Lieutenant Disher Quote #325
Quote from Lieutenant Disher in Mr. Monk Takes the Stand
Lieutenant Disher: Rudy, what happened? Was it my fault?
Rudy: Your fault?
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, I was your big buddy. I was supposed to look out for you. And I should have said, "Rudy, don't kill anybody."
Rudy: I didn't kill anybody.
Lieutenant Disher: I talked to the DA. I know what you did.
Rudy: Randy, I swear. I messed up. I went in there, I robbed the place, I admit it. I took 30 bucks from the cash register. I grabbed a gold chain from the lady. Then I split. She was alive when I left.
Lieutenant Disher: [reading] 30 bucks from the register. You grabbed a chain? You told the cops that? It's not in here.
Rudy: Guess you guys aren't perfect.
Lieutenant Disher: Look what I found. Our friendship bracelets. Put it on. I remember when we made these. Remember what we said?
Rudy: I remember.
Lieutenant Disher: We promised each other we wouldn't lie to each other. So I'm gonna ask you one time. Did you kill that woman, Rudy?
Rudy: I swear. I didn't do it.
