  Adrian Monk : [surveying a crime scene]  The stove.

  Lt. Gitomer : Over here. It's in the kitchen.

  Adrian Monk : No... I mean *my* stove. I-I think I left it on.

  Sharona Fleming : It's okay. I, uh, checked it as we were leaving.

  Adrian Monk : Are you sure? Did you turn the knob?

  Sharona Fleming : Yeah.

  Adrian Monk : The little knob, though?

  Sharona Fleming : I turned all the knobs. The stove is off, Adrian.

  Lt. Gitomer : We believe it was a burglary gone sour. She walked in, she surprised him, he panicked, he left there from the kitchen.

  Adrian Monk : No. No. No, no. No. No. This-This was no burglary.

  Lt. Gitomer : It wasn't?

  Adrian Monk : He tried to make it look like one, but this guy was cold as ice. He wore her slippers to avoid leaving shoe prints - not something your neighborhood crackhead is prone to do.

  [Adrian notices a desk lamp and, distracted, begins to compulsively tap it] 

  Sharona Fleming : Adrian. Adrian.

  [she claps her hands, getting Adrian's attention] 

  Adrian Monk : He was in here. He was waiting.

  Lt. Gitomer : Waiting for what?

  Adrian Monk : You know, for her. He was here at least an hour. He was smoking. You can still smell it on the curtains.

  [sniffs the curtains] 

  Adrian Monk : Menthols. Salems. Possibly Newports.

  Lt. Gitomer : Maybe she was the smoker.

  Adrian Monk : No. No, she was a Dutch Calvinist. They don't smoke. They consider their bodies to be a holy - a holy chalice of -

  [turns to Sharona] 

  Adrian Monk : Sorry, I'm having trouble concentrating, because I think I smell gas. Did you hear the click? You gotta hear the click, not just feel the click. Hear it.

  [Sharona glares at him; to the other detectives] 

  Adrian Monk : Anyway, uh, after he killed Miss, uh...

  Lt. Gitomer : Nicole Vasques, 25.

  Adrian Monk : Yeah, Miss Vasques, he - he hung around. He was, uh, looking for something.

  Lt. Gitomer : He was looking for what?

  Adrian Monk : I don't know. He checked something on her computer. He could've erased a file.

  Lt. Gitomer : Anything else?

  Adrian Monk : Yes, he's tall. He's 6'3", maybe 6'4".

• First Cop : [after Monk has left a crime scene, convinced he can smell his gas stove on]  So that's the famous Adrian Monk?

  Second Cop : Yeah, the living legend.

  Lt. Gitomer : If you call that living.
