Gosh , I don't know .
Let me tell y' somethin' ... And let it be clear and unequivocal ... Washoe is ... an actual , true-life , undeniably reading , writing , chattering chimp . I'm serious , folks . This isn't some game for me ; I don't profit from this . I mean , look ... People just can't make up this kind of thing . This stuff is real . Dead real . It's as much a fact as the sun rising every morning ; as the notion of diseases caused by tiny animals , not by demons or evil spirits ; as real as the fact that man has landed on the moon . And let us not forget - curse the day we forget - that scientists once staked their reputations on the " fact " that rocks do not fall from the sky . Today , these rocks are called meteorites . So why can't we open our minds , open our hearts to , shall we say ... Still greater possibilities . Possibilities that unbind our mind as the plane and boat and rocket have unbound our wanderings upon this universe . Let us reach still further through the entrance to the inner workings of the soul , and ... bring something back . Something ... something physical ; something tangible . Something that will not leave us wondering why we ever began this journey in the first place , but rather ... Something that's undeniable , unquestioning ... Something that gives us an irrefutable assurance that ... We made it . We survived .
