conversations.value: Old Jacob uses his walker to enter the menagerie. He moves to each animal meeting his eyes with theirs. Each animal gives him a look of acknowledgment. He comes to an ORANGUTAN...younger than the one from his Benzini days. Jacob stops. He steadies himself. Jacob lets go of the walker and reaches his arm out to the Orangutan's cage. The Orangutan studies him for a moment. Judging. Jacob keeps his arm extended, which isn't easy for him. The Orangutan then extends his hand through the bars to Jacob's hand. Jacob's fingers entwine around the Orangutan's hand. They hold for a moment. Jacob smiles.
  JACOB Thank you, Ma'am.
