Adrian Monk Quote #1609
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Really, Really Dead Guy
Adrian Monk: Here's what happened. Ms. Garnett met a doctor at the convention. He took her out to dinner. I don't know what they ordered, but it must've been pretty special.
Agent Thorpe: Why do you say that?
Adrian Monk: Because whatever it was, it could've been traced back to that restaurant. That meal, what they ate, that's what this whole case has been about. He must've paid for it with a credit card. Something that we could trace later.
Captain Stottlemeyer: [turns off Keao's device] Just listen.
Adrian Monk: They ended up at Mt. Davidson Park. Something went wrong. We'll never know exactly what happened. All we know is that she got away. She ran across the street to the gas station. But now the killer had a problem. He was a doctor. So he knew there'd be an autopsy and that we'd be able to trace whatever she had for dinner. But he also knew that if he could stall us, distract us, eventually the food in her stomach would be digested. And the evidence would be gone.
Agent Thorpe: 36 hours.
Medical Examiner: Exactly. Everything's gone in a day and a half, even after death.
Adrian Monk: So he distracted us. He picked a victim at random. A street performer. And he killed him in a particularly gruesome way.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Six particularly gruesome ways, actually.
Adrian Monk: He wrote a note, he called us, he taunted us. Anything to keep our attention off of her.
