"Please, put that down. Trust me, you don't want to play with it." Mac says.
"Yeah. Yeah. Just hand it over. Just hand it over, okay?" I asked and the monkey chirped. "Just hand it over." I said to the monkey as it held the detonator. "Hand it over, little monkey, okay?"
"Hey, little man." Jack says walking into the room holding a fruit. "Hey, man, look what I got. A ripe, delicious thingamabob. All his monkey buddies are eating these outside. They're going crazy for 'em. Hand that detonator over, and this baby's all yours. Hmm?" Jack asked and took a bite of it. "So good. Oh. Mmm Mmm. So juicy. Mmm." He took another bite then burped and gagged. "Oh, y'all eat these things? How are they not extinct?"
"How are you not extinct, Jack? What kind of Darwin Award nominee puts down a detonator in a room full of explosives?" I asked him.
"The kind with only two hands who had to zip..." He started to say and burped again. "...oh Zip-tie a rebel leader in a hurry, Tristin. That's who. I just set the detonator down for a second, man. How was I supposed to know some cappuccino monkey was gonna go picking it up?"

"Capuchin." Mac corrected.
"Ah, I think it's cappuccino."
"It's Capuchin." Mac says again.
"Guys, it's a monkey." I told them.
"You know what? Good news is safety's still on. So we're not in any real danger, unless he somehow figures out how to..." Mac says and the money turned off the safety. "...arm it."
"Uh-oh. Hey, I think we better give Curious George something else to be curious about before he pushes that button and ends us all right here." Jack says.
"Yeah, yeah, like what, like what?" I asked him looking around.
"I don't know."
"Hey, buddy." Mac says to the monkey and I see him hold up his pocket knife. "What's this? Yeah. Yeah. You like that, don't you? Want to trade?" He asked the monkey moving slowly towards him. "Yeah. Uh-huh. Just like..." The money screeched taking the pocket knife and dropping the detonator that Mac quickly picked up turning the safety back on. "We're safe."
"Safe? What is safe about giving a knife to a monkey? Do you have any idea what that could do?" Jack asked him.
"I don't know, Jack. What?"
"You probably just started Planet of the Apes, man." Jack tell him and I rolled my eyes.
