Chimpan-A to Chimpan-Z
Troy: I hate every ape I see,
From chimpan-A to chimpanzee,
No, you’ll never make a monkey out of me!
(Statue of Liberty rises)
O my! I was wrong!
It was Earth, all along!
You’ve finally made a monkey,
Apes: Yes we’ve finally made a monkey,
Troy: Yes you’ve
& Apes: finally made a monkey out of me!
Troy: I love you, Dr. Zaius!
