Lt. Randall Disher: Captain! [hands a file to Stottlemeyer] Washington just sent this down. It's a prelim psych profile. [Stottlemeyer holds the file to his forehead]
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: Let me guess: the killer is between 30 and 45 years old, white male, does not work in an office, probably spent time in the military, and definitely hates his mother. [hands the file back to Disher]
Lt. Randall Disher: How did you know that?
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: 'Cause that's what they always say, Lieutenant. That's scrap paper.

Lt. Randall Disher: Okay. I'll just wait here and--
Sharona Fleming: Weep openly.
Lt. Randall Disher: --do some paperwork.
Sharona Fleming: While you weep openly.

Monk: [repeating Derek Philby's words back to him] Q.E.D. Quod erat demonstratum. "Thus it is proven."

Monk: Don't say that.
Stottlemeyer: Look, I don't mind living in your shadow, Monk; you're a freak of nature.
Monk: Thank you.

Mrs. Ling: You come back anytime, Mr. Babcock. You good customer, 'cause you don't complain.

Mrs. Ling: Yeah, well... he still good customer. Not crazy like that Mr. Monk over there.

Scott Gregorio: They say that when you lose an arm, you can still feel it. That's what it feels like. I miss her so much. How do you... how do you go on? How do you keep working?

Sharona Fleming: [about Kenny Shale] You called him a weasel.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: No, I didn't.
Sharona Fleming: Yeah, you did. Three weeks ago.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: I never said "weasel." I said he was a... "woof." Oh, yeah, I said "weasel." I called him a weasel, but you see, that's not a bad thing. I had a weasel. A weasel is a noble animal, all right? It's a term of endearment. [to a passing cop] Jerry, hey, how are you doing, you weasel? Good to see you! [turns back to Sharona] See, I call everybody a weasel.

[She hangs up. Immediately, the phone starts ringing again.]
Adrian Monk: Wait, wait... I might have a brother.

Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: [raised eyebrow] Your brother has issues?
Adrian Monk: Don't you people have work to do?! There's a dead woman over there!

Lt. Randall Disher: Yes, I have. I couldn't think of any other way to get all this Scotch into my body.

Sharona Fleming: Is that a new tie?
Lt. Randall Disher: It's a gift from my girlfriend.
Sharona Fleming: She has very good taste. In ties, not in men.
Lt. Randall Disher: Ooh -- do I detect a hint of jealousy?
Sharona Fleming: If you do, it's the only detecting you've ever done.

Sharona Fleming: So, how'd the dating go?
