In a small bar in a small town, people were doing what they did at a bar, getting drunk and socializing. One denizen in particular, a genetically-altered chimpanzee named Caesar, was very much doing that.

"...And my friend, Will, he looks to me as a friend, but he also wants me to be with more of my kind!" Caesar ranted, although it sounded more like "ook ook ook" to the human ear, "God, sometimes, humans can be such idiots."

"I know how you feel."

Turning, Caesar saw a taller chimp.

"And you are?" Caesar asked.

"Thade," The larger ape replied, "I know how it's like to be the smartest damn primate on my planet."

"How would you know?" Caesar replied, curious.

"I come from a planet where apes rule over humans, who... I admit, are cunning in their own right," Thade gulped down a shot, then turned to his fellow ape.

"Yeah, humans can be smart, but sometimes they use their intelligence for the dumbest things."

"Exactly why apes should rule," Thade replied.

"...Y'know, I'm gonna give your idea a shot!" Caesar smiled, and slammed down a $20 bill before running off.

"...I'm still not sure how this whole currency thing works, can I... work this off?" Thade asked, cursing himself for admitting this.

And after about a week, Thade was washing the tables and still cursing himself. Caesar walked it, with numerous bandages.

"Did it go well?" Thade asked.

Caesar flipped him off in reply.
