Lieutenant Disher: Captain, I have a thought about the paperboy. [Captain signals for Disher to continue] ...
Captain Stottlemeyer: This means "hurry up."
Lieutenant Disher: It was a burglary. The paperboy interrupted a B-and-E in progress. It fits. There were five break-ins on that block last year alone.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Nope. I looked into that already. All of those break-ins were hot prowls forced entry with a crowbar.
Lieutenant Disher: Right.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Our guy was empty-handed.
Lieutenant Disher: What about a car thief?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, that doesn't explain the taking of the newspapers, does it?
Lieutenant Disher: Right. So we're back to Monk's theory.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I'm afraid so. [motions to the door] ... And this means "We're leaving."
Lieutenant Disher: Right.
