Armando: After twenty years, you've picked up evolved habits from me. That could be dangerous...even fatal.
Caesar: Armando, I don't understand.
Armando: Listen to me, Caesar. There can be only one talking chimpanzee on Earth. The child of the two talking apes, Cornelius and Zira, who came to us years ago out of the future and were brutally murdered for fear that one very distant day apes might dominate the human race.
Caesar: Yeah, but outside of you, nobody even knows I exist.
Armando: And we must keep it that way for the fear remains. The mere fact of your existence would be regarded as a great threat to mankind.
Caesar: Armando, I don't understand.

Armando: (referring to the dogs and cats) They all died within a few months, eight years ago. Every dog and cat in the entire world. It was like a plague. The disease that killed them was a mysterious virus brought back from outer space by one of the astronauts.
Caesar: Didn't the disease affect humans?
Armando: No, no. We were immune. And so, it was discovered, were simians, even the smallest ones. That's how it all began. Humans wanting little household pets to replace the ones they had lost. Then, when people realized how quick they were to learn, how easy to train, the pets became larger, and larger, until now.
Caesar: It's monstrous.
Armando: Now you understand why I've kept you away.
