Adrian Monk Quote #2480
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Takes the Stand
[flashback:]
Adrian Monk: The clock.
Evan Gildea: Excuse me?
Adrian Monk: The clock in your studio was 20 minutes slow. And that popsicle is half-melted. Your freezer must have been off for a while. You blew a fuse.
Evan Gildea: A fuse? Wait, you're right. I remember. I was plugging in my coffee maker.
Adrian Monk: No, no, no. It wasn't a coffee maker. You were using something much bigger. There's a heavy duty extension cord in there. It is the only thing in your studio not covered with dust. You were using some, some kind of tool. A jackhammer. You killed her, you drove back here this morning you chopped up all of the marble with the jackhammer before Sgt. Carney arrived. It wouldn't have taken you more than an hour.
Evan Gildea: I chopped it all up?
Captain Stottlemeyer: You're in the middle of nowhere. Nobody would have heard you.
Evan Gildea: And then what? Where did I put it? Two tons of marble. Oh, oh, maybe I ate it.
Adrian Monk: No. No, you didn't eat it. We're standing on it.

Quote from Adrian Monk
Adrian Monk: There's a camera?
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, but the recorder's empty. Which means the killer must have taken the tape.
Adrian Monk: But your friend Rudy is short. He's, what, 5'4"?
Lieutenant Disher: 5'4 1/4".
Adrian Monk: Well, he couldn't reach that shelf. There's no stepping stool. "He didn't need a stepping stool, former detective Monk. There are hundreds of things here he could have stood on." "Why are you crying, former detective Monk? "Why don't you stop wasting everyone's time and get the hell out of here?"
Natalie: Objection! Badgering yourself.
Adrian Monk: Overruled.
Quote from Lieutenant Disher
[flashback:]
Lieutenant Disher: Looks like a straight-up break-in. Punches a hole through this window. Opens the door from the inside. She wakes up. They fight. He takes that statue from here hits her once. So, base of the skull. Medulla oblongata. Killed her instantly.
Adrian Monk: Nah, I don't think so. That hole's pretty small. I don't think anyone could fit their hand through there.
Lieutenant Disher: Sure they could.
