Captain Stottlemeyer: Adrian Monk, Ray "The Machine" Regis. This is his manager, Louie Flynn.
Ray Regis: Mr. Monk, it's an honor. When I heard you were coming, I said to myself, okay, we're gonna be okay.
We're in good hands. 'cause this guy Monk will find Eddie's killer. He's like me. He's a fighter. He'll never give up.
Adrian Monk: This is my last case.
Captain Stottlemeyer: This is not your last case.
Adrian Monk: You weren't there.
Louie Flynn: He looks like a big, sad plum.

Dr. Bell: A half mile in four minutes.
Adrian Monk: No, no, no. That's part of it. And it can't be done.
Dr. Bell: Yeah, people do it every day.
Adrian Monk: Not people my age.
Dr. Bell: That's not true.
Adrian Monk: Not people my age with my body. I knew I was getting old, but when did I get too old?

Dr. Bell: Well, Adrian, I think you're being a little too hard on yourself. I mean, you haven't run in what, 30 years?
Adrian Monk: [groans] It doesn't matter. I can't do it. Last night, I made a decision. I quit. It's over. I just- I'm giving up.
Dr. Bell: Just like that?
Adrian Monk: Uh-huh.
Dr. Bell: You're giving up being a detective?
Adrian Monk: Uh-huh.
Dr. Bell: And any chance you'll ever have of being reinstated? Adrian, we haven't known each other very long. But I'm a pretty good judge of character. And I know one thing for sure. You're no quitter.
Adrian Monk: Then how do you explain this? I quit.

Captain Stottlemeyer: What is this?
Adrian Monk: Application.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Monk, you're not going on welfare. If you go on welfare, I will shoot you.
Adrian Monk: Good. I'll get more money, won't I?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Why? Because you're out of breath, your knees ache? So that's it, huh? After all these years, you're just gonna walk away. Give up. What would Trudy say? No, let me rephrase that. What is Trudy saying?

Ray Regis: What's this?
Adrian Monk: You threw the fight, Ray. Five years ago, the title fight.
Ray Regis: [laughs] Come on, man. You hear stories all the time.
Adrian Monk: I had Natalie's daughter do some research for me, on the world wide internet computer web. Don't worry, I didn't tell her what it was for.
Ray Regis: What?
Adrian Monk: See? There's Louie Flynn. See? And there he is again. He's always wearing the same cross.
Ray Regis: Okay, so his. His mother gave him that cross. He said it was blessed by the Pope. And he has a habit. He tucks it under his shirt whenever he's lying. Here's the title fight. You see, he's tucked it away. Like he's ashamed of himself.
Ray Regis: That doesn't prove anything. Does it?
Adrian Monk: No, but this does. This is from what they call a website. It's from a Swiss medical journal. Right after the title fight, Louie's daughter flew to Geneva to have a series of experimental operations. Cost over $2 million. So where did he get all that money, Ray? 'cause your share of the purse wouldn't have covered it. You and Louie bet against yourselves. And then you threw the fight. Right?
Ray Regis: She was dying. This was her only chance. She was so young.
Adrian Monk: The mob must have lost a fortune on that fight. If I could figure this out, it's possible that they did too. And that's why they tried to kill you.
Ray Regis: This is all my fault. What happened to Eddie. I was just hoping this Friday if I won that I'd prove something. At least to myself. They won't let me fight now, right? So my life is over.

Adrian Monk: Maybe not. I still haven't told anyone about this, not even Natalie.
Ray Regis: Why not?
Adrian Monk: I thought about it. You've been punishing yourself for five years. Maybe that's punishment enough.
Ray Regis: Thank you, Mr. Monk. You're like an angel. If there's anything I can do for you...
Adrian Monk: Now that you mention it there is something.

Ray Regis: Hey, it ain't early. It's 5:00 a.m. Took the whole day off. Told Louie I had to clear my head. You know, after everything that's happened. Drink up.
Adrian Monk: What is it?
Ray Regis: Don't ask.
Adrian Monk: Okay, but what is it?
Ray Regis: It's called Go Juice. Louie invented it 20 years ago. It's got every juice and herb you can think of all mixed together. Makes you go! Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
Adrian Monk: You're giving me a laxative?
Ray Regis: When I say go, I mean like the wind. Like the beast you were. And will be again. You're a beast. What are you?
Adrian Monk: [timidly] A beast.
Ray Regis: What are you?!
Adrian Monk: I'm a beast.
Ray Regis: Let's do this!

Captain Stottlemeyer: Frankie, you've been known to hold a grudge.
Frankie Marino: Not this time. There was some talk on the street the fight might end prematurely. We moved some money around. Adjusted the odds. It was actually one of the biggest paydays we ever had. I got no beef with Ray Regis.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I am trying to save the kid's life.
Frankie Marino: I don't know very much. Somebody was shopping a contract. I don't know who, but it was serious. He wanted it done by the end of the month.
Captain Stottlemeyer: By the end of the month? The fight's on Friday. That's the 25th. Why by the end of the month?
Frankie Marino: Weird?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah, weird.
Lieutenant Disher: Very weird.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Get dressed, Randy.

Adrian Monk: How did I do?
Ray Regis: You finished. That was the main thing. You ran that whole half mile.
Adrian Monk: Yeah, but how long? How long?
Ray Regis: Adrian, it was just a test run. It don't really count.
Adrian Monk: Because it felt like five minutes, maybe maybe six. Between five and six.
Ray Regis: Well.
Adrian Monk: 27 minutes?! That's not possible. It's not- This thing is broken.
Ray Regis: Well, you kept rearranging the hurdles and touching everything. That stuff adds up.
Adrian Monk: I'll never do it.
Ray Regis: Hey. Never say never. Never say never. That's the worst swear word there is. You can do it and you will do it. The beast is in you. You'll do it when you have to do it. When it's crunch time, you will reach down, deep down, and you will find it. You're gonna find it. And hopefully, I will too.

Captain Stottlemeyer: It was him or us. The sad thing is that we'll never know who hired him.
[flashback:]
Ray Regis: So I use Max deodorant.
[flashback:]
Captain Stottlemeyer: No, it's stolen art. There's a rumor some guy in the city's been buying it all up. We're supposed to keep an eye out for it.
[flashback:]
Man: [on video] Are you filming this!? Come on, get. Get out of here! Turn everything off right now and get the hell out of my house!
[flashback:]
Producer: This spot has to be on the air by September 1st.
[flashback:]
Captain Stottlemeyer: He is here because somebody wants Ray Regis dead by the end of the month.
[present:]
Adrian Monk: We got him.
Lieutenant Disher: We got who?
Adrian Monk: The guy who wanted Regis dead. Remember the art gallery you had on your wall?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah.
