Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Genius
Captain Stottlemeyer: Look, you don't seem to understand. This Patrick Kloster thing is a big, bad headline just waiting to happen. Now I know that you're upset. I know that this case is very important to you. But we need real hard evidence. Maybe if you found some powder already ground up in a little bottle inside his house. Maybe then. Adrian Monk: In a bottle? Right, we wouldn't even need his fingerprints. We could just say he wore gloves. Captain Stottlemeyer: What'd you say? Adrian Monk: Nothing. Nothing. Captain Stottlemeyer: Can I talk to you for a minute? Come here, I want to show you something. Adrian Monk: What is it? Captain Stottlemeyer: Down the hall there's a sign I think is a little crooked. I want your opinion. Adrian Monk: Crooked. I'll be right back.
