Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Missing Granny
Julie: She's 76 years old, she's not rich, she doesn't have an enemy in the world, and she's out there somewhere right now scared to death. Captain, you've gotta do something. What about, um, that detective I was reading about? Uh, the... The monk? Captain Stottlemeyer: Monk. His name is Monk. Julie: Yeah, I read an article about him. Um, they quoted you. You said he was brilliant. Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah, um, Adrian Monk is a former homicide detective who we use on a consulting basis from time to time once we've hit a wall. But we haven't hit a wall, Miss Parlo. Everything is under control. Lieutenant Disher: [sneezes] Sorry.
