Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and Sharona
Adrian Monk: Are you okay? Captain Stottlemeyer: I'm waiting for the screaming to stop. Adrian Monk: There's no screaming. Captain Stottlemeyer: The screaming inside my head. You were in a closet in his house. He was standing right there. He obviously heard everything. Why didn't you just leave the apartment? Adrian Monk: I tried! I told them to be cool. I actually said, "be cool." Captain Stottlemeyer: Just step outside the house. Talk in the elevator! Sharona: He doesn't take the elevator. Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, we don't have a case because you tipped him off. I just got off the phone with him. It's a brick wall. They're all lawyered up. Sharona: What about his wife? Captain Stottlemeyer: She's not talking either. Sharona: That's 'cause he probably threatened her. Captain Stottlemeyer: If this is a homicide, and I believe you're right, because you always are, we're up against it. We've got nothing! We have no physical evidence!
