Monk, Season 3

[Monk and Kevin have been to Birch's house and Monk decides he has to get closer]

Monk:
I have to get closer.

Kevin Dorfman:
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]

Roddy Lankman:
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]

Kevin Dorfman:
Mr. E, you are not going to regret this.

Roddy Lankman:
[onstage] -Before we start, is there anybody you would like to say hello to?

Monk:
Yes.

Roddy Lankman:
Who'd that be?

Monk:
Sharona. She's in New Jersey, visiting her mother.

Roddy Lankman:
That's very nice. How long have you and Sharona been married?

Monk:
No, no, no. Sharona is my nurse. I was married but my wife Trudy was killed by a car bomb. [cuts to backstage]

Stagehand:
Did he just say "car bomb"?

Monk:
[continuing] Which is why I've devoted my life to putting criminals behind bars.
