Quotes 

• John Wurster : [leading Monk around the Institute]  The cafeteria closes at 7:00. It's buffet style. This is the Music Room.

  [pointing down a corridor] 

  John Wurster : And if you go through these doors, down the hall, that'll take you to the infirmary.

  [they reach another room] 

  John Wurster : This is the Monkey Room. Funny story about how it got its name.

  Adrian Monk : What is it?

  John Wurster : We don't know. We just know there's a funny story.

  Adrian Monk : What's all this?

  [They enter a section of the Institute that is undergoing renovation] 

  John Wurster : They're tearing down the old wall. They're bringin' it up to code. It's a pretty big project. I used to be in construction myself.

  Adrian Monk : Before you became a cop.

  John Wurster : Exactly. Yeah.

  [They enter a hallway with pictures of past Directors on the wall] 

  Adrian Monk : Who's this?

  [points at the first photo] 

  John Wurster : This is Doris Medford. She was the first director here. These are all the other directors.

  [John points at each photograph] 

  John Wurster : Dead. Dead. Dead.

  [John points at Dr. Morris Lancaster's photo] 

  John Wurster : Not dead... yet.

  [a woman, Torch, passes by] 

  Torch : Hello, Wurster.

  John Wurster : That's Torch. She burned her boyfriend's house down.

  [They pass by the door to the Quiet Room] 

  John Wurster : This is the Quiet Room. Don't get sent here.

  [They pass by the door to the Medical Supply Room] 

  John Wurster : Oh, boy.

  Adrian Monk : What's this?

  John Wurster : This is the Medical Supply Room. Gives me the creeps.

  Adrian Monk : Why?

  John Wurster : There was a murder here.

  Adrian Monk : Oh, really. A murder.

  John Wurster : An unsolved murder. Conrad Gould, the assistant director, well, he was killed right here four years ago.

  Adrian Monk : Uh-huh.

  John Wurster : He was a great guy. Gave me magazines. Playboys. Hey. Hey, maybe we can solve it together, huh?

  Adrian Monk : Yeah, sure. Great. What happened, exactly?

  John Wurster : Well, Dr. Gould was taking inventory, like he did every night. A patient named Bill LaFrankie was waiting for him.

  [In a sepia flashback, Bill LaFrankie shoots and kills Dr. Gould in the medical supply room after Dr. Gould comes in while doing the rounds] 

  John Wurster : Capped him in the chest. Then he fled S.O.C.

  Adrian Monk : "S.O.C."?

  John Wurster : Yeah, "Scene of the crime". It's cop talk.

  [In another sepia flashback, we see cops over LaFrankie's dead body in the woods] 

  John Wurster : They found him in the woods the next morning. He was dead. He shot himself up with Demerol.

  Adrian Monk : Uh, I'm a little confused. Why would you call it an unsolved murder?

  John Wurster : Well, I wasn't 100% satisfied with the official version.
