Quotes 

• Ray Regis : Adrian Monk, the detective? He's supposed to be the best.

  Lt. Randall Disher : The best of the best. He's kind of like a superhero.

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : [chuckles]  He's good, but I wouldn't call him a superhero.

  [Monk enters, wearing his purple jogging suit and headband, and stands with his fists on his hips] 

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : I guess I stand corrected.

• [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!
