[Monk is STILL scrubbing his hands the morning after he first meets Derek Bronson]Monk: Any more soap?Natalie: That's it.Monk: No, I mean, is there any more soap in San Francisco?Natalie: Mr. Monk, you've been scrubbing your hand for nine hours! I'm surprised you have any skin left!Monk: It's not coming out. I can still feel it. I think it's spreading. [Pulls out a can from under the sink]Natalie: What are you doing? Is that kerosene?! [Monk douses his hand and tosses a match to Natalie]Monk: Light me!Natalie: What?Monk: For the love of God, light me!Natalie: Okay, Mr. Monk, I'm not gonna light your hand on fire!Monk: Fine. [Monk goes over to the stove, puts his left hand over his eyes, and screams as he tries to put his hand into a boiling pot. Natalie stops him]Natalie: You know what? You know what? Get away! You are overreacting, all right! All you did was shake a man's hand!Monk: You're right. You know what? I'm glad it happened. The worst possible thing that could ever happen to me has happened. I shook hands with a leper, and I survived.Natalie Teeger: Exactly!Monk: The worst moment of my life is behind me now. [wipes his hand] I'm free. Wait. [rotates a pot handle in his cabinet] Okay, now, I'm free.Natalie: Actually, Mr. Monk, it's not completely over. Don't be mad, but I talked to Mr. Bronson.Monk: You did what? What?!Natalie: He called here this morning.Monk: The leper! He called me? On what phone? On this phone?! [points to the kitchen phone]Natalie: Yes. [Monk pulls a roll of paper towel, wraps the phone in it, and puts it in the trash] Mr. Monk, you can't catch anything over the phone!Monk: Oh, oh, oh, hang on. Now all of a sudden, you're an expert on lepers?!Natalie: Okay, you know? Mr. Monk, he's a nice man, all right? He's in pain! He was crying his eyes out and…okay, listen to me. He upped his offer: he said he would pay you $25,000. All you have to do is meet him again!Monk: Natalie, listen. Let me explain something to you: No!Natalie: That's it? That's your argument?Monk: Okay, let's go through it. A: whatever he's asking us to do is probably illegal. "B" through "Z": the man is a leper!Natalie: You know what, I don't know anything about leprosy, and neither do you. So, I called a doctor. He's a specialist. He said we could come in, and talk with him. Let's just see what he recommends, okay? I mean, it can't hurt to listen, right? $25,000!
