Russell Madness Page #6

That sounds like

a lot of pressure.

Yeah, well, do you want to live

your life under the ring?

Hiding, always wondering,

but never actually experiencing

what the world has to offer?

- Well...

- No.

The answer is no!

You want to be king of the ring.

Master of the mat.

Pharaoh of the...

Let me get back to you on that.

Look, kid, I know we just met,

but I've got a nose for talent.

It's just what I really want

is a family.

I think I can arrange that.

How about the Ferraros?

Really?

You think those people...

they would be my family?

Sure, kid. They're counting

on you to wrestle.

I have a family?

I have a family!

In that case, I'll wrestle!

Hot diggity dog!

All right, Russ. Let's not get

ahead of ourselves.

I still have to

negotiate the deal.

You have to negotiate

to get a family?

Technically, no.

But in reality,

everything's a negotiation.

Now, let's go speak

to the people.

You speak People?

But you're a...

A monkey, yes.

A monkey who can

speak People, Zebra, Feline,

Canine obviously,

Pachyderm and little bit of

Squirrel like "Pass the nuts."

I speak like six

different species.

It's a talent. I'm gifted.

- Enough said.

- But how?

Animals can't speak to humans.

Inquisitive fellow, aren't you?

Well, it goes like this:

I was imprisoned,

part of this experiment

to see if humans could

teach monkeys to talk.

You know, monkey see, monkey do,

yada, yada, yada.

Flower.

Then I made a big mistake.

Banana.

Oops.

What can I say?

I lost it.

I'm only a monkey.

The jig was up.

I knew I had to escape.

Then I walked in the ring.

Met Maximiliano.

He introduced me to the

greatest sport of all time.

And the rest is

wrestling history.

Two million one hundred

eighty-seven

and sixty-two views!

It's just as amazing on video.

Look at his leap.

We can't find him anywhere.

Yo! Attention, Ferraros!

Family meeting, ring side!

- Who said that?

- Pronto!

Okay, I know that voice.

Look, he's not scared anymore,

are you, boy?

The kid's got a name.

It's Russell.

Okay, seriously, who said that?

- Over here, Nathaniel.

- Monkey!

Hey, now, you don't see me

jumping around

and shouting "Ah, human!"

Hunk?

- It's you?

- In the flesh... and fur.

Wait, Nate,

you know this monkey?

Of course he knows me.

We were once pals.

Amigos, inseparable.

See,

I told you he was real, Max.

No one ever believes

the little sister.

But... But you can talk like...

You're using words and things.

And I thought

I just made that part up.

You know,

like an imaginary friend.

Well, I'm not imaginary.

I'm a real monkey

with real emotions, Nate.

And all this time,

not a phone call, a Tweet,

an email, Instagram, nothing?
