Monk, Season 5

Natalie:
Captain!

[[w:
Adrian Monk|Monk]: Captain, for the record, this was all her idea. I mean, I wouldn't be here if I couldn't drive or had anything else to do.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
OK, I give up. What is it? [Natalie produces a check]

Natalie:
It's a $34 dry cleaning bill to clean the shirt and jacket that Mr. Monk ruined when he ran through the poultry farm to recover the ransom money in the Jimmy Creskow kidnapping case. What are you gonna do about it?

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
Try to ignore it.

Natalie:
No-no-no-no! We've already submitted this twice! It is a work-related expense, and we are entitled to compensation!

Monk:
Not my idea.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
Look, I couldn't agree with you more. I believe you guys are entitled to every dime you can get, but, there's nothing I can do about it. Lieutenant Disher is the Disbursement Coordinator.

Natalie:
Okay, where is he?

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
Uh, he's not here. He called in sick.

Monk:
Is he okay?

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
You know, he didn't sound too good. He's got a bad fever and he's got a cough.

Monk:
With that phlegmy flu thing? [Natalie waves her hands frantically to get Stottlemeyer's attention]

Natalie:
Okay-okay! When Randy is not here, who is in charge of payout?

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
That would be the Assistant Disbursement Coordinator.

Natalie:
And who is that?

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
' We don't have one. Is there anything else?

Monk:
Nah, that about covers it.
