Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized
Lieutenant Disher: You're not gonna believe this. This is weird. Captain Stottlemeyer: Weirder than this? Lieutenant Disher: They just found Sally Larkin in Sonoma County. She's alive. Captain Stottlemeyer: Okay. We gotta go. Thanks, doc. Adrian Monk: I call shotgun! Captain Stottlemeyer: Listen, young feller. Why don't you just stay here with Natalie and draw us a picture? Dr. Bell: Look, actually. If he's not in the way, I would consider bringing him along. Treat him as an adult. Just stick to the normal routine. I think that's the best medicine. Captain Stottlemeyer: Okay, you can come. Adrian Monk: Can I bring Hoppy? Captain Stottlemeyer: Look, Monk, it's a crime scene. You can't bring a frog to a crime scene. [Dr. Bell clears his throat] Okay, Hoppy can come.
