"2) I was running room but had never scene movie. But I knew a few key things like statue of liberty "it was earth all along" end "get your hands off me" line and that there was character named Dr. Zaius. I asked room to verify this than pitched "So you know that Falco song""

"4) Someone pitches since he's a doctor have his nurse begin the song with "Oo help me Dr. Zaius". I have no idea if there is even a nurse in the movie but sure that's a great way to kick it off"

"In the whole musical there are so many "stupid" or "crazy" things that just worked. We just had to have faith in the comedy of it all and you could just feel how it could all work together but I maintain this approach can work equally well in drama too"

"Btw it was somewhere in the middle of this whole process that David Cohen pitched the "Chimpan-A to Chimpanzee" line which was one of the rare/only times we actually knew instantly that a line would become a classic. His pitch kicked everyone's pitches to a new higher level"
