A scene from Battle for the Planet of the Apes 1973
Caesar

My friends, I have convened... this extraordinary meeting of the council... in order that I may report upon an action... which I deemed necessary a reconnaissance expedition to the forbidden city... with Virgil and MacDonald as my aides.

Aldo

Why MacDonald? Why not a soldier?

Caesar

Because we went in peace... to what we thought would be a dead city But in case there were some survivors.. we took MacDonald with us so that he could parley with them... and secure permission for our search. Survivors there are... maimed... mutated.. hostile and human.

Aldo

Did the humans follow you here?

Caesar

We saw no sign of it... but we must prepare for the day|when they may come out of the city... when they may come to find us
humans come

Aldo

No humans in council!

Gorillas

No humans in council! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

Caesar

Yes! They are here|because I sent for them. Now that we know the danger... we need their help|and their counsel.

Gorillas

No! No! No!

Caesar

Yes!

Aldo

Come. We shall not sit in council with humans.

Caesar

Now, let us reason together... and make plans.

Caesar Can one murder be avenged by another? Virgil Perhaps only the future will tell. Lawgiver We still wait, my children. But as I look at apes and humans living in friendship, in harmony and at peace, now some 600 years after Caesar's death, at least we wait with hope for the future. Perhaps only the dead. Aldo You will call me by my proper rank...General!!
