A line from Ari

It's disgusting the way we treat humans. Demeans us as much as them.

Scenes with Ari

6 scenes
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!

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.

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.

Tival

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

Ari

We drown!

Daena

That is why every day we pray for rain.

Ari

I'd like to see your world.

I know. But they'd probably pry you and poke you and throw you in a cage too.

Ari
[smiles]

You'd protect me.

Ari

I can't go home either now. So, maybe we're not so different.

No, we're very different. You care about everybody, but yourself.
