Adrian Monk Quote #1868
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Joins a Cult
Adrian Monk: You were with her that night. You drove through that intersection. You saw a camera flash. You knew your picture had just been taken. A picture of you and her. As you said, it's a company car, which meant they'd be sending the ticket here to the office, which meant your wife would see it, and she would not be happy.
Susan Donovan: You got that right.
Adrian Monk: Somehow, you were gonna have to explain this photograph. Amanda must have told you about her past, about her life in the cult. You realized you could kill her and blame it on the whacked-out cult leader. He was the perfect fall guy. Everybody knew Amanda was afraid of him.
Tom Donovan: That's it? That's just a story. Where is your proof? This isn't proof. It's not even a good picture. It's all dark, it's all grainy. You can't see anything.
Adrian Monk: You can see the seatbelt. She was wearing a seatbelt.
Tom Donovan: So what? She was dying. I put her in my car, I buckled her seatbelt.
Adrian Monk: You're saying this photograph was taken on the way to the hospital after she was attacked?
Tom Donovan: That's right.
Adrian Monk: This woman was stabbed ten times. She was bleeding all over the seat.
Tom Donovan: That's right.
Adrian Monk: So this seatbelt, the seatbelt she was wearing in this photograph, should be covered in blood, am I right?
Lieutenant Disher: That's gonna be hard to explain.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I'd say impossible.
Lieutenant Disher: Mr. Donovan, you're under arrest. Come with me, please, sir.

Susan Donovan: Could I have that back, please?
Adrian Monk: I'm afraid not. This picture is material evidence in a homicide. In fact, I think this is the key to the whole case. This is the motive. This is why you killed her. Here's what I think happened. Amanda Clark was a sex prostitute.
Susan Donovan: A what?
Adrian Monk: A sex prostitute.
Susan Donovan: As opposed to what?
