we keep the troops.

We put the new recruits in here until

they're processed into the program.

At that point we move them over

to their permanent cages--

- Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it.

- What?

I'm supposed to be in the Experimental

Pilot Performance Project.

Yeah, that's right.

These are monkeys.

I don't know anything

about monkeys.

- ( chittering )

- Krieg:
Sure, you do.

You're a primate yourself, right?

Am I right? Yes.

Okay, first things first.

White neckbands denote freshmen,

blue-- juniors, and red-- seniors,

kind of like college.

( monkey whooping )

Okay, here's your leash.

Here's your clipboard.

Okay, now let's go through the whole

procedure from the beginning, okay?

We'll start with the chimp

in cage number 14.

Put his leash on him and weigh him

and put him in cage number five--

that one right over there.

I'll be back in a minute.

And if you need any help,

just ask him, okay?

Watts, please hang up your key

like everybody else. Thank you.

( jet passes overhead )

Hey there, fella.

( monkey growls )

Okay, let's go.

- ( monkey grunts )

- ( door closes )

I wouldn't mess with him

if I were you.

That guy would like to rip your arm off

and beat you half to death with it.

Sergeant Krieger wants me

to weigh him.

Krieger don't know sh*t

about these animals.

- I'm Isaac Robertson.

- Jimmy Garrett.

Jimmy, pound for pound,

these guys are

seven times as strong as we are.

I think that you should start

with this little fella here.

He looks just as scared

as you do.

Be a little careful.

He can bite.

Okay.

Hey. How are you doing?

Uh, no funny stuff, okay?

Go ahead.

Look, look, I know that

you would probably rather be

climbing up a tree, right?

I'd rather be flying a plane.

We don't have any choice

in the matter though, right?

So what do you say?

Huh?

Be a good boy, okay?

Be a good little chimp.

Come here.

Sh*t.

Hey.

( clapping )

( chuckling )

Okay. Good boy.

Jimmy:
Come on, go up.

Pull it back.

Pull it back.

Pull it back. Pull it back.

Robertson:
Pull it back slowly.

Pull it back.

- That's it.

- Come up.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Whoa, whoa.

Pull up. Pull it.

- Come on. Easy.

- Sh*t.

You want it smooth.

You want it smooth, man. Come on.

- Pull up, pull up.

- Argh.

( chuckles ) That happens

to everybody the first time.

Good, good.

Good boy.

Good boy.

Good boy.

- Good boy.

- Give him a raisin.

- I feel like an idiot.

- ( chuckles )

Jimmy, it's gonna take him a couple of

days just to get the feel of this thing.

- Let's try again.

- Okay.

Give me your finger.

Now push this button.

- Robertson:
Throttle forward.

- Okay.

Robertson:
Good. Now both hands
