Quote from Lieutenant Disher in Mr. Monk Goes to the Hospital
Adrian Monk: Okay, all right, look. Okay, all right, Captain. Captain, listen. I have an idea. Okay, Dr. Scott was hooked up to the heart monitor, right? Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah, that's right. Adrian Monk: What if he took the monitor with him? What if he hooked it up to a battery pack, and he just carried it with him? Captain Stottlemeyer: The security guard said he never left the room. Adrian Monk: Out the window. It's only one floor. Captain Stottlemeyer: Interesting. Lieutenant Disher: Interesting? Captain Stottlemeyer: It's worth considering. Lieutenant Disher: I said the exact same thing a half an hour ago about the old guy, and you shot me down. Captain Stottlemeyer: You didn't say the same thing. You said something about a spool of cable. 800 feet. Lieutenant Disher: It was the same basic idea, except for the battery. Captain Stottlemeyer: The battery is a big part of what Monk is saying. Lieutenant Disher: No, it's the same thing. What, if I say something, it's a punch line, if he says it, he's a genius?
