Adrian Monk Quote #1463
Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Leper
Dr. Polanski: For one thing, it's not called leprosy anymore. It's called Hansen's disease. It's quite rare. Most people are naturally immune to it. And if you do happen to contract it, it's easily treatable with an antibiotic called halazzen.
Natalie: See, I've been talking to this man. He wants to hire us. But he's allergic to halazzen.
Dr. Polanski: Yes, that does happen. Is his condition full-blown?
Adrian Monk: Oh, yes. Yeah. Yes, yes. Yes, full-blown. Full... blown!
Dr. Polanski: Sir?
Adrian Monk: Full-blown.

Quote from Adrian Monk
Dr. Polanski: I don't think you have to worry. As I said, it's not very contagious. I've been practicing for 15 years. I've only seen one case first-hand.
Adrian Monk: I can't do it. I just... I- I can't do it.
Dr. Polanski: Well, how about this? If you do contract the disease I'll treat you for free.
Adrian Monk: The hell are you talking about? How about this? We never call the guy back. We don't see him again. I avoid him like the plague. Yeah, you know what? Exactly like the plague.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Natalie: Mr. Monk. Did you hear what he just said?
Adrian Monk: No.
Natalie: He said it's almost impossible to catch.
Adrian Monk: Yeah. In that sentence, for me, the word "almost" is really the most interesting word.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Natalie: You are overreacting, all right? All you did was shake a man's hand.

Natalie: Exactly.
Adrian Monk: The worst moment of my life is behind me now. I'm free. Wait. [Monk reorients a pan] Okay, now I'm free.
