Lieutenant Disher: I think I know how Wagner did it. Okay. This is the ship. And let's pretend this globe represents the Earth.
Captain Stottlemeyer: That's a globe. It does represent the Earth.
Lieutenant Disher: Right. Okay. Here's what happened. First part was easy. He takes off. As he passes over San Francisco, he activates the escape pod.
Adrian Monk: Well, wait. Uh, wait. Uh, was- Was there an escape pod on the ship?
Lieutenant Disher: No. Not officially. But I think he smuggled one on.
Natalie: And where did he get it, the escape pod?
Lieutenant Disher: He built it.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah. Out of a kit in his basement.
Lieutenant Disher: He's resourceful. Anyway. Splashdown. He climbs out of the pod, makes his way to her house, kills her, climbs back onto the pod, fires up the engines, back in space.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Thank you, Randy. That's-
Lieutenant Disher: It's just a theory.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I don't think so. No. I've heard theories before and, uh, they don't sound like that.

Adrian Monk: [sighs] When I when I look at a man, a real man, like Steve Wagner... I just feel weak. I just feel so inadequate. I know he's guilty. But I'll never be able to prove it.
Dr. Kroger: Adrian, Steve Wagner is a human being. And if he's guilty, I know something he's very much afraid of.
Adrian Monk: What's that?
Dr. Kroger: You.

Adrian Monk: Career day. What would I talk about?
Natalie: Your career. Your job. [Monk groans] Oh, come on, Mr. Monk. It would mean so much to Julie.
Adrian Monk: Yeah. I can't do it. I'm sorry. I can't speak in public.
Natalie: See, that's not true. Remember when I first started working for you and you made that list of all your fears and phobias. There were 103 things. Public speaking wasn't one of them.
Adrian Monk: Actually, there were a couple of things that I didn't mention. I didn't want you to think I was weird.
