Choosing Love Over Royal Expectations

Relaxation Away from City Life
Nado
We just returned from our country house.
Sandar
How was it?
Nova
Boring.
Nado
I find it relaxing being away from the bustle of the city.
Nova
There was no place to go. Nothing but trees and rocks. All you did was nap.
Nado
Exactly. Time away from politics. . . . . .is what I needed. We'd lose ourselves for days in the forest when we were young. Now I can barely climb a tree.
Sandar
Trite but true: "Youth is wasted on the young. " Oh, how did I get so old so fast?
Thade
Living with your daughter would age any ape quickly.
Sandar
You've been a stranger lately.
Thade
I apologize for my lateness, senator. I stopped to see my father.
Sandar
How's my old friend?
Thade
Slipping, I'm afraid. I'd like to see him more, but these are troubled days. The humans infest the provinces.
Ari
We encroach upon their habitat. They breed while we grow soft in our affluence.
Thade
They outnumber us four to one!
Nova
Why can't we simply sterilize them all?
Nado
The cost would be prohibitive. Although scientists tell me. . . . . .these humans carry terrible diseases.
Ari
How would we know? The army burns the bodies before they're examined. Father?
Sandar
At times, perhaps, the senate feels that the army has been. . .. . .a tad extreme.
Thade
] in defense of apes is no vice, senator! Your ideas threaten our prosperity! The human problem can't be solved with money!
[[Extremism]
Nado
We tried that once, and all we got was. .. . .a welfare state that nearly broke us.
Nova
I think the city has about as much diversity as I can handle.
Ari
This garment was made by one of my humans. And can you deny the skill? Obviously, they're capable of a real culture.
Thade
Everything in the human culture takes place below the waist.
Attar
Bow your heads! We give thanks for the fruit of the land. Bless us, holy father, who created all apes in his image. Hasten the day when you will return and bring peace to your children. Amen.
Apes
Amen.
Nado
Next you'll be telling us these beasts have a soul.
Ari
Of course they do.
Attar
The senator's daughter flirts with ].
[[blasphemy]
Thade
Is there a soul in there? Do you have a towel?
Ari
I've lost my appetite.
