Quotes 

• Narrator : When your Uncle Marshall was ten years old, he read a book called Life Among the Gorillas. It was written by an anthropologist named Dr. Aurelia Birnholz-Vazquez, it told the story of the year she spent living among the Western Lowland Gorillas of Cameroon. When Dr. Birnholz-Vazquez came to the local community college to give a lecture, Marshall, the youngest member of the audience, raised his hand with a question.

  Young Marshall : What advice do you have for a budding anthropologist?

  Dr. Aurelia Birnholz-Vazquez : So you want to be an anthropologist?

  Young Marshall : Yep. When I grow up, I want to go live with the gorillas, just like you did.

  Narrator : What she said next changed his life.

  Dr. Aurelia Birnholz-Vazquez : Oh, that's wonderful, but I'm afraid you can't. They'll all be dead by then.

• Marshall : After law school, I'm going to work for the NRDC. They're gonna stop global warming.

  Narrator : [In 2030]  Well... I mean... they did their best.
