Cut!  Send this scene back to the writers.  Have them change the line to "Put the monkey lotion in the basket! Put the monkey lotion in the basket!"

She definitely gets her looks from your side of the family. She has your hair and my side of the family is a little  more colorful.

IUPUI Research History Moment:

The lesser known B.F. Skinner picnic basket experiment established the foundation for rhesus monkey partner embarrassment research for decades to come, eventually leading to the pivotal discovery of the "I'm with stupid" t-shirt.

BANANAS THE MONKEY

Man with basket: "Hello"

Clown: "Hi"

Monkey: "Hi my name is Mr. Bananas!" saying highly pitched and very enthusiastically. 

Man with basket: "Hi" saying cautiously. 'Wow this woman has the potential to be a fantastic ventriloquist.' 

Monkey: "Do you have any bananas in that basket of your's?"

Man with basket: "Yes, I believe I do Mr. Bananas." (he digs through the basket not finding any bananas) "Well I'll be a monkey's uncle, I gave my friend the last one."

Monkey: "Whaaat! You're related to me?"

Man with basket: "No, that is just an expression."

Monkey: "Aww man!"

Man with basket: "Sorry, oh your leg is attached to your stomach. Here let me fix that for you." (the man pins back on the monkey's leg in the correct spot)

Monkey: "Hey, will you look at that! Thank you Sir."

Man with basket: "You are very welcome"

Clown: "Thank you Sir." 

Man with basket: "You are welcome, here let me give you my card. I know a friend that makes puppets for ventriloquists if you are interested. Also if I may, can I suggest when you are making your puppets talk try not to move your lips."

Clown: "Okay, thank you." 

Man with basket: "Nice to meet you but I better go back to the Liberal Arts Picnick tables."
