Monk, Season 7

[Monk shows Natalie around the house. They come down the stairs and then head down the hall towards the ground bathroom]

Adrian Monk:
And.... here is another bathroom; for a total of [flicks on the light switch] two bathrooms. That is a claw-footed bathtub, which is something I've always wanted.

Natalie:
[laughs] It is?

Monk:
Yeah. I just didn't know it. [Natalie runs her hand along the wall as they walk back towards the foyer]

Natalie:
Oh, I love all the woodwork!

Monk:
Hey, don't touch that.

Natalie:
What, wet paint?

Monk:
No, just don't touch it. Another wall, hallway, more walls, another wall, and we're back in the living room.

Natalie:
I can't believe it! You actually did it!

Monk:
Uh, that's a new rug. Don't just stand on it. You have to keep moving.

Natalie:
Moving?

Monk:
So it doesn't wear out in one place. [Natalie starts stepping from side to side]

Natalie:
Oh, you mean like this?

Monk:
Maybe wider circles.

Natalie:
Okay I'm just gonna stand over here. [She walks back to the foyer]

Monk:
So, whaddaya think? [Monk sits down in the other room]

Natalie:
I like it. I do! I think you're gonna be really hap... You're gonna be...

Monk:
Happy!

Natalie:
Happy.

Monk:
I already am. I should've done this years ago.

Natalie:
And you don't miss your old apartment.

Monk:
Why should I?

Natalie:
Because Trudy was there! And this house is not the same. And you're not a big fan of "not the same".

Monk:
Well, maybe I've matured. [pause; Natalie glares at him] I said maybe I've matured.

Natalie:
Mr. Monk, I was raised in an older house. There are going to be problems; there always are. And you can't just call the super! You know, you're it! You're-you're responsible!

Monk:
That's what I love about it! I have never been responsible for anything. I want to be responsible.

Natalie:
You do?

Monk:
I want to be part of something. Something real. Something [pounds a fist into the dining room door frame] permanent. Natalie, I'm.... home. [Natalie laughs and joins him in the dining room]
