Episode Summary
 
[x] Remove Ad
A judge called 911before her death, and identifies the man who is about to murder her as rich and obscenely fat financier Dale Biederbeck. But Dale the Whale weighs over 800 pounds and could never have made it to the scene of the crime, despite the 911 call and the testimony of a ten-year-old witness. Biederbeck had sued Monk's wife for libel before and this gives Monk the added incentive to find him guilty.

Episode Quotes
 
Randy: What about liposuction?
Stottlemeyer: What?
Randy: Liposuction. Yeah. He--he lipoed himself down to--I don't know--like four hundred pounds. Down the elevator. Crossed town. Killed the judge.
Stottlemeyer: Well, how did he gain all the weight back?
Randy: (Pause) Reverse liposuction?
Stottlemeyer: Let's keep our reverse-liposuction theory to ourselves. Okay, ?
 
Benjy: (talking about Monk) Can I take him to school? Like, for show-and-tell?
 
Sharona: This is what normal people do on a Sunday morning. They hang out, they relax, they eat brunch. They don't sit at home and get back in their room forty times.
Benjy: Mom, we're not exactly normal.
Sharona: (looks at Monk) We are compared to some people.
 
Monk: Go to hell.
Dale: No doubt I will. I just hope it's handicap-accessible.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
In the game of Clue, the guesser should be the only one that is supposed to look at the answer cards.
 
If Dr. Vezza was conceived during the blackout of (November) 1965, he would turn 36, not 37, in 2002, because of the nine months between conception and birth.
 
Monk shouldn't have gone into the elevator because in the list given by him in the episode "Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man," elevators are one of the items he is afraid of.
