Captain Stottlemeyer: You know, the commissioner asked me what I thought about bringing you back on a contingency basis. I told him I thought we should try it.
Adrian Monk: Captain...
Captain Stottlemeyer: No, don't say anything. We'll take it one day at a time, okay?
Adrian Monk: [walks off] Excuse me.
[As Monk walks off, Disher stands behind Stottlemeyer on his right]
Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, listen. There's a there's a few things that I should say that I don't. I mean I've been working on a few things myself. Well, you're not perfect, God knows, but you're still probably the best cop I've ever met. And working with you has been one of the great honors of my life. You're the man. And I mean that. [looks to the left for Monk]
Lieutenant Disher: Right back at you, sir. I love you, man.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah, I love you, too.
