Quotes 

• Adrian Monk : I am the beast!

• [leaving the killer's house] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : The guy went to a lot of trouble for nothing. I mean, nobody even watches commercials anymore.

  Adrian Monk : Really?

  Natalie Teeger : Yeah, it's called TiVo, Mr. Monk. People just zap right past to get to the good stuff.

  Adrian Monk : That makes sense!

• [spoiler] 

  Adrian Monk : This is from what they call a website. It's from a Swiss medical journal. Right after the title fight, Louie's daughter flew to Geneva to have a series of experimental operations. Cost over $2 million. So where did he get all that money, Ray? 'Cause your share of the purse wouldn't have covered it. You and Louie bet against yourselves, and then you threw the fight. Right?

  Ray Regis : ...She was dying. This was her only chance. She was so young.

  Adrian Monk : The mob must have lost a fortune on that fight. If I could figure this out, it's possible that they did too. And that's why they tried to kill you.

  Ray Regis : [starting to cry]  This is all my fault. What happened to Eddie. I was just hoping this Friday if I won that I'd prove something. At least to myself. They won't let me fight now, right? So my life is over.

  Adrian Monk : Maybe not. I still haven't told anyone about this, not even Natalie.

  Ray Regis : Why not?

  Adrian Monk : I thought about it. You've been punishing yourself for five years. Maybe that's punishment enough.

  Ray Regis : [hugging him]  Thank you, Mr. Monk! Thank you!

• [in the killer's mansion] 

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : They're authentic. One was stolen nine years ago from a gallery in Madrid, and two are from a museum in Venice.

  Adrian Monk : He was worried that someone would see the artwork on TV and recognize it. But he knew that if Ray Regis were dead, they would never run the ad.

  Natalie Teeger : So he hired that terrible, terrible man.

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : [as the owner is led past them, handcuffed]  Hey, nice collection, Daniel! Too bad none of it's yours.

  Lt. Randall Disher : You should have just kept it all in your basement.

  Daniel MacGraw : It's fine art, Lieutenant. It's meant to be savored. I never imagined my bride would invite a TV crew into my house while I was out of the country.

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : So you didn't tell her it was stolen?

  Daniel MacGraw : [sarcastic]  In hindsight, maybe that's something I should have mentioned.
