Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect
Agent Grooms: Who the hell is that? Marion the Librarian? Captain Stottlemeyer: It's Adrian Monk. He's consulting with us. Agent Grooms: But he's not consulting with us. Captain Stottlemeyer: Agent Grooms, you said you'd keep us local bumpkins in the loop. Give my man a couple of minutes, okay?
