Adrian Monk: Is there a problem?
David Ruskin: Yeah. Yeah, there's a problem. It's my performance. Just today. It was just crap. I don't have it.
Adrian Monk: You don't have what?
David Ruskin: You. I mean, I don't... I don't have you. I mean, I have you. I have your tics and your mannerisms and all that little like... You know, like little tic-tic-tic-tic-tic. But that doesn't mean anything. You know, that's nothing. That's just all, you know- What is that, right? It's not the thing. It's just, like, surface tension. It's like, it's not the thing. It's not the... The heart. The why. I need to know the why. How long have you lived here?
Adrian Monk: [stutters]
David Ruskin: Okay. See, here we go. This is it. See, here's the thing. I want you to take me to Monk school. And this is what I need. I need you to teach me. I mean, you have all these compulsions. And these, you know, these phobias. But it would cripple most people. You- I mean, you keep going. How do you- Sit down, relax. How do you do it? Why don't you stop? Why do you do it? I need to know why do you do it?
Adrian Monk: Uh... My job.
David Ruskin: No, that's not it. That's what I thought too, but that is not it.

David Ruskin: Is this her?
Adrian Monk: Yeah. Yeah, but please don't-
David Ruskin: This is Trudy?
Adrian Monk: Touch.
David Ruskin: She's beautiful. Tell me about her.
Adrian Monk: No.
David Ruskin: Tell me.
Adrian Monk: I never deserved her. The world never deserved her.
David Ruskin: You never deserved her. Nobody deserved her?
Adrian Monk: No, not...
David Ruskin: You never deserved her?
Adrian Monk: No, I really I mean, the world...
David Ruskin: No one deserved her?
Adrian Monk: Not- Um, nah.
David Ruskin: See that? That's what I need to feel. I need to feel. I need to feel what you feel. That's what I need to feel.

Adrian Monk: Don't- You don't wanna do that.
David Ruskin: It's not a question of whether I want to do it. I have to do it. It's my job. All right? Some people don't believe that, but I believe it. Because you have to tell the truth of the story. If you don't tell the truth of the story, then the whole st-
Adrian Monk: Be careful.
David Ruskin: It's a lie. And if you lie- If you lie, then the audience doesn't care. They don't- What's this? Is this the way she was killed?
Adrian Monk: She- She said she was going out to run an errand for Ambrose.
David Ruskin: Who's Ambrose?
Adrian Monk: My brother.
David Ruskin: We have a brother?
Adrian Monk: She pulled into this parking garage on Giraldi Street.
David Ruskin: I know Giraldi Street.
Adrian Monk: I still don't know what she was doing there.
David Ruskin: And the person responsible for this. The man who did this. He's still out there.
Adrian Monk: Oh, yes.
David Ruskin: That must be torture. Is it torture?
Adrian Monk: Yes, it's-
David Ruskin: Is it torture?
Adrian Monk: It's... [sobs]
David Ruskin: See, this is it. This is the key. That's why you do this. You can't find Trudy's killer, so you do the next best thing. You track down and you capture other criminals.
Adrian Monk: It's not enough.
David Ruskin: No, it's not enough.
Adrian Monk: It's not. Not really.
David Ruskin: No, it's not enough. It'll never be enough.

Garage Attendant: Excuse me? Can I help you?
David Ruskin: I wish you could. I'm looking for clues. My wife Trudy was murdered here.

David Ruskin: Why would she back in?
Garage Attendant: Mr. Monk.
David Ruskin: It doesn't make sense.
Garage Attendant: I just talked to Lieutenant Disher. He wanted me to let you know that they just ID'd the guy.
David Ruskin: Who? The man who killed Trudy?
Garage Attendant: I don't know, all he said is his name is Jack Leveret. He owns Leveret Motors on Hamilton. And they're all heading over there now.
David Ruskin: Finally. After all these years. Where's Hamilton Street?
Garage Attendant: Three blocks east. You can't miss it.
David Ruskin: Okay. Thanks!

Captain Stottlemeyer: Sergeant, what the hell is going on?
Sergeant Lyman: Captain, stay down!
Captain Stottlemeyer: We got a suspect in there.
Sergeant Lyman: Change of plans. We have a hostage situation. A man walked into the showroom five minutes ago, waving a gun and looking for the owner. He kept saying, "You killed my wife. You killed Trudy."
Lieutenant Disher: Trudy?
Captain Stottlemeyer: It's Monk! It's Monk in there! Put your weapons down! Everybody relax! Stand down! Put it down! What the hell is he doing? [Monk and Natalie pull up]
Adrian Monk: Captain? What's it about?
Lieutenant Disher: That's a little confusing.

David Ruskin: Do you know why she backed into the parking space? Do you know why? I'll tell you why. Because she was there to meet you. But she didn't trust you.
Jack Leverett: Mister, listen to me. Listen to me! I swear to God I don't know anybody named Trudy!
David Ruskin: Liar! No! Shut up!
Adrian Monk: David. David, David.
Jack Leverett: Oh, my God. There's another one? What are you guys from, some cult? Help, somebody!
David Ruskin: Shut up!

Adrian Monk: David, David, come on. Adrian. Adrian, listen. Oh, my God. That's my weapon. You found my lockbox. You guessed the combination.
David Ruskin: I know my combination. It's Trudy's birthday. And now I'm going to give her the perfect birthday gift.
Jack Leverett: No, no, no, no, no.
Adrian Monk: Adrian, look, look, look.
David Ruskin: What?
Adrian Monk: Look. Look. That tag, that sticker is peeling off. Why don't you fix that?

Adrian Monk: Adrian, he didn't kill Trudy! He didn't kill Trudy. He killed a woman named Michelle.
David Ruskin: Who?
Adrian Monk: A woman named Michelle Cullman and a pawnbroker named Orlov.
Jack Leverett: Yes, that's true. I killed a woman, and I killed an old man. I've never even met Trudy. Who the hell is Trudy?
David Ruskin: She was my life! She was my life!
Adrian Monk: Adrian! Okay, listen to me. Trudy wouldn't want you to do this, would she? She wouldn't want you to do this.
David Ruskin: No.
Adrian Monk: Not Trudy.
David Ruskin: No, she wouldn't want me... I know, I know.

Adrian Monk: It's all right. It's over now.
David Ruskin: Sorry, I just-- I was just- That day, she wanted me to go with her.
Adrian Monk: What?
David Ruskin: She wanted me to go with her that day. And I...
Adrian Monk: No. No, no, no, no, no.
David Ruskin: Yeah, she did. It's my fault. It's my fault.
Adrian Monk: That's right.
David Ruskin: I said I was tired.
Adrian Monk: That's right, she- That's true. I'm sorry. I could have saved her.
