It's hard to tell if the little message behind that scene was intentional or not. These characters are constantly sabotaging each other because the simple act of communication seems to be beyond them.
But frankly it was Nick and Hank's downright dickish behavior towards Monroe that put me off the entire story. The poor guy agreed to being made to smell like Satan's fart, and when he needs a ride home to wash the stink off, they leave him in the lurch. If Monroe really smelled that bad, why would a cab driver be any more willing to let him into his car? It's quite possible Monroe had to walk home between episodes. Just imagine a long, dreary trek through Portland in the middle of the night, practically GLOWING with an odor that peels the paint right off the sides of buildings, every living creature within a five-mile radius (including skunks) packing up and moving to a completely different continent purely to avoid the risk of ever having to smell something like that again. All because you were stupid enough to take one for the team.
If Nick or Hank ever fell into a septic tank and pleaded to Monroe to pull them out, I wouldn't blame him if he were to throw down a taxi company card and quietly walk away.
