Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Missing Granny
Ron Abrash: Don't you people read the papers? The Brigade is ancient history. We broke up like 25 years ago. Besides, all we cared about was the war. Remember the war? Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah, I remember the war. I had a brother over there. So you're denying any involvement in the kidnapping of Mrs. Parlo? Ron Abrash: Of course I deny it. Demanding free turkey dinners? That's insane. Besides, I'm a vegan. Captain Stottlemeyer: All right, Ronnie. Where were you yesterday at 7:30 in the morning? Ron Abrash: I was in my classroom. I teach graduate level English and screenwriting at Berkeley. Call them. Check it out. The most radical thing I do these days is give the finger to jerks driving SUVs.
