Quotes 

• Adrian Monk : Boy, this is nice, isn't it?

  Sharona Fleming : I forgot. What were we talking about?

  Carl : England.

  Sharona Fleming : Oh, my God, that's right. Um, Carl said that, uh, he was talking about living in England. He was a Rhodes Scholar.

  Adrian Monk : No kidding!

  Sharona Fleming : Yeah. He graduated magna cum laude.

  Adrian Monk : Cum laud.

  Sharona Fleming : Right. I know. And now he has a private practice. He's an entertainment lawyer. Guess who he represents. Can I tell him?

  Carl : Yeah, sure.

  Sharona Fleming : Francis Ford Coppola.

  Adrian Monk : Oh.

  Sharona Fleming : Yeah, but it's no big deal. A tabloid wrote something about him - that, you know, he was drunk at the Oscars, so now we're suing them for slander.

  Adrian Monk : Uh-huh. I - I don't know what to do here. Uh, I'm - I'm no good at this. Okay. This man is lying to you. He's not a lawyer.

  Sharona Fleming : What?

  Adrian Monk : Oxford doesn't have a magna cum laud, and you sue a newspaper for libel, not slander.

  [Carl gives him a look of disgust] 

  Adrian Monk : I'll just shut up. Forget I said anything. It's no big deal, Carl.
