Nephew's Lawyer, Monk and others in “Mr. Monk and the Leper”

Mr. Monk, is this the man you saw? [Shows Monk a photo of a younger Derek Bronson]

Monk

I believe it is.

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

Monk

It’s true.

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.

Your Honor, Adrian Monk is not just anyone. His memory and powers of observation are legendary.

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?

"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.

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.

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.
