Ambrose Monk : Yes, he was parked by the southern entrance.
Sharona Fleming : How do you know that?
Ambrose Monk : It's obvious. Why don't you tell her, Adrian?
Adrian Monk : Um...
Ambrose Monk : The yellow acorns on his truck, which can only mean he was parked under a spotted oak tree...
Sharona Fleming : Wow.
Ambrose Monk : Which are found...
Adrian Monk : Um...
Ambrose Monk : Near water...
Sharona Fleming : Wow.
Ambrose Monk : Which means, he parked by the river, at the southern entrance.
Sharona Fleming : Wow!
Adrian Monk : Please stop staying "wow."

Sharona Fleming : For making my family seem normal.
-
Sharona Fleming : Well, at least you two are talking.
Adrian Monk : Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it, because that is it! I am never setting foot in that house again, okay? I have my own problems!
Sharona Fleming : Really? I never noticed.
Adrian Monk : Okay, now you're being sardonic.

Sharona Fleming : Ambrose... come with us!
Ambrose Monk : Me? No, no, no.

Ambrose Monk : That's my plan... yes.

Adrian Monk : So, Ambrose, what am I...? Why am I here?
Ambrose Monk : Believe it or not, I need your help. It's about my next door neighbor. His name is Pat van Ranken.
Sharona Fleming : What about him?
Ambrose Monk : I'm eighty-five to ninety percent sure that he killed his wife.

[Monk and Sharona spy on van Ranken, rooting through the cherry pie]
Adrian Monk : He's looking for something. Sharona, that's why he tripped! He didn't want to win the race, he was trying to come in second, he wanted the pie!
Sharona Fleming : Why?
Adrian Monk : Well, obviously, he...
[he trails off, and looks around the corner at van Ranken again]
Adrian Monk : You see, Sharona, what happened was...
[he trails off again, and takes another look around the corner]
Adrian Monk : I have no idea.
-
Sharona Fleming : How did you remember that?
Ambrose Monk : It's a gift, and a curse.
-
Ambrose Monk : [about Adrian] You should have seen him. Going into stores and buying things all by himself when he was 15. Driving a car when he was 23. Going out on dates - going out on dates with women, at twenty-six years of age!
Sharona Fleming : He's a regular Evel Knievel.

Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Okay. That makes sense. Not to me, but...
[Adrian interrupts]

Sharona Fleming : Ambrose, you know what? Adrian's scared, too. All the time. But he doesn't let it stop him. Okay, now you tell me: what does he have that you don't have?
Ambrose Monk : He has you.

Sharona Fleming : [answers phone] Hello? No, I'm his assistant, Sharona Fleming. Who's this? Hold on.
[to Monk]
Sharona Fleming : Adrian? You have a brother?
[pause; everyone looks up, surprised]
Adrian Monk : No.
Sharona Fleming : [into phone] I'm sorry, sir. You must have the wrong Adrian Monk.
[She hangs up. Immediately, the phone starts ringing again]
Adrian Monk : Wait, wait, don't answer it! I... I might have a brother.
Sharona Fleming : You told me you were an only child.
Adrian Monk : I consider myself an only child. Look, we're not close. He has issues.
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!
