Agent Grooms: Captain! D.A. won't hold Ricky Babbage. I was hoping this might change your mind. [off Stottlemeyer's look] Oh, you can't be serious. You still think Rip Van Winkle's behind this?
Captain Stottlemeyer: We believe Brian Babbage is involved, yes. We just don't know how.
Agent Grooms: And by "we," you mean, you and your consultant.
Adrian Monk: [shouts] Yeah, I'm pretty sure Howdy Doody was a puppet.
Agent Grooms: How was your career, Captain? Did you enjoy it?

Adrian Monk: She says she's thinking about it, but I can tell she's gonna go. Why should she be different? Everybody leaves me. Trudy. Dr. Kroger. And now, Sharona. It's like the national pastime. Comments? Any questions?

Lieutenant Disher: You okay?
Sharona: Yeah, it was just your basic mail bomb. No big deal.
Lieutenant Disher: So I heard you're leaving. New Jersey.
Sharona: Are you gonna miss me?
Lieutenant Disher: Nope. Well, maybe a little.
Sharona: Do me a favor and call me sometime to remind me why I left.
Lieutenant Disher: I'll do that.

Sharona: By the time they were delivered, Brian had a perfect alibi.
Agent Grooms: He put himself in a coma? That's his alibi? That's the stupidest plan I ever heard of. He came this close to killing himself.
Adrian Monk: I was stumped too. But then I realized, that wasn't his plan at all. No one would plan to be in a coma.
Captain Stottlemeyer: His idea was to get himself arrested so he would be in jail when the bombs were delivered. That's why he tried to lead us on a car chase. He figured he'd be in jail for seven or eight months.
Adrian Monk: He even picked out a terrible lawyer, to make sure that he wouldn't get off.
Captain Stottlemeyer: But he screwed up and he hit a truck.
Lieutenant Disher: And a car. Then another car.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Brian Babbage stumbled literally, by accident into the best alibi in the history of crime.
Agent Grooms: Look, where's your proof?
Adrian Monk: Brian Babbage woke up this morning. I've arranged for all of us to pay him a little visit.
Tamil Swarma: This is going to be great.
Adrian Monk: Not you.

Maria: Mister Babbage?
Brian Babbage: Maria.
Maria: Oh! You're awake! It's a miracle. I came as soon as I heard. Sorry about your sister and your brother.
Brian Babbage: Thank you, Maria. The doctor just told me about them. I can't- I can't believe it.
Maria: I won't stay long. I just wanted to welcome you back. And I brought your mail.
Brian Babbage: What's- What's that?
Maria: I'm sorry, I started to open...
Brian Babbage: It's a bomb. It's a bomb! Get down! Get down.
[Randy pulls back the hospital curtain to reveal Monk, Sharona, Stottlemeyer and Agent Grooms]
Adrian Monk: I can't help but wonder what made you think that was a bomb, Mr. Babbage.
Lieutenant Disher: Brian Babbage? Good morning. You're under arrest for the murder of your sister, Amanda.
