Episode Quotes
 
Disher: It’s a tough racket. I’ve do a little boxing myself. Light Middleweight.
Stottlemeyer: When did you box?
Disher: Remember the benefit for the Police Athlete League? Took Sergeant Mulroney in nine rounds. TKO left uppercut.
Stottlemeyer: Stan Mulroney, he retired 12 years ago. We called him “Pops.”
Disher: Yeah, that’s right. He was older than me. He was experienced. Wiley.
Stottlemeyer: He had a cane.
Disher: And he used it.
 
Natalie: It went good. you know, it’s our first day so we’re just warming up, but he’s going to do great.
Adrian: Nah, I went about 30 yards.
Disher: Did you hit a wall?
Adrian: I wish I had. It would have knocked me unconscious.
 
Louie Flynn: (seeing Monk in his purple tracksuit) He looks like a big, sad plum.
 
Dr. Bell: A half mile in four minutes.
Adrian: That's part of it. It can't be done.
Dr. Bell: People do it every day.
Adrian: Not people my age.
Dr. Bell: That's not true.
Adrian: Not people my age with my body.
 
Dr. Bell: Adrian, we haven’t known each other very long, but I’m a pretty good judge of character. And I know one thing for sure: you’re no quitter.
Adrian: Then how do you explain this? I quit.
 
Stottlemeyer: You’re not going on welfare. If you go on welfare, I will shoot you.
Adrian: Good. I’ll get more money, won’t I?
 
Stottlemeyer: So that’s it, huh? After all these years, you’re just gonna walk away. Give up. What would Trudy say? No, let me rephrase that: what is Trudy saying?
 
Adrian: What is it?
Ray Regis: Don’t ask.
Adrian: Okay, but what is it?
 
Ray Regis: It’s called go juice. Louie invented it 20 years ago. It’s got every juice and herb you can think of, al mixed together. Makes you go. Go go go go go.go go!
Adrian: You’re giving me a laxative?
 
Frankie Marino: You wearing a wire, Lieutenant? (Disher takes off his shirt and drops his pants) How about you?
Stottlemeyer: No.
Frankie Marino: Okay. Let's talk.
Disher: Why did I just get undressed?
Stottlemeyer: I don't know, Randy. Everybody in the room is wondering the same thing.
 
Adrian: Hey, how did I do?
Ray Regis: You finished, that was the main thing. You ran that whole half mile.
Adrian: Yeah, but how long? How long?
Ray Regis: Adrian, it was just a test run. It don’t really count.
Adrian: Because it felt like five minutes, maybe six. Maybe six. Between five and six.
Ray Regis: Well…
Adrian: Twenty-seven minutes! That’s not possible. It’s not… this thing is broken.
Ray Regis: Well, you kept rearranging the hurdles and touching everything. That stuff adds up.
