[Monk's game enters the second round]

Roddy Lankman

Welcome back to Treasure Chest. My name is Roddy Lankman, and our reigning champ, Val Birch, is in the lead again with $3,000. In second place, Susan with $0, and Adrian, you're at -$1,000.

Adrian Monk

Well Roddy, I think my luck is about to change.

Roddy Lankman

Well there's only one way to find out: let's do Round 2 and dig for treasure. For $4,000, the bone that connects your knee to your ankle is the A) fibula, B) tibula- [Monk buzzes in]

Adrian Monk

B, Tibula.

Roddy Lankman

Uh, that is correct! [Applause is heard offstage; Birch scorches a glare at Monk] Next question: how many square yards in an acre? [Birch immediately buzzes in]

Val Birch

It's C.

Roddy Lankman

Uh, C is correct. It's 4,840 square yards.

Val Birch

Lucky guess.

Roddy Lankman

Lucky guess indeed. For $5,000- [Monk buzzes in]

Roddy Lankman

Uh, D is correct. Another lucky guess. For $5,500, President McKinley was assassinated in-[Monk presses his buzzer several times]

Adrian Monk

D-D-D-D. The answer is D, Roddy ["D" being "1901"].

Roddy Lankman

D is correct. The next question, who-[Monk buzzes in insistently]

Adrian Monk

B-B-B-B-B-B!

Roddy Lankman

"B" is correct, it's Jackson Brown. [Susan collapses on her podium] Susan, are you okay?

Susan

I-I just-it looked so much easier when I was watching at home!

Roddy Lankman

Yes it always looks easier at home. For $6,000- [Susan buzzes in]

Susan

C!

Roddy Lankman

No, C is not right. [Monk buzzes in]

Roddy Lankman

'A' is correct, "the wombat". And the last question for $6,000, what element-[Monk rings in]

Roddy Lankman

D is correct. And that's the end of Round 2, a couple of really intelligent gentlemen here. Uh, that means Adrian Monk is the winner of Round 2! Val Birch, you're gonna have to sit this one out this time. [Tanya hands Roddy the first bonus round question] Adrian, you understand what happens in Round 2: you answer these five questions correctly, you not only win this game, but you win this great big pot of gold. [gestures to the table with the treasure chests] You know how we play our game, you have five questions. Let's see how you do. [reads from the first card] Adrian, who was the first president to win a Nobel Peace Prize? [SPOILER: the answer is Theodore Roosevelt]

Adrian Monk

Roddy, I understand I can phone a friend.

Roddy Lankman

[scoffs] You wanna phone a friend on the first question? Well, you're the boss. Tanya, let's bring him the phone. [Tanya grabs a treasure chest with the phone while Roddy addresses his viewers] For those of you just joining us for the first time, Adrian is going to call a friend to see if he can get some help on this very important bonus round question. [Tanya hands Monk the phone] All right, who would you like to call?

Adrian Monk

Well, Roddy, I would like to call him. [points to Val Birch]

Val Birch

Me? You want to call me? I don't think I'm at home! [laughs]

Roddy Lankman

Mr. Monk, what are you doing?

[up in the producer's booth, Kevin turns to Dwight]

Kevin Dorfman

Do you know what he's doing? Because I don't know what he's doing.

Adrian Monk

[onstage] I'm trying to prove that you are guilty of murder, Mr. Lankman, or at the very least, manslaughter. Lizzie Talvo, your personal assistant, discovered that you were cheating on the show. [Monk ignores the gasps of the horrified audience]

Roddy Lankman

Uh, can we go to a commercial break? [Dwight immediately turns to his associates]

Dwight Ellison

You do and you're fired.
