Monk, Season 1

[Deputy Mayor Sheldon Burger comes in]

Lt. Disher:
Incoming, deputy mayor.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
Oh, Sheldon Burger, who let you off your leash?

Sheldon Burger I just came from the hospital. Bodyguard didn't make it. Mayor's on his way back from Sacramento. Look, I don't have to tell you, Captain. We're on a bus to hell.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
I understand.

Sheldon Burger:
If we don't slam dunk this, it's gonna look like we're not trying.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
I'm not an idiot, Sheldon! I've got every available man on the case.

Sheldon Burger:
No, you don't. Mayor wants you to bring in... your old friend.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
[in disbelief] Monk?
