  Dr. Karen Ross : FIGURE IT OUT!

  Richard : [Monroe tosses Richard a parachute]  OH NO!

  Dr. Peter Elliot : [the crew members begin jumping out of the plane. Monroe hands Peter a parachute]  This isn't going to work!

  Monroe : Oh, yes, it is. I'll take Amy.

  Dr. Peter Elliot : She might get hurt. I can't risk it!

  Monroe : Do you know how to fly this plane?

  Dr. Peter Elliot : No.

  Monroe : [nods toward the cockpit, where no one is at the controls]  Well, the pilot and co-pilot are already gone, so what are you going to do?

• Monroe : [encountering a wild silverback gorilla]  Don't move.

  Dr. Peter Elliot : I know.

  Monroe : [coming out of his hiding spot]  You did good.

  Dr. Peter Elliot : Where'd you go?

  Monroe : I ran away. Sorry.

• Monroe : Don't go in there! I'll check it out.

  Dr. Karen Ross : Give me a gun and a flashlight!

  Herkermer Homolka : I must go.

  Dr. Peter Elliot : Let's all take a look.

  Richard : Uh, I-I think I'll just stay out here with Amy.

  Monroe : Not alone, you won't.
