A line of dialogue inspired the name of The Monkees, when Deke (Elvis Presley)says to his controlling managers in a moment of rebellion, "That's what you're selling, isn't it? A monkey in a zoo."
"Wayne: [Wayne has goaded Deke into singing at the Buckhorn Tavern... Deke sings to keep peace, he turns to Wayne after he's finished] Well, you ain't bad, sideburns. Jimmy Tompkins: Now tell me what it is you do for a living. Wayne: I work with my old man in auto accessories, why? Jimmy Tompkins: Well, I usually get paid for singin' as a rule. And I figure you oughta do whatever it is you do for me. So how 'bout steppin' outside and puttin' a new set of seatcovers on my car, huh? Wayne: Why sure, sideburns! What color you want? [turns to the people at his table] Wayne: I figure his color's yellow, don't you? [Deke pulls Wayne out of his seat and starts viciously beating him] Frank: [on the phone] Get the police, quickly! [Deke and Wayne continue until Deke wins by a knockout]"
"Jimmy Tompkins: It's not my future you care about, it's your's. It's what I can do for you. You don't care about me, or about Tex, or about anybody but yourself. Glenda Markle: You've got fifteen minutes to get on that stage and find out if you've even got a future."
