Quotes 

• [first lines; Rusty delivers lunch to his crew at Fire Company 53] 

  Rusty : All right, gentlemen. Here they are. Get 'em while they're warm.

  First Fireman : Hey Rusty, what's in these? In case my doctor needs to know.

  Rusty : Let me tell you wise guys something: when I was on payroll, we *respected* our elders. I come in here, I volunteer, do I get a "Thank you, Rusty?" No, I get jokes! And they aren't even funny jokes! They're old and stale.

  Captain Stockton : Come on Rusty, we all love you! You know that. Look, I'm eating one!

  [takes a bite out of his sandwich. Monk walks into the garage with a container of smoke alarms] 

  Adrian Monk : Hey, hey, Karl with a "K."

  Captain Stockton : Aw, hell, he's back.

  Adrian Monk : Hey Chucky, you missed a spot.

  [comes up to the table] 

  Adrian Monk : Captain, can you believe it's been a year already?

  Captain Stockton : You know, Mr. Monk, I told you you can test those smoke alarms at home by yourself.

  Adrian Monk : Yes, I know but, I'd rather you guys did it. You're the experts, right?

  [the station's call alarm goes off. Everyone stops what they are doing and immediately heads towards the engine. Stockton is handed a slip of paper] 

  Captain Stockton : House fire. Three alarm. Mr. Monk, I'm afraid you're going to have to wait.

  Adrian Monk : Captain, I was here first.

  Captain Stockton : Sir, there is a house burning down five blocks away. Don't you think that should take a priority right now?

  [Monk turns to Rusty] 

  Adrian Monk : Uhhhh...

  [turns back towards the fire captain, who is now getting into the cab of the engine] 

  Captain Stockton : Don't you?

  [Monk turns back towards Rusty. Behind him, the engine comes to life and the brakes release] 

  Adrian Monk : I don't know.

  Fireman : Let's go!

  [the engine starts to pull out on to the street] 

  Adrian Monk : OK but I haven't got all day!

  [the engine turns right, activates its siren, and speeds away. Cuts to Rusty testing Monk's alarms by producing smoke from his cigarette] 

  Rusty : How many rooms do you have?

  Adrian Monk : Five.

  Rusty : Thirty smoke detectors for five rooms?

  Adrian Monk : Plus two hallways and a vestibule.

  Rusty : I used to say you can't be too careful. I'll never say that again.

  [He hears a squeaking noise. Both Rusty and Monk turn and see Eddie Murdoch walk into the firehouse] 

  Rusty : Excuse me! Hello?

  [Murdoch walks around the front of the parked engine. Rusty gets up and walks around the back of the truck, and sees him by the rack of turnout gear] 

  Rusty : Hey, you're not allowed back here.

  [Murdoch grabs a shovel and swings it at Rusty's head, killing him instantly. Monk hears the loud clang that results] 

  Adrian Monk : Rusty? Rusty?

  [He runs around the back of the truck, and is promptly attacked by Eddie Murdoch. Monk manages to fight back against Murdoch, and is able to grab the shovel, but as he is about to swing, Murdoch grabs a bucket of cleaning solvent from the workbench and throws it in Monk's face. Monk staggers back against the rear wheels of the truck, and then slides down the side of the vehicle to the floor] 

• [Monk makes his way around the firehouse, as cops and firemen watch and wait] 

  Adrian Monk : Now, the table is here.

  [He's pointing at the foldout chairs] 

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : No, Monk. The table... is here.

  [He points Monk's hand at the table] 

  Adrian Monk : Right. Which puts the pole right there.

  [Stottlemeyer redirects his hand] 

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Pole's there.

  Adrian Monk : I can't do this.

  Natalie Teeger : You can do this. Mr. Monk, just concentrate, okay? Just try to picture the room. You can do this, you have an amazing memory!

  Adrian Monk : Oh right. I forgot about my amazing memory.

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Look, what we can't figure is what the guy was doing here. What was he looking for?

  Adrian Monk : I don't know. Is anything missing?

  Capt. Stockton : I don't think so. There's nothing here worth taking. No money, nothing. It doesn't make any sense.

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Okay, let's do this.

  [Stottlemeyer and Natalie get Monk into the chair he was sitting in] 

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : You and Rusty were sitting here, you were checking the smoke detectors.

  Adrian Monk : Right, and then this man, entered from over there. He walked around the truck slowly, like he was trying not to be noticed.

  Lt. Randall Disher : Monk, Lt. RAndy Disher here. I'm speaking to you.

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Randy, you don't have to tell the man that you're speaking to him!

  Lt. Randall Disher : [looks at his notebook]  OK. You know who this is, and that I'm speaking to you, and in your statement, you said that you could hear him, that his shoes were squeaking.

  Adrian Monk : That's right.

  Lt. Randall Disher : And that he was tall, heavyset, about 6'1", with sandy hair, and wearing a leather jacker.

  Adrian Monk : That's right. And then Rusty walked over to him, around the back of the truck. Then I heard this big noise, and I walked around the truck.

  [He copies his movements from that day. He feels for the truck] 

  Adrian Monk : Where is the truck?

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : The truck's been moved, Monk. You're good.

  Adrian Monk : And I saw Rusty on the floor, and the man was carrying a shovel in his hands.

  Lt. Randall Disher : You said you could smell him, that he'd been drinking.

  Adrian Monk : Rum, he smelled like rum!

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : We got that, Randy! Is there anything else? Anything new? Anything you forgot to mention?

  Adrian Monk : No, I don't think so.
