Monk, Season 2

[Disher walks into Stottlemeyer's office while Stottlemeyer does work on his laptop]

Lt. Disher:
Captain, I have a thought. [Stottlemeyer doesn't look up, and waves his fingers] About paperboy. [Stottlemeyer continues gesturing with his fingers]

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
This means "hurry up".

Lt. Disher:
It was a burglary; the paperboy interrupted a B&E in progress. It fits: there were five break-ins on that block last year alone.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
[stands up] Nope. I already looked into that. All of those break-ins were hot prowlers - forced entry with a crowbar.

Lt. Disher:
Right.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
Our guy was empty-handed.

Lt. Disher:
What about a car thief?

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
Well, that doesn't explain the taking of the newspapers, doesn't it? [He puts on his overcoat]

Lt. Disher:
Right. So we're back to Monk's theory?

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
I'm afraid so. [shows Randy the door] And this means "we're leaving".
