Why? What for?

Where'd he go?

They went for a walk.

He went for a walk with that creep?

I told you before,

he's not a creep!

How could you do this to me?

- Oh, hi, Rog.

- Hi. What are you doing here?

You were taking a walk.

I thought I'd join you.

You know, there is something

really weird going on here.

Uh, what?

I... I think that chimp

actually likes TV.

You've gotta be kidding.

No, he actually

seems to be entertained.

- Look, he really likes it.

- No, no. It's just the lights.

Certain light attracts certain animals.

That's a scientific fact.

I never heard that.

You didn't know that?

I thought everybody knew that.

I learned that

at Moonrise Night School.

On Melrose Avenue?

- What's the matter?

- I don't know.

I've never seen him act like this.

What did you do?

I didn't do anything to him.

Look, he's gone mad!

Well, you must've stepped

on his paw or something.

How could I step

on his paw from over here?

Good heav...

Uh, excuse me. Here, let me

help you. I'm terribly sorry.

Good. We got it.

Come on, fellow.

We're all through here.

Vicious little...

Keep that ape away from me.

- Come on. Over here.

- On the table.

Thank heaven you're here.

You can't believe what happened.

- We're not finished yet.

- Rog, don't worry about a thing.

We've got the bail.

We'll have you out in no time.

How could you let me be associated

with a beast like that? He's a monster.

He's not a monster. Something

just got into him, that's all.

Maybe he just doesn't

like basketball.

Oh, he doesn't?

I happen to like it very...

That thing's not a monster?

That's gonna cost you 75 bucks.

- For what? That?

- Come on, fella.

It's gonna cost at least 75 bucks

to get that thing fixed.

Okay. Who do I pay

to bail the chimp out?

- We take care of it right here.

- Wait a minute. What about me?

Gee, I'm sorry, Rog.

I'm out of money.

I gotta get some more. Don't worry.

You're bailing that chimp out and

letting me stay here in this dump?

Wait just a minute, mac.

This is a pretty nice place.

We happen to like it down here.

Well, you have to. I don't.

Steve, we aren't

gonna leave Roger here?

Gee, we've gotta be realistic

about this thing, Jen. I mean, uh...

It's Roger or the chimp,

and this is no place for a chimp.

Well, it's no place for me, either!

Wave goodbye

to Uncle Roger now.

Miserable chimp.

- Poor little guy.

- Poor little guy, my foot.

It's back to the Bernaduccis for him.

Oh, no, wait a minute.

You can't do that.

What are you getting excited about?

- I need him!

- You need him?

I mean,

I don't need him.

Why would you wanna give

a poor little guy like this away?

I mean, that's inhumane!
