"The way I see it, we've got what... we've got 650 years of knowledge on these guys. If we put our heads together, there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to get out of here and home in twenty minutes."

"I'm at war with the French, as well as the Scottish. Have I forgotten anyone? The Spaniards, am I at war with them?"

"How many lives has been lost on the cutting edge of discovery?"

"Captain Kirk's nipples!"

"It's the perfect woman. Big old set of boobies, no head and a handle."

"Hot coffee!"

"Because if you don't make it, it's your own damn vault. That's a bitch-slap of truth right there."

"Come on, Chaka. Let's work on our mission statement."

"How dare you?! How dare you?!"

"H.M. Wynant - Hoskyns"

"Lousy human bastards!!"

"All keepers and handlers, attention! Attention! All keepers and handlers. There is $50,000 worth of apes in jeopardy. Get them out of here...alive!"

"The king is dead. Long live the king!"

"Where there is fire, there is smoke. And in that smoke, from this day forward, my people will crouch, and conspire, and plot, and plan for the inevitable day of man's downfall, the day when he finally and self-destructively turns his weapons against his own kind. The day of the writing in the sky, when your cities lie buried under radioactive rubble! When the sea is a dead sea, and the land is a wasteland, out of which I will lead my people from their captivity! And we will build our own cities, in which there will be no place for humans, except to serve our ends! And we shall found our own armies, our own religion, our own dynasty! And that day is upon you...NOW!!"

"But now...now we will put away our hatred. Now we will put down our weapons. We have passed through the night of the fires, and those who were our masters are now our servants. And we, who are not human, can afford to be humane. Destiny is the will of God, and if it is man's destiny to be dominated, it is God's will that he be dominated with compassion, and understanding. So, cast out your vengeance. Tonight, we have seen the birth of the Planet of the Apes!!"

"The mere fact of your existence would be regarded as a great threat to mankind."

"Brightness has never been encouraged among slaves."

"If we lose this battle, that's the end of the world as we know it!! We will have proved ourselves inferior!! Weak!! And all those groveling cowards who are alive, when the battle is over, will be the weakest of all!! This will be the end of human civilization!! And the world will belong to a planet of apes!!"

"Roddy McDowall - Caesar"

"Don Murray - Governor Breck"

"Ricardo Montalban - Armando"

"Natalie Trundy - Lisa"

"Hari Rhodes - MacDonald"

"Severn Darden - Kolp"

"Lou Wagner - Busboy"

"John Randolph - Commission Chairman"

"My name is Cornelius. This is my wife, Zira."

"Where we come from, apes talk. Humans are dumb."

"Please, do not use the word "monkey"! It is offensive to us. As an archaeologist, I had access to history scrolls which were kept secret from the masses, and I suspect that the weapon which destroyed Earth was man's own invention! I do know this: one of the reasons for man's original downfall was your peculiar habit of murdering one another! Man destroys man. Apes do not destroy apes!"

"(when asked if he can talk too) Only when she lets me!"
