Adrian Monk Quote #2495
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Takes the Stand
Captain Stottlemeyer: The truth will come out, Powell. Somehow it always does. Your client killed that woman.
Evan Gildea: When are you people gonna stop hassling me? I mean, you've got the real killer right in front of you. That dope-smoking, chain-snatching, little thug right over there. He killed her. Everybody knows it.
Adrian Monk: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Excuse me. Wait a minute. Hey, did you hear what he just said?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yes, I did. I wonder why you're asking.
Adrian Monk: Did you hear what he just said?
Evan Gildea: I didn't say anything.
Adrian Monk: You just called that young man, "a chain-snatching, dope-smoking little thug."
Evan Gildea: I was being kind.
Adrian Monk: How did you know about the chain-snatching?
Harrison Powell: He read it.
Natalie: No, it wasn't in the papers. It wasn't even in the police report.
Adrian Monk: No, no, no, no. There is only one possible way he knew Rudy took that necklace. You saw it happen.
Captain Stottlemeyer: It's called guilty knowledge. And juries eat it up. Mr. Gildea, you're under arrest. Randy, would you like to do the honors?
Lieutenant Disher: My pleasure.

Quote from Adrian Monk
