[Three astronauts look at the sun which the Planet of the Apes orbits]
Where are we, Bellatrix?
No, it is too white for Bellatrix.
You are 300 light years from your precious planet. Your loved ones are dead and forgotten for 20 centuries. 20 centuries! Even if you could get back, they would think you were something that fell out of a tree.
[Dodge wanders off to look at flora and fauna of this unique planet, but is out of earshot] Taylor [talking to Landon]: Clue me in on something, will you? Why did you sign on for this trip? You volunteered. Never mind; I'll clue you in. You were the golden boy of the class of '72. When they nominated you for the big one, you couldn't turn it down...not without losing your all-American image.
Climb off, will you?
Oh, and the glory, don't forget that. There's a life-size bronze statue of you standing out there somewhere. It's probably turned green by now; nobody can read the nameplate. But never let it be said that we forget our heroes.
Landon [annoyed]: Taylor, I'm telling you to climb off my back!
And there's just one last item: immortality. You wanted to live forever, didn't you? Well, you damn near made it. Except for me and Dodge, you've lived longer than anyone ever born. And with our lovely Lieutenant Stewart dead, looks like you're the last of the line. You got what you wanted, tiger. How does it taste?
