Called her "sister," right.

He did the same to her,

Run right in the cage

And she said, freeze.

First thing, I got to

show you where the p*ssy is.

And he got him some

monkey p*ssy and freaked.

He just went out

of his mind, man.

Man, at night he'd be up

and unlocking the cage and sh*t.

And then they'd run away and

stay two and three days, right.

And you could hear him in

the tree,

Sometimes far away

Sometimes up front

Finally about the third day

He came in and

he was f***ed up, right,

And I left him

with some friends,

I had to go out of town,

I left him with

some friends to watch him.

And he had like a little gas

heater on the floor,

And they turned it on,

and they didn't have no matches,

And they died.

It killed them.

I was hurt, too, man.

I was, cause I came home

and found my monkeys was dead.

I said sh*t.

Cause I loved

my monkeys so much.

I was in the back yard,

I was crying.

And there was a dog that used to

live next door to us,

A German shepherd, right,

Big, ugly,

He would bite anything.

And he jumped the fence

and came over there,

And I felt something

moving my hand like that

And it was him,

I was going to pet him.

He looked at me and he said,

what's the matter, rich.

I said, my monkeys died.

He said, what?

You mean the two monkeys

used to be in the trees,

They died?

He said, don't linger on

that sh*t too long, you know,

I said, Ill try.

Yeah, you take care.

Then he went back

and jumped over the fence.

And just before he jumped,

Richard Pryor

Richard Franklin Lennox Thomas Pryor (December 1, 1940 – December 10, 2005) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, and social critic. Pryor was known for uncompromising examinations of racism and topical contemporary issues, which employed vulgarities and profanity, as well as racial epithets. He reached a broad audience with his trenchant observations and storytelling style, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential stand-up comedians of all time. Pryor's body of work includes the concert movies and recordings: Richard Pryor: Live & Smokin' (1971), That Nigger's Crazy (1974), ...Is It Something I Said? (1975), Bicentennial Nigger (1976), Richard Pryor: Live in Concert (1979), Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip (1982), and Richard Pryor: Here and Now (1983). As an actor, he starred mainly in comedies such as Silver Streak (1976), but occasionally in dramas, such as Paul Schrader's Blue Collar (1978), or action films, such as Superman III (1983). He collaborated on many projects with actor Gene Wilder. Another frequent collaborator was actor/comedian/writer Paul Mooney. Pryor won an Emmy Award (1973) and five Grammy Awards (1974, 1975, 1976, 1981, and 1982). In 1974, he also won two American Academy of Humor awards and the Writers Guild of America Award. The first-ever Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor was presented to him in 1998. He was listed at number one on Comedy Central's list of all-time greatest stand-up comedians. In 2017, Rolling Stone ranked him first on its list of the 50 best stand-up comics of all time. more…
