"Right away, Caesar displayed signs of intelligence heightened intelligence, so I kept him and brought my work home. By 18 months, Caesar was signing up to 24 words. By age two, Caesar completing puzzles and models designed for children eight years and up. At age three, Caesar continues to show cognative skills that far exceed that of his human counterpart. He completed the Lucas Tower in 15 moves, a perfect score. I maintain my hypothesis that A. the green in his eyes indicates that the ALZ-112 was passed genetically from mother to son and B., that in the absence of damaged cells that need replacing, the drug in his system has radically boosted healthy brain functioning."

"If you look back at the original Mary Shelley’s original Frankenstein, he’s as conflicted as that character. There is a real moral twilight to him. Will is a scientist that experiments on animals, and there’s a huge moral quandary to that. I’m sure if you ask anyone in that field how they feel about that, they would never be able to give a black and white answer about if they believe it to be right or wrong. It’s something that’ll keep them up at night. I think that’s where the drama in his character lies."

"We’ve taken a different approach to the origin of the mythology. It was apes being brought into domestic households and being enslaved, but we’ve taken a different approach, which is a more scientific approach with how the apes have evolved. I actually find that more plausible. To speculate on a period of time, we’d be talking about generations and generations of how a chimpanzee could actually evolve into a humanoid creature, which could cause a revolution. I think there needs to be some sort of scientific reasoning behind that, and that’s what we’ve gone for."

"To be honest with you, I think “science-fiction” is called science-fiction for a reason. I’m not a major fan of Arthur C. Clark, because I think his science is so phenomenally researched and plausible, that it becomes incredibly dry as a result. If you look at a Philip K. Dick story, he’s a fantastic science-fiction writer because he’s skirting away from the plausibility factor, because it’s all about story to him. He’s using it for a metaphor in our real world, so then we can understand it in that way. To me, that’s more interesting. I was trying to be as respectful and faithful to real world science as we possibly could, but that’s really not the driving force of the story."

"Yeah, there was a certain… what’s the right way to say this without sounding critical, because it’s not my place, but there was a certain camp to the Tim Burton film that this film doesn’t have."

"(distant shouting) Stupid monkey! NOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOO!"

"You make history, I make money."

"(to Will) I swear, you know everything about the human brain except the way it works."

"It's a madhouse!"

"Sometimes, the new kid on the block gets picked on."

"You think that's funny, huh? [...] You'll learn who's boss, soon enough."

"(shrilly) Daddy!"

"(shouting venomously) You're going nowhere mister! You and your son are going to pay for this! I sure hell aren't falling for you. This is your problem, you made the mess! [...] I'm not through with you! You stay right there!"

"(to Charles) I'm a pilot, I've got to get to the airport - how am I gonna get there now! (explosive) Answer the goddamn question! (calmer) I'm done. The police can handle it."

"(to Will) If I see that animal near my house or my kids again- [...] Damn right, it won't."

"Hey Todd, come inside for breakfast."

"I get more peace in the God-damned ape house."

"Well, I can't say that I approve. They're not people, you know."

"It's okay. He didn't mean it."

"Oh, he's a smart one, isn't he?"

"As for Caesar, kneel down, kneel down and wonder!"

"I love chimpanzees. I'm also afraid of them. And, it's appropriate to be afraid of them."

"(shouting) Caesar, stop!"

"My father's immune system continues to reject the 112 virus, rendering the gene therapy obsolete. His health is deteriorating, and the disease is progressing rapidly. I need a more aggressive virus strain, a faster delivery method, because at this rate...I can't lose them both. I won't lose them both."

"I'm not all gone, Grant. Just, going. There are things I wish would go away. But won't. You know. Things we don't talk about. You never left me. You still made love to me, despite disturbing demands elsewhere. But all those sandals, Grant. All those bare female toes. What could you do but be a part of the time you were a part of? All those pretty girls. Didn't seem like anyone was willing to be left out. I think you did all right, compared to some of your colleagues. Those who left their wives and the women who wouldn't put up with it. I think people are too demanding. People want to be in love every single day. What a liability. And then that silly girl. That silly girl Veronica. Girls that age are always going around saying they're going to kill themselves. But that was that. Promised me a new life. We moved out here, that is exactly what you gave me. How long ago was that?...I'm going, but I'm not gone yet."

"I think all we can aspire to in this situation is a little bit of grace."

"I'd like to make love, and then I'd like you to go. Because I need to stay here and if you make it hard for me, I may cry so hard I'll never stop."

"I think I may be beginning to disappear."

"It's never too late to become what you might have been."

"The ultimate love story."
