Adrian Monk Quote #2042
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Takes a Punch
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.

Lieutenant Disher: Mister Regis, Ray, Machine, do you have any enemies? Or have you received any threats lately?
Ray Regis: Not lately. Five years ago when I lost the title, it seemed like everybody wanted my head.
Captain Stottlemeyer: That was a tough night. I thought you had him in the fifth.
Ray Regis: Yeah. It wasn't my night.
Lieutenant Disher: It's a tough racket. I do a little boxing myself. Light middleweight.

Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, that's right. He was older than me. He was experienced. Wiley.
Captain Stottlemeyer: He had a cane.
Lieutenant Disher: And he used it.
