"She caught cold, and ever since, she hasn't been herself." "It got so bad, I had to cancel the tour." "Walpole isn't much of a wizard without you, is he?"

"Oh, Bonnie will love it when I tell her." "She'll be so jealous she'll get well twice as fast." "Doctor, I'd like to leave in the morning, if you think Bonnie is ready." "Well, uh, yes." "Fine, professor." "Fine." "I tell you, why don't we talk about it up in the clinic, hm?" "Very well." "Thank you." "We'll strike the props for you, professor." "Oh, thank you." "Well, you, uh, magicians certainly do have a lot props to, uh, carry around." "Don't you get tired moving all the time?" "Yeah, ever think of settling down someplace?" "Certainly." "Center stage." "Well, what about, uh, when Bonnie can't work anymore?" "You know, professor, the foundation has a chimp farm." "I never worry about the distant future." "Right now it's booking time."

"How is she, doctor?" "Well, I, uh" "I guess she's well enough to leave whenever you like." "She is?" "Well, Bonnie, did you hear that?" " Here, let me do that." " Oh, yes." "As soon as I get back to Mgera, I'll wire the agents we're ready to go back to work again." "Uh, professor, I, um" "I have some medication here for, um--for Bonnie." "Now, these, um--these tablets are a geriatric preparation, and they're primarily hormones and vitamins, and this is cortisone, a painkiller." "A painkiller?" "Yes, um, now, when you see her arms and hands stiffen, like they were when you arrived, well, you just give her one of those." "Now, there's enough there to last for about a month or so, and this prescription will allow you to buy a larger amount." "But just a minute, doctor." "How long will Bonnie have to take them?" " For the rest of her life." " What are you saying?" "That there's nothing more I can do for her." "But I was under the impression" "I'm sorry." "I--I know, but when Bonnie arrived, she was in a great deal of pain." "Now, the medication I gave her merely relieved that pain, nothing else." "Nothing else?" "!" "Professor, please, try to understand." "She is too old to be Bonnie the Wonder Chimp any longer." "Ridiculous." "Why, you even told me yourself" "I'm sorry." "I can only apologize for what I didn't tell you." "Frankly, I" "I had an idea it was old age when I first saw her." "Well, I don't believe you." "I'll take her to another doctor, someone who knows what he's doing." "Professor, Bonnie can be a good friend for a long time, just as long as you don't ask too much of her." "Bonnie's the best-trained chimp in the world." "She's no more finished than I am, and you don't know what you're talking about, but since you've evidently exhausted all your medical know-how, we'll leave in the morning." "Bonnie, you'll stay with me." "Ah, thank you, Judy." "Here he comes." "Thank you." "We'll be leaving in the morning." "How did he take it, Dad?" "How do you think?" "Oh, I wish there was something we could do." "You know, I've been thinking." "What?" "Well, he may get insulted, but last week they were looking for some skilled helpers at the chimp farm." "It's a good idea, Marsh." "It's still afternoon in the States." "If we cabled the foundation now, we might be able to get an answer before he leaves in the morning." "Let's do it." "Quiet, Judy." "We mustn't disturb anybody." "They're all asleep." "I have a long way to go, and I want to get an early start." "Judy, I appreciate you wanting to come with Bonnie and me, and I'm flattered." "But this is your home." "I love you too, Judy, and I'll miss you." "Back to bed." "Back to bed." "Go on, go on." "Bye, Judy." "Goodbye, Clarence." "Ok, Bonnie, girl, just lie down." "That's a girl."
