Man 1: [[off panel]] Oh, yes. He's quite nearsighted. We got him some of those trendy black ones - they were on sale.
Man 1: Anyway, sometime between then and monday morning he somehow got himself an acoustic guitar and a MySpace account.
Chimp: [[with guitar]] My soul is in a cage/Oh the scars on my wrists tell a story/Why did you run away from me/I didn't mean to hit you with my feces/Oh yeah my feces
