Congrats!

Splotchy: Hey! That's Monkerstein's line!

Johnny Yen: From your list, she is certainly in good company. I agree. She has some of the funniest lines ever.

J.D.: Ouch! I don't think I am dead yet!

It's the one where a judge asks if she is trying to show contempt for the court, and Mae responds: "No Judge, I'm doing my best to hide it."

Guy approaches her at a party and says, a few sheets to the wind:

"Y'know...I'd like to fuck you."

She looks him up and down and replies:

"If you do...and I find out about it..."
At Fri Aug 10, 06:37:00 AM, Dr. Zaius said...: Ha! I guess that she had a snappy comeback for every occasion.

Man is a pestilence.

Dr. Zira, I must caution you. Experimental brain surgery on these creatures is one thing, and I'm all in favor of it. But to suggest that we can learn anything about the simian nature from a study of man is sheer nonsense. Man is a menace, a walking pestilence. He eats up his food supply in the forest, then migrates to our green belts and ravages our crops. The sooner he is exterminated, the better. It's a question of simian survival.

Only 1,967 years until the
Reign of Zaius!
