Monk, Season 5

[Natalie leads Monk to the station and they meet Randy in the hallway]

Natalie:
What's so important, Randy?

Lt. Disher:
I think we've got him. We just picked up a guy in Rockaway; he was wearing the fireman's coat.

Natalie:
Who is he?

Lt. Disher:
A guy named Colbert, Jake Colbert. He's a drifter; he lives out by the beach. You think you can ID him?

Monk:
Oh, I don't know. Maybe you haven't heard: I am blind.

Natalie:
But you'll do the best you can, right? You can't give up just because you've been dealt a bad hand.

Monk:
Oh have I been dealt a bad hand? I wouldn't know, because I'm blind! [They meet Stottlemeyer outside the squad room door]

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
Monk, hey. I like the cane. You look kinda dapper.

Natalie:
So you found the guy?

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
We found a guy. He's the right height, does not have an alibi, and he was wearing the missing coat.

Natalie:
Did his shoes squeak?

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
Don't know. He was barefoot when we picked him up. But it doesn't matter because we don't need shoes when I've got an eyewitness.

Monk:
[following Stottlemeyer into the squad room] So to speak.
