Lieutenant Disher: It looks like an accident. Her name's Katherine Rutherford, lives here on the third floor. Patrol officers called us in just to make sure.
Captain Stottlemeyer: What are those?
Lieutenant Disher: Beads. She was wearing a necklace, which broke. She slips on the beads, breaks her neck.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Lot of gravity in these stairwells.
Lieutenant Disher: Yes, sir.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I just used the elevator. Why didn't she? Was it broken?
Lieutenant Disher: Uh...
Captain Stottlemeyer: If you don't know, just say so.
Lieutenant Disher: I don't know.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Hey are there any beads down there?
Uniform Cop: No, sir.
Captain Stottlemeyer: If she slipped on the beads, why didn't any of 'em roll away?
Lieutenant Disher: Beads, beads, beads, beads...
Captain Stottlemeyer: You don't know. Randy something's wrong here. [picks up necklace string] This is wrong. Lift up her head. It doesn't fit. It's too small. Okay, we're changing gears. Lock down this stairwell from the basement to the roof. Call the watch commander. This is now a homicide investigation.

Dianne Brooks: Well, you know, I don't think I've seen you since, well, since the memorial service, I guess, right? How are you doing? Are you-- Are you dating?
Adrian Monk: No. N- No. No, no, no. No. No. N- N- No.
Dianne Brooks: Well, maybe you'll meet someone here.
Adrian Monk: No, I don't think-- Nah, no.
Dianne Brooks: Well, you never know.
Adrian Monk: Yeah- Yeah, you do.

Captain Stottlemeyer: There you are.
Natalie: Captain, what are you doing here?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Looking for you. I was about to give up, then I heard some clowns downstairs talking about a guy up here defrosting a refrigerator. Who's Captain Cool?
Man #1: Captain Cool lives.
Man #2: The return of Captain Cool. The Iceman Cometh back.
Adrian Monk: Might be me.

[flashback:]
Younger Trudy: Excuse me. Hello. I can't find a book. This is not the Dewey Decimal System that I know and love. Do you work here?
Younger Adrian: Yes, I- Yes, I do. Uh, here's the thing. We're reorganizing. And we're- We're moving all the stacks upstairs. What are you looking for?
Younger Trudy: This is a long shot. Trevor Rosenthal's biography of Alexander Pope. Volume two.
[Monk walks over to an unorganized pile of books and returns with the biography]
Younger Trudy: How did you do that?
Younger Adrian: I saw it last week.
Younger Trudy: And you remembered?
Younger Adrian: If I see something once, I never forget it.
Younger Trudy: That sounds pretty awful. My bad memory is my salvation.
Younger Adrian: "Thus let me live, unseen, unknown. Thus unlamented, let me die..."
Younger Trudy: "Steal from the world and not a stone tell where I lie." You know Alexander Pope. So you never forget anything? For example, you're never gonna forget this? Me, us talking right now?

Adrian Monk: And that's how I got her number.
Natalie: Wait, you mean when he wrote it on your back, you could feel it? You could do that?
Adrian Monk: I have very sensitive skin.
Natalie: That's like a superpower. Like a really weird, not very useful superpower.
Adrian Monk: It took me three weeks to call her. It was the bravest thing I ever did. She was already dating that other guy, Drew.
Natalie: Yeah, but she chose you. Never forget that. She chose you.
Adrian Monk: Yeah, but I don't know why. I mean, he was just written up in Time magazine last year. He's a famous heart surgeon. He's rich, he's happy. What was she thinking?
Natalie: Mr. Monk, she knew exactly what she was doing.

Kyle Brooks: Come on, it'll cheer us up. Let's play. Everybody's playing. Natalie, Adrian, come on. A little bit of touch football?
Adrian Monk: Here's- Here's the thing. I'm not a big football person. And the touching, that doesn't really help matters.

Lieutenant Disher: I'm in too. Let's go. Let's do it.Uh, let's make the end zones that tree to the walkway. We'll be shirts.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Okay, Randy. Randy, you stay and play football if you want to. I'm gonna go work on this little homicide investigation.
Lieutenant Disher: I gotta go.

Natalie: Mr. Monk, what's going on?
Adrian Monk: Okay, I have a theory. It's completely crazy, but it would explain everything. Kyle and Dianne moved recently. At some point, Kyle must have found some of her old papers - personal papers - including the suicide note she wrote 25 years ago.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Her suicide note?
Adrian Monk: He realized that with that note, he could kill his wife with impunity. It was in her handwriting. Nobody would ever question it.
Dianne Brooks: [v.o.] "The depression is overwhelming. Give Tangerine a good home. No relief. Even today I was eating Rocco's with Adrian and Trudy. Breaking that glass in the quad today felt like the final straw."
Adrian Monk: But he had one problem. Because the note was 25 years old, obviously, there were a couple of things in it that were no longer true.
Natalie: Like the name of her dog.
Adrian Monk: Exactly. And breaking that glass. And eating at the restaurant "with Adrian and Trudy." That's what he was doing all weekend. He was recreating parts of her life to match that suicide note.
Natalie: So when we found out, we wouldn't be suspicious.
Lieutenant Disher: Why did he kill the nurse?
Captain Stottlemeyer: He had no choice. Katherine Rutherford read that note 25 years ago. It would have been made public. She would have recognized it.
Natalie: Oh, my God, Mr. Monk, he could be doing it right now.

Captain Stottlemeyer: Registration sheets are all gone.
Lieutenant Disher: Monk, do you have a cell phone number?
Adrian Monk: No.
Lieutenant Disher: Do you know where they stayed?
Adrian Monk: Some hotel.
Captain Stottlemeyer: There are over 200 hotels in this city, Monk. It'll take us over five hours to check them all.
Adrian Monk: Hold on. Hold on. [tenses his back]
Lieutenant Disher: What's he doing?
Captain Stottlemeyer: I don't know. What are you doing?
Adrian Monk: The hotel where they're staying. It was on the registration form.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah, so?
Adrian Monk: When Dianne signed it, we were standing in line. She wrote... She wrote on my back.
Lieutenant Disher: Can he do that?
Natalie: That's how he met Trudy. It's his superpower.

Uniform Officer: Captain. I just found this under the body.
Captain Stottlemeyer: What is that, a lapel pin?
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, I've seen that before. I know this pin. Someone was wearing it.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Who?
Lieutenant Disher: Hang on. Wait, wait, wait. I don't know.
Captain Stottlemeyer: You don't know.
