In working on Monkey See, Monkey Do: Verbs, we came across a rare find: a behind-the-scenes audio recording from the making of the film!  Before submitting the material to a museum, where it belongs, we've transcribed the conversation: Producer Norman Bean and Director of Photography, Carl, working at the height of their craft. Enjoy!

Norman Bean: Carl, I'd like to talk to you about the footage you shot for our new educational short on verbs. I asked you to film, let's see...a playground, a beach, a softball game, and the Fourth of July parade.

Carl: Ah, yep.  I didn't do any of that.

Norman Bean: I see that, Carl.  It seems you just went to the zoo and filmed some monkeys.

Carl:  Yep, sure did.  They got some pretty good monkeys, down there at the zoo.

Norman Bean:  In fact you only filmed them for about three minutes, and then looped that footage three times.

Carl:  Did I?  Heh, heh.  Well, I was pretty stoned.

Norman Bean:  This doesn't teach anything.  In fact it might make children dumber.

Carl:  Norm, I got an 8-year old. He spent an hour yesterday playing with some tin foil he found in the bottom of his backpack.  Kids are morons.  They'll watch anything.  Let's slap a crappy song on it and head to the strip club.  "Strip" - now there's a verb!

Norman Bean:  Good Lord, I...okay.  Okay, fine.  This is not our proudest day.

Carl:  Look at them monkeys scratch!

After serious consideration of the material, Mike, Kevin, and Bill implore you to - HOLY COW TAKE A LOOK AT THESE MONKEYS!  THEY ARE FREAKING HILARIOUS!

The verbs that I most commonly associate with monkeys are probably a little too educational to be in this short.
