Lieutenant Disher Quote #197
Quote from Lieutenant Disher in Mr. Monk Goes to the Hospital
Adrian Monk: Okay, all right, look. Okay, all right, Captain. Captain, listen. I have an idea. Okay, Dr. Scott was hooked up to the heart monitor, right?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah, that's right.
Adrian Monk: What if he took the monitor with him? What if he hooked it up to a battery pack, and he just carried it with him?
Captain Stottlemeyer: The security guard said he never left the room.
Adrian Monk: Out the window. It's only one floor.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Interesting.
Lieutenant Disher: Interesting?
Captain Stottlemeyer: It's worth considering.
Lieutenant Disher: I said the exact same thing a half an hour ago about the old guy, and you shot me down.
Captain Stottlemeyer: You didn't say the same thing. You said something about a spool of cable. 800 feet.
Lieutenant Disher: It was the same basic idea, except for the battery.
Captain Stottlemeyer: The battery is a big part of what Monk is saying.
Lieutenant Disher: No, it's the same thing. What, if I say something, it's a punch line, if he says it, he's a genius?

Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Nurse: It's not possible. Mr. Johansen never left his room. He's been on the heart monitor all night. Here's a cardiogram. No gaps, no interruptions.
Lieutenant Disher: Actually, all we know for sure is that he never took the monitor off. What if he took it with him?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Randy, please.
Lieutenant Disher: No, it's possible. I mean, all he had to do was strap the monitor to his back. And then climb out the window, shimmy down one story, unspooling 600 feet of wire along the way.
Nurse: He's 82 years old.
Lieutenant Disher: He's a veteran. They were the Greatest Generation.
Captain Stottlemeyer: You through?

Adrian Monk: And, Randy, you hit it. Remember?
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Well, let's see it. [Disher starts to unbutton his pants] What are you doing?
Lieutenant Disher: Showing you the bruise.
Adrian Monk: What's he doing?
Captain Stottlemeyer: It's near your ankle. Just pull up your pant leg.
Lieutenant Disher: Well, six of one, right?
Captain Stottlemeyer: It's not six of one. Roll up your pant leg.
Lieutenant Disher: I'm already unbuckled. Okay, fine.
Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Lieutenant Disher: Captain, look at this.
Captain Stottlemeyer: What is that?
Hospital Administrator: That looks like a seal. That could be from one of our oxygen tanks.
Captain Stottlemeyer: "Room 623."
Lieutenant Disher: Room 623. All right, let's go!
Hospital Administrator: Uh, Lieutenant, that's the geriatric ward. If he's a patient up there, he's at least 80 years old.
Lieutenant Disher: Well, then, we better move fast.
