Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk Paints His Masterpiece
Captain Stottlemeyer: Was your uncle a professional painter? Wendy Larson: No, it was just a hobby. He took it up late in life just a few years ago. Captain Stottlemeyer: Was he any good? Wendy Larson: I didn't think so, to be honest. But he did sell a lot of his paintings to a collector from Russia. Captain Stottlemeyer: From Russia? Do you remember his name? Wendy Larson: I never met him. But I think he bought all of them. Except for the last one. The one uncle Scott was working on when he died. Lieutenant Disher: That's the one you put out by the curb? Captain Stottlemeyer: Is this your uncle? Wendy Larson: Yeah. Captain Stottlemeyer: What does he have to do with Carson Paper? Wendy Larson: He worked there for 30 years. Lieutenant Disher: What's Carson Paper? Captain Stottlemeyer: Carson Paper has a contract with the US Treasury. They make money. Or at least the paper it's printed on.
