Quotes 

• [Stottlemeyer enters his office to find Monk and Sharona waiting] 

  Capt. Stottlemeyer : Oh, excuse me. I must have the wrong office. Yeah, see, I'm confused because my name is on the door.

  Adrian Monk : Don't blame Sharona, Captain.

  Capt. Stottlemeyer : I have no intention of blaming Sharona.

  [sees his desk] 

  Capt. Stottlemeyer : What happened here?

  Adrian Monk : I took the liberty of straightening up a bit.

  Capt. Stottlemeyer : Where is all my crap?

  Adrian Monk : In your drawers. And obviously I had to throw some stuff away.

• Adrian Monk : You've gotta be a little skeptical, Sharona. Otherwise you end up believing in everything - UFOs, elves, income tax rebates.

• Adrian Monk : [freaking out over a handshake]  Did you see that? It was a two-hander!

• Capt. Stottlemeyer : Look, I knew you were crazy. I didn't know you were suicidal. Did you accuse Harry Ashcombe of murder to his face?

  Adrian Monk : Not in so many words.

• Sharona Fleming : [at the Ashcombes' house]  This... is a nice place. Obviously who ever lives here doesn't work for you.

  Adrian Monk : The late Mrs. Ashcombe was richer than Canada.

• Adrian Monk : [about Ashcombe's wife]  You don't believe it was an accident?

  Jennifer Zepetelli : All I know is, Harry Ashcombe is a very dangerous man. I hope you know what you're doing.

  [cut to later, in Monk's apartment] 

  Sharona Fleming : Do you know what you're doing?

  Adrian Monk : Relax, I have been handling refrigerators since I was fifteen.

  Sharona Fleming : I mean about the case. The former Commissioner isn't just another suspect, Adrian. He is connected. He is the man, and you'd better be sure about this.

  Adrian Monk : I'm as sure as I can be... without, any, you know, proof.

  [Sharona face-palms] 

• Capt. Stottlemeyer : Look, I knew you were crazy. I didn't know you were suicidal. Did you accuse Harry Ashcombe of murder to his face?

  Adrian Monk : Not in so many words.

  Capt. Stottlemeyer : [laughing derisively]  Well, there goes your career!

  Adrian Monk : *What* career?

  Capt. Stottlemeyer : Exactly! You wonder why you're not wearing a badge?

• Adrian Monk : Here's what happened... Ashcombe did his wife, but he had a problem. There was a mudslide that night, the car was buried. He couldn't collect a dime until they found her! What could he do? He couldn't just say, "Maybe we should dig over there!" Somebody else had to find her!

  Capt. Stottlemeyer : [referring to the psychic who found the body]  So he paid Dolly Flint?

  Adrian Monk : Too dangerous. She'd never keep her mouth shut. Ashcombe... "arranged" for her to find the body.

  Capt. Stottlemeyer : Right, but how did he do that?

  Adrian Monk : I think I know.

  Capt. Stottlemeyer : Can you prove it?

  Adrian Monk : Only if you help me.

• Adrian Monk : [attempting to get Captain Stottlemeyer to investigate the former police commisioner for murdering his wife]  Leland, I'm talking to the best cop I know, you got to get on board here!

• Sharona Fleming : He is the man and you better be sure about this.

  Adrian Monk : I'm as sure as I can be without any... you know... proof.
