Adrian Monk: Back up. Back up! Over there. There. Open the bottle. Open it. Open it! [Hal reveals a figurine stashed in the bottle] Stolen. Of course. You have a record. You knew you'd be searched at the airport. That's why you seduced Gail Segalis, to get that through customs. And then you seduced me.
Hal Tucker: Come on, Age. I was just joking. You know, I was punking ya.
Adrian Monk: Punk- Punk- Punking?
Hal Tucker: I was joking. That gun's not loaded. I mean, I was just goofin' around. It's... It's what best friends do.
Adrian Monk: Best friends?
Hal Tucker: Yeah.
Adrian Monk: I don't believe you.
Hal Tucker: Oh, come on. It's me. Hal. It's your old pal Hal. You know me. I wouldn't hurt anybody. Come on. Let's go over to your place. Let's order a pizza. Have it sliced ten ways. Maybe polish some rocks.
Adrian Monk: Okay. Okay.
Hal Tucker: But I'm gonna need that gun! Hands up, you freak.
Adrian Monk: So it really is loaded?
Hal Tucker: Yes.
