Monk, Season 5

[During the probate hearing]

Nephew's Lawyer:
Mr. Monk, is this the man you saw? [shows Monk a photo of a younger Derek Bronson]

Monk:
I believe it is.

Nephew's Lawyer:
According to your testimony, you only saw him in a dimly lit bar and a parking garage. Hardly ideal conditions.

Monk:
It's true.

Judge Lawrence Barr:
Well, Mr. Bronson's nephews have been waiting a long time for this estate to be probated. I am reluctant to make a decision based on one man's testimony.

Mandy's Lawyer:
Your Honor, Adrian Monk is not just anyone. His memory and powers of observation are legendary.

Judge Lawrence Barr:
Well, there's a lot at stake here. You say he has a great memory. Mr. Monk? Would you mind standing up and turning around? [Monk stands up and turns around] Could you describe my shirt?

Monk:
Which one?

Judge Lawrence Barr:
"Which one?"

Monk:
The shirt you're wearing, or the shirt that your stenographer is wearing? That's your shirt, too, isn't it? You cut yourself shaving - there's a little drop of blood on her collar.

Judge Lawrence Barr:
What are you implying?

Monk:
You were having a sex affair with her on that couch. The cushions are backwards and one of her earrings fell off. So, it's right here. Under here. [He walks over to the couch, and picks up the earring in question with his tweezers] She must have torn her blouse. I can see it sticking out of her briefcase.

Judge Lawrence Barr:
I'm ready with my decision. I will accept Mr. Monk's word that he met with Derek Bronson. Therefore, Mrs. Bronson will retain control of the entire estate.
