Lisa

Caesar, on the night of the fires... you swore an oath|that in the future... apes and humans would live together|in kindness and peace. Why are you now making every sort of preparation to break that oath?

Caesar

Because unlike the humans in our city.. those in the forbidden city|are mad... mad enough not to want peace and friendship... but enmity and war.

Lisa

Did they tell you that?

Caesar

Oh, yes. Yes. By opening fire on us without giving us a chance to explain.

Lisa

You were trespassing on their territory.

Caesar

But, Lisa, we didn't know the city was inhabited.
'Lisa: But how, if you didn't speak to them... do you know its inhabitants are mad?

Caesar

Lisa, you didn't see them They're... Oh... They're malformed. Like the freaks in your foster father's circus? Were they mad?

Cornelius

What's malformed?

Lisa

Cornelius, go to bed.

Cornelius

But I'm giving Riki his water.

Caesar

Lisa, freaks are different. These humans are the end product.. of nuclear radiation. They are mutant and they're mad.

Virgil

*Ape has never killed ape, let alone an ape child.

Aldo has killed an ape child. The branch did not break. It was cut with a sword.

Aldo! You..... You killed.

Orangutan

Aldo killed!

Aldo has broken our most sacred law!

Our child. He killed our child.

Jake

What's the matter with them?

I guess you could say they just joined the human race.

Apes
(chanting)

Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape!
Apes repeat the chanting as they approach towards him.
Aldo climbs a tree, pursued by Caesar

Caesar

You murdered my son! You murdered my son! You murdered my son!

MacDonald

If we appear to be lacking in gratitude, Caesar, what have we to be grateful for? If you mean to set us free then free us completely.

Caesar

What do you mean?

MacDonald

We are not your children, Caesar. We have a destiny too... as equals.. respecting each other, living together with love.

Caesar

Love? The human way is violence and death.

Virgil

Aldo wasn't human... was he, Caesar?

Caesar

Virgil. You are a good and wise ape.

Lisa

And you, Caesar,|are a good and wise king.
