Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Badge
Captain Stottlemeyer: Monk, Friday night, the review board and the commissioner met in a private session to talk about you. Adrian Monk: About me? Captain Stottlemeyer: I was there, so was Dr. Bell. And they came to a decision. They don't want to use you as a private consultant anymore. Adrian Monk: I knew it. Captain Stottlemeyer: Wait, no, no, let me finish. Adrian Monk: You're firing me! Captain Stottlemeyer: Nobody said that. Natalie: I don't believe it. Is this because he mopped up the blood stain In that jewelry store? Captain Stottlemeyer: This isn't about that! Natalie: So he made one mistake in eight years, after 120 cases. He can't make one mistake? Captain Stottlemeyer: Let me start over. Adrian Monk: Hey, it's been great! See you. Natalie: Shame on you! Shame on both of you! Lieutenant Disher: Well, that could've gone better.
