Chimpanzees Quote by Suzanne Harper
““Si! Today there was a report from scientists who have spent their entire lives studying chimpanzees and you know what they said? They said the monkeys are learning to make spears! They've never been able to make weapons before but now, now, all of a sudden they can!" She gave him an ominous look and took the lid off the pot of boiling water. "Mark my words, Giacomo. They're doing it for a reason. The next thing you know, they'll be coming after us." "Mmm. That will be bad." "Si, very bad." She threw the pasta into the pot. "But I will be ready for them.””
