Adrian Monk: Could you? Wait. Wait.
Natalie: What?
Adrian Monk: We got him.
Captain Stottlemeyer: We got who?

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.

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.
