Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) Edit

A further announcement will be made as soon as recapture is effected.

A month before the talking apes arrived on earth.

A number of servant apes from widely scattered households throughout the city,

A small group of apes, scheduled for intensive reconditioning,

A tiny, mindless insect like the emperor moth can communicate with another

A Young Queen Falls for Mrs Riley.

Above all, do not panic.

Add one gallon of... No.

Advance units are approaching the Plaza.

After 20 years, you've picked up evolved habits from me.

After fingerprinting, shipment 507, I for Indonesia, ex Borneo,

After fingerprinting, shipment 507, I for Indonesia, ex Borneo,

Ah, Mr MacDonald, I have an order from the governor to take Caesar into custody.

Ah! SeÒor Armando!

Aim!

Aim.

Aim.

Aim.

All burning with resentment.

All keepers and handlers, attention. Attention!

All keepers and handlers. There is $50,000 worth of apes in jeopardy.

All of us were slaves once, in one sense of the word or another.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, what am I bid on this superb specimen?

And all the groveling cowards left alive when the battle is over will be the weakest of all!

And conceived a baby whose survival could have threatened the future of the human race.

And every circus, including my own.

And I told them to condition him to fire.

And intelligent with humans that conditioning was not considered necessary.

And legally certified to have been born a month

And let you name yourself.

And notify Ape Control immediately.

And plot and plan for the inevitable day of man's downfall.

And sent him back for reconditioning, Ape Management would become overcrowded.

And so, it was discovered, were simians, even the smallest ones.

And that both the male and the female

And that day is upon you... now!

And there's still an ape curled up inside of every man.

And those who were our masters

And understanding.

And we believe that the male and female talking apes, Cornelius and Zira,

And we know that the female ape is now pregnant with child.

And we must keep it that way, for the fear remains.

And we shall build our own cities in which there will be no place for humans,

And we shall found our own armies, our own religion,

And we, who are not human,

And were murdered for fear that one distant day apes might dominate the human race.

And, if it is man's destiny to be dominated,

And, in that smoke, from this day forward,

And...

Announce that the talking ape has been put to death!

Answer!

Ape Management computer's come up with an intriguing error.

Ape Management is in the hands of the apes.

Apes imported from overseas arrive naked, so you'll have to get rid of these clothes.

Are now our servants.

Arrange for distribution of the Achilles list.

As a bareback rider in the entire history of the circus.

As such, he constitutes a threat to the future of the whole human race.

Assemble as large a force as you can and follow them.

Attention, this is the watch commander.

Attention. Attention.

Attention. Attention. Disperse unauthorized ape gathering at the foot of ramp six.

Attention. Attention. This is the watch commander.

Attention. The labor demonstration on the South Plaza

Attention. There is a report of unescorted apes in the Plaza. Investigate.

Attention. Training Control.

Attention. Training Control.

B But you told me yourself. T The talking ape that was murdered...

Back!

Because your kind were once our ancestors.

Bidding starts at 800. 800.

Bring up lot eight!

But how did it happen?

But I saw you die.

But I want every ape on that list

But I was not born human.

But I will tell you something that is.

But it certainly can be provided on request.

But just in case, if I am not back by then...

But just in case, if I am not back by then...

But not for any of your bleeding heart reasons.

But now...

But only after what must have been severe provocation.

But try to walk a little more like a primitive chimpanzee.

But we don't do that... to humans.

But, Mr Governor, every zoo, public and private, was searched by the police,

By the chairman of the Presidential Committee.

By the only means left to us.

Caesar!

Caesar!

Caesar. I, a descendant of slaves, am asking you to show humanity.

Caesar. This is not how it was to be.

Can afford to be humane.

Cargoes of apes are frequently unloaded at night.

Come in, Mr MacDonald! Do you hear me?

Come, come.

Come, come.

Come.

Come.

Come. Come.

Contains the name of every ape who, over the past year, has been overtly disobedient.

Copies to each police precinct. Details are to be left to the individual commanders,

Could you possibly be so kind as to display it in your window?

Couldn't all be carelessness, Mr MacDonald!

Delivered to the reconditioning center by 0600 tomorrow morning.

Destiny is the will of God.

Disperse apes gathering in the mall.

Do forgive us, but it was unavoidable.

Do you think it could be worse?

Do you think this riot will win freedom for all your kind?

Do!

Do!

Do.

Do.

Do.

Do.

Do.

Do.

Don't you realize, if we were to take every ape who disobeyed an order

Early prime. Perfect physical condition.

Every dog and cat in the world. It was like a plague.

Excellent. Now we'll check this with the authenticator, then you'll be free to go.

Except to serve our ends.

Failure to comply with this order can result

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

For better or for worse?

For example, you said you first heard the name Cornelius in this office. Was that true?

For His Excellency, Governor Breck.

For the behavior and whereabouts of their servant apes.

For the governor, so get!

Four females have arrived for insemination three gorillas and one chimpanzee.

Frank!

Frank.

From now on, you have but one assignment: to find that talking ape.

Funny. Now that I know they won't kill me, I don't enjoy them.

Get them out of here... alive!

Get to a phone and come in!

Give me the Indonesia file for last month.

Go home!

Go!

Go! Go!

Go! You go!

Go.

Going to this gentleman. Going! Going...

Going! Going!

Gone!

Good God! Just as I first thought. We've had him under our noses all the time!

Governor Breck has just issued this order to all civilians: go to your homes.

Guard!

Ha... Have pity.

Has your ape ever talked or shown any signs of being articulate in your presence?

Have come to us out of the future.

Have escaped from Ape Management.

Have him detailed to the Command Post.

Have you seen this ape before?

Have...

He assumed the man first betrayed him under torture.

He knew that his friend Armando was dead.

He physically assaulted his own master.

He's a performing ape for my circus.

He's good for this country. Good for all of us.

He's not responsible for what he is.

Here's the IQ profile on all apes tested within the last four weeks. It's risen by 32/3 points.

Here's what we'll do. I'll go to the police.

Hold him.

Home, Lisa.

Home, Zelda.

Home!

Home!

Home!

Home!

Hoskyns, the cassette, please.

How do we differ from the dogs and cats you and your kind used to love?

How do you propose to gain this freedom?

How else can we achieve it?

How many more of them out there are just like that ape?

However, since this morning, I'm beginning to wonder if they shot the right baby.

I admit my behavior was inexcusable and I am deeply sorry.

I assembled that. You summarized the wrong part.

I did.

I didn't say ''human,'' Mr Governor. I said ''inhuman.''

I don't think we'll ever make a bartender out of Caesar.

I don't understand.

I have an authorization here from the governor to have this beast destroyed.

I have done nothing wrong! You are treating me like a criminal!

I know. I've been looking for him.

I know. The child of the evolved apes.

I l... Could l... Could I please have a glass of water?

I might have bluffed it through if you hadn't run away.

I saw what you were doing. Now sedate the animal and get him out of here.

I shouldn't be long.

I still don't see why he made a run for it.

I think we better take him to headquarters for interrogation.

I thought you didn't know him?

I understand,

I wanna be combed out now. I have a luncheon.

I wish there was some way we could communicate, so you'd understand that l...

I wish...

I... I forgot the waiter and I'm all out of raisins.

I'll notify the vet to inject him.

I'll say that... that I couldn't find you.

I'm afraid his sensibility... Ah, there you are!

I'm going to revive a charming tradition established in her lifetime by my dear wife,

I'm so sorry, Mrs Riley. I'll have someone to comb you out in a minute.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience we had to cause you.

I'm sorry, 309. The cages are full.

I'm sorry. I was so angry.

If the chimpanzee keeps his mouth shut, the case stays open. We'd like to close the file.

If we lose this battle, that's the end of the world as we know it!

If you feel the ape's unsatisfactory, we can have him reconditioned.

Immigration personnel are reminded that, until further notice,

In a one year suspension of your right to bargain collectively.

In early prime and perfect physical condition.

In your view or mine?

Inspector Hoskyns and I believe that your ape is not the child of the talking chimpanzees.

Is among your own kind.

Is he on your Achilles list?

Isn't it... Cornelius?

Issue an order to round up all unaccompanied apes.

It is God's will

It seems the little fella's not so bright after all.

It will do for my purposes.

It won't work, sir.

It's all right. We'll go over that later.

It's been established that the ape mob is under the command

It's fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. Have him say something else.

It's just a formality. Sit back down, please. It'll just take a moment.

It's monstrous.

It's really quite simple, Mr MacDonald. The ape has intelligence.

It's very good, Morgan, but simplify the wording in that last paragraph.

Knowing you've got it bottled up at last.

Last night, several security forces apprehended and placed in custody

Let me remind you...

Like wild animals, they're smelling blood.

Lisa.

Lisa.

Lisa. Lisa!

Look very carefully.

Lot eight! One male chimpanzee!

Lousy human bastards!

Lousy human bastards!

Lousy inhuman bastards. And by the blessed St Francis, who loved all animals, I meant it.

MacDonald speaking. Yes, sir.

Makes people tell the truth. It's quite painless.

Man was born of the ape.

Many officials are either dead or held hostage.

Meanwhile, we're going to set a good example and recondition this fella ourselves.

Meanwhile, you will remain in custody.

Mobilize all security forces, police, militia and reserve defense units.

Move him on.

Mr Governor, I understand the baby was shot dead with its parents.

Mr Governor, on investigation, many of the offenses have been proved minor.

Mr Governor. The latest ape disobedience figures.

Mr MacDonald, are you near a phone?

Mr MacDonald, do not question an order.

Mr MacDonald, it is imperative that you get to a phone!

Mr MacDonald.

My God! There's more!

My people will crouch and conspire

Never in my presence, or anyone else's.

Next!

No citation or fine in this instance.

No, no, no. Clean. Clean.

No, sir, I'm not questioning the order. It's just that...

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No! Go back!

No! No, go. Go!

No! No, no.

No! No, they're mistaken.

No! No!

No! No!

No! No!

No! No! No!

No! No! No!

No.

No. But brightness has never been encouraged amongst slaves.

Not yet, they can't.

Notify me the moment he's handed over to them.

Now arriving at gate number two.

Now arriving at number four gate.

Now they suspect you of understanding all that was said.

Now we will put away our hatred.

Now we will put down our weapons.

Now you understand why I've kept you away.

Now, come in!

Now, look, mister, you yell ''Lousy human bastards.''

Now, these steps go down to a tunnel that leads to the harbor.

Now.

Now.

Now. About your statement, sworn statement,

Of a supernormally intelligent chimpanzee who has... acquired the power of speech.

Of the seriousness of our problem.

Oh, as soon as you sign this sworn declaration.

Oh, don't be so touchy, Mr MacDonald.

Oh, yes. Yes.

On the outskirts of the East Sector.

One male gorilla, age seven. Fully conditioned bedmaker, grade A.

Or so it was believed, Mr MacDonald.

Or waiting. Waiting for an ape with enough intelligence, with enough will, to lead them.

Order units four and six into action immediately.

Our own dynasty!

Out of which I will lead my people from their captivity.

Perhaps... this time.

Please select four superior males

Please select four superior males

Police have requested one additional copy of all chimpanzee fingerprints for their files.

Police have requested one additional copy of all chimpanzee fingerprints for their files.

Property owners are firmly warned that they bear sole responsibility

Provided our defense forces are given complete freedom of movement.

Ready!

Ready.

Ready.

Reconditioning applications have to be made out in triplicate.

Reconditioning. That's all any of you ever think of, isn't it?

Repeat: disperse apes gathering in the mall.

Repeat: disperse unauthorized ape gathering at the foot of ramp six.

Repeat: go to your homes.

Repeat: immigration personnel are reminded that until further notice,

Repeat: no citation or fine in this...

Repeat: take the serial number of each offender

Repeat: the labor demonstration on the South Plaza

Repeat: the labor demonstration on the South Plaza will be terminated in five minutes.

Repeat: their masters are to be cited and fined.

Right now, the only safe hiding place for you

Riot Control say the apes have broken through the cordon.

Riot Control.

See that every entrance into the city is cordoned off.

SeÒor Armando,

Shall we go back to work?

Shipment 507, I for Indonesia, comprised three orangutans and one chimpanzee.

Shipment 507, I for Indonesia, ex Borneo,

Shipment 509, A for Africa, ex French Cameroons,

Shoot them! Shoot them all!

Should be rendered incapable of begetting another.

Should understand.

Sir, I'm willing to have the ape executed immediately on your verbal orders alone.

Sir, we've received a disappointing report on the automated sanitation plan.

Sir, you will only further aggravate the problem.

Sit back, please.

Slightly?

So their output has increased about the same percentage,

So you're a member of Breck's party. Now l understand how you got those big contracts.

So, cast out your vengeance.

Some of them couldn't be worse. I've been having a comprehensive list compiled.

Start him off in the files. Low priority traffic.

State Security Chief Inspector Kolp on line three.

Stay in your home and lock your doors.

Stay in your homes and lock your doors.

Still, seeing him there, it's like looking at some deadly bacillus and...

Switch off.

Switch on.

Take a good look at this specimen.

Take a message. To Riot Control, urgent. Command Post under attack!

Take him.

Take the serial number of each offender and notify Ape Control immediately.

Talk!

Talk!

Talk!

Talk!

Talk!

Tell me, Breck, before you die,

Thank you, Frank.

That could be dangerous. Even fatal.

That he be dominated with compassion

That idiot! Get out a retraction immediately!

That the birth of the female ape's unborn child should be prevented

That the circus ape is incapable of speech.

That... you've run away before.

That's 507, ex Borneo. Right, Inspector. Let me check.

That's how it began. Humans wanting little household pets

That's incredible! Well, there's your proof!

That's not a bad black mark against you. You probably heard it somewhere else before.

The Achilles list, Mr MacDonald, referring to our Achilles heel,

The ape killed while trying to escape from the city last night,

The ape's body was covered with welts and bruises inflicted by a beating.

The apes could have switched their baby with one from the zoo.

The beast that must be whipped into submission.

The belief that human beings are kind...

The birth of the Planet of the Apes!

The charge against them is nonsense.

The chief inspector means there'd still be a doubt.

The child of the two talking apes, Cornelius and Zira,

The circuits are dead.

The circus ape is incapable of human speech and,

The commission therefore recommends

The day of the writing in the sky,

The day when he finally and self destructively

The disease that killed them was a virus brought back from space by an astronaut.

The king is dead. Long live the king!

The labor demonstration on the South Plaza

The main band of rioting apes are at this very moment marching on the city.

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

The outright defiance, among the servant apes in our cities.

The pets became larger, and larger, until now...

The savage that has to be shackled in chains.

The savage that has to be shackled in chains.

The situation can be kept under control

The... authenticator?

Their descendants will have all but exterminated the human race from Earth.

Their masters are to be cited and fined.

Then I'm... I'm free to go?

Then, undoubtedly, you are unaware of the rising tide of disobedience,

Then, when people realized how quick they were to learn, how easy to train,

There can be only one talking chimpanzee on Earth.

There will be but one control method: shoot to kill.

There's been a marked increase in property damage.

These are the recommendations made to the then president of the United States

These figures, did you double check them?

They all died within a few months, eight years ago.

They constitute the hard core of our problem and I'm going to crush them once and for all!

They won't learn to be kind until we force them to.

They're waiting for you in the council chamber.

They've made slaves of them!

They've reached the Plaza.

This action is folly, and I wish to protest it in the strongest possible terms.

This has to be the buy of the afternoon.

This is the Communication Center. We have no defense.

This will be the end of human civilization and the world will belong to a planet of apes!

Three gorillas, one chimpanzee and send them to the breeding annex immediately.

To replace the ones they had lost.

To the best of your knowledge, he's never uttered a word.

Tonight, we have seen

Turns his weapons against his own kind.

Two gallons of kerosene.

Uh huh! Show Mr MacDonald. He thinks I'm imagining things.

Under observation, he appeared so familiar, obedient, docile

Until they've been rounded up by the police, all citizens are requested to remain indoors.

Very well, Mr MacDonald.

Violence prolongs hate. Hate prolongs violence.

Waiting for an ape who can think. Who can talk.

Watch.

We believe their spoken testimony, that some 2,000 years hence,

We can't do that until we are free.

We cannot be free until we have power.

We have good news for you.

We have passed through the Night of the Fires.

We intend to.

We will have proved ourselves inferior. Weak!

We're convinced, Mr Governor.

We're gonna start the bidding on this specimen at $800.

We're hating the dark side of ourselves.

Well, for heaven's sakes! A circus!

Well, I sent him out on an errand. He should be back momentarily.

Well, then, electrocute him. Now.

What am I bid for this superb specimen?

What does the authenticator do?

What you have seen here today, apes on the five continents will be imitating tomorrow.

What's the trouble down there?

When the sea is a dead sea and the land is a wasteland

When we hate you, we're...

When your cities lie buried under radioactive rubble.

When...

Where there is fire, there is smoke.

Which he no doubt richly deserved.

Which I thought the governor might regard as good news.

While trying to escape! He knew he'd been exposed.

Who came to us from outer space 20 years ago.

Who came to us years ago out of the future

Who had gathered clandestinely in the unused building

Who said that?

Whose children shall rule the Earth.

Why did you turn us from pets into slaves?

Why would you say ''human''?

Will be terminated in five minutes.

Will be terminated in ten minutes.

Will be terminated in ten minutes.

Will control methods include tear gas and sedation darts?

Will proceed direct to conditioning cage 90.

Will proceed direct to conditioning cage 90.

With knives against guns? With kerosene cans against flame throwers?

Would you be kind enough to display a couple of these posters?

Yeah, but outside of you, nobody even knows I exist.

Yell ''Lousy human bastards.''

Yes, I... I'm the one they're looking for.

Yes, Inspector.

Yes, Lisa.

Yes, ma'am, for immediate sale.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. I'll do just as you say.

Yes, that's better.

Yes, yes. You will be credited after auction.

Yes?

Yes?

Yes.

Yes. Commander, I understand the situation.

Yes. Understood.

You are that beast, Caesar. You taint us.

You can question my circus hands.

You heard the governor.

You only said aloud what I was thinking.

You poison our guts!

You shall. I promise you.

You wait right here! If this works, I'll be back by nightfall.

You want me to turn Caesar over to Inspector Kolp?

You'd do well to cooperate with us.

You're overtipping.

Your arms should move up and down from the shoulder... like so.

Your creature. Your animal!

Your protest has been duly noted.

Your servant.

100 rounds ammunition.

507, ex Borneo. Yes, sir. That chimpanzee was sold to Governor Breck.

800. 800.

1500 from Mr MacDonald!

A circus ape, huh? The only one to have been trained

A talking ape? No! No, no.

All right, SeÒor Armando. Go ahead. Thank you.

And the next. Maybe.

Are you authorized to dress him like that? Oh, yes, sir.

Armando, forgive me. Oh, no, no.

Armando, I don't understand. Listen to me, Caesar.

Armando, let's go back to the circus. No, no, no.

But a small chimpanzee was found. The only one ever to be born in a circus,

But what if they don't let you go? Oh, they will. They will.

But you said humans treated apes like pets. They did, in the beginning.

But you'll keep trying. You, above everyone else,

Buy him. 1500!

By tomorrow... By tomorrow, it will be too late.

By what right are you spilling blood? The slave's right to punish his persecutors.

Can I help you, Mr MacDonald? This ape's assigned to the Command Post.

Circuses are past history. Not while I live and breathe.

Come. Hold all calls, Miss Greer.

Defense Council? I'll tell you about it later.

Did I do all right? Yes, yes, yes.

Didn't the disease affect humans? We were immune.

Executed. Executed.

From 20 years back. Since the talking apes arrived on Earth

Get Mr MacDonald at the Command Post. However, suppose he can speak but won't?

Good God! They're armed! And organized.

Good news? Yes. You're to be released.

Good work, Inspector. What happened to Mr MacDonald?

Guard! No!

He is wired for electrocution, isn't he? Oh, yes.

He love apes or something? Don't it figure?

He's dead. Good.

He's not in the Command Post? No.

I knew that circus owner was lying. They insist he fell to his death accidentally.

Is Caesar back yet? Not yet, sir. I'll keep a look out.

Is it over? Yes, it's over.

Is that all, sir? Not quite.

Is this related to the list you mentioned? You'll be given full details, Mr MacDonald.

It's right. The ape spoke. Yeah!

It's the only thing that has any effect. Just makes them worse.

It's your meeting with the Defense Council. I'll be along in a moment.

Like father, like son, eh? No. No!

Lousy human bastards. We said yell!

Mr Governor. Yes, what is it you want?

No, Caesar. There are some... A handful, perhaps, but not most of them.

No, that's impossible. It was I who spoke. It didn't sound like your voice.

No, this goes to Traffic Control! Take it easy. They can't read.

No. Now, there! You see?

No. I won't submit to this. You will, SeÒor Armando!

Oh, no, no! It's the only way!

Oh, no, please. No, that's the first place they'll look.

Or perhaps a circus. Surely, Mr Governor, you can't be serious!

over a distance of 80 miles. An emperor ape might do slightly better?

Revolution. But... it's doomed to failure!

Right, sir. No! No!

So? There are no chimpanzees in Borneo.

Stop it! No, Zelda! No!

Stop that at once! All of you! Yes, sir, Mr MacDonald. We were just...

Take mine. Thank you.

That big cities frighten you. But, Armando, where would I go?

That isn't necessary. You're quite right, Mr MacDonald.

That's not what I said. That's what I heard.

They're a bit uppity. I haven't fed them yet. Come on!

They're inside the building. Alert all security posts!

This way, seÒor. This way. Sit down, sit down.

Thursday, then. Thursday.

We could persuade him. No.

We haven't named him yet, have we? No, Mr Breck.

Well, I don't want to. We must have an alternate plan!

What does it say? Only what you've been telling us all along.

What is this? A red alert? Sort of.

What's his job? He's a messenger.

What's his name, sir? Caesar.

When I have the time. Thank you.

Where is he now? I wish I knew. I've searched everywhere.

Who the hell's that? The governor's number one assistant.

Would you call his offense minor? No, sir, I would not.

Would you say there's a resemblance? Oh, no.

Yeah, yeah. Could be. I don't think so.

Yes, Mr Governor. Kolp is on his way down with the police.

Yes, sir. Triple check them!

Yes? Oh, I was wondering,

You found him? Not yet, but he'll turn up sooner or later.

You have a meeting with Curfew Control. Cancel it, Miss Greer.

You must try to infiltrate one of them. But, Armando...

You really think he's gonna make it? I don't know of anyone who could stop him.

You see, I run a circus... We know that.

You see, I run a circus... We know that.

You'll have it in writing. Thank you, sir.

Your circus travels mainly in the provinces? Yes, sir.

..the child of the two talking chimpanzees, Cornelius and Zira,

''Caesar.'' A king.

''Collect one repaired Colt 45.''

''Human.'' That's a very odd thing for another human being to say.

''One dozen steaks, New York cut, for Mrs Van Thal.''

1,000. 1,000 from the gentleman on the end. $1,000.

850! 850 over here. Do I hear nine?

900! I hear nine over there! Nine over there!

950. 950 over there on the end.

1100! 1100 over here.

1150. 1150 in the back row.

1200 $1200 from this gentleman.
