Quote from Lieutenant Disher in Mr. Monk and the Wrong Man
Mr. Gelbertson: Michael, Matthew, these men are from the police. Michael: Are they real police? Mr. Gelbertson: Yes, they're gonna take a look around for a few minutes. Michael: Why? Lieutenant Disher: Oh, well, because a long time ago, before I was on the force, something happened in this house. Matthew: Was it scary? Lieutenant Disher: I don't know. I wasn't here. It was before my time.
