Quotes 

• Biederbeck : There's not a prison in the country that can hold me!

  Adrian Monk : There are very few shopping malls that can hold you. But nonetheless, we're gonna give it a try.

  Biederbeck : [enraged]  YOU...! YOU...!

  [reaches out in an attempt to strangle Monk] 

  Sharona Fleming : What's he doing?

  Adrian Monk : [leaning in closer to Dale, staying just out of reach]  I think he's trying to kill me.

  [Dale finally gives up, flopping back on the bed in exhaustion] 

  Adrian Monk : Wasn't really much of a fight, was it?

• Sharona Fleming : Don't you ever wonder why you don't get invited anywhere?

  Adrian Monk : No, not really...

• Sharona Fleming : Do you know who asked me out? I'll give you a hint. He's a doctor.

  Adrian Monk : Kevorkian?

  Sharona Fleming : Very funny.

• Adrian Monk : [surveying a crime scene in a house that's been ransacked]  I don't feel so good.

  [groans] 

  Adrian Monk : It's like a Feng Shui nightmare in here!

• Sharona Fleming : Adrian, can I ask you something? If it's none of my buisiness, I promise I'll shut up.

  Adrian Monk : [smiling]  I doubt it.

  Sharona Fleming : What did Trudy mean by 'bread and butter?'

  Adrian Monk : Whenever Trudy and I were walking somewhere, we would hold hands, and if there was a lamp post or somebody walked between us and we had to let go for a second, she'd always say 'bread and butter'.

  Sharona Fleming : So when she died...

  Adrian Monk : Yeah, I think it was a message for me. She was saying, "I have to let go now for a little while, but it won't be forever."

• Biederbeck : Where were we? Bread and butter.

  Adrian Monk : [shocked]  What?

  Biederbeck : "Bread and butter." Those were Trudy's last words, weren't they? The transcript of the coroner's inquest is a matter of public record. The Internet, Monk; it's the fat man's best friend. It's been troubling me for years. What could she have meant? "Bread and butter."

  Adrian Monk : Go to hell.

  Biederbeck : [laughing]  No doubt I will. I just hope it's handicap-accessible.

• Adrian Monk : [Monk receives a phone call at Sharona's house]  Hello?

  Biederbeck : Bread and butter. Bread and butter. It's been driving me crazy. What could she have possibly meant? Bread and butter. I figure it was a message. A secret message, just for you.

  Adrian Monk : What can I do for you, Dale?

  Biederbeck : Well, I'm a little worried about Sharona. She sort of fell apart on us last night. I'm really not sure if we can count on her, Adrian.

  Adrian Monk : You have other things to worry about.

  Biederbeck : You can't scare me. Don't even try. You're meek. Meeky meek meek.

• Adrian Monk : I know Biederbeck; you don't. He's dangerous. This man is capable of anything.

  Sharona Fleming : He weighs eight hundred and four pounds. What is he going to do, break wind on me?
