Post Inherit the Wind question
How would you work around the scene where Hornbeck talks to an organ-grinder's monkey? Hornbeck's dialogue is the best in the show, so cutting the scene would be a shame. And the monkey is supposed to take a coin out of a character's hand, so using a toy won't work. And dressing a child up as a monkey would detract from the realism of the show. Suggestions?

In my calculations, you'd need to cut about two pages. Which would make sense if it was anyone but Hornbeck.
