Is that a roundabout way of saying that monkeys don't have souls?
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Erm. Sure! I don't think people do either, if that helps.
The interesting thing to me isn't "Animals act just like people!" but "People act just like animals!" It's all a matter of emphasis.

Yes. Except for evil monkeys - they have souls so they can be sent to Monkey Hell....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Is it harder being a zombie pirate monkey than just being a pirate monkey?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I've never gotten a cat from the shelter. Most of the cats I've had just showed up. I got Boots when someone advertised that they had kittens free to good homes...

Where do monkeys on rollerskates fall on the soul/no-soul axis? This is of paramount importance.
