Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk Gets Fired
Commissioner Brooks: What were you just talking about? Lieutenant Disher: Uh, the, uh, fire up on 24th street, sir. Commissioner Brooks: Oh, you mean this fire? Lieutenant Disher: Yes, sir. Commissioner Brooks: You mean this story? Because I thought you might be working on this case. "Body headless, police clueless." What page is this on? Captain Stottlemeyer: That's the front page. Commissioner Brooks: That's right. Front page, page 22. Very important, not important. Press are all over us, nobody cares. What case do you think we should concentrate on, captain? Captain Stottlemeyer: The torso case. Commissioner Brooks: Good choice. And in case you forget, you can always rewind your tape and play it back.
