Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: Do you have the article that Trudy and Janice wrote?
Natalie: Yeah.
Adrian Monk: That's him! That's Jack Bollinger.
Natalie: The union boss.
Adrian Monk: He was their anonymous source ten years ago. Now that they're both gone, he must be panicked that all of their research material will be made public. And his old friends will know that he ratted them out.
Natalie: What about the woman?
Adrian Monk: Bollinger must've just found her. It was a con game to trick Janice's father into giving up that key.
Natalie: I don't- How did she know so much about Trudy?
Adrian Monk: Bollinger must've coached her. He spent time with Trudy when they were writing this, so he knew a lot about her.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Jack Bollinger: I found some notebooks and some tapes. But they're not all labeled. And I can't afford to miss anything. So we are going to plan B.

Jack Bollinger: Start the damn car!
Adrian Monk: Trudy-
Jack Bollinger: What the hell is he doing here?
Adrian Monk: I'm her husband.
Jack Bollinger: Son of a bitch, it never ends. How, how did he find us? Who else knows we're here? [Monk strokes "Trudy"'s hair] Hey, I'm talking to you. Your hair... Your hair was more like, like...
Cameron: Look, I I didn't know, okay? I thought this was just a job.
