Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk Takes a Punch
Captain Stottlemeyer: They're authentic. One was stolen nine years ago from a gallery in Madrid, and two are from a museum in Venice. Adrian Monk: He was worried that somebody would see the artwork on TV and recognize it. But he knew that if Ray Regis were dead, they would never run the ad. Natalie: So he hired that terrible, terrible man. Captain Stottlemeyer: Hey, nice collection, Daniel. Too bad none of it's yours. Lieutenant Disher: You should just kept it all in your basement. Daniel MacGraw: It's fine art, lieutenant.It's meant to be savored. I never imagined my bride would invite a TV crew into my house while I was out of the country. Captain Stottlemeyer: So you didn't tell her it was stolen? Daniel MacGraw: In hindsight, maybe that's something I should have mentioned. Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah. Get him outta here.
