Quotes 

• Lt. Randall Disher : [gets caught up in a spider's web, and mistakes it for a booby trap]  BOOBY TRAP!

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Randy! RANDY! It's not a booby trap! It's a spider's web.

  Bennie Wentworth : [walks over]  What's going on? Did you break this bike?

  [points to a broken bike lying on the ground] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : Sorry.

  Bennie Wentworth : You break it, you bought it. That's the rule.

  Natalie Teeger : It's a junkyard. How do you know if something's broken?

  Bennie Wentworth : I know. I can tell. Look.

  [He picks up the bicycle, and points to a twisted up wheel] 

  Bennie Wentworth : This wheel is all bent! 40 bucks!

  Lt. Randall Disher : 40 bucks. No way.

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : [to Bennie]  Mr. Wentworth, this is Adrian Monk and Natalie Teeger. They're helping us out. I was wondering, could you go over the whole thing again, please?

  Bennie Wentworth : Go over what? The guy was on my property, he tried to rip me off. He got what was coming to him, end of story.

  [back to Randy] 

  Bennie Wentworth : I tell you what. Give me $20 bucks, we'll forget about the whole thing.

  [regarding the broken bike] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : I'm not paying for it!

  Adrian Monk : What was he doing here? Mr. Wentworth, what do you think he was after?

  Bennie Wentworth : I don't know. Maybe he needed a carburetor. People need carburetors.

  Adrian Monk : [referring to the dead man]  He was wearing a $2,000 suit. And those are Italian shoes. I think he could afford a carburetor.

  Bennie Wentworth : Maybe he stole the suit. That's possible, isn't it? Maybe he stole the shoes! Maybe he's on a spree.

  Adrian Monk : The suit, the shoes, the carburetor. What kind of spree is that?

  Bennie Wentworth : I don't know. An eclectic spree.

  Natalie Teeger : Do you have any enemies?

  Bennie Wentworth : None that I can think of, except for this guy the bicycle thief!

  [points at Randy] 

  Bennie Wentworth : 20 bucks.

  [Bennie makes another attempt at bargaining with Randy about the broken bike's price] 

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Randy, give him five bucks.

  Lt. Randall Disher : Fine.

  [He takes five bucks out of his own wallet and pays Bennie] 

  Adrian Monk : I wonder what happened to his partner.

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : What partner?

  Adrian Monk : Well it's a dirt road out there. Very little dust on his shoes. Somebody must have dropped him off. Maybe they took off when they heard the gunshot.

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : [to Randy]  Secure the road. Tell the crime scene techs to check for tire tracks.

  [Randy starts to walk away, and Stottlemeyer stops him] 

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Randy! Your bike.

  [Randy reluctantly walks back and picks up the broken bike. He carries it away with him] 

• [an intruder walks into the junkyard and wakes up Bennie. As soon as the man gets near Bennie's bunk, Bennie stops him] 

  Bennie Wentworth : All right.

  [notices the gun] 

  Bennie Wentworth : Okay, don't do anything stupid.

  [the man does not stop and continues to tip toe towards Bennie] 

  Bennie Wentworth : Not much of a talker, now don't take another step. I'm warning you, not one more step!

  [the man doesn't spot a trip wire. He hits it. The trip wire pulls the trigger on a shotgun, which fires at him. The man is sent flying backwards] 

  Bennie Wentworth : I tried to tell you. Nobody listens to me.

  [Bennie casually lights a cigarette]
