Lieutenant Disher Quote #243
Quote from Lieutenant Disher in Mr. Monk Joins a Cult
Brother Ted: Father hasn't left the ranch in three weeks.
Lieutenant Disher: How do you know that?
Brother Ted: He never leaves for harvest season.
Lieutenant Disher: Really, never? What if he gets sick, and he has to go to the hospital?
Brother Ted: Father doesn't get sick. He's never even had a headache. He's going to live forever. He is the eternal one. The nurturing light.
Lieutenant Disher: The nurturing light. What if he got hit by a bus? I bet would put his nurturing light out pretty quick, wouldn't it?
Brother Ted: There are no buses on the ranch.
Lieutenant Disher: What if a bus careens off the highway? You know, smashes through the fence, rolls onto the farm, runs him over?
Brother Ted: he highway is seven miles away.
Lieutenant Disher: What if it careens seven miles?
Brother Ted: It can't careen seven miles.
Lieutenant Disher: Oh, I've seen vehicles careen a pretty long way.
Brother Ted: Not seven miles.
Lieutenant Disher: It's possible. I once saw a truck lose his breaks on Route 15, near Avalon Mountain. It started careening at full speed. [Ted resumes his meditation] Hey! Hey, you listening to me, Ted? Philipsburg. Careening in Philipsburg. Do you know where Philipsburg is, Ted?

Susan Donovan: Could I have that back, please?
