*gives a desperate heave. makes it as far as the door, then sees a handrail outside on the porch. reaches for handrail, trying to wrap rope around it to give more leverage*

/* Zeppo tries a new strategy and spins sideways with the rope, rotating the entire group. The gnu is now pulling towards the doorway. */

*The back door flys open and an Ape steps in, rifle in hand.*

Oooook, ook oook (Aha! Now I've gotcha!)

*He aims the rifle at sea. At this range he can't possibly miss. A Grin spreads across his face as he pulls the trigger.*

CLICK!

Ooook!!!!!! ()

/* Zeppo barks at the ape, giving the gnu a sudden advantage in the 3-way tug-of-war. It falls abruptly backwards out the the door. */

/* Zeppo runs out the door after the gnu. */

wow. that is one smart dog!

*rushes at ape before he can reload, shoving her shoulder into its stomach and hoping to knock the wind out of it. she then dives for cover behind a nearby bunk*

take that you furry little... er, big... smelly... MONKEY!!!!

Ooooof! (Ooooof!)

Wheeze! (Wheeze!)

*thinks: haha! success!*

*dives over the bunk, scrambling to get the gun before the monkey recovers*

Gasp! (Gasp!)

Cough! (Cough!)

Oooook! Oook ook ook! (Bad person! I'll get you!)

*The Ape lunges out and grabs sea by the ankle*


In certain cases, the translator has judged it prudent to substitute more appropriate words.

*falls flat on face due to ape grabbing her ankle*

(Owie)

*rubs head*

... (I am rather irate)

*reaches for gun*

monkeys... (silly monkeys)

/* Zeppo gives one glance back and puts his tail between his legs to hear such language. He then chases the gnu towards the ranch house, where there seems to be many things to chase. */

sorry zeppo!

*fingertips brush gun*

*With the one hand holding sea's ankle, the Ape pulls on the leg, then reaches up with his other hand and grabs the leg, just above the ankle. Pulls the leg again, releases the ankle and grabs above his other hand. Moving hand-over-hand, the Ape is approaching sea's gun from below.*

*the ape grabs sea's knee, which is a very ticklish spot. sea bursts into laughter and flails wildly, trying to get the ape off her leg*

*sea's gun is knocked out of her holster and across the room*
