The Plan to Steal a Talking Ape
Thor No, Max. Forget about it. I do not want to listen to anymore of your ideas.
Max You'll like this one. We're gonna steal Georgie-Boy's talking ape.
Thor You mean, back up the mountain?
Max Thor, that ape is our ticket out of poaching and into show business. Think about it. We got a talking ape. What do Sigfried and Roy have?
Thor Sequins?
Max Exactly. Get ready for room service, mate, and girls. We're getting our ape and going to Vegas. By next weekend, we'll be headlining at the Tropicana. Nobody is gonna stop us.
Thor Right. George of the Jungle must be halfway to Frisco by now.

Lyle Ursula! Gosh, this trail's really rough.
N'Dugo Drop him! You're not his donkey. "Ursula! Ursula!" Next cliff we pass, he's history.
[Swahili; mocking Lyle; Swahili; he and his men start going in another direction]
Lyle Hey, come back here.
Max They're not abandoning us, are they?
Kwame They are threatening.
Lyle If you don't mind, Kwame, I have a knack for getting the most out of my employees. Do you mind if I address the porters?
Kwame They only speak Swahili.
Lyle Well, I just happen to have a Swahili phrase book.
Kwame Be my guest.
Lyle Pardon me, girls. I know you're feeling pretty hey sailor up here about now. But, if you would just let me order a bowl of fried clams, we can all have smallpox tomorrow morning. I think our troubles are over.
[Swahili; The porters laugh. Lyle speaks English]
Max Tell them I'll pay 50 zamoles a man if they'll help me capture the White Ape and bring him back alive.
Lyle Alive? After he...uh...well, he pulled Ursula's scrunchy off. We know that much.
Max 50 zamoles a man. What do you say?

Managing Anger in Unlikely Situations

Max Don't let him get to you, Thor. He's just an ape.
Ape That's a fine way to talk to your meal ticket. You keep that up, it's liable to affect my stage performance.
Max Give him a banana, Thor. Won't be long now.
Thor That's what you said yesterday. This trail's taking us to the middle of nowhere!
Max The sign at the trail head said, "Shortcut to Ape River". Now, why would it say "shortcut" if it wasn't a-- Wait a minute. Maybe it's a fake. A decoy trail.
[realizes something]
Ape Very good, Max. Actually, the trail is a fake. It circles Ape Mountain six times before heading right back to the treehouse.
Thor Ohhh! Oh, I knew we was lost!
Max Don't listen to him, Thor. He's just trying to trick us, lead us off the shortcut so we take twice as long on the regular trail.
Thor We're already taking twice as long!
Max Are you gonna let a monkey make a monkey out of you?
Thor What?
Ape Du-u-u-uh!
Max Let's go. If he tells us the shortcut leads to the treehouse, then that's exactly where it doesn't lead.

Ape Run, Shep! Run for your life!
Max Did that monkey just speak?
Thor That monkey just spoke.
Ursula Stanhope I knew it.
Lyle He talked.
Max Shoot it now.
[to Thor]
Ape Hmm?
[turns and notices Max and Thor]
Max With the tranquilizer gun, idiot. The ape's worth a fortune.
[lowers Thor's rifle]

Ape NOOOOOOOO!
Lyle Van de Groot NOOOOOOOO!
Ursula GEOOOOOOOORGE!
[fade to white]
Narrator Whew! Okay, kids, let's settle down and review the important information. Lyle is a big doofus. Poor George was really shot, but can't die because, let's face it, he's the ].
