Monk, Season 4

[Monk sees two police officers conversing at a crime scene.]

Monk:
[to Natalie] They're talking about football. I have that one! Give me the cards.

Natalie:
No, Mr. Monk, you don't need the cards.

Monk:
Give me the cards.

[Natalie hands him the cards. Monk rummages through them.]

Monk:
Let's see, weather, politics, movies, swear words...

Natalie:
Swear words?

Monk:
Here's football.

[He looks at the cards and approaches the officers.]

Monk:
You guys are talking about the football game last night? The San Francisco 49ers lost 27 points to 21 points.

Police Officer #1:
Yes, we know.

Monk:
It was a hell of a fourth quarter, though. It was the turn-overs. They always comeback to haunt you.

Police Officer #2:
Yeah, we were just saying Rattay can't handle the pressure. Why didn't they take him out?

[Monk thinks for a moment and goes back to the cards. He returns to the police officers.]

Monk:
That's true about quarterback Tim Rattay. But don't forget, he won 4 out of the 5 last home games.

Police Officer #2:
But they were in Houston, Monk.

[Long pause.]

Monk:
You guys want to hear some swear words?
