A scene from Planet of the Apes 2001
Thade

Father.

Zaius

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

Thade

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?

Thade

Yes.

Zaius

More will come looking for him.

Thade

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.

Thade

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.

Thade

The forbidden area?

Zaius

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

Thade

I will stop him, Father.

Zaius

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