Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect
Lieutenant Disher: The feds are here? Captain Stottlemeyer: Yes, up the wazoo. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. They're in charge, and they're not shy about saying so. Monk. If you can make me look good here, I would really appreciate it. I'd love to show these bastards up. Wouldn't hurt our careers either.
