Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk Goes to the Circus
Lieutenant Disher: Nikolai Petroff? Nikolai Petroff: Who's asking? Lieutenant Disher: This shiny little piece of metal's asking. Are you Nikolai Petroff? Nikolai Petroff: Are you trying to scare me? Huh? This pussycat weighs a couple hundred pounds. It could rip me apart in a heartbeat. I ain't scared of her. You think I'm scared of you? Captain Stottlemeyer: Excuse me. You may not be scared of the lieutenant, but you've got plenty of reason to be scared of me. 'Cause I got a little cage like that downtown. It's not much bigger than that, actually. It's not a whole lot friendlier. And if you obstruct my investigation, sir, for one moment further, you're gonna spend some time in it.
