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!

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]

What did you say?

I said you might wanna be careful with that.

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?

Maybe you do.

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

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.

Got me on the assault. There was no robbery.

Right. We never recovered the jewels you stole-

Allegedly stole, allegedly. I love that word.
