When a Stranger Calls quotes

[thinking it's Curt again]

Leave me alone!

Sgt. Sacker

Jill, this is Sergeant Sacker. Listen to me. We've traced the call... it's coming from inside the house. Now a squad car's coming over there right now, just get out of that house!

Lets get something straight here, Doctor. I've been 33 years in the business of tracking people down and putting them away... spent almost a year alone on the case of Curt Duncan with the trial and the testimonies and the background investigations. Now, I didn't come here today to look in your God damn folders, in fact I probably wouldn't be here at all if you had done your job right.

Dr. Monk

This is a hospital, Mr. Clifford, not a penitentiary. Everything appertaining to one of our patients is meticulously recorded in that patient's folder, whether you can make sense of it or not.

Sgt. Sacker
[On the phone]

Is the house locked up?

[Panicking]

Yes!

Sgt. Sacker

Well, then you're safe. If he wanted to break in, he wouldn't keep calling you.

Please, can't you help me? I'm all alone here!

[on the phone, after Curt calls her at the restaurant]

Sharon? Please, do me a favor. Just tell me truthfully, when was the last time you CHECKED MY CHILDREN?

[to Tracy, about Curt's murders]

After the coroner's investigation the bodies were taken to the mortuary where the undertaker took one look at them and said their bodies couldn't be reconstructed for the burial without six days of steady work. Then he asked what had been the murder weapon, because looking at the mess in front of him he couldn't imagine what had been used. The coroner told him there had been no murder weapon. The killer had used only his hands.
