7 quotes Raka Raka They are an ancient way to store ideas. The symbols have meaning. Apes understood this meaning in the time of Caesar. The Masks take his his name. Twist his words!
Raka Long before your elders, it was Caesar who taught us of what it means to be ape. He was our leader, our lawgiver. "Apes together, strong." "Ape shall not kill ape." We, the Order of Caesar, follow his words to this day. I follow. I am now... the last.
Raka There was a time when humans and apes lived side by side.
Raka Humans lost their dominance and their ability to speak.
Raka To survive, remember your strength, your compassion, your mercy.
Raka [Riding along with Mae/Nova]

Scenes with Raka
5 scenes Raka [Referring to space telescope]
A tunnel that eats light?
She saw what I saw. It was in her eyes. She... reacted.
Raka How?
As ape would. If Echo comes, she must ride.
Raka Hmm. Is my young companion showing compassion for our fellow traveler?
She is slow.
Raka [Walks up to Mae/Nova, stereotypically gibbering then points behind him]
Horse. [Flatulates his lips]
Raka [Walks up to Noa on horseback]
Will you not say goodbye?
I must find my clan. The Nova stays with her kind. You raise them up. Follow Caesar’s word.
Raka [Takes off necklace, handing it to Noa]
To remember... who he was. It is important. [Noa takes necklace and rides away]
Raka [Walks up behind Mae/Nova observing other humans bathing in river]
They are like you. Would you like to join them? [Noa rides by on horseback] He has his journey. We have ours. Come.
Raka What does your clan do?
Bury them. Cover with stones to keep animals away.
Raka Burn or bury, it is only important to say "goodbye".
Raka What did I miss?
She spoke. She called my name.
Raka You misheard.
You said this Nova was "smarter than most".
Raka Within reason. Some intelligence, to be sure, but--
I have a name: Mae. I know where they're taking your clan.
