Sharona: What? What?
Adrian Monk: I've got it.
Sharona: You got what? You know who did it? You know who tried to kill St. Claire? Monk, who did it? You're not gonna tell me who did it?
Adrian Monk: It doesn't matter. They're not gonna listen to me. You heard the captain. I'm a leper.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Adrian Monk: Okay I need everybody to stand exactly where they were after the shots were fired. Mrs. St. Claire, you were standing right here.
Miranda St. Claire: What is the point? We know who tried to kill my husband. It was that lunatic, what's his name?
Gavin Lloyd: Ian Sykes. He's probably halfway to Mexico by now.
Adrian Monk: That's true. Mr. Goodman, if you would. That's true, lan Sykes got away.
Lieutenant Disher: Yes, he did.
Adrian Monk: And I feel terrible about that, but today we're looking for his accomplice, the person who hired Ian Sykes.
Warren St. Claire: Are you a poker player, Mr. Monk? Because you're either bluffing your ass off, or sitting on a very sweet hand.

Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer

Adrian Monk: Maybe you even accused her of stealing the money.
Gavin Lloyd: Can you believe this guy? You are out of your mind, out of your mind.
Adrian Monk: You started to worry the girl might talk. You couldn't buy her off. She had a little something we call integrity. So you decided it was time to hire somebody to kill her, but who? You asked Jason Rondstadt, but he turned you down. You were in hell, surrounded by honest people.
Gavin Lloyd: I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yes, you do. Yes, you do.

Quote from Adrian Monk

Sharona: [over radio] I'm gonna follow him.
Adrian Monk: Where are you going, Sharona? Just stay put.
Sharona: He's stashing his gun. He's going downstairs.
Adrian Monk: All right, just stay put. Stay right where you are.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Who does she think she is?
Adrian Monk: I don't know. Lois Lane.
