Episode Quotes
Anne Marie: Are you my uncle?
Adrian: No. No.
Anne Marie: Didn't think so.
Adrian: No, I'm your Aunt Natalie's boss.
Anne Marie: Do you know her other boss, the crazy one?
Adrian: Yes. Yes, I-I-I-I think I have met him once or twice.

(examining a woman's painting)
Natalie: Could be a lover?
Adrian: How do you figure?
Natalie: Well, he's naked, and, uh... lower right corner?
Adrian: Oh. Oh! Oh, I thought that was the signature.

(arriving at his apartment)
Adrian: Well, this is it. Don't get too comfortable. I never do.

Stottlemeyer: Thank you all once again for coming. You know the situation. We're looking for a woman. Her name is Amanda Castle.
Disher: Although any dead body would be of interest to us.
Stottlemeyer: Thank you, Randy.

Adrian: This dog is really, really smart. I've been teaching her tricks.
Disher: Like?
Adrian: Oh, like not to lick me, not to drool, not to roll over, not to, you know, discharge anything.

Anne Marie: You said five dollars.
Adrian: Right. Do you have change for a hundred?
Anne Marie: Yeah.
Adrian: Really?
Anne Marie: Um-hum.
Adrian: Then you won't need my five.

Disher: Now he's afraid that she'll identify him.
Adrian: How?
Disher: She could bark at him.
Stottlemeyer: Randy, as far as I know, in the state of California, dogs are not allowed to testify in open court.
Disher: Maybe DeWitt's afraid they'll change the rule.
Stottlemeyer: Change the rule against dogs testifying in court?
Disher: I don't know, one of those referendums. It is California.
Stottlemeyer: You want to know how tired I am? I'm so tired I don't even know if that makes sense.

Natalie: It's a natural thing, Mr. Monk. Your mother did it, twice.
Adrian: You're not helping at all. She didn't do it in someone else's living room.
Natalie: Shh.
Adrian: She didn't go surprising people. Why didn't you tell me she was pregnant.
Natalie: I didn't know. Nobody knew.
Adrian: Come on, you're a woman. How could you not know? It's a disaster. Little animals coming out of other animals. What was God thinking?
