Monk Quote
[Natalie has found Monk in the park and Monk is trying to do a cartwheel]
Adrian Monk: I'm gonna do a cartwheel. You might want to step back. It's my first cartwheel. [He puts wipes on the ground] What am I doing? A man's been killed, right? A man's been stabbed to death.
Natalie Teeger: Yeah, that's what I've been saying.
Adrian Monk: This is no time for cartwheels. [starts to pick up his wipes] On the other hand, I have been waiting 40 years for this. I mean, this is a moment to savor, it might never happen again. I'm doing the cartwheel. [puts them back on the ground] My God, it's ghoulish. One man dead, another going to jail. Am I a ghoul?
Natalie Teeger: No, Mr. Monk, you're not a ghoul.
Adrian Monk: What is a ghoul?
Natalie Teeger: I don't know.
Adrian Monk: I don't care! The man is my archenemy! One cartwheel, I've gotta do it. [tries again] I can't. Natalie, do the cartwheel.
Natalie Teeger: What?
Adrian Monk: Come on, it's a good compromise: cartwheel by proxy. And don't forget to say "Whee" while you're doing it. [He grabs Natalie by her right arm]
Natalie Teeger: Uh no, thank you.
[Monk stops, having been transfixed to a police officer's holstered gun]
Adrian Monk: Oh no.
Natalie Teeger: Wha-What happened?
Adrian Monk: Brody. He had a gun.
