Here I Go: How many times do I hafta tell ya?! We're a perfectly happy family here with just two humans (Tarzan doesn't count). We don't need no more comin' in. I mean, do ya know how long it'd take for ya ta learn our language? It ain't that easy. You'd hafta eat like us, too. And, lemme tell ya, fancy-pants Jane Porter was not thrilled when she realized she'd be living on bugs and plants for the rest of her life. Don't get me wrong, Jane is okay once ya get used to her. Very okay, actually. But that doesn't mean we need another one of you walkin' around in our jungle.

It's not just the bugs.. it's a lotta stuff. Ya shoulda seen Tarzan when he was a kid..tryin'ta climb trees and swing on vines and do anything, really, without gettin' inta trouble. Tarzan's my best friend, but he was sort of a freak back then. Don't.. tell 'im I told ya that. Not ta mention, ya (you humans, I mean) leave ur junk everywhere. You'd think that people could clean up after themselves as guests, am I right? Nope. Humans don't clean nuthin' after they leave it somewhere. My buds, Tantor and some other guys, saw it all with our own eyes. You could not believe..okay, ya probably could..'cuz ur one of them, the mess they made.

You think I'm bein' tough? You shoulda seen our old leader, my uncle, Kerchak. I dunno how Aunt Kala dealt with 'im. She's a lot nicer and less scary lookin'. We miss 'im, but that guy'd be all over you if he was still around. But, he's not.. and that's another reason why ya can't stay here. We haven't exactly had many reasons to like your kind. When we met the Porters, trouble came with 'em, all 'cuza those selfish, greedy humans they knew. They tried to put us in some big containers er somethin'. Talk about rude. Look, I'm not tryin' ta be rude ta you, butcha can't stay here. We have enough humans here as it is. You just..wouldn't fit in. You'd cause trouble.. we don't need it.
