Lt. Randall Disher and Captain Leland Stottlemeyer in “Mr. Monk and the 12th Man”

Captain! [hands a file to Stottlemeyer] Washington just sent this down. It's a prelim psych profile. [Stottlemeyer holds the file to his forehead]

Let me guess: the killer is between 30 and 45 years old, white male, does not work in an office, probably spent time in the military, and definitely hates his mother. [hands the file back to Disher]

How did you know that?

'Cause that's what they always say, Lieutenant. That's scrap paper.
