Monk Quote
[Randy is reciting the burned out car's VIN to the Captain so he can enter it into a database search.]
Randy: First letter, "T" as in "tsunami".
Stottlemeyer: "Tsunami"?
Randy: Silent "T".
Stottlemeyer: What? No. "T" as in "Tom". Just say "Tom".
Randy: What's the difference?
Stottlemeyer: It doesn't... The "T" is silent.
Randy: It's not completely silent. "T-sunami".
Stottlemeyer: All right. All right. Let's go.
Randy: Second letter, "P" as in...
Stottlemeyer: ..."P" as in "Paul".
Randy: No.
Stottlemeyer: Too late. I typed it. "P".
Randy: Yeah, but the person reading the letters gets to say the word. That's how we do it.
Stottlemeyer: That's how who does it?
Randy: Society. We live in a society.
Stottlemeyer: Yes, we do, Randy! Meanwhile, the "P" has been sitting on my screen for 10 minutes!
Randy: Fine. "P" for "Pam". No! "Panavision". "Tsunami", "Panavision", next letter, "L".
Stottlemeyer: "L".
Randy: As in... No, we'll come back to that one.
Stottlemeyer: No, we can't come back to it, Randy! [the phone rings; Stottlemeyer answers.] Whoever this is, thank you very much for calling.
