Monk, Season 5

Monk:
Yes sir, it just came to me last night in a vision. One, we evacuate the city, every man, woman, and child.

Mayor Ray Nicholson:
Evacuate?

Monk:
Two, we burn it down. We just burn it. Scorched earth.

Mayor Ray Nicholson:
Uhh....

Monk:
Then just to be safe, we collect all the ashes and what do we do? We burn the ashes. Three, we bring everybody back and start over. Think of it, we rebuild San Francisco ...from scratch. Start fresh, everything clean. Everything brand new. Gonna have that new city smell. Fresh off the lot, we can even straighten out Lombard Street while we're at it.
