Lt. Randall Disher and Captain Leland Stottlemeyer in “Mr. Monk and the Paperboy”

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

This means "hurry up".

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.

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

Right.

Our guy was empty-handed.

What about a car thief?

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

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

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