Roger: Signin'. Kid: Huh? Roger: My sister, Iris's deaf. Kid: Signing, huh?

Kid: Signin'. Like they teach chimps. Iris (Caption): Signing chimps loike Washoe and Nim Chimsky were in the news. Roger said you had to hear the kid's voice. Sneering. Insulting. Implying.

Kid: Hey! *Blub* Stop!! *Glub* Iris (Caption): Roger became my hero--but I hated chimps--because some signed...like...me.
