Archie Modine: That is one hell of a story, Mr. Monk, if you could prove it.
Adrian Monk: He always went the extra mile. That night, your pal Sidney had a little surprise of his own.
Archie Modine: Really?
Adrian Monk: Yes, sir. You see, he'd hired an actor to pose as a cop. So after you scared off the mugger, the cop was going to run up and commend you for your heroism.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Oh, my God.
Lieutenant Disher: Fraidy Cop.
Adrian Monk: I'm afraid so. You see, Captain, I remembered what you'd said that no cop in your department would ever run from the scene of a crime. And it occurred to me, maybe Fraidy Cop wasn't a real cop.
Sharona: I checked all the local costume shops. There was only one cop uniform rented that night.
Adrian Monk: Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet Joseph Moratta. Very promising young actor.
Captain Stottlemeyer: You?
Adrian Monk: Joe wanted me to mention that he can be seen in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Harris Webley Dinner Theater all next week.
