No people here to look stupid for. Just George.

Something funny about this fella.

George not feel so good.

George
[opening a lion's jaws]

When lion brush last?

George not even trying hard.

Scenes with George

6 scenes

Well, we haven't been friends for very long, George, but I already think I know something about you.

George

Oh?

You are in love with my daughter.

George

Oh, Mrs. Ursula not so dumb.

[Chuckles]

Charming. My concern, however, is that Ursula seems to reciprocate your feelings, and that does present a problem to me. You see, you and Ursula together would be unbefitting her social stature. You see? Let me put it in a way you might understand. Where you come from, zebras marry zebras and leopards marry leopards. Stripes with stripes, spots with spots. Well, Ursula is a stripe, and you are a spot, one which I intend to have removed as soon as possible.

George

So you no want Ursula to love George?

I would rather have my tongue nailed to this table every morning at breakfast.

George

That hurt.

Not as much as you will if you do anything to screw up my daughter's marriage to Lyle Van de Groot. When Lyle returns, this wedding will proceed as planned. If you do anything to upset that, I will remove your reason for wearing a loin cloth.

Waiter

Steak tartare, Mrs. Stanhope?

No, thank you. I've had quite enough protein for today. [Walks away from a depressed George] Have a pleasant evening, Mr. Jungle.

Max

Let's take care of him.

George
[Max and Thor pick George up and ram him]

Huh?

Ape

WHOA!

Ape
[George's head is wedged into the cage]

Why didn't you come sooner?

George

Why Ape have little stars around head?

Ape
[Max and Thor pull George out, tickle him, and ram his head back in]

George, remember everything I told you about Queensbury rules and fighting fair?

George

Uh-huh.

Ape

Well, now's a good time to forget it.

Max

Let's finish him off.

[George kicks Max and Thor in the groins]

Oh, I can't breathe, Max!
Max Let it out, Thor, let it out!

[Max puts George in a Full Nelson and Thor starting tickling George.]

Take this!

George

Stop it! Ape! [laughing]

Ape
[as Thor aims his rifle at Shep the elephant, Ape roars and jumps out of the treehouse to the ground]

Run, Shep! Run for your life!

Max

Did that monkey just speak?

That monkey just spoke.

Ursula Stanhope

I knew it.

Lyle

He talked.

Max
[to Thor]

Shoot it now.

Ape
[turns and notices Max and Thor]

Hmm?

Max
[lowers Thor's rifle]

With the tranquilizer gun, idiot. The ape's worth a fortune.

George

NOOOOOOOO! [runs towards Ape]

[Aims his handgun at George]

Stop, or I'll shoot! [in slow motion, Lyle inaudibly yells, "I mean it!" before he shoots George]

Ape

NOOOOOOOO!

NOOOOOOOO!

Ursula

GEOOOOOOOORGE! [fade to white]

Whew! Okay, kids, let's settle down and review the important information. Lyle is a big doofus. Poor George was really shot, but can't die because, let's face it, he's the hero.

Well, Ursula's fiancé is in prison, and there's a jungle man sleeping on her balcony. She could use a best friend right now.

Betsy

Hi.

Ursula Stanhope

Hi.

Betsy

I got here as fast as I could. Where is he?

Ursula Stanhope

Oh, he's in the waterf-- He's in the shower.

Betsy

Not anymore.

Ursula Stanhope

Oh! George. [sees him naked]

George

Bad waterfall. First, water get hot, then George slip on this strange yellow rock. [holds up a bar of soap] Oh. Hi. George of Jungle.

Betsy

Charmed, I'm sure.

Ursula Stanhope

George, hold this big book. [he holds book covering his front part] Cover the booty. [puts bowl on his rear] Get into some decent clothes. Sorry, Betsy.

George

Bye.

Betsy

No problem. [to herself] Now I can see why they made him king of the jungle.

George
[after the poachers are captured.]

Good work, brother apes. Now, listen very carefully to George. [continues in ape sounds, subtitled] My noble brethren, thou hast served me well. Now thy work here is done, but behold, how Shep doth dispatch these villains.
