Lieutenant Disher Quote #129
Quote from Lieutenant Disher in Mr. Monk Goes to the Dentist
Captain Stottlemeyer: Excuse me. Can I talk to Mick Jagger for a second?
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, sure. All right, guys, take a break, huh? Oh, it's a really good job so far, though. Really good.
Captain Stottlemeyer: How's it going?
Lieutenant Disher: It's good. It's great. Man, I should have done this years ago.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah, it's pretty exciting. Um, you gotta send me a T-shirt or a hat or something. Or whatever. Um, listen, I thought you might be interested. We caught a break on the armored car thing. We identified the body. Guy's name is Denny Jardeen. He's an ex-cop. He's got a cousin who's done some time who works for a trucking company. So we're gonna go pick him up. I thought you'd like to come along.
Lieutenant Disher: Why? I mean, I'm not a cop anymore, Leland. Captain. Look at my notebook. No more witness statements. Just lyrics and song ideas now.
Captain Stottlemeyer: You're writing songs?
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, I wrote 17 last night. I'm on fire.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I'm sure you are. Uh, I also wanted to apologize about the dentist. It's just that over the years you've had... so many unique theories.
Lieutenant Disher: I wasn't hallucinating.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Randy, I checked Dr. Bloom out myself on my own time. The guy is clean. He's got no priors. He's never been in trouble. I just wanted you to know that I took you seriously. The fact is I miss you, I need you.
Lieutenant Disher: Well, it's too late. I've moved on. I mean, the band's my life now. You're more than welcome to come and have a listen if you want. Come on in, be my guest. Have a seat.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Okay. How you doing?
Lieutenant Disher: I should warn you, you might not like what you hear. It's pretty powerful stuff. You might not be able to handle it.

Quote from Adrian Monk
Captain Stottlemeyer: You and Monk were there, right? Did you notice anything?
Adrian Monk: No, I wasn't really on my game. I have this thing about dentists. Kroger calls it a supermegaphobia. If germs are here and snakes are here, the dentists are... You see that branch up there? The second one from the top? The one above that one.

Quote from Adrian Monk
Natalie: Mr. Monk, this is Randy we're talking about. He would do anything for you.
Adrian Monk: And I would do anything for him except this, Natalie. I can't do it. I have a thing about dentists.
Natalie: You have a thing about everything.
Adrian Monk: That's true, but dentists are in a separate category altogether, okay? I can't even discuss it. I can't even think about discussing it. I can't even talk about thinking about discussing it.
Natalie: Okay, Mr. Monk, everybody's afraid of dentists.
Adrian Monk: Not like this. Not like this.
Natalie: Okay, okay, okay. How afraid are you? On a scale of 1 to 10.
Adrian Monk: Ha, 10? I am so far beyond 10, I laugh at your 10s. I lie awake at night dreaming about 10s. The chair and the probing and the drilling and the rinsing.
