[Stottlemeyer has shown up at Monk's apartment]
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Listen, Monk. I'm on my way over to the firehouse right now. I need you to come along.
Adrian Monk : What for? I gave the Lieutenant my statement.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Yeah I know, but I just thought that you might see something.
Adrian Monk : Somehow I doubt that.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : You know what I mean. Look, Monk, even in this condition you're still the best detective I know.
Natalie Teeger : Come on. I think it's a great idea.
Adrian Monk : Nah, you don't mean that. You're just trying to cheer me up.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Look, Monk, this isn't only about you. This is a homicide investigation; a fireman was killed.
Adrian Monk : Rusty?
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Rusty. He was a standup guy. He'd been on that engine for 35 years, and I'm gonna nail the son-of-a-bitch that killed him, and you're gonna help me.
Adrian Monk : Leland, I can't! I can't...
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Monk, I'm not asking you.
[pause]
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Natalie, help him up.
[Natalie helps Monk to his feet and leads him out]
Natalie Teeger : Come on, you heard the Captain.
Adrian Monk : All right, I'm coming. Listen, don't expect too much from me; I'm no Mr. Magoo.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Mr. Magoo?
Natalie Teeger : Yeah, Magoo, the famous inventor.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Magoo.

[Monk makes his way around the firehouse, as cops and firemen watch and wait]
Adrian Monk : Now, the table is here.
[He's pointing at the foldout chairs]
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : No, Monk. The table... is here.
[He points Monk's hand at the table]
Adrian Monk : Right. Which puts the pole right there.
[Stottlemeyer redirects his hand]
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Pole's there.
Adrian Monk : I can't do this.
Natalie Teeger : You can do this. Mr. Monk, just concentrate, okay? Just try to picture the room. You can do this, you have an amazing memory!
Adrian Monk : Oh right. I forgot about my amazing memory.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Look, what we can't figure is what the guy was doing here. What was he looking for?
Adrian Monk : I don't know. Is anything missing?
Capt. Stockton : I don't think so. There's nothing here worth taking. No money, nothing. It doesn't make any sense.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Okay, let's do this.
[Stottlemeyer and Natalie get Monk into the chair he was sitting in]
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : You and Rusty were sitting here, you were checking the smoke detectors.
Adrian Monk : Right, and then this man, entered from over there. He walked around the truck slowly, like he was trying not to be noticed.
Lt. Randall Disher : Monk, Lt. RAndy Disher here. I'm speaking to you.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Randy, you don't have to tell the man that you're speaking to him!
Lt. Randall Disher : [looks at his notebook] OK. You know who this is, and that I'm speaking to you, and in your statement, you said that you could hear him, that his shoes were squeaking.
Adrian Monk : That's right.
Lt. Randall Disher : And that he was tall, heavyset, about 6'1", with sandy hair, and wearing a leather jacker.
Adrian Monk : That's right. And then Rusty walked over to him, around the back of the truck. Then I heard this big noise, and I walked around the truck.
[He copies his movements from that day. He feels for the truck]
Adrian Monk : Where is the truck?
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : The truck's been moved, Monk. You're good.
Adrian Monk : And I saw Rusty on the floor, and the man was carrying a shovel in his hands.
Lt. Randall Disher : You said you could smell him, that he'd been drinking.
Adrian Monk : Rum, he smelled like rum!
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : We got that, Randy! Is there anything else? Anything new? Anything you forgot to mention?
Adrian Monk : No, I don't think so.
