旁白：故事讲述了孙悟空如何为自己和他的猴子王国欺骗死亡，使得一些山上的猴子永远不会变老。这些猴子可能已经活了数百年甚至数千年。故事的起因是孙悟空从龙王那里得到了一件宝物——一根可以随意变大变小的铁棒。 孙悟空： * 我从龙王那里得到了宝贝，你们等着瞧我变身后的厉害！我可以变得比树还高！ * 我是美猴王孙悟空，已经不在生死簿上了，你们这些地府的人无权管我！ * 既然你们说我抓错了猴子，那我就把生死簿上的猴子寿命都划掉，让我的猴子猴孙们都长命百岁！ 首席法官： * 你是谁？胆敢擅闯地府！ * 这可能是一个文书错误，我们会查清楚的。 * 既然你不在生死簿上，那我们就查阅一下，看看你的命运如何。 * （发现孙悟空的名字后）你看，你的寿命是342年，死后会有一个平静的结局，你本该在这里！ 猴子大臣：大王，您的旅行真是太成功了！ 守卫： * 我们是地府的守卫，工作很无聊。 * 通常鬼魂都想逃出去，今天这是怎么了？ * （看到孙悟空后）还是别让他签书了，我们快跑吧！ 文员：大人，我找到孙悟空的名字了！ 蒙面人： * 别以为你有什么特别的！ * 你的死期到了，跟我们走吧！
