Captain Stottlemeyer: Motive. Motive, motive. Let's start with the obvious. Who's running against her?
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, I've got it right here. Harold Jay Krenshaw.
Adrian Monk: You've got to be kidding. Harold Jay Krenshaw? He's running for school board?
Captain Stottlemeyer: You know him?
Adrian Monk: He's a patient of Dr. Kroger's. Uh, I met him in the waiting room. This guy has got some serious problems. He drives everybody he meets crazy. I mean, he's... [adjusts Disher's lapel pin] He's just...

Captain Stottlemeyer: Nobody is accusing anybody of anything here. This is just a friendly conversation. In fact, I bought some doughnuts. Mr. Krenshaw, do you know why you're here?
Harold Krenshaw: Well, it's pretty obvious. [rearranges donuts] I'm running for school board against Natalie Teeger and somebody took a shot at her.
Captain Stottlemeyer: A security guard was killed.
Harold Krenshaw: I heard about that. I'm sorry.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Do you own a gun, Mr. Krenshaw?
Harold Krenshaw: Yes, I do. My father was a a hunter. He bought me a Remington rifle when I was a kid.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Just the Remington?
Harold Krenshaw: That's right.
Adrian Monk: Are you a good shot?
Harold Krenshaw: I'm an exceptional shot.

Lieutenant Disher: Monk, what's goin' on?
Adrian Monk: Did you see that?
Lieutenant Disher: See what?
Adrian Monk: That guy. Whitman. He got to the door, then he stopped. He's done time. In prison, you never open your own door. They open them for you, and after a while, it becomes a habit. He must have just been released.
Lieutenant Disher: Okay, so, he's done time.
Adrian Monk: Look. He just handed me this. Look how it's folded. Four corners to the center, then in half, and half again. In my whole life, I've only ever seen one piece of paper folded like this.
Lieutenant Disher: The sniper's note.
Adrian Monk: He's the guy.
Lieutenant Disher: Why? What's he after?
Adrian Monk: I don't know.
Lieutenant Disher: But he's the guy.
Adrian Monk: Oh, yeah.

Adrian Monk: It's keep-away. Natalie! Natalie, stop! You- You're just embarrassing yourself. No offense, okay, but I'm comin' in. Come on, get out of there. Bring it.
Natalie: Mr. Monk, come on, let's just walk.
Adrian Monk: No. There's not enough time. Whitman is already on his way to your campaign office because the cops that were stationed there have all been sent home. That's why Whitman was waitin' around. Here's what happened. Six months ago, Whitman was in his office, minding his own business, which, in his case, was buying and selling illegal weapons. The ATF raided the office. Whitman managed to burn all the incriminating papers he had, except for one.
Natalie: The one in the copy machine!
Adrian Monk: Exactly. There was something jammed inside that machine. A document, a receipt. Whatever it was, it must be pretty important. After he was arrested, The Feds confiscated all of his equipment, including the copy machine. Last week, when he got out of jail, he learned that the copier had been sold at the police auction.
First Attendant: What the hell is he talkin' about?
Second Attendant: Who cares?
Adrian Monk: The auction was open to the public, so it wasn't hard for Whitman to track you down. He knew the document inside that copier could send him to jail for life. Somehow, Whitman had to stop the repairman from opening it up. He grabbed one of his guns, ran up to the roof across the street, and tried to take out the copier. He figured if he shot it to hell, you'd just throw it out. But you never did. That's why he volunteered. He was waiting for a chance to break into it. But the cops were there around the clock. Oh, shoot, almost had it. And when I got suspicious, he tried to kill me with that grenade. Damn! Ah! Okay, I give up. [jumps for keys]
Natalie: Damn, you are good!
Adrian Monk: Let's go!
Natalie: I'll be back with your money!

Harold Krenshaw: [on TV] There are so many people that l- I want to thank. My secret weapon, my beautiful wife, Clarissa. I love you, honey. Thank you. But most of all, I want to thank my good friend and my therapist, Dr. Charles Kroger. Chuck, come on.
Adrian Monk: Chuck?
Harold Krenshaw: No, come on, come on. Thank you. God bless you.
Natalie: You okay?
Adrian Monk: Uh, I'd like to go home now.
Natalie: All right, all right, let me just get my purse.
Julie Teeger: Come on, Mr. Monk. This way.
Natalie: It's okay, it's okay. I got you.
Adrian Monk: Did you hear that? He called him "Chuck."

Lieutenant Disher: The witnesses are all over the map, too. Some say they heard five shots, some say nine.
Adrian Monk: Fourteen;
Captain Stottlemeyer: You sure? Of course you're sure. How did they come? Were they evenly spaced?
Adrian Monk: Bang. Bang, bang. Bang. Bang, bang, bang, bang.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Rapid fire, semi-automatic.
Adrian Monk: Bang, bang, bang.
Lieutenant Disher: We haven't found any shells. Guy did a pretty good cleanup job.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, maybe he's done this before.

Captain Stottlemeyer: Monk, what do you got?
Adrian Monk: Well, the... The roof slants at a weird angle right here. Do you have a bullet? [rolls bullet]
Lieutenant Disher: He missed one. It's a 7.62. AK?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah, Kalashnikov. Russian. That's somethin'. Call Grooms at the Bureau, and the ATF. Maybe they have an idea.

Captain Stottlemeyer: Looks like a note. "Natalie Teege[r] must withdraw." Son of a bitch, he was after Natalie.
Lieutenant Disher: Well, that doesn't make sense. It's just a school board election. I mean, who cares?
Adrian Monk: He spelled her name wrong.
Lieutenant Disher: He was probably in a rush.
Adrian Monk: I don't think so. It looks like he took his time. He dotted all the "I's," crossed the "T's." He spelled her name wrong.

Lieutenant Disher: Miss Teeger! Please, don't do that.
Natalie: What?
Lieutenant Disher: Walk away without telling me.
Natalie: I went 5 feet.
Lieutenant Disher: Still. It's protocol.

Adrian Monk: I don't think this was about the school at all. I can't stop thinking about that note and how he misspelled your name.
Natalie: What do you think it means?
Adrian Monk: I don't know. But it's important.
