Monk Quote

[Experimenting with one of Torini's knives, Monk checks to see if it's a real knife or not by using it on Natalie. She immediately yelps as soon as the blade contacts her]
Natalie Teeger: OW!
Adrian Monk: OK, this one might be real. Don't play with this one.
Natalie Teeger: All right, I won't.
[Monk notices something nearby]
Adrian Monk: What is that? [He walks over to the cabinet to examine it, and suddenly Torini's voice comes booming over the loudspeaker]
Karl Torini: [over the speakers] It's called a Zig Zag Cabinet. I designed it myself. [Monk starts to examine the Zig Zag Cabinet more closely] Please step away from the cabinet, Mr. Monk. Secrets of the trade, you know.
[Monk and Natalie spot a machine producing fog in the other room. After a few seconds, the camera angle switches to show that Torini has magically popped into existence behind them. He clears his throat, and they both turn around]
Natalie Teeger: How did you do that?
Karl Torini: Misdirection, Ms. Teeger. The secret to every illusion - making the audience look where they shouldn't be looking. [faces them] For example. [conjures a coin out of thin air]

TV Show: Monk
