Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man
Adrian Monk: So, what do you think? Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, why ask me? My hippie wife's a better cop than me. Adrian Monk: Don't say that. Captain Stottlemeyer: Look, I don't mind living in your shadow, Monk. You're a freak of nature. Adrian Monk: Thank you. Captain Stottlemeyer: But when Karen sees things that I miss, I might as well just hang it up.
