[Monk and Kevin have been to Birch's house and Monk decides he has to get closer]
I have to get closer.
Closer? Yesterday, we were in the front row. You can't get much closer than that.
[cuts to another Treasure Chest show in the process of being taped]
Please welcome to the show Adrian Monk! [Monk feverishly steps out, and uprights a gold goblet before taking his place at his podium] Welcome to the show, Adrian. [Kevin and Dwight are watching the show on the backstage monitors]
Mr. E, you are not going to regret this.
[onstage] -Before we start, is there anybody you would like to say hello to?
Yes.
Who'd that be?
Sharona. She's in New Jersey, visiting her mother.
That's very nice. How long have you and Sharona been married?
No, no, no. Sharona is my nurse. I was married but my wife Trudy was killed by a car bomb. [cuts to backstage]
Did he just say "car bomb"?
[continuing] Which is why I've devoted my life to putting criminals behind bars.
