he's still scared of monsters in his closet, and being home alone on occasion.
Even while in his apartment, he's shown to be cowardly. Like having to go to Marie's house because he's scared of noises and things in the dark.
Then some girl's father in the laundry room who steps to him, and Robert is scared of him.
Or keep a tennis racket under his bed for ghosts, which he still does after being married to Amy.
That's just it, I don't get how a guy like that would then suddenly turn into a "completely competent and intrepid" cop as peeaecee said, unless they have multiple personality disorder, lol.
Police, like other people, don't necessarily let their personal lives interfere with their jobs. They can be practically like two different people, on the job and off.
I agree, but that doesn't apply to Robert in this case. If you're scared of monsters in your closet or ghosts under your bed or just being home alone, then how can you possibly handle violent criminals on a regular basis? If Robert turns into a neurotic, whiny mess when his family makes fun of him, then I shudder to think how he reacts when people are shooting at him or when rapists and murderers are resisting arrest and yelling obscenities at him.
