[Scene: San Diego Zoo. Ross is at the Monkey cages.]
LIPSON: Hi, Dean Lipson, zoo administrator. I was told you had a question.
ROSS: Well, I uh, I can&`&t seem to find the monkey I donated last year. He&`&s a capuchan, answers to the name Marcel.
LIPSON: Ahh, I&`&m afraid I have some bad news. Marcel has passed on.
ROSS: Oh my God, what happened?
LIPSON: Well he got sick, and then he got sicker, and then he got a little better but then he died.
ROSS: I can&`&t believe this.
LIPSON: I&`&m sorry Mr. Geller. But ya know, there&`&s an old saying, &`&Sometimes monkeys die.&`& It&`&s not a great saying but it certainly is fitting today.
ROSS: Well, ya know, someone should have called me.
LIPSON: I&`&m sorry. Look, I know this can&`&t bring him back but here, it&`&s just a gesture.
ROSS: Zoo dollars?
LIPSON: Yes, and come see the bird show at 4. The macaws wear hats. Well it&`&s a lot cuter if your monkey hasn&`&t just died.
Scene 2
JANITOR: There was a break-in, few months back, inside job. Your monkey was taken.
ROSS: Oh my God. But the zoo told me that my monkey was dead.
JANITOR: The zoo! Do you believe everything the zoo tells ya?
ROSS: That, that&`&s the only thing the zoo&`&s ever told me.
JANITOR: Of course they&`&re gonna say he&`&s dead. They don&`&t want the bad publicity. It&`&s all a great big cover-up. Do you have any idea how high up this thing goes?
JANITOR: Word on the street - well, when I say street, I mean those little pretend streets they have here at the zoo.
ROSS: Of course.
JANITOR: Your monkey found a new career, in the entertainment field. That&`&s all I know.
ROSS: This is unbelievable.
JANITOR: So, what is this information worth to you, my friend?
ROSS: Are you trying to get me to bribe you?
JANITOR: Maybe.
ROSS: But you already told me everything.
