Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Bad Girlfriend
Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, what about the lunatic? The, uh, the client that wrote those letters? Have you even looked at her? Adrian Monk: Captain, this isn't easy for me. Captain Stottlemeyer: Oh, really? What is? You're talking about the woman I love, Monk. Adrian Monk: I know. I know. Captain Stottlemeyer: I think I know what's going on here. You look at me, and you can't stand it. I have what you want. A badge, a woman, a life. Adrian Monk: That's true. But- Captain Stottlemeyer: But nothing! This is not my problem, Monk. This is your problem. You deal with it. Adrian Monk: All right, look. Why don't we- Why don't we talk to a neutral party? We could call the Marin County D.A. Captain Stottlemeyer: [shoves Monk] I am done talking! I am done talking. But I'm gonna do you a favor, Monk. For old time's sake. I'm gonna forget that you said anything. This never happened. Okay? Now, if you'll excuse me, my girlfriend is very upset.
