[the first words ever spoken by a human to the apes] George Taylor: Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!
[last lines] George Taylor: Oh my God. I'm back. I'm home. All the time, it was... We finally really did it. [screaming] George Taylor: You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!
Dr. Zaius: You are right, I have always known about man. From the evidence, I believe his wisdom must walk hand and hand with his idiocy. His emotions must rule his brain. He must be a warlike creature who gives battle to everything around him, even ...
Cornelius: [reading from the sacred scrolls of the apes] Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not bre...
Dr. Zira: What will he find out there, doctor? Dr. Zaius: His destiny.
George Taylor: It's a mad house! A mad house!
[Taylor ties up Dr. Zaius] Dr. Zira: Taylor! Don't treat him that way! George Taylor: Why not? Dr. Zira: It's humiliating! George Taylor: The way you humiliated me? All of you? YOU led me around on a LEASH! Cornelius: That was different. We thought y...

George Taylor: Doctor, I'd like to kiss you goodbye. Dr. Zira: All right, but you're so damned ugly.
George Taylor: A planet where apes evolved from men? There's got to be an answer. Dr. Zaius: Don't look for it, Taylor. You may not like what you find.
[brandishing a rifle] George Taylor: Don't try to follow me. I'm pretty handy with this. Dr. Zaius: Of that I'm sure. All my life I've awaited your coming and dreaded it.
George Taylor: Doctor, would an ape make a human doll that TALKS?

Honorious: Tell us, why are all apes created equal? George Taylor: Some apes, it seems, are more equal than others.
George Taylor: There's your Minister of Science; honor-bound to expand the frontiers of knowledge... Dr. Zira: Taylor, please! George Taylor: ...except that he's also chief Defender of the Faith! Dr. Zaius: There is no contradiction between faith and...
Julius: You know the saying, "Human see, human do."
