Episode Quotes

Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: Okay, we have a victim found in Colin Park. He was shot once and then burned.
Adrian Monk: I read the file, so where are we?
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: Still unidentified. Randy, what do we know about him?
Lt. Randall Disher: Well, we know he was... flammable. That's pretty much it.

Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: Um, there's something else. I guess this is as good a time as any. Uh, you and I... we go way back. Probably some 20-odd... or even... mostly odd years.

Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: Yeah, I'm asking you to be my best man.
Adrian Monk: Really? Wow! I'm... I'm... what am I? I'm surprised. I'm flattered. I'm slightly apprehensive. And I'm anxious, which... I'm always anxious. So that doesn't really...
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: Is that a yes?
Adrian Monk: Yes.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (factual errors): Towards the end of the episode when Stephanie fires the pistol in the air the slide stays open but Leeland has the magazine in the tuxedo bag. The slide would only stay open if there were an empty magazine in the pistol.

Trivia

The gag during the bachelor party when one of the cops mentions to Monk that there is a bathroom in his bathroom (a port-a-john inside the bathroom) is a spoof of a story on 'The Onion' about a Starbucks opening inside the restroom of an existing Starbucks (which itself satirizes a common fact that one can find Starbucks shops practically next door to each other in major cities).
