Monk, Season 5

[Monk is having his eyes checked after being attacked by Eddie Murdoch at the firehouse]

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
So, how's it look, Doc?

Dr. Jackman:
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.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
Which means what, exactly?

Dr. Jackman:
It's hard to say. Sometimes the tissue grows back by itself, and sometimes it doesn't.

Natalie:
[stroking Monk's shoulder] Shhh…it's okay, Mr. Monk. [to Dr. Jackman] He's afraid of the dark.

Dr. Jackman:
Well, he might have to get used to it, at least for a while. Excuse me. [She leaves and Randy steps forward]

Lt. Disher:
Monk?

Monk:
Huh?

Lt. Disher:
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…

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
[sternly] Randy...

Lt. Disher:
So from the 11th to the 13th…

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
Randy! I didn't think this was possible, but you're making this situation worse.
