It was a virus that made apes smarter, and it almost killed all of us.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes quotes
Page 2 of 3Long 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.
Mae, you are familiar with the concept of evolution? That is the human label, yeah? The advancement that I crave requires time. Vast amounts of time that I do not have. Unfortunately, I am but a mortal ape. So this is why I need to get the knowledge inside that vault. I believe it will deliver instant evolution. Hm. Noa. You don't undertand. In their time, humans were capable of many great things, yes? They could level mountains. They could speak across oceans. They could fly, Noa. Like eagles fly! But now, we will learn. Apes will learn. I will learn, from what is inside that vault.
Maybe stronger tomorrow.
Noa, a kingdom for apes. Humans can never be trusted. Where there are two that can speak, there must be more. Mae has come here to claim the tools inside my vault. Tools that make humans strong and make them dangerous. That is why I must have them first. Yeah? They do not understand that this is our time. This is my kingdom! I must destroy their kind, unless we want to live in cages again.
Noa... You showed so much promise. You are going to stand, so that you can bend for your king, before you die!
She is smarter than most. We will name her Nova. We name them all Nova.
That is not everything.
The elders did not tell us everything about this world. They did not tell us because they did not know. They did not want to know.
There was a time when humans and apes lived side by side.
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!
To survive, remember your strength, your compassion, your mercy.
What a wonderful day!
[Noa is sitting on the dock, about to give up hope, but Sun-Eagle lands on the metal rope ancher near him]
You come to judge me? I judge myself. I promised our father I would bring them home... I failed. Eagle Clan belongs to Proximus Caesar now. That is the law, [pulls out the Order of Caesar pendent that Raka gave him from his pack. Suddenly, it dawns on him that the original Caesar's ways are better] but the law is wrong! [The Sun-Eagle takes off and lands on Noa's arm]
