Quotes 

• Miranda St. Claire : Is-is this a joke? Someone tries to kill my husband and you send in Rain Man?

  Captain Stottlemeyer : Mrs. St. Claire, I can assure you, Monk's presence is a sign of just how seriously we take this investigation.

  Gavin Lloyd : Is he, uh...?

  [whistles and twirls a finger around his head] 

  Sharona Fleming : No, no,, it's a form of anxiety disorder. Cases like this are usually caused by a single traumatic event.

  Miranda St. Claire : [smirking]  Someone hit him over the head with a shovel?

  Sharona Fleming : His wife was murdered four years ago. By a car bomb.

• Gavin Lloyd : No, no, no. Forget it. We're four points behind with ten days to go. I am not putting my man in a box.

  Captain Stottlemeyer : Nobody wants to put anybody in a box, Mr. Lloyd.

  Lt. Randall Disher : All we want to do is limit your public appearances... and not announce your schedule in advance.

  Gavin Lloyd : Oh, I'm sure the mayor would love that. Maybe we should move the whole campaign and run it from the basement. How about that?

  Warren St. Claire : Gavin, that's not fair. The captain's just doing his job.

  Captain Stottlemeyer : Mr. St. Claire, can you think of anybody who might wish you harm? A disgruntled employee?

  Miranda St. Claire : Or an ex-wife. Or a union official. I know a couple of ex-business partners... who no longer send us Christmas cards. You boys have your work but out for you.

  Warren St. Claire : A man who hasn't made any enemies hasn't done squat.

  Jesse Goodman : Warren, you're sure you want to go through with this? After yesterday, no one would blame you if you quit.

  Warren St. Claire : Jesse, you used to say "quit" was a four-letter-word.

  Captain Stottlemeyer : Excuse me. We haven't been introduced. I'm sorry. Who are you?

  Jesse Goodman : Uh, Jesse Goodman. I work upstairs. Senior vice president/concerned friend.

  Warren St. Claire : I couldn't make this run if Jesse wasn't upstairs minding the store. Baby.

  [stands and approaches his wife] 

  Warren St. Claire : Do you need that?

  Miranda St. Claire : Yes, I do. Somebody tried to kill my husband yesterday right in front of me.
