Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk vs. the Cobra
Adrian Monk: We would like to ask you some questions about Sonny Chow. Natalie: You were his teacher? Master Zi: That is true. But I also learned from him. Adrian Monk: A man was murdered two nights ago, and there is evidence that Sonny Chow was responsible. Master Zi: Cobra is dead, Mr. Monk. Adrian Monk: Are you sure about that? Master Zi: He died in my arms six years ago. I felt his spirit leaving his body. Adrian Monk: If he were still alive and you were hiding him, that would be a very serious crime. Master Zi: It would be worse than a crime. It would be a lie. A man who speaks only the truth has nothing to fear. Don't you agree? Adrian Monk: Yes, I do. Master Zi: I'm sorry. I disappointed you. But I am feeling something else. [places hand on Monk's chest] Oh, my. A troubled soul. You are on a quest, Mr. Monk. Adrian Monk: That's right. Master Zi: You live in a very dark place. The darkness is your fear. Take this as a gift. [gives Monk a candle and a match] Light is your weapon, Mr. Monk. Be the light. Adrian Monk: Thank you. Thank you.
