Turk, Janitor and others in “Unfinished Business”

How do you know sign language?

JJanitor

Well, when I was in high school I was a volunteer janitor at the Hoboken Zoo. And one night I was out plucking peacock feathers to sell for pens when I noticed Gary the gorilla making the sign for food. I gave him my danish. He gave the sign for "thank you". Those were the only two signs that Gary knew. Except for boobs. He liked 'em big and hairy.

Join the club, playa.

JJanitor

Get away.

[shrugs] Okay. [leaves]

JJanitor

So, eventually Gary, I'm sorry to say, died of lung cancer. For that I blame myself, because I used to share my smokes with him. But he also piqued my interest in signing, and in his memory I took my first signing class.

Is any of that true?

JJanitor

Someone would have to read it back to me.
