In the US TV series, Monk is being stared down by a deliveryman who wants more money than the agreed amount.
Monk breaks off to tell his assistant, Natalie, about it.
She says 'Just look him in the eye and say "NO"'.
Monk replies 'I don't think I can. I've never won a stare-down in my life. I'm oh for five.'
That's what it sounded like, and the subtitle (AE closed caption) rendered it I'm 0 for 5.
Does that mean anything to any of you?
