Adrian Monk: I understand that you almost beat Patrick Kloster.
Eric Tavela: I'll get him next time.
Adrian Monk: What kind of player is he, would you say?
Eric Tavela: Kloster's a behaviorist. He studies you, not the game. He crawls inside your head, and it's kinda spooky.
Natalie: Yeah, what is a poisoned pawn?
Eric Tavela: Well, the poisoned pawn is a trap. He dangles a pawn in the middle of the board. And, you know, most people can't resist it. And then he swoops in and crushes you. [defeats Julie]
Adrian Monk: They can't resist it.
Eric Tavela: That's checkmate. Thank you, Vassar. That was fun.
Adrian Monk: A trap. A trap she couldn't resist.
Natalie: What? What? What? What? I know that look. You did it, didn't you? you figured it out. Who's the real genius now, huh? Who just outsmarted the smartest guy in the whole world? Tell me "you."
Adrian Monk: I did.
