Episode Quotes
Kevin Dorfman: You are really the Great Torini. And I haven't even met the other Torinis. I don't even know if they're halfway decent Torinis.

Kevin Dorfman: Thank you, Mr. Torini. You won't regret this.
The Great Torini: Okay.
Kevin Dorfman: Well, you might regret it a little bit. But you won't regret it that much.

Natalie: What did you think?
Adrian: Give me a minute. I'm still absorbing it.
Natalie: You know, I didn't think it was that bad.
Adrian: Natalie... there are three dead doves on that stage.

(about Kevin Dorfman)
Adrian: That's a nice picture.
Natalie: I took that picture.
Adrian: Oh.
Natalie: Took me two hours. I wanted to get one where he wasn't talking.
Adrian: Ha, well, you did it.
Natalie: Actually, I had to Photoshop it.

(about Kevin)
Adrian: The man would not shut up. One time... he had a sore throat. He talked for 2-1/2 hours about how much it hurt him to talk.

The Great Torini: It's kind of perfect, right. I---I wanted a stranger and there's really no one stranger than Adrian Monk.

The Great Torini: So... if you want to talk to me again, call my lawyer. He's a better magician than I am.
