PETER: Oh, art-schmart. Put enough monkeys in a room with a typewriter, they’ll produce Shakespeare.

CLIP OF MONKEYS IN A ROOM

MONKEY AT COMPUTER: Ah, let’s see. A “something” by any other name.” Hm.

MONKEY #1: ‘Carnation’, ‘peony’.

MONKEY #2: No. That did that on last week’s “Marlo.”

MONKEYS: Oh… Hm…

MONKEY #3: What about daisy?

MONKEY #4: ‘Chrysanthemum’!

MONKEY #1: ‘Iris’? ‘Rose’? What about ‘rose’?

MONKEY AT COMPUTER: ‘Rose’? Did you say ‘rose’?

MONKEY #3: ‘Rose’. Yeah. Oh, ‘rose’ is good!

(THE MONKEY AT THE COMPUTER STARTS TYPING)

MONKEY AT COMPUTER: “Rose by any other name.” Yeah, that works.

MONKEY #3: Oh, I like that a lot.

MONKEY AT COMPUTER: Okay, ‘rose’. Moving on.

MONKEY #4: Hey, what about ‘tulip’?

MONKEY AT COMPUTER: ‘Rose’ is fine. Moving on.
