Captain Stottlemeyer Quote #399
Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk's Favorite Show
Natalie: So who was he?
Captain Stottlemeyer: A nobody. Well, as close to a nobody as you're gonna find. Timlinson. We just ran his name. Never been arrested. Not even a traffic ticket. Manages a Taco Bell. Before that, 15 years with the city parks and maintenance. Before that, he was in the mail room at some accounting firm. Before that, a couple years of community college. Under the radar his whole life until about an hour ago.
Natalie: And he wrote all those letters?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah, looks like it. We found more in his coat. Plus the handwriting matches, at least to me. Plus he lives in Sunset Heights. That's where the letters were postmarked.
Natalie: Why would he do it?
Adrian Monk: Maybe he loved the show. Maybe the show meant the world to him, and she betrayed everything it stood for.
Captain Stottlemeyer: He read the book, didn't he? Not page 73?
Natalie: No, I ate it.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Good.

Quote from Adrian Monk
Adrian Monk: You want to make sure those doors are double bolted and change the locks.
Kim Kelly: Yes, sir. I'll take care of it.
Adrian Monk: Oh, and you're gonna need to black out all those windows. Buy some curtains. Make sure they're heavy. Remember when Billy and Danny rigged all the window curtains to make you think there was a ghost? That was another classic. [looks at the ceiling above the bed] A mirror? Oh, very good. Excellent precaution. I see, so that if you're lying in bed and someone breaks in through that door... You have the... Triangul... I don't get it.
Christine Rapp: It's more of a personal thing. You know, you should really read my book.
Adrian Monk: Yeah, yeah, I can't wait.
Quote from Natalie
Adrian Monk: This is unbelievable. Of course someone's trying to kill her. Anyone she's ever met has a motive. Anyone who's ever read this has a motive. There's a page missing, page 73.
Natalie: Maybe it fell out.
Adrian Monk: Pages just don't fall out.
Natalie: Mr. Monk, it fell out.
Adrian Monk: It was torn out.
Natalie: It fell out. Stop it, stop it, stop it. No! No, Mr. Monk, you don't want to see page 73.
Adrian Monk: What? It can't be any worse than the rest of it.
Natalie: You wanna bet?
Adrian Monk: I have to know.
Natalie: No, Mr. Monk, please. Mr. Monk, please.
Adrian Monk: It's my book. Let me see it. Let me see it. [Natalie eats the page] What are you doing?
Natalie: It's for your own good.
Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Adrian Monk: I know this sounds crazy, but I've seen this handwriting somewhere before.
Natalie: Where?
Adrian Monk: I don't know. Somewhere.
Lieutenant Disher: Well, he's obviously disguising it. He probably uses his left hand.
Natalie: That makes sense.
Lieutenant Disher: Or if he was a lefty he used his right hand.
Natalie: That makes sense.
Lieutenant Disher: Or if he was ambidextrous, he probably got drunk and then wrote it.
Natalie: That makes less sense.
