Captain Stottlemeyer: "Wife Claims Missing Billionaire Husband Still Alive. Probate hearing is set for tomorrow.
Former homicide detective Adrian Monk is set to testify." What the hell's Hansen's disease?
Adrian Monk: Leprosy. He's a leper.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Oh, my God.
Lieutenant Disher: I thought they lived in colonies. You know, like in Ben Hur.
Captain Stottlemeyer: And, uh, you met this guy face-to-face?
