Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Class Reunion
Captain Stottlemeyer: Folks! Excuse me. Could you kill the music? Thank you. Sorry to interrupt your dinner. This will just take a minute. My name's Captain Leland Stottlemeyer. I'm with the San Francisco Police Department. And we're working on a homicide investigation and we could use your help. As you may know, a woman was killed on Friday night. Her name was Katherine Rutherford. She worked as a nurse at the university clinic. Now, we have reason to believe that someone in your class - possibly somebody in this room - might be involved. We're looking for information. If anyone knows anyone who might have had a grudge against Mrs. Rutherford either now or in the past or someone who might be missing their reunion lapel pin... The alumni reunion... [The crowd boos when a photograph of a young Stottlemeyer in uniform at a campus No Nukes protest appears on the slideshow] Captain Stottlemeyer: All right. Hey, hey, hey. Settle down. Settle down, everybody. This is completely out of context. You can't tell the whole story from one photograph. [The next slide shows Stottlemeyer with a protester in a head lock] Captain Stottlemeyer: You didn't have a permit. Man: [o.s.] Yes, we did. Captain Stottlemeyer: It expired at noon. [The next photograph shows Stottlemeyer dragging a protester away while pointing to the clock tower, which shows the time is just after twelve] Man: [o.s.] It's 12:06! Captain Stottlemeyer: Like I said, it expired at noon.
