Adrian Monk Quote #1799
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Wrong Man
Sarah McNally: Ask me anything. Lieutenant Culkin's badge number, 3241. You were driving a white Chevrolet with one of those green air fresheners.
Natalie: Photographic memory.
Sarah McNally: Like I said, I know what I saw. I heard screaming. I went to the window. And I saw him. Max Barton. Leaving that house. I will never forget it. How he walked down the street, his hands in his pocket, like he didn't have a care in the world.
Adrian Monk: His hands were in his pockets?
Natalie: What, what, what, what?
Adrian Monk: The killer used an acetylene torch to break into the safe. We never found it. If the man you saw wasn't carrying anything...
Natalie: There was a second man. An accomplice.
Adrian Monk: An accomplice. That's whose DNA they found. I was right the first time. He was there. I never figured on a second man.
Natalie: Let's call the Captain.
Sarah McNally: It's too late. He's been exonerated. It's called double jeopardy. You can't try a man twice for the same crime.
Natalie: Wait, wait, that's it? He gets away with murder?

Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Lieutenant Disher: "Will you be reopening the case?"
Captain Stottlemeyer: We already have reopened the case. And, uh, as you know, there is no statute of limitations on murder. However, we... What the hell is going on?
Lieutenant Disher: [smiling] It wasn't me.
Captain Stottlemeyer: What wasn't you?
Lieutenant Disher: This screw-up. It wasn't me. It's always me. I can't believe it's not me. It's always me. This wasn't me. I wasn't even on the force back then.
Captain Stottlemeyer: You understand that this wasn't a traffic violation. An innocent man spent fourteen years of his life in a state penitentiary, and the son of a bitch that murdered those poor people is still out there.
Lieutenant Disher: Yes, sir. I know, but it wasn't me.
Captain Stottlemeyer: You're right, Randy. It wasn't you. It was Adrian Monk's case. I just talked to Natalie. Monk is devastated. I can't blame him. Can you imagine? The guilt. The pain. Adrian Monk had this much confidence to begin with, this'll probably kill him. What have you got to say to that?
Lieutenant Disher: It wasn't me.

Cindy: His ex-wife used to work here. She quit four years ago.

Adrian Monk: Okay. She's in a hotel. Probably a resort near a beach. There's sand on the bedspread.
Max Barton: A- a resort?
Adrian Monk: Yeah. See? The- The card on the gift basket? It's in dutch, so she's probably in St. Martin.
Max Barton: St. Martin? She was always talking about that place.
Adrian Monk: Yeah. She's not alone. Two plates on the room service cart. It's probably a man, because the toilet seat is up. You can see it in... In the reflection in the mirror.
Max Barton: A man?!
Adrian Monk: Okay, did I Did I say a man? Look, I-I could be wrong. Max, I am not an expert on toilet seats. Did she stand up when she made water? Look, I could be wrong.
Natalie: Yeah, he's wrong a lot. I- I don't have to tell you that.

Dr. Kroger: And Natalie can't do it either.
