MonkOkay, but I can't pay it all at once.
[Reading] "Her former costar, Steven Dorn, declared 'Christine Rapp is dead to me'."
That is a figure of speech.
"'She's a loudmouth, a liar, and a tramp. Next time I run into her, I hope I'm driving a truck.'"
MonkDid you say that? Why would you say that?
Because she's a loudmouth, a liar, and a tramp.
Can you reach into my pants?
Monk[Long pause] Yes...
[At a laundromat]
MonkOkay, this is how we do our laundry in America. There are your whites.
My whites, excellent.
MonkYour off-whites. Your off-off-whites. There are the primary colors, red, yellow, green, blue, and that’s indigo. Left socks, right socks. I’ve labeled them for you.
But in Nigeria, we just wash all of our socks together.
MonkWell, I don’t like to judge people, but that’s wrong.
So you mean you separate everything? But how much is that going to cost?
Monk$200.
Excuse me, are you using all the machines?
That's right.
But they're empty.
Samuel Waingaya That is the pre-wash cleansing cycle.
The pre-wash what?
The cleansing cycle. If you are going to live here, you should learn some of the customs. [To Monk] Did you see that, with the finger? What does that mean?
MonkThat means "We're number one" and we should hurry.
[At the hotel the morning after Monk and Natalie see the UFO]
Hi, is this the lobby?
It's right over there.
What's going on here, is there a loser convention in town?
Oh, somebody saw a flying saucer.
A flying saucer?
MonkI know.
The image I saw was a clearly Class IV Intergalactic Doomfreighter. Flying saucer? They're coming for the oxygen. [Pulls an oxygen mask out of her trunk and puts it on] Have the negotiations started yet?
Oh, we haven't heard! [To Monk] I'm going to call the repair shop to see if the car is ready.
MonkYeah, dial fast, dial like the wind!
You just walked around rearranging spoons and plates and sweeping up crumbs. Couldn't you have at least tried?
MonkI tried. I smiled. I smiled a lot.
You were wincing!
MonkThat's my smile. That's how I smile.
[Monk has gone to the sheriff's office in Vintonville to report a UFO sighting]
You saw a UFO?
MonkNo. No, I didn't say that.
Oh. So, uh, was it an object?
MonkYes.
Uh, could you identify it?
MonkNo, no.
And it was flying.
MonkYes.
You add that all up, Mr. Monk, you've got yourself a UFO.
[The Sheriff's been shot]
One of us is going to have to go get help. The highway's about 15 miles that way.
MonkAll right, Natalie and I will go.
Mr. Monk, we can't leave him, he's been shot.
Monk' All right. Natalie and I will stay here.
Mr. Monk, he can't walk.
MonkWell, what do you suggest, Natalie? Do you have any ideas at all?
Yeah, you get help, I stay here and take care of the sheriff.
MonkAny ideas at all? Because if you do I'd really like to hear them.
MonkThis coffee is horrible. Tastes like BM.
It's iced tea.
MonkHeat it up.
So, you want tea?
MonkNo, I want warm iced tea!
Monk[Looking at a photo of Frank DePalma']' Oh my God! It's me!
He's your twin!
That's your doppelgänger. They say everyone's got one.
Who says that?
People... and their doppelgängers.
[Monk is run through Frank DePalma's biography by Agent Stone]

Your first arrest?
MonkOctober 27, 1997, assault and battery. I did two and a half years at Joliet, and my cellmate's name was Barry "The Maggot" Franklin. [Stone changes the projector to an image of a man on his cell phone]
Your first contract kill?
MonkNovember 13, 1999, Key West - real estate billionaire Donnie Hernandez. I blew up his yacht; made it look like a fuel leak.
[Lola has learned that "DePalma" has a new girlfriend]
What was her name?
MonkNatalie. Natalie Teegerb. [In the FBI van, everyone turns their eyes on Natalie]
Teegerb?
MonkWith a "B" on the end. It's Canadian. It's French Canadian.
[In the van] Well I guess you have a date, "Miss Teegerb".
[Monk and Natalie enter Stottlemeyer's office]
Captain, do you have a minute? Mr. Monk would like to say something.
Monk[From outside] Sorry.
Mr. Monk, you have to do it in person.
[Monk comes into the room]
MonkI'm sorry.
Show him the card. Go ahead, read it. [Monk pulls the card from his jacket]
Monk"I was 'udderly' wrong." It's a cow. Udders. "I'm sorry if I upset you. Please give me another chance. I would hate for my careless gesture to spoil our fine romance." It's the only one they had.
Thank you, Monk. I realize how hard this must have been for you to have Natalie buy it for you.
Okay, I bought it, but Mr. Monk paid for it. Or he will.
[Monk squeals through clenched teeth when trying to describe Evan Gildea's nude sculpture]
Mr. Monk, are you okay?

MonkI don't think so.
Could you read that back, please?
