Captain Stottlemeyer Quote #21
Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Billionaire Mugger
Archie Modine: That is one hell of a story, Mr. Monk, if you could prove it.
Adrian Monk: He always went the extra mile. That night, your pal Sidney had a little surprise of his own.
Archie Modine: Really?
Adrian Monk: Yes, sir. You see, he'd hired an actor to pose as a cop. So after you scared off the mugger, the cop was going to run up and commend you for your heroism.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Oh, my God.
Lieutenant Disher: Fraidy Cop.
Adrian Monk: I'm afraid so. You see, Captain, I remembered what you'd said that no cop in your department would ever run from the scene of a crime. And it occurred to me, maybe Fraidy Cop wasn't a real cop.
Sharona: I checked all the local costume shops. There was only one cop uniform rented that night.
Adrian Monk: Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet Joseph Moratta. Very promising young actor.
Captain Stottlemeyer: You?
Adrian Monk: Joe wanted me to mention that he can be seen in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Harris Webley Dinner Theater all next week.

Quote from Sharona
Willis: Look, truth is, I'll be out of a job soon, so if you're looking for a driver, let me know. Hey, is he a good boss?
Sharona: Well, my last paycheck bounced. I can't take a vacation because he can't live without me. And two nights ago, he called me at 4:00 a.m because he saw a cockroach.
Adrian Monk: It was pretty big.
Sharona: Yeah.
Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Captain Stottlemeyer: You just missed the deputy commissioner. Guess what he wanted to talk about? Murder rates sparking? The Sidney Teal investigation? No. All he wanted to know was what we're doing about the runaway cop.
Lieutenant Disher: Fraidy Cop.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Excuse me?
Lieutenant Disher: That's what they're calling him. We, uh, sort of pieced together the route he took. Uh, I don't know. Okay. After the shooting, three people saw him running west towards the park here, and on 19th, here, he flagged down a taxi.
Captain Stottlemeyer: He took a taxi?
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, it gets worse. He, uh, threw up in the backseat. But we did get his blood type from the vomit. The taxi then, uh, dropped him off at a bar upon Geary Street there, where he sat in a booth at the back, apparently drinking bourbon and crying.
Captain Stottlemeyer: He was crying? Oh, dear Lord.
Lieutenant Disher: About midnight, an older woman in a brown station wagon was seen picking him up. Possibly his mother.
Captain Stottlemeyer: He called his mom?
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, that son of a bitch better hope I don't find him first.
