Lieutenant Disher Quote #283
Quote from Lieutenant Disher in Mr. Monk Takes a Punch
Lieutenant Disher: Mister Regis, Ray, Machine, do you have any enemies? Or have you received any threats lately?
Ray Regis: Not lately. Five years ago when I lost the title, it seemed like everybody wanted my head.
Captain Stottlemeyer: That was a tough night. I thought you had him in the fifth.
Ray Regis: Yeah. It wasn't my night.
Lieutenant Disher: It's a tough racket. I do a little boxing myself. Light middleweight.
Captain Stottlemeyer: When did you box?
Lieutenant Disher: Remember the benefit for the police athlete league? Took Sergeant Mulroney in nine rounds. TKO. Left uppercut.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Stan Mulroney? He retired 12 years ago. We called him "Pops."
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, that's right. He was older than me. He was experienced. Wiley.
Captain Stottlemeyer: He had a cane.
Lieutenant Disher: And he used it.

Quote from Adrian Monk
Dr. Bell: All right, what would you do? How would you pay the rent?
Adrian Monk: Welfare.
Dr. Bell: Welfare? That's your plan? What about Natalie? She's been depending on you. What would she do?
