"unfortunately," Hagar said, "we're in the jungle. It happens when it happens. We're in the natural world." "not if it talks, it's not natural," the cameraman said, "and we haven't got all f*$&#ing day." " I don't know what to tell you," Hagar said. "Find me the f&*(^&*ing monkey!" the guy yelled (124).
This passage indicates the development of the sighting of the "speaking orangutan" (possibly partially genetically human). As soon as word gets out, the media is all over the place trying to find this orangutan. Even though people don't know much about orangutans in general, they are dying to see this phenomenon "FIND ME THE F-ING MONKEY"- orangutans aren't monkeys. All of this frenzy in the outside world mimics what is going on in the business of genetics world (in the book). The main characters, who are workers for genetic engineering companies, have much pandemonium breaking loose within the companies. Many don't know whether to believe it or not, and all the competing companies gossip about other companies that might have had something to do with this genetically altered orangutan. Will there be more than one dutch-speaking orangutan? Can they speak any other languages? How did this come to happen?
