• Master Zi : [blindfolded]  A great sorrow has entered this room.

  Adrian Monk : That would be me.

• Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : You remember that convention I went to in Atlanta about four years ago? Well, something happened there that I didn't tell you about. I got to the airport, I hailed a cab. Monk, I recognized the driver. It was Harold Burnshaw.

  Adrian Monk : Burnshaw?

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Burnshaw, he used to be a Fed. He was a real player. He used to head the F.B.I.'s field office in Atlanta, right up until the 1996 Olympic Games.

  Adrian Monk : The Plaza bombing?

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Exactly. They accused the wrong guy, Burnshaw booted it big-time on national television, instant career-killer. Now he's driving a cab. Monk, you should have seen his face. I'll never forget it.

  Adrian Monk : What does this have to do with...?

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Twenty years ago, Sonny Chow froze some of his own blood in the event that he needed surgery. So they've got bulletproof DNA for a comparison, and that's a prelim on the hair we found at the crime scene.

  Adrian Monk : [reads]  It's a match.

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : It's Sonny Chow's hair. No question about it. He's been dead for six years, and he's my primary suspect.

  Adrian Monk : Yeah...

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Now if I go public with this, and I'm wrong, *I'm* gonna end up at the airport, picking up cops who still have jobs.

• Adrian Monk : You are a wise and learned man, Master Zi.

  Master Zi : As are you.

  Adrian Monk : It must be a tremendous burden, so much wisdom.

  Master Zi : It is a gift... and a curse.

• [Master Zi steps closer to Monk] 

  Master Zi : Oh, my... a very troubled soul. You are on a quest, Mr. Monk.

  Adrian Monk : That's right.

  Master Zi : You live in a dark place. The darkness is your fear.

  [He gives Monk a small candle and match] 

  Master Zi : Take this. The light is your weapon, Mr. Monk. Be the light.
