[Disher walks into Stottlemeyer's office while Stottlemeyer does work on his laptop]
Lt. Randall Disher: Captain, I have a thought. [Stottlemeyer doesn't look up, and waves his fingers] About paperboy. [Stottlemeyer continues gesturing with his fingers]
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: This means "hurry up".
Lt. Randall 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.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: [stands up] Nope. I already looked into that. All of those break-ins were hot prowlers - forced entry with a crowbar.
Lt. Randall Disher: Right.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: Our guy was empty-handed.
Lt. Randall Disher: What about a car thief?
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: Well, that doesn't explain the taking of the newspapers, doesn't it? [He puts on his overcoat]
Lt. Randall Disher: Right. So we're back to Monk's theory?
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer: I'm afraid so. [shows Randy the door] And this means "we're leaving".
