Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes 2024 quotes

Noa, you are a very useful ape. You understand so many things. And yet, you fail to observe one of the most important. [Pause] You cannot trust a human! Here comes your clan to bear witness. You may be fool enough to put your faith in such a duplicitous creature. But I am not. Tell me, Noa, ape to ape, what did Mae have planned for me inside my own vault? Okay. So what do you choose? A human over an ape? Your sweet little Soona... [Soona whimpers] or that stinky human? [Noa yells] Tell me your plan!

Noa

No!

Noa

Proximus was right. Humans will never give up. Not until you claim all things for yourselves.

Mae

It was ours. That silo was a human place, with human things and human ideas, it was not meant for apes!

Noa

What is for apes? Should we go back to silence? We will rebuild our home. Better. Stronger. From what we have learned. If Raka were here, he would tell us his Caesar had much to say on this. Was he right? Can ape and human live together?

Mae

I don't know.

Noa

You are older.

By length of a sunset--!

Noa

Is older.

Humans dominated the planet for thousands of years. Their hubris led them to ruin. A man-made virus gave rise to an intelligent species of Ape. For humans, it had the reverse effect, robbing them of their intellect and ability to speak. As Ape and Human struggled to coexist, one ape rose up and sacrificed everything for his kind. His name was Caesar.

Proximus Caesar

What a wonderful day!

What a wonderful day!

Proximus Caesar

Are we thankful for the words of Caesar?

We are thankful!

Proximus Caesar

Do we bend our heads?

We bend!

Proximus Caesar

Say his words.

Apes together strong!

Proximus Caesar

SAY HIS WORDS!

APES TOGETHER STRONG!

Proximus Caesar

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!

Raka

What did I miss?

Noa

She spoke. She called my name.

Raka

You misheard.

Noa

You said this Nova was "smarter than most".

Raka

Within reason. Some intelligence, to be sure, but--

Nova / Mae

I have a name: Mae. I know where they're taking your clan.

Raka

A tunnel that eats light?

Noa

She saw what I saw. It was in her eyes. She... reacted.

Raka

How?

Noa

As ape would. If Echo comes, she must ride.

Raka

Hmm. Is my young companion showing compassion for our fellow traveler?

Noa

She is slow.

Raka

Horse. [Flatulates his lips]

Raka

They are like you. Would you like to join them? [Noa rides by on horseback] He has his journey. We have ours. Come.

Raka

Will you not say goodbye?

Noa

I must find my clan. The Nova stays with her kind. You raise them up. Follow Caesar’s word.

Raka

To remember... who he was. It is important. [Noa takes necklace and rides away]

You gotta stop thinking about the way things were and start thinking about the way they are. This is a good life, and you have a chance to be a part of it.

Mae

What, and build a world for the apes?

It is already their world!

Noa

Why do you burn your dead?

Raka

What does your clan do?

Noa

Bury them. Cover with stones to keep animals away.

Raka

Burn or bury, it is only important to say "goodbye".

Mae/Nova

He can't have it.

Noa

He stole my village.

Raka

Humans lost their dominance and their ability to speak.

Noa

I trust you only to help yourself, but that could help me now.
