[Monk is having his eyes checked after being attacked by Eddie Murdoch at the firehouse]
So, how’s it look, Doc?
Uh, okay. The liquid that hit him was a mixture of detergent and muriatic acid. Both of his corneas have been scarred, and there is nerve damage.
Which means what, exactly?
It’s hard to say. Sometimes the tissue grows back by itself, and sometimes it doesn’t.
[Stroking Monk's shoulder] Shh... it’s okay, Mr. Monk. [To Dr. Jackman] [[[w:Fear of the dark|He’s afraid of the dark]].
Well, he might have to get used to it, at least for a while. Excuse me. [She leaves and Randy steps forward]
Monk?
Huh?
It’s Randy! I’m speaking to you. I’m standing right in front of you. [Randy waves his hand in front of Monk’s face and squats] Now I’m squatting. I’m about eye-level. I just want you to know that we’re gonna find the man who did this to you. I’m gonna work on this case 24/7. I don’t care how long it takes. Except for May 11th. Uh, my niece is getting confirmed, and there’s a reception the night before, so I’m probably gonna need... [Turns to Stottlemeyer] I’m probably gonna need that whole weekend off, actually…
[Sternly] Randy...
So from the 11th to the 13th...
Randy! I didn’t think this was possible, but you’re making this situation worse.
