Monk, Season 1

[Stottlemeyer and Disher are in Stottlemeyer's office]

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
Hey, Randy, did I ever tell you about Monk's first day as a detective?

Lt. Disher:
No, sir.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
Take a seat. [Randy does] He didn't have a partner, so I got stuck with him.

Lt. Disher:
Was he, uh...? [motions to his head]

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
No, no. He was... a little wound. He used to clean the windshield and rearrange the glovebox before we'd roll. Anyway, we're the primaries on a body at a hotel in the Castro. A hooker had swallowed a bunch of promazine - you know, the big sleeping pills?

Lt. Disher:
Horse tranquilizers, sir.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
I said suicide. Every cop on the scene said suicide. Medical examiner said suicide. Monk walks in, says murder. "Where's the water?" The room had no water! Simple. Eight people in the room, but nobody saw that.

Lt. Disher:
Well, I'm sure you would have seen it eventually, sir.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
Don't kid yourself. There is only one Adrian Monk.
