Dale Biederbeck: Well, if it isn't "Captain Shtucklmeyer" and his cabana boy. I'm gettin' real popular.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Is this a bad time, Dale?
Dale Biederbeck: You're here to talk to me about the late, not so great Ray Kaspo.
Captain Stottlemeyer: How did you guess?
Dale Biederbeck: Oh, I never guess, Captain. I knew you were coming before you did. Oh. Is that a bagel?
Lieutenant Disher: Mm-hmm. Want some?
Dale Biederbeck: Oh, uh, no, thanks. I can't. I'm on a low-carb diet.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I understand Ray Kaspo owed you some money.
Dale Biederbeck: Twelve hundred dollars. I wouldn't bend down to pick up $1,200. I mean, even if I could.
Captain Stottlemeyer: No, I think you were trying to make an example of him. That would be more your style.
Dale Biederbeck: [laughs] Leland Stottlemeyer is lecturing me about style. The world has gone mad.
Lieutenant Disher: You hired Adrian Monk to find the real killer. Is that right?
Dale Biederbeck: Mm-hmm.
Captain Stottlemeyer: And why would you do that?
Dale Biederbeck: That's between me and Monk.
Lieutenant Disher: Well, we heard it's because you wanted a window. They won't install one until the case is closed.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Is a window that important to you?
Dale Biederbeck: Try living without one.
