Ari

Stop it! Who told you, you could throw stones at humans?

Gorilla kid

My father

Ari

Did he? He's wrong, very wrong. You can tell him for me I said so.

Gorilla kid

Human lover!

Ari

These "zoos"-- What are they? This word is not familiar.

Our last apes are in zoos.

What happened to them?

Gone. After we cut down the forests. . . . . .the ones who survived. . . . . .were locked up in cages. Used for scientific experiment.

Ari

That's horrible.

We do worse to our own kind.

Ari

I don't understand. You seem intelligent.

Smarter we get, the more dangerous our world becomes.

Ari

I knew it. You're sensitive. Uncommon quality in a male.

Why don't your apes object to the way you treat them?

They can't talk.

Ari

Maybe they choose not to, given the way you treat them.

Apes in cages. Right.

Y'know, I'd like to thank you, for opening my eyes to a brave new world of trade with the humans.

Yeah, no problem.

Farewell, Spaceman! [immediately turns around to a group of children] Now, who wants to buy some aspirin?

Father.

Zaius

I don't have much time. Tell me about this human... who troubles you.

I will capture him with little trouble.

Zaius

No. You're not telling me everything. You believe he is not born of this world. Has he come alone?

Yes.

Zaius

More will come looking for him.

How can you possibly know?

Zaius

I have something to tell you. Something my father told me... and his father told him. Back along our bloodlines to Semos. In the time before time... we were the slaves and the humans... were the masters.

Impossible.

Zaius

Break it.

Zaius
(Thade breaks the urn to reveal a handgun)

What you hold in your hand is the proof of their power. Their power of invention. Their power of technology. Against this, our strength means nothing. This has the power of a thousand spears. I warn you - their ingenuity goes hand in hand with their cruelty. No creature... is as devious, as violent. You must find this human quickly. Do not let him get to Calima.

The forbidden area?

Zaius

Calima holds the secret to our true beginnings. Damn them.

I will stop him, Father.

Zaius

This human has already infected the others with his foolish ideas. Damn them! Damn them all to Hell...!

I came to see you.

Ari

Oh, how sweet. You've wasted your time.

My feelings haven't changed. I still care about you.

Ari

You only care about my father's influence. And your own ambition.

I know about the trouble you caused today. I could have you arrested.
Ari: I'd do it again.

You feel so much for these humans... yet you feel nothing for me.

When you find them, kill them all. Except for the troublemaker. I want to talk to him before he dies.

Sir, the senator's daughter is with them.

They took her?

She's helping them. I saw her myself.

She had no choice. They threatened her life. I'll report to the Senate. They'll beat their chests and ask for my help.

They are weak without you, sir.

Tival

Apes are afraid of water. They can't swim.

Ari

We drown!

Daena

That is why every day we pray for rain.

[in tie-in Pepsi commercial]

Humans! Ha! You don't know your right from your left. An inferior species of primates. You don't even know what tastes good!

Apes! Monkeys are further down the evolutionary ladder...just above humans.

Everything I have believed is a lie! You and your family have betrayed us! I won't help you anymore.
