Quote from Lieutenant Disher in Mr. Monk Meets the Godfather
Adrian Monk: What's this? Lieutenant Disher: From the gumball machine. The killers must have ripped it out. [picks up a gumball and eats it] Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah, they used it to break the window in the back. That was their only way of escape, because there were two uniforms out front. Randy. Lieutenant Disher: Hmm? Right. Sorry. Evidence. Captain Stottlemeyer: Yes, it's evidence. It's also been on the ground. Sharona: Yeah, you're dangerous.
