Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Captain's Marriage
Peter: So we're at her favorite restaurant, okay? And I'm spending like a whole week's paycheck on this one dinner. And then this jerk at the table next to me keeps yapping on his cell phone. I hate those cell phones. You can't have a decent conversation anymore. Dr. Bradley: Did you say your affirmation? Peter: Yes. Yes, I did. Uh huh. Okay, I tried. I really did. I said, please, we're trying to enjoy our dinner. And then his cell phone rang again. And I guess I lost it. I threw a plate. A couple of plates. Captain Stottlemeyer: [cell phone rings] Excuse me. Yeah. Uh-huh. Look, I can't talk right now, Karen. I'll call you later. Dr. Bradley: Leland, would you mind turning that off? Captain Stottlemeyer: I can't. I'm on duty. Peter: So what are you, a cop? Captain Stottlemeyer: That's right. Peter: You think you're better than me because you're a cop? Captain Stottlemeyer: No, Peter, I think I'm better than you on general principle.
