Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Happy Birthday, Mr. Monk
Lieutenant Disher: So, were you surprised? Adrian Monk: Oh, yes. Yes, I was. Captain Stottlemeyer: I cannot believe you got him in that dumpster. Natalie: I know. You guys were great. Where did you get that SUV? Lieutenant Disher: The impound lot. Adrian Monk: Ah, very funny, very funny. With the car chase and the gunshots. Very amusing. And when the guard got shot, that almost looked real. Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, that was real. We had to kill the guard. Lieutenant Disher: We had to make it look authentic. Adrian Monk: What do you mean? Captain Stottlemeyer: [laughs] It was fake blood. Lieutenant Disher: He's right there. Adrian Monk: I knew it.
