Mr. Monk and the Genius (2008)

Dona Hardy: 1st Elderly Woman

Quotes 

• Adrian Monk : [Elderly woman touches a coffin]  Ah, I'm afraid you can't touch that. I'm sorry.

  1st Elderly Woman : She was our niece.

  Adrian Monk : Well, I'm a former police officer, and I'm afraid we have to borrow your niece, her remains, for a couple of days.

  2nd Elderly Woman : Borrow her?

  1st Elderly Woman : Yes, we have to run some toxicology tests on the body.

  1st Elderly Woman : Oh, my goodness.

  Adrian Monk : No, no no. We do it all the time.

  [takes flowers off the top of the coffin] 

  Adrian Monk : We're going to cut her open, just... just a little bit, and slice off a teeny tiny... tiny piece of her liver, and her stomach, and maybe take a tiny, nearly imperceptible bit of fluid from her eyeball. Like on TV. Who likes TV?

  1st Elderly Woman : But why?

  Adrian Monk : The fact is, we think she might have been poisoned.

  2nd Elderly Woman : But how did the poison get in the cable car?

  Adrian Monk : What cable car?

  1st Elderly Woman : The cable car that hit her. That's how Marjorie was killed!

  Patrick Kloster : Mr. Monk, that's not my wife.

  [Monk and Natalie put the flowers back on the coffin] 

  Patrick Kloster : My wife is right here.

  [Kloster shows them a cremation box] 

  Patrick Kloster : I had her cremated two hours ago. As you can see, I have anticipated your every move.

  Adrian Monk : Cremated?

  Patrick Kloster : Yes I don't think your toxicology tests are going to do much good but you are welcome to try.

  [Both Monk and Natalie give him a rather disgusted look] 

  Patrick Kloster : Oh I know that look. I've seen it quite often. It's how my opponents look when they know they've been beaten. Your move, Mr. Monk.

  [walks out of the room]
