Chris Downey quotes from Monk

Lieutenant, you realize that if Sonny Chow is alive, he's killed at least two people.

Yeah?

You'd have to arrest him.

I'd get to meet him.

He might even try to kill you.

You think so? Wow, that would be so cool! Sonny Chow!

[Cuts to the gravediggers lifting the coffin out of the ground]

Captain. How are you feeling?

I'm a nervous wreck. How'd things go with the Zen master?

Well he said Sonny Chow died in his arms. I believe him.

Good. Well at least the press hasn't gotten wind of this, 'cause once they do, it's gonna be like Christmas morning for those vultures.

[examining the monument] Look at that thing!

Yeah. His fan club in the Phillippines paid for that!

[to the gravediggers] Be--be careful with that! You wanna be careful with that! [One gravedigger, Chris Downey, turns to Monk]

Chris Downey

What did you say?

I said you might wanna be careful with that.

Chris Downey

Come on, I've been doing this job since I was eighteen years old! I think I know what I'm doing. I don't come down to your station house and, tell you how to beat a confession out of some kid. [Stottlemeyer eyes and appears to recognize Downey]

Do I know you?

Chris Downey

Maybe you do.

You're Chris Downey. [incredulously] They let you out?

Chris Downey

I did my time. Now I'm doing my job, at least I'm trying to. [swallows some pills from a bottle]

[to Monk and Natalie] I busted this low-life for assault and armed robbery.

Chris Downey

Got me on the assault. There was no robbery.

Right. We never recovered the jewels you stole-

Chris Downey

Allegedly stole, allegedly. I love that word.

[as Natalie is leaving] I solved the case! Aren't you interested?

Chris Downey

I'm interested. [Monk looks behind just in time to see Chris Downey swing a shovel at his head. Cuts to Downey heaping dirt onto a buried coffin]

[Three police cars intercept Chris Downey's pickup truck as he drives out of the cemetery]

Turn off the motor! Throw your keys out the window! [Downey complies]

[advancing on Downey, his gun drawn] Show me your hands, Downey! Show me your hands! Get out of the car! Get out of the car! [Downey slowly opens his door just as Natalie runs up. Stottlemeyer gets her out of the crossfire]

Natalie, stay back! Stay back! [He forces Downey onto the hood of his truck] Where's Monk?! What did you do with him?

Chris Downey

Relax, Captain. He's still alive, for now.

Where is he? What did you do with him? We can save both of your lives.

Chris Downey

If you wanna find your friend, I want something too: I want a car to the airport. [produces a small bag from his uniform pocket] I'm already packed. I want a jet that can fly 2,000 miles without refuelling. When I'm in the air, I'll tell you, A) Where I'm going, and B) where you can dig up... [stammers] Di-Dig. Y-you can dig. [immediately has a heart attack and collapses to the ground]

Oh my God, I think he's had a heart attack! [They start to perform CPR on him]

He's got no pulse.

Downey! Downey!
