[Monk, Stottlemeyer and Disher are at Winberrie's, questioning a colleague of Callie Esterhaus]
We, uh, found a date book in her apartment. She referred to a man by initial - J. Does that mean anything? [He starts to write something down in his notebook]
Maybe his name began with a J?
Did you just write that down?
I put a question mark after it.
[A few feet away, Natalie is grousing about Hannigan's review of Julie's play]
"A corny-cliche filled performance"?! How can he say that?! It's just not true! [Monk walks over]
I thought you threw that out!
I bought another one!
Natalie, stop torturing yourself! You've become obsessed with this review!
Look who's talking!
That's true. Okay, I get obsessed too, but I can handle it. I've had years of experience.
How can he call her forgettable?! My daughter is not forgettable! [Monk tries to shush Natalie as Stottlemeyer, exasperated, comes over]
Excuse me! I'm sorry to interrupt you, but what homicide case are you working on? Because we're working on the Callie Esterhaus case. Maybe you remember that? Natalie, forget the review!
He broke my little girl's heart! [Snatches the newspaper from her]
Julie's a tough kid!
He called her forgettable!
Well don't just stand here whining about it! Why don't you go yell at what's-his-face, the critic? His office is five blocks up the street! Go on. [Natalie takes off] Sorry about that. She's had a tough day.
Did she know Callie too?
Uh, yeah. She did. [Monk turns when he hears the newspaper vending machine open]
Natalie, what are you- [It's just another man purchasing a newspaper] Where did she go?
