Adrian Monk Quote #2389
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Foreign Man
Samuel Waingaya: I am Samuel Waingaya.
Adrian Monk: Tell me about her. Here, sit down.
Samuel Waingaya: Her name was Ansara. It means sunflower. That is what she was. She was a school teacher. This is why she was here. A teaching conference, two weeks in San Francisco. She was so excited.
Adrian Monk: What happened?
Samuel Waingaya: I don't know exactly, but she was at the grocery store down the street buying food, and a vehicle, I think a van, drove through a red light. It kept going.
Adrian Monk: Oh, a hit-and-run. I remember reading about that. I was out of town when it happened.
But it was in all the newspapers when I got back. How do they know it was a van?
Samuel Waingaya: They don't, but I do. I saw the tire tracks on the street. They were still there when I got here. I know something about cars. I'm a mechanic back home. [takes out fragments of glass] They were in the road. They are from a headlamp.
Adrian Monk: Have you been to the police?
Samuel Waingaya: They are doing all they can. That is what they say.
Adrian Monk: And you made these? "Reward for information. 12,000 Naira." That's very generous.
Samuel Waingaya: Not really. It is $85. I am not a rich man like you.
