Adrian Monk: Is Jimmy Belmont here?
Sheriff Butterfield: Why?
Adrian Monk: Just curious.
Sheriff Butterfield: He never comes to these things.
Adrian Monk: Wasn't he here a month ago?
Sheriff Butterfield: You're right, he was.
Adrian Monk: Did anybody else besides Belmont hear the shot?
Sheriff Butterfield: No. That is pretty odd, now that you mention it.
