"Adrian, you've had tough cases before." "You usually don't get this rattled." "What's going on with you and Sharona?" "She's still not talking to me." "She says I don't get it." "I think maybe she's right." "What don't I get?" "I don't understand." "I can't tell you that." "You mean, you know, but you won't tell me?" "Adrian, you're gonna have to figure this one out for yourself." "I'm sorry." "I want to make sure I understand this." "I have a problem." "You know the answer." "That's right." "I'm paying you." "That's right." "But you won't tell me." "That's right." "Adrian, the answer is inside you." "No, Doctor." "The answer is inside you."

"The odds of an elephant doing that." "What?" "It wasn't an accident." "NATASIA:" "Energy!" "PhiIIipe, you're dragging your feet." "Point your toes." "NATASIA:" "Let's do it again." "CAPTAIN:" "Excuse me." "Natasia Lovara?" "I need to ask you one or two questions." "If this is about my ex-husband, you're wasting your time." "This isn't only about Sergei." "You're also the suspect in the murder of Edgar Heinz, the elephant trainer." "[Laughs] Don't be ridiculous." "NATASIA:" "That was an accident." "Tragic." "MONK:" "No." "It was homicide, premeditated, and we have the murder weapon right here." "Lieutenant!" "[elephant trumpeting]" "MONK:" "You waited for Mr. Heinz to put his head under Dede's foot." "And then you gave the command for the elephant to stomp." "MONK:" "She is weII-trained, weighs over 4 tons." "A perfect killing machine." "Adrian." "I got to go." "Just tell me what happened." "tell me what...." "But I was nowhere near the pen when it happened." "That's true." "You weren't there." "You gave the command from across the midway over a waIkie-taIkie." "Oh." "Lieutenant, could you check behind the elephant's ear?" "Got it." "careful with that, Randy." "We need the prints." "Why kill Edgar Heinz?" "well, you had no choice." "He knew that you had murdered your ex-husband that Monday night." "Mr. Monk, you are demented." "nevertheless, you did it." "Excuse me." "I'm summing up the case here." "The killer ran away." "My foot is broken." "You saw the x-ray." "AII week I've been asking the wrong question." "I've been asking if your foot was broken." "I should have been asking "when your foot was broken."" "[lightly suspenseful instrumental music]" "MONK:" "It's true." "You fell during a show two weeks ago." "But it wasn't an accident." "You said it yourself." "The first thing you learn is how to fall." "I'm guessing it was one of the best performances of your life, Natasia." "MONK:" "Your fear of hospitals came in quite handy." "There was no x-ray." "MONK:" "Everyone just accepted the fact that your foot was broken." "What is your problem?" "Hey, clown, take a walk." "MONK:" "The night of the murder, you slipped out of your cast... and followed your ex-husband and his girlfriend." "You waited until they were in a crowded restaurant." "You needed witnesses to see you running." "That was the key to your plan." "[Gunshot]" "MONK:" "I wasn't there, but I heard you were dazzling." "You really are the Queen of the Sky." "[Sighs]" "An interesting theory, Mr. Monk." "Perhaps you'd Iike to x-ray my foot again." "No need for that." "I'm quite sure it really is broken." "NATASIA:" "Good." "CAPTAIN:" "Now." "You knew you'd be a suspect, and you knew that we'd want an x-ray." "It's not an easy thing to do, breaking your own foot." "[suspenseful instrumental music]" "[Trumpeting]" "After the murder, you came back here." "It was late." "Everyone was sleeping." "[Commanding in a foreign language]" "[Bones cracking]" "MONK:" "Everyone except Dede's trainer." "His trailer was right there." "He probably woke up and looked outside." "[suspenseful instrumental music]" "Can't somebody do something about this clown?" "I'm a police officer." "Knock it off." "Go ahead." "Like ToIstoy, you know how to tell a clever story." "But you need proof." "The elephant isn't talking." "Anyone could have put that radio thing in her ear." "Randy, take that down to the laboratory straightaway." "MONK:" "I don't think they'II find any prints." "She's too smart." "MONK:" "I'm sure she wiped it down." "Then again, that walkie looks brand-new." "Which means she had to put batteries in it." "You did remember to wipe your prints off the batteries, didn't you, Natasia?" "[clown mocking]" "AII right." "That's it, freak!" "You're under arrest." "CLOWN:" "For what?" "CAPTAIN:" "For impersonating an officer!" "[Monk groans]" "Get her!" "[Engine roaring]" "[Fast-paced tense instrumental music]" "Oh, my God!" "[Trumpeting loudly]" "Don't move!" "Go, go!" "[Speaking foreign language]" "Are you all right?" "You must have been so frightened." "See, I'm empathising with you." "I'm putting myself in your shoes." "will you shut up?" "Now that's you getting annoyed at me... because I won't shut up." "That's me being compassionate and sensitive." "I feel your pain." "Oh, God." "I'm feeling your pain." "I've created a monster." "I hear that." "I'm hearing what you're saying." "BENJY:" "See, Mum?" "I told you she was friendly." "How do you feel?" "Good." "I think I'm over it." "Maybe there's hope for you." "SHARONA:" "What's wrong?" "MONK:" "I think I stepped in something." "SHARONA:" "Where?" "MONK:" "It's right here." "SHARONA:" "I don't see anything." "MONK:" "I definitely stepped in something." "I have to go home." "SHARONA:" "We just got here." "MONK:" "I want to go home." "SHARONA:" "Just suck it up." "MONK:" "I don't think it's my turn to suck it up." "It's yours." "BENJY:" "Why don't you both do it?" "SHARONA:" "Do you kiss your mum with that mouth?" "BENJY:" "No." "SHARONA:" "You should." "Come here." "[Sharona giggles]" "BENJY:" "I Iove you, Mum." "SHARONA:" "I Iove you, too." "[Theme music]"
