One Dead Ape?
In the episode "The Football" Episode: #2.1 - 29 September 1999, Parker has to retrieve the nuclear launch device normally carried near the President of the United States. The episode ends with the "football" in the possession of a gorilla, and Parker has to con the gorilla into giving it up in time to stop an accidentally programmed launch.
Can someone explain to me why Parker didn't simply shoot the gorilla? (Aside from the obvious lack of drama and knee-jerk negative reactrions from the sudience.) He's carrying a gun in the scene. Millions of dead people versus one dead ape? Now I may have missed something, but what?
