Natalie: Mr. Monk, there's a case, a very important case. Nobody else can handle it.
Adrian Monk: I know what you're trying to do, Natalie, but it won't work. My mind's made up.
Lieutenant Disher: She's not asking Monk. I am. It's Rudy, my little buddy. You remember the kid from the courthouse? The D.A just announced that they want to try him as an adult. The kid's looking at 25 years.
Adrian Monk: It's very important to you, isn't it? Then you don't want me anywhere near it. You know what happened. That last case came crashing down around me.
Natalie: Mr. Monk, we want to show you the crime scene. Come with us. It'll take 20 minutes. Maybe you'll see something. You can't say no. Well, you can, but you can't.
Adrian Monk: I can, but I can't? I don't understand.
Natalie: You don't, but you do.
