Quote from Adrian Monk
Kathy: Hello. I'm sorry to bother you. You were asking about room number ten. You wanted to switch?
Adrian Monk: Yeah.
Maid: My father said 10 will be available on Sunday, but you understand it's basically the same room, just a different number.
Adrian Monk: Right, I, I, I understand.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Kathy: Be a good girl. I'm sorry, she's just a puppy. We're still teaching her.
Adrian Monk: She's not on a leash? Where's her leash? She should have a leash.
Kathy: Oh, no. She has a special collar. Actually, a shock collar. My father put a wire around the motel. It's like an invisible fence. If she wanders too far, she gets a little zap.
Adrian Monk: Yeah, I know how she feels.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Kathy: What's all this?
Adrian Monk: It's just research. I'm writing a story.
Kathy: You write about criminals? Like, mysteries?
Adrian Monk: Well...
Kathy: You know what you should write about? You should write about this. It actually just happened two miles from here. A highway worker was killed.
Adrian Monk: Really? Yeah?
Kathy: Yeah, it's a real-life mystery with real clues and everything. Yeah, it was hit-and-run, actually. They're looking for a silver SUV.
Adrian Monk: Yeah.
Kathy: I can leave it if you want.
Adrian Monk: No, no, that, that's okay. You, you can take it. Take, take...
Kathy: Well, I'll let you get back to your work. Good night, Mr. Rodriguez.
Adrian Monk: Good night.
Kathy: Eureka, what are you doing? Come on, Eureka, let's go.
Adrian Monk: Eureka.
Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer
Captain Stottlemeyer: Hello, Sheriff Rollins. Make yourself at home.
Sheriff Rollins: You read the paper today?
Captain Stottlemeyer: I did. I read the sports page. I did the jumble.
Sheriff Rollins: Eh, not the jumble. This, page five. Male, Caucasian, 5'11", late 40s.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Is it Monk?
Sheriff Rollins: No. It's not Monk. I was at the morgue last night. [scoffs] The guy had a tattoo and red hair. Uh, I thought it was strange.
Captain Stottlemeyer: What was strange?
Sheriff Rollins: Well, I'll tell you what was strange. You weren't there. A bulletin was sent in. It was in the daily log. You must have read it. You guys won't mind if I hang around a few more days, see if anything else washes up?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Knock yourself out. We can use all the help we can get.
Sheriff Rollins: We all got to suffer.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah.
Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer
Natalie: What's he doing in Nevada?
Captain Stottlemeyer: He's supposed to be avoiding attention, staying off the radar.
Natalie: He's all alone?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Natalie, you can't tell anybody. You can't tell Randy. You can't even tell Julie.
Natalie: Randy doesn't know?
Captain Stottlemeyer: No. I'm trying to protect him.
Natalie: From what?
Captain Stottlemeyer: I'm not sure. There's something going on here. That Sheriff Rollins, he framed Monk for shooting the six-fingered man. You were there. They were gonna send Monk away forever. And it's not just Rollins. Rollins is working for somebody. Maybe somebody in the governor's office.
Natalie: My God.
Captain Stottlemeyer: It might go higher than that, I'm not sure. I'm still working on it. I just need a little more time.
Natalie: I have to see him.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Natalie, no. Leave him alone. He's safe where he is. You have to promise me you're not gonna do anything. Promise me.
Natalie: Okay. Okay, I promise.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Man: Make me happy.
Sheriff Rollins: [on the phone] She's on the move. It looks like a real road trip. Took her daughter to a neighbor's, packed a suitcase.
Man: Stay with her. She'll lead you right to him.
Sheriff Rollins: What do I do when I find him?
Man: Do you really have to ask?
Sheriff Rollins: No, sir, I do not.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Carlos: Hey, Sherlock Holmes, you know how to lock up, right? Make sure you put the rags in the washing machine. Don't clean the washing machine. Just put the rags in the washing machine, understand? See you manana.
Adrian Monk: Hola, senorita. Hola.
Natalie: Mr. Monk, I know it's you.
Adrian Monk: What's with the wipe? Why would I need a-
Natalie: Oh, God. God. Why didn't you tell me?
Adrian Monk: To protect you. I thought Rollins might be watching you.
Natalie: Oh, that's ridiculous. Why would Rollins-
Sheriff Rollins: Adrian, don't move a muscle. Show me your hands. You too, miss Teeger. You are knee-deep in it now, buddy.
Natalie: You're the one that's in trouble. We know all about how you set Mr. Monk up and switched the gun barrels. If anybody's going to prison, it is you.
Adrian Monk: Thanks for stopping by, Natalie.
Sheriff Rollins: Let me tell you about the real world, Natalie. It's never about what happened. It's always, can you prove what happened? All right, Adrian, we've done this before. On the ground, face down. [Adrian kicks a canister towards Rollins] What was that?
Adrian Monk: It was supposed to... It was supposed to go faster.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Sheriff Rollins: Come on out, buddy. Don't make me do something I'm not gonna regret. You too, Natalie. Aiding and abetting. I gotta call the big man. He's not paying me enough for this crap.
Adrian Monk: The big man?
Quote from Natalie
Natalie: What about Sheriff Rollins?
Dale Biederbeck: What about him?
Natalie: We know he's on your payroll.
Dale Biederbeck: Is he really?
Natalie: He used to work here as a prison guard. Is that where you met him? And we know you hired Frank Nunn. You brought him back from South America. You're planning something. Whatever it is, Mr. Biederbeck, you can forget about it it's not going to happen.
Dale Biederbeck: I'm afraid you're too late, Natalie. Wheels are in motion.
Natalie: It was nice meeting you.
Dale Biederbeck: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Before you go, turn on your little machine. I want to say hello to your boss. Hello, Adrian. How's my favorite Desperado? So nice meeting Natalie. We had a wonderful chat. She hardly seemed repulsed by me at all. In fact, I think I might offer her a job you're in here and I'm out there.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Natalie: He kept saying that. He kept talking about trading places with you. He thinks he's getting out.
Adrian Monk: Well, if he's thinking of squeezing through the bars, he's got 400 pounds to go. What is that behind him?
Natalie: I knew you were going to ask me that. That's why I zoomed in.
Adrian Monk: It's a computer.
Natalie: It's a weather report. Riverton, California.
Adrian Monk: Riverton.
[flashback:]
Man: Don't screw with me, man. I held up my end. I just got back from Riverton. It's all set up. We're good to go.
[present:]
Adrian Monk: Riverton. [opens newspaper]
Natalie: The Governor?
Adrian Monk: They're gonna kill him.
