Episode Quotes

Monk: (guessing at Charades) The Man Who Came To Dinner.
Gail: How did you know that?
Monk: Six words, The Man Who Came To Dinner, it's about a guest who wouldn't leave, and you were looking at me....

Benjy: Why can't we stay at Monk's?
Sharona: Because I'd go crazy slower at Aunt Gail's.

Gail: (grabbing Randy's ID) Nice picture! Why'd you get rid of the mustache?
Randy: My captain has a mustache. I shaved mine so that people could tell us apart.

Darryl Wright: (referring to Monk) I should write about him!
Sharona: You should. Nobody would believe it. You'd have to put it in the science fiction section.

Stottlemeyer : I'm surprised you can talk with a broken jaw.
Darryl Wright: I don't have a broken jaw.
Stottlemeyer : Not yet. (Punches him.)

Sharona: She and her husband practically saved this church. They're like saints.
Monk: Your saint didn't pay for her candle.

Dr. Kroger: (referring to Monk) He's having a disassociative episode. The trauma of the earthquake probably shorted out the occipital lobe in the left hemisphere of his brain.
