Adrian Monk: Here's what happened. You stole five cents from your employer last week. On any other job, no one would miss it. Of course, you work for the U.S. Mint. They were those five double-headed pennies.
Sharona: We did a little research. They're worth $200,000 each.
Adrian Monk: One of their security guards must've followed you. You panicked. You had to get rid of those coins.
Sharona: You needed to hide them for a day or two, but where?
Adrian Monk: The gumball machine. It was perfect. You figured you'd come back when the coast was clear and pick them up.
Sharona: But you had no idea that the barbershop was a front for the mob.
Adrian Monk: You found out, though. The next day, when you tried to steal the machine. So was it the barber that tried to stop you? Or maybe it was a customer.
Sharona: Whoever it was, they had a gun.
Adrian Monk: That you somehow managed to grab, and then all hell broke loose.
Sharona: All for five pennies. That's a penny for every person you killed.
Adrian Monk: Then you said you witnessed the attack so that you could steer everyone, me, the cops, the Lucarelli family toward that gang in Chinatown.
Phil Bedard: I didn't want to hurt anyone. Those idiots pulled out their guns. It was an accident. Things just got out of hand. Anyway, who's going to miss them? They're gangsters like you said.
Sharona: Well, accident or not, you're going to jail.
Phil Bedard: Oh, yeah?
Sharona: Yeah.
Phil Bedard: How are you going to prove any of this without the pennies?
Adrian Monk: Did you get that, guys?
Phil Bedard: What are you doing?
Adrian Monk: See that van over there? Okay, fellas. You can pick him up now. Hello. Here we go. Watch this. Let's go! Here we go. Now. Excuse me. Just keep an eye on him.
Sharona: Yeah, yeah. Why don't you finish your puzzle?
