Uniformed Cop: Captain, Monk says I can't just throw this away. I gotta take it, like, a mile away and bury it.
Marty Eels: Could I see that?
Uniform Cop: Yeah.
Marty Eels: You can't throw this away. This, this is evidence. [sniffs] This is fresh. Mmm, I'd say this is less than ninety-minutes old.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Marty.
Marty Eels: But isn't that when you said all this was probably going down? The dog could've belonged to the victim or to one of the perps. I think this is important. Monk was gonna throw this away.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Um. You know, he might be right. Let's, um, book that into evidence.
Uniform Cop: Yes, sir.
