Talking to your monkey

 * To talk to your monkey, you need an Amulet of Monkeyspeak, obtained from the Monkey Madness quest.

Baby monkey
Baby monkey: Wanna go play in the trees?

Player: Maybe later - I can't right now.

Baby monkey: Why not?

Player: I can't climb and swing as well as you can.

Baby monkey: You don't want to play in the trees with me?

Player: Yes, I...

Player: Who wants a banana?

Baby monkey: Me! Me! I want a banana!

Player: Phew, crisis averted.

Adult Monkey
Conversation 1

Adult Monkey: So why do you walk so funny all the time? Your Knuckles barely even touch the ground.

Player: I should hope they don't touch the ground at all!

Adult Monkey: Why, though? Is there something wrong with your back?

Player: Yes, it's called good posture.

Adult Monkey: Ouch, sounds painful. I hope I don't catch it.

Player: I don't think there's much chance of that...

Conversation 2

Adult Monkey: I want a banana!

Player: 'I want', never gets.

Adult Monkey: Well, what DO I have to say to get a banana, then? What's the 'magic word'?

Player: If I told you what the 'magic word' was, you'd just ask for a banana again.

Adult Monkey: Of course I would.

Player: And that's why I'm not going to tell you.

Adult Monkey: Please tell me what the magic word is, pleaaaaase...

Player: 'Pleaaaaase'.

Adult Monkey: Fine, don't tell me. Humph.

Conversation 3

Adult Monkey: Hey, you!

Player: Who, me?

Adult Monkey: Yes, you!

Player: What do you want?

Adult Monkey: Where did all your fur and tail go?

Player: I was a bad little monkey that kept asking silly questions, so all my fur fell out and my tail dropped off.

Adult Monkey: Oh no! No wonder you're so mean and grumpy all the time.

Player: Yes, I...

Player: Hey!

Conversation 4

Adult Monkey: On Karamja.

Player: Mighty Karamja.

Adult Monkey: Shaikahan eats, tonight.

Player: On Karamja.

Adult Monkey: Mighty Karamja.

Player: Shaikahan sleeps, tonight.

Player: Woooooo, hoo hoooo hooooo, hey, Marimbo, hey.

Adult Monkey: Marimbo, hey. Marimbo, hey. Marimbo, hey. Marimbo, hey...

Note: The interaction between the monkey and owner can vary, just like any other pet/familiar.

Trivia

 * When Summoning first came out, monkeys were on sale on the Grand Exchange. This was probably a bug and has now been fixed.
 * Conversation 4 is a reference to the song 'the lion sleeps tonight' by The Tokens.
