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.
Narrator
Ah, but the plotting poachers were only half-correct, for at that very moment, our handsome hero was all the way to San Francisco.

Concern Over Abandonment on a Rough Trail
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?
Kwame
They only speak Swahili.
N'Dugo
100 zamoles a man and you got a deal.
[in English]
Lyle
Hey, wait a second.
[shocked]
Max
Done.
[acceptingly]

Managing Anger in Unlikely Situations
Ape
I'm hungry.
Thor
Oh, shut up! You've been yakkin for two days straight, and I'm getting mad enough to...
Ape
You know, you really should work on your anger. Have you tried Brankowski's "Cage the Rage" technique?
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.

Advice on Jungle Attire and Comfort
Thor
I'm chafing, Max. I'm chafing big-time.
Max
Didn't I tell you not to wear twenty pounds of black leather in the jungle? Didn't I tell you? Cotton, I said. Cotton breathes.

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]
George
NOOOOOOOO!
[runs towards Ape]
Lyle Van de Groot
Stop, or I'll shoot!
[Aims his handgun at George; in slow motion, Lyle inaudibly yells, "I mean it!" before he shoots George]
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 ].
