman.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Is that a permanent marker?
Lieutenant Disher: No, it'll come off.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I don't think so.
Lieutenant Disher: [attempts to wipe it off] Have you seen the new screens? Pretty beautiful. Flat.
Captain Stottlemeyer: You're worse than Monk.
