[Natalie has found Monk in the park and Monk is trying to do a cartwheel]
You know how I feel? Liberated. I should've confronted that S-O you-know-what years ago! B. I still can't believe I won.
You know, Mr. Monk, I don't think anyone really won anything.
You're right. Except me. I won big-time.
Are you gonna start singing?
You know I almost could. You know what I am gonna do? I'm gonna do a cartwheel. [Calls out] I'm gonna do a cartwheel. You might want to step back. It's my first cartwheel. I'm gonna do it right here. [He puts wipes on the ground] What am I doing? A man's been killed, right? A man's been stabbed to death.
Yeah, that's what I've been saying.
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?
No, Mr. Monk, you're not a ghoul!
What is a ghoul?
I don't know.
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!
What?
Come on, it's a good compromise: cartwheel by proxy. And don't forget to say "Whee" while you're doing it. Gotta say "Whee"- [grabs Natalie by her right arm]
Yeah, no, thank you.
[Monk stops, having been transfixed to a police officer's holstered gun]
Oh no.
What is it? What happened?
Brody. He had a gun.
