The X-Files, Season 7

LA County Sheriff's Deputy Keith Wetzel:
[Riding along with COPS cameraman] I don't know what it is about a full moon - It's just, something about it. People just go off the wall. I mean these are some pretty scary neighborhoods to begin with - I haven't been on the job that long myself, but, I've seen more than my fair share of crazy stuff. When the moon is full - It's just, like, times ten... I don't know, uh.. I don't know - Maybe it's the tides of something.. But irregardless - we're on the job, and if that makes people breathe a little easier knowing we're out there, or, be a little less nervous walking the streets at night, well, that's a good feeling.

[Computer beeps, receiving info about call - Wetzel types in and checks]

Deputy Wetzel:
Ok, we got a report of somebody lurking around the neighborhood making noise.. Actually, I take that back (looks at monitor) - We got a report of a.. "monster".. lurking around the neighborhood? Wha-? (turns to camera) ..Hey, it's a full moon.
