[Monk can't concentrate due to a fresh dog mess]

Mr. Monk, are you okay? Everybody's waiting.

Adrian Monk

It's over there.

Adrian Monk

Dog... you know. Dog... doo.

Did you step in it?

Adrian Monk

[looks at Natalie like she's crazy] If I stepped in it, I'd be in that ambulance right now, on my way to the emergency room, wouldn't I?! Praying for the sweet release that only death can bring!

[Marty has found Harold Gumbal's body by using a tree branch and a dowsing rod]

He was trying to tell us the name of the man who killed him. Look. [points using his tree branch] He's pointing to his watch.

Adrian Monk

No. He's not, Captain.

Are there any perps who'd do a job like this by the name of--Casio?

Lefty? [thinks] Dial?

Eddie Dial? He just did seven years in Fulsom Prison for kidnapping and bank robbery; he just made parole.

Well let's check him out.

MGMary Gilstrap

I have to have a Neptune bar every night or else I can't sleep. Funny, isn't it? I guess we all have our little quirks.

Adrian Monk

[nonchanantly] Yes, I suppose we do...

[Natalie's cell phone rings while she is talking to Julio Alvarez's boss]

Adrian Monk

Natalie, it's me, Adrian Monk.

Yes, Mr. Monk, we were just talking about you.

Adrian Monk

Natalie, you have to come back here.

I can't right now, Mr. Monk, I'm at the pizzeria talking to the manager.

Adrian Monk

It's Ebola.

Excuse me?

Adrian Monk

I think I have the Ebola virus.

No, Mr. Monk, you do not have the Ebola virus.

Adrian Monk

I'm pretty sure I do, I have all the symptoms, I have the headache, the fever, the massive internal bleeding.

You have massive internal bleeding?

Adrian Monk

Yes, I believe I do, that is my opinion.

[Monk sees two police officers conversing at a crime scene.]

Monk

[to Natalie] They're talking about football. I have that one! Give me the cards.

No, Mr. Monk, you don't need the cards.

Monk

Give me the cards.

[Natalie hands him the cards. Monk rummages through them.]

Monk

Let's see, weather, politics, movies, swear words...

Swear words?

Monk

Here's football.

[He looks at the cards and approaches the officers.]

Monk

You guys are talking about the football game last night? The San Francisco 49ers lost 27 points to 21 points.

P1Police Officer #1

Yes, we know.

Monk

It was a hell of a fourth quarter, though. It was the turn-overs. They always comeback to haunt you.

P2Police Officer #2

Yeah, we were just saying Rattay can't handle the pressure. Why didn't they take him out?

[Monk thinks for a moment and goes back to the cards. He returns to the police officers.]

Monk

That's true about quarterback Tim Rattay. But don't forget, he won 4 out of the 5 last home games.

P2Police Officer #2

But they were in Houston, Monk.

[Long pause.]

Monk

You guys want to hear some swear words?

[Monk tries to apologize once more to Sylvia Willis about the events of the previous year]

SWSylvia Willis

We had a mystery weekend [last year], and we hired some actors who were going to act out a little murder.

Adrian Monk

I'm really, really sorry.

SWSylvia Willis

It was supposed to be for three days, and everybody paid in advance for three days. And Adrian solved the case in, what was it, twelve minutes?

Adrian Monk

I knew that the general's daughter was lying about meeting Churchill because Churchill wasn't knighted until 1953, which meant that Reginald, the limping chauffeur who supplied her alibi, was also lying, so obviously they were lovers who were planning to kill the Sultan.

SWSylvia Willis

Anyway, we had to refund everybody's money, but we learned our lesson: no more mysteries when Adrian Monk is in town.

[observing women standing in a barrel, crushing grapes]

WEWine Expert

Wine stomping. It's a tradition that goes back thousands of years to the Greeks. We're one of the last wineries in California that at least makes some of their wines using this method.

Adrian Monk

Oh my God! People actually drink that?!

Yeah, I think so.

Adrian Monk

Are they insane?! Ask her if they're insane!

[Monk is horrified, having found out how his favorite Cabernet is made]

Adrian Monk

I've been drinking that wine for fifteen years! It's foot wine! I can taste it!

Oh, come on, you cannot taste it!

Adrian Monk

I... I... I... can. I can taste the feet now. And the toes. And what's between the toes.

ANAl Nicoletto

And the fungus. It really is barbaric.

Okay, I didn't see any fungus! Look, I'm sure they have clean feet, there are probably rules about that stuff! [She trails off as the grape stompers walk past them, stepping barefoot across the muddy ground] Okay, I admit it, that's pretty disgusting.

[Monk is in shock when faced with evidence that his wife Trudy faked her own death.]

Adrian, I'm not going to believe anything until I hear it from you. Is Trudy alive?

Adrian Monk

I don't know. But if it's true, then nothing is true. If this is true, nothing is true.

You know, Mr. Monk, you never told me. What happened in the cemetery? How did you know that woman wasn't really Trudy?

Monk

Well, I went to the grave... and it still hurt. So I knew.
