[Monk, Natalie and Julie are stuck in gridlock]
Oh, I hate Christmas.
How can you not like Christmas?
Well, you wouldn't like it either, if you hated it as much as I did.
But it's so joyful!
Don't get me started on joy. When you're older you'll understand. Joy is a trick, a diversion. It doesn't last forever. It breaks your heart every time. [Honks the horn and yells out the window] DAMN JOY!
