Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Foreign Man
Captain Stottlemeyer: You don't happen to have an I don't know, say, evidence? Adrian Monk: He has a record. Drunk driving. And we found some rice on the van. Captain Stottlemeyer: Some rice? Well, doesn't he own a restaurant? Adrian Monk: Yes. Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, it's not exactly a smoking gun, is it? I mean, there's rice all over this town. It's the San Francisco treat. All right, I'll check the guy out. I'm on it. I promise. But you, you need to step back, buddy. OK, I was there 12 years ago. It ate you up. You were crippled. You could not leave your room. I won't allow that to happen again. So promise me that you'll think hard, long and hard before you do anything stupid. Adrian Monk: I promise. Captain Stottlemeyer: Good. Have a good day.
