Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man
Hiram Hollings: My father was 114. Now, that is old, but it is still too young. Do you understand? Lieutenant Disher: Yes, sir. Hiram Hollings: If you find that bastard, do me one favor. I want five minutes alone with him in the room. Lieutenant Disher: When was the last time you saw your father? Hiram Hollings: Two months. U-Unless you mean, on the TV. Oh, they used him a lot on the TV. He wrote a book! They even put it in a time capsule. Captain Stottlemeyer: Did your father have any enemies? Hiram Hollings: No, not unless you you're talkin' about the phone calls. Lieutenant Disher: Phone calls? Hiram Hollings: Yeah, they started about a few weeks ago. Somebody started callin' my daddy in the middle of the night. At all hours. Lieutenant Disher: What did they say? Hiram Hollings: "You're a dead man. Oh, I'm gonna kill you." Captain Stottlemeyer: Pull the phone records. Hiram Hollings: Oh, I do hope you find that bastard. 114. Now that's old, but it's still too young. You know what I mean? He was still my daddy. And I was still his baby.
