Twelve Monkeys Page #5

"What about the germs?" I say.

He says, "l don't believe in germs.

Germs are a plot they made up so they

can sell you disinfectants and soaps."

Now, he's crazy, right? See?

There's no right. There's no wrong.

There's only popular opinion.

You, you, you believe in germs, right?

I'm not crazy.

Of course not!

You wanna escape, right?

That's very sane.

I can help you. You want me

to, don't ya? Get you out?

- You know how to get outta here?

Yes, my son!

- Then why don't ya?

- Why don't I try to escape?

That's what you were gonna ask.

Good question.

Very good question. Intelligent.

Because I would be crazy to escape.

I have sent out word.

- I am all taken care of.

- What does that mean?

I've managed to contact

certain underlings, evil spirits,

secretaries of secretaries,

and other assorted minions

who will contact my father.

And when my father finds out

I'm in this kind of place,

he'll have them transfer me

to one of those classy joints...

where they treat you properly,

like a person, a guest!

With sheets and towels

like a big hotel,

with great drugs for all of us

nut-case, lunatic, maniac devils!

Sorry. Uh, sorry.

I got a little agitated.

The thought of escape crossed my mind.

And suddenly-

Suddenly I felt like bending

the f***ing bars back!

And ripping out the goddamn

window frames and eating them!

Yes, eating them!

And leaping, leaping, leaping!

Colonics for everyone!

Ahh, all right!

You dumb a**holes, I'm a mental patient.

I'm supposed to act out.

Wait'll you morons find out who I am!

My father's gonna be really upset.

And when my father gets upset,

the ground shakes.

My father is God!

I worship my father!

These dramatic videotapes,

secretly obtained by

animal rights activists,

have aroused public indignation.

But many scientists

vehemently disagree.

Torture experiments.

- We're all monkeys.

- They hurt you?

Not as bad as what

they're doing to the Easter Bunny.

Look at them.

They're just askin' for it.

Animals inside the lab-

Maybe the human race

deserves to be wiped out.

Wiping out the human race?

It's a great idea!

It's great!

But more of a long-term thing. First we

have to focus on more immediate goals.

I didn't say a word

about you-know-what.

- What are you talking about?

- Your plan. Emancipation.

What are you writing?

You a reporter?

It's private.

- A lawsuit? You gonna sue 'em?

- It's private!

Yo, Jimbo.

Time for your meds.

Take a chance. Live the moment.

Sunshine. Gorgeous beaches.

The Florida Keys!

We'll return you

to the Marx Brothers in Monkey Business.

Monkey business!

Monkey business!

Fetch!

Get it?

Monkey. Monk key.

Monk key!

- What?

- Shh.
