Help, the human's about to escape!

Get your paws off me, you dirty ape!

Chimp Nurse:

Ooh, help me, Dr. Zaius!

Oh, Dr. Zaius!

Troy:

What's wrong with me?

Dr. Zaius:

I think you're crazy.

I want a second opinion.

Dr. Zaius:

You're also lazy.

Oh, Dr. Zaius!

Ape Elder:

Troy:

Can I play the piano anymore?

Dr. Zaius:

Of course you can.

Well, I couldn't before.
