Monk, Natalie and others in “Mr. Monk and the Garbage Strike”

Monk

Ugh, Natalie. What am I gonna do? The whole city reeks.

Natalie

I'm starting to get used to it.

Monk

You are? Really? Then you're gonna love Hell.

Monk

Listen. Listen. It's a truck. That sounds like a garbage truck, right?

Natalie

Mr. Monk, it's not a garbage truck.

Monk

They've settled the strike. It's all over! T-turn on the news. Uh. False alarm. It's a...bus.

[On TV] All we want-- All we've ever wanted is a fair contract for ourselves and for our families. This union is willing to stay out for as long as it takes. Two weeks! Two months! We will never back down! We will never surrender! It's all his fault.

Monk

[Mocking] Jimmy Cusack. Hate that guy. Wish he was dead.

Natalie

Don't say that.

Monk

I do. I wish he was dead.

Natalie

What if something happened to him? You'd feel terrible.

Monk

No, I wouldn't.

Natalie

Yeah, you would.

Monk

No. I wouldn't.

Natalie

Yeah, you would.
