Sister Heather: Captain Stottlemeyer. I'm sister Heather.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Hi, Sister. You know why I'm here, right?
Sister Heather: Yes. He's here. He's in the sanctuary. He's very frightened. You think he tried to murder you?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yes, ma'am, I do.
Sister Heather: You obviously have very strong feelings about this.
Captain Stottlemeyer: You got that... Yes, I do.
Sister Heather: I just wanna make sure that Brad isn't mistreated.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Brad's not his name.
Sister Heather: You're right. I don't know his real name. But I know the man. He's been working in our outreach program. He's been feeding the hungry and homeless every night. When they're too tired to come here, he brings the food to them.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, maybe he has a guilty conscience.
Sister Heather: Well, any conscience at all is a rare thing these days. What do you want, Captain?
Captain Stottlemeyer: I want justice.
Sister Heather: Well, he's afraid that you want something else. He's afraid you and the other policemen want...
Captain Stottlemeyer: Revenge.
Sister Heather: My Father wants taught me an important lesson. There's no revenge so complete as forgiveness.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Your father?
Sister Heather: He's your Father too.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Okay, look, I promise you that I will not hurt him.

Adrian Monk: Frank, there's a clinic next to the church. They have drugs, they have chemicals. Did you have access to the storage room?
Frank Prager: Uh, I mean, I didn't have key or anything, but it would've been easy enough to break in. I didn't poison anybody. I'm not a killer.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Oh, right. What about our last date in the parking lot 4 months ago?
Frank Prager: I wasn't trying to kill you.
Captain Stottlemeyer: You can't be serious.
Frank Prager: All right. I've thought about it. When I got there, I couldn't. I didn't want to become my brother. The last minute, I decided to send you a message.
Captain Stottlemeyer: A message?
Adrian Monk: Oh, my God. Captain, the pattern. It was M. M for Michael.
Frank Prager: Yeah. It was an M. How could you miss it?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, how was I supposed to know that was the letter M? This guy's the best detective in the free world. He didn't know that was an M. What, you couldn't use a spray can like everybody else? Oh, for god's sake, a message.
Frank Prager: I just wanted you to think about what you did. Michael was a good kid who got screwed up.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Wait, you think I don't think about your brother? I think about your brother every damn day of my life. It was him or me. And it still eats me up. I don't need an M on a wall to remember something like that. No cop does. Get him out of here.

Adrian Monk: Okay, moving on, Lieutenant, you said there were four other suspects who might've had a motive.
Lieutenant Disher: Actually, we struck out. One's deceased, one's in the hospital and two are back in prison.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Okay. So it wasn't Frank Prager. It's nobody on your list. Who sent me that bottle of wine?
Lieutenant Disher: And will they try again? To kill you, I mean.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I know what you mean, Lieutenant.

Alice: So what's going on?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Monk thinks that he knows who tried to kill me during the Christmas party.
Alice: I heard it was Frank Prager.
Captain Stottlemeyer: No, it wasn't Prager. In fact, it wasn't anybody.
Adrian Monk: Nobody tried to kill the captain. That was a trick to throw us off track. Terry Chasen was the target from the beginning.
Lieutenant Disher: Alice, we know you and Terry were involved. We've got phone records, credit cards. You were together for about 6 months.
Alice: 7.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Was it because he went back to his wife? That's why you killed him?

Adrian Monk: Alice. We know how you did it. The Christmas gift exchange was your idea. It was easy to make sure that the captain picked Terry's name.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah, I remember. I was the last one to choose and there was one name left.
Adrian Monk: The day of the party, you brought poisoned bottle into the office. You dropped it off at the front desk. It was addressed to Captain Stottlemeyer.
Captain Stottlemeyer: And you know I don't drink port.
Adrian Monk: And at some point, probably during the party, you snuck into the Captain's office and you stole the gift that he had brought in for Terry.
Natalie: When the captain couldn't find it, you suggested replacing it with the bottle. The poisoned bottle.
Adrian Monk: It was like a magician doing sleight of hand. You had everybody looking the wrong way. It was brilliant.

Captain Stottlemeyer: Alice. Alice. Where's the poison? You know, if you threw it away, we'll find traces of it. You know that.
Alice: It's in the basement. How did you know?
Adrian Monk: Natalie. This is the card and the envelope. It came with the whisk broom, which, by the way, I've been using. It really is fantastic. But the card is a little too big. See, you had to fold it over. This card came with the poisoned bottle. It's too small. Alice, you mixed them up.
Alice: I mixed them up. And I'm usually so organized. I couldn't... I just couldn't live without him. [sighs]

Captain Stottlemeyer: I talked to the DA. She's gonna offer you a deal on the assault. Think about it. And you can decide when you get back.
Frank Prager: Where am I going?
Captain Stottlemeyer: You are released on your own recognizance for two days. Now, I am responsible for you. So don't make me regret it. Go home.

Natalie: Aren't you curious?
Adrian Monk: No. I love not knowing.
