Adrian Monk Quote #370
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect
Adrian Monk: Well, first off I'd like to thank United States postal worker Tamil Swarma for helping us out here today.
Tamil Swarma: We're glad to help our brothers and sister in the law enforcement community. We just wear a different shade of blue, that's all.
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah! [claps] Yeah.
Adrian Monk: Brian Babbage wanted to kill his brother and sister. He found a way to mail a bomb in May but not have it be delivered until August. It was quite brilliant, really.
Tamil Swarma: Yes, it was. Although by doing so, he violated two federal laws, and a score of postal regulations. Go on.
Adrian Monk: When I recently saw some wallpaper peeling off a wall it reminded me of the ketchup bottles in Brian Babbage's closet. They were glued to the ceiling. The glue was the key.
Agent Grooms: There was no glue in the bomb.
Captain Stottlemeyer: It wasn't part of the bomb. It was part of the delivery mechanism.
Adrian Monk & Tamil Swarma: Exactly!
Adrian Monk: It was an experiment. A stress test. The ketchup bottles weighed about the same as the mail bombs. He was trying to find out how long they would stick before they fell off.
Agent Grooms: I don't get it.
Adrian Monk: Tamil. Four months ago, Brian Babbage went around the city late at night. Cracked open the panel on a couple of these mailboxes.
Tamil Swarma: These locks are pretty simple to pick I've talked to my supervisors, but they don't listen.
Adrian Monk: Tamil.
Tamil Swarma: Don't make waves, you know? Everybody just wants to hit their 20 and get out.
Adrian Monk: I can take it from here. Brian put the bombs in the mailboxes, but he didn't put them on the bottom with the rest of the mail. He glued them to the top. You see, it's a blind spot. Nobody ever looks up there. Why would they? Four months later, the glue dries up, the bomb falls down, and the next day, the mailman picks it up with the rest of the mail.
Captain Stottlemeyer: It was like a time-released mail bomb.
Tamil Swarma: The U.S. Post Office unwittingly became the messenger of evil. Who'd have thunk it?
Adrian Monk: Well put, Tamil.
