Natalie, sit down, we should talk about this. Why in the world would you say to your boss that the two of you should kiss?
As a person who has passed one Jr. college psychology class with a "C", I think I can safely say I know all about Freudian Slips. And my dear, you made a big one. Okay, maybe it's not that bad, but lets look deep within your unconscious...okay that's far enough.
Why dont we talk about what that could mean, Natalie.
Do want to kiss Monk because you love him?
Do you hate him and that would be like the kiss of death?
It's okay, Natalie, take your time. You are the only client we have...
"We should kiss," Was that little outburst by Natalie a Freudian Slip?
If Sigmund Freud (or YOU) were Natalie's physiatrist, would he say that little comment was caused by the unconscious mind acting on repressed feelings, or just an accident?
Maybe Dr. Bell knows...Or maybe you know...Or maybe no one knows...
A Freudian Slip is a verbal mistake that is thought to reveal an unconscious belief, thought, or emotion.

Full Version: Did Natalie have a Freudian Slip?
Boy, it is going to be fun to watch where this thread goes. Not having seen the show I will have to stay on the sidelines.
LOL. Hilarious idea for a thread. I haven't seen this episode yet so I can't speak for this ep, but from the other ones I have seen I get the impression Natalie subconsiously likes Monk without knowing it because she always is trying to walk arm in arm with him, ditched her date in "goes to the hospital" 3 or 4 times for him, and its funny how everytime she says something to Monk like "so I did this guy a favor" and Monk says "what" she always slyly says "you really wanna know?"
lol! I was also wondering the same thing. Why in the world did she say that?!?! 
-chik
-chik
Quite frankly, I thought it was a silly comment...
Oh boy, here we go. I thought it was funny but I didn't think it had any significant meaning for a Natalie/Monk romance. Of course I could be really really wrong.
I'm new, but I think it was a knee jerk reaction, not thinking of who she was in the car with....if I/her were to continue the statement, I think it would have been like, "Let's kiss like they do in all the spy/detective movies....as a cover" (ok way too many words, but you get the gist). After letting the first piece out, she realizes 1 he's her BOSS!!!! and 2 He would probably be the last person to do that, especially just for "effect"
I don't deny, there seems to be some emotional affection toward him....for as much as he frustrates her....but I don't think she's even close to the kissing stage yet....seems like they're just getting to know eachother better, officially as employer employee (though with the check scene(s), that rela was a little topsy turvy
) "officially", and more and more as friends....romance, perhaps later. Now she just wants to figure him out!
Dr Bell, you'd better get out there QUICK!!!!!!

As a person who has devoted far more of his time and energy than he should to the study of Natalie Teeger, let me simply say that you are all reading far too much into the remark.
First, let me say that I have it on good authority that Natalie does not own any Freudian slips, though she does have a lovely Dior knock-off with lace... Um, never mind. And it cost me a restraining order to get that information, mind you!
Secondly, you are missing the obvious. Consider the phrase, "We should kiss!" What two letters are conspicuous by their absence? Yes. Exactly. "O" and "g." O plus g spells me, and that rhymes with P, and that stands for Pool, right here in River City!
Natalie was clearly thinking of *me* when she said, "We should kiss."
Also, play back the scene in slow motion, and notice how her eyelids flutter. You may recall previous threads in which I've mentioned Natalie sending me messages in blink-language (for example, in "Cobra" where she blinks a message to me as the Cobra-geek touches her hand) -- so what is she saying here? 
*blink* *flutter* *left-wink* *stare* *blink*. As you know, this translates, "Oh, my Og, apple of my eye, cranberry of my supersternal notch (you *did* see The English Patient, right?), when will you come to rescue me from my loneliness and desperation?"
So, as I say, you are all reading ENTIRELY too much into this line.

I like your post! Yes, everyone is reading too much into this. Traylor or Natalie, just said what the writer told her to say.
It would sure be interesting if they took Monk and Natalie's relationship to the romantic level.

I agree. That was my thought. Possibly a Freudian slip as well. I had posted this earlier today:
I think the "We should kiss" (and "I didn't mean it") remark by Natalie was one of the best and truest things in the episode. It was a simple, honest, natural thing to say/think. She said it because she was FLUSTERED and SURPRISED by the Genius suddenly showing up. Maybe she was a mite embarrassed to be caught, by the Genius, as they were discussing him and spying on him in the car, next to his home. She and Monk were reading his books in the car because they are trying to nail him for the wife's murder, and then he suddenly appears to see what they were doing. Obviously, if she had more than a split second to think about it, she wouldn't have said that. There could be no rational detective benefit from kissing there; it surely couldn't mislead the Genius in any way. It was humorous. And "Monk" is mostly a dry, human comedy. The writers were also having fun with the audience. Everyone knows that they are teasing us with a likely eventual Natalie-Monk romance, and everyone enjoys it.

If I remember my Girl Scout training in 'Blink Morse Code' Natalie was singing: "call me, don't be afrad, you can call me, call me and I'll be around.....NAT-ALIE" but I could have misinterpreted the phone number.
...but, I didn't catch whether it was a message for Og or his nephew Neat 'foxtrot' Freak....
That was hilarious when she blurted that out, and I wondered why she would have said that as well. Maybe she wanted the Genius to think that she was in the car with her boyfriend or something. I don't think she's in need of a psychiatrist, but it could have just been said to get some of the viewer's hopes up. You never know with these writers! LOL I thought it was kinda cute myself and then she caught herself. I'm gonna have to watch again and see if Adrian's face registered any reaction.

Well, I did not think it had any significant meaning, so I started this topic as kind of a spoof on how over analyzed the Natalie/Monk relationship tends to be. And Freud is just a funny guy… the stuff he came up with will lend hours to or discussion and debating. (Especially after drinking!)

I do believe it was a Freudian slip, but I do not think they really mean something all the time it happens. "Ato Falho", how it's said here, is part of my daily routine!! and most of them are meaningless, only result of extreme excitement or fatigue....
In Natalie's case I think she was trying to justify theirselves stopped by the genius house, and it was kinda automatic response.
And yes, I know the writers will not make M/N get romantic involved this season, but they can build the path for the future relation, can't they?
For this, I say that Monk's reaction was good! He wasn't terrified, nor astonished, nor disgusted by the thought. His reaction was great, he was kinda laughing, his expression was perfect, I have never seen he 'smiling' like that before!
As a shipper, I still have hope!! Sorry, guys, but I will take this scene as another step towards their romantic relation, that will for sure happen in the future!!
they are setting the pavement, dears....

I agree with you. But to be honest, my first reaction was, "Is that all Natalie knows to do in a car?" Remember Leper? I think it was her knee-jerk reaction because it would be "normal" parking behavior.

Thank you for that, Kees. You are my hero.
I remember reading somewhere in a military blink-and-subliminal-body-language-interpretation survival handbook that when a woman follows Natalie's pattern of blinkage while simultaneously saying, "We should kiss. No! I didn't say that. I wasn't thinking. I never said it," it translates directly into: "Neat Freak/ Foxtrot, I only have eyelids for you."

rotflmao, I've never been a hero before. :lol
You can always tell by the blink-body language whether the message is true or not. Looking up before blinking means they are looking for the right answer, looking to the right means they are making up the answer and if they look straight ahead while saying: "We should kiss," it aimed directly at you. Learned that in Girl Scounts too along with subliminal-subtle-body language. That slight leaning forward before backing off was saying, "I didn't mean you Mr. Monk, I was speaking to someone else."

LOL! Okay --
Dr. Bell: Natalie?
Natalie: Just a minute. (Natalie is still holding her cell phone up to her ear) Monkophile, did you get her on conference call? Hello? Oh, good. I really don't know how to-- Thanks. (to Dr. Bell) What was the question again?
Dr. Bell: Can you imagine yourself parking with Adrian?
Natalie: (Natalie pauses while she listens to her cell phone) Imagination is a funny thing, isn't it doctor? Haven't you ever imagined yourself as a pro football player -- or a secret agent -- or marrying the queen of a small European country?
Dr. Bell: Well, I..
Natalie: Well, I guess I should say that I have imagined something like it before -- just like I've daydreamed about George Clooney. I think most women with close male friends have probably wondered what their relationship would be like if taken to another level. Is there really such a great divide between friendship love and romance?
Dr. Bell: Then how did you feel when you said it?
Natalie: Embarrassed -- a little. I don't know if Mr. Monk is really ready for something like that, and I was afraid of how he would take it, but I can't really imagine life without him, you know.
Dr. Bell: Do you love him?
Natalie: Absolutely.
Dr. Bell: Are you in love with him?
Natalie: I don't know -- there are all these voices in my head -- they keep saying I don't, but I don't know.
Dr. Bell: Voices?
Natalie: Men's voices -- I'm almost detecting a Jersey accent. They say that I don't love him -- that they want to keep Monk miserable. They say it will never happen. But then it's almost like these same voices are edging me on to say things and do things that betray a stronger feeling for Mr. Monk.
Dr. Bell: So the men in your head who are saying that this will never happen are the same ones responsible for doing things that make people think you are in love with Adrian?
Natalie: Yes! That's exactly it -- is this bad? Do I have a serious problem?
Dr. Bell: (smiling encouragingly) No, Natalie -- you're fine. But I would like to have a talk with these voices of yours...
Bravo BFlo....Encore!!!!

No! I didn't say that. I wasn't thinking. I never said it," it translates directly into: "Neat Freak/ Foxtrot, I only have eyelids for you."
Don't be sad, Uncle Og. Here, have a truffle.
Well, when you do it that way, you have to use Fibonucci math, where you don't carry, unless you get carried away. In that case, "eyelids" becomes, ah, frygrids. Yes, "Frygrids." Which is an ancient Norse word, meaning, "place where the dancers skin polar bears," but in this context, it would mean AAA batteries.
So, I'm sorry, Neat, all she has for you are batteries. She only has restraining orders for me.
but one day she may... say, tasty truffle... What's in thi....................................................

Dr. Bell: Do you love him?
Natalie: Absolutely.
Dr. Bell: Are you in love with him?
Natalie: I don't know -- there are all these voices in my head -- they keep saying I don't, but I don't know.
Dr. Bell: Voices?
Natalie: Men's voices -- I'm almost detecting a Jersey accent. They say that I don't love him -- that they want to keep Monk miserable. They say it will never happen. But then it's almost like these same voices are edging me on to say things and do things that betray a stronger feeling for Mr. Monk.
Dr. Bell: So the men in your head who are saying that this will never happen are the same ones responsible for doing things that make people think you are in love with Adrian?
Natalie: Yes! That's exactly it -- is this bad? Do I have a serious problem?
Dr. Bell: (smiling encouragingly) No, Natalie -- you're fine. But I would like to have a talk with these voices of yours...

Great job, B-gal. I think M. has the last word!
I did not get my regular Monk fix on USA today. However, I still have much for which to be thankful. Gracias, monkophile1 and BfloGal! You had me doing some much needed LOLing out loud. Your Natalie/Dr. Bell sketch was fantastic.
Also, thanks, goodbyegirl, for fulfilling my "jones" for Monk trivia. (Of course, I'm referring to Mr. Monk Goes to Prison.)

I'm sure no one wants to hear what I think about a Freudian slip, but a 'true' slip might've been something like, "Oh, no, Mr. Monk. We need to do something or he'll know we're on a make out!" (Get it, Make out instead of stake out?) Anyway, I thought the scene was cute. No one's quoting, however, the second line, which is pretty much said in the same breath...Maybe the shipper glasses made it clearer, tho.

There was a second line??
Shipper earbuds didn't pick 'em up?
Natalie said, and I quote: "NO! I didn't say that. I wasn't thinking. I never said that." End. quote.

Nope, but my anti-shipper post filter seems to be working perfectly...
I wish my earbuds worked that well...

Oh, this isn't fighting. Fighting involves a wrestling ring and some chocolatly jello product, and a grudge. This ain't nothin' to do w' that.
If the first line was a freudian slip, or the truth from the subconscious, then the second line has to be the superego´s effort to suppress, what the subconscious is trying to reveal...
Very good session with dr Bell, M1 and B-gal! Very entertaining.

That's if your into Freud. What if you are Jungian? 
The question concerns Freudian Slip. I could think about Jung, no problem, but now it is veeery late for me and I cant think anything any more... some other time...
Good night!

Ultimate Cage Match, or fru fru dessert? That may depend on how "Mr. Monk Falls In Love" turns out.

That's even worse. You have to affirm the acceptability of the patient's behavior by kissing Monk.

When I was a Jung man, I was always a-Freud that something like this might slip out... Did you ever have a dream where your "id" didn't have its ID? Or where your ego was feeling humble, and your super-ego was feeling super-humble?
