Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Astronaut
Lieutenant Disher: Captain. This is, uh, Darrel Cain. Darrel Cain, Captain Leland Stottlemeyer. Natalie Teeger. Adrian Monk. Captain Stottlemeyer: Hi. Lieutenant Disher: Mr. Cain says he was home last week. But he didn't see anything. Adrian Monk: Excuse me. That box is addressed to Joanne Raphelson. Darrell Cain: Yeah. It was on her porch. Well, I'd heard she died. I figured it was up for grabs. Natalie: You can't just take mail from somebody's porch. Darrell Cain: Yeah, you can if it's fruit. Law doesn't apply to fruit because it's perishable. Captain Stottlemeyer: Actually, sir, the law does apply to fruit. [to Disher] Are you eating one? Lieutenant Disher: No. I was just putting that back.
