[Prying open Leo's mouth]
General Thade: Is there a soul in there?

Attar: Get your stinking hands off me, you damn dirty human!

Thade's Father: Damn them! Damn them all to hell!

Limbo: Can't we all just get along?

Thade's Father: Damn them!
General Thade: I will stop him, father.
Thade's Father: Damn them... damn them all to hell!

Tival: Apes are afraid of water. They can't swim.
Ari: We drown!
Daena: That is why every day we pray for rain.

Captain Leo Davidson: Never send a monkey to do a man's job.

Limbo: [emerging from his hiding place] Oh! It's over already? I was *just* about to make my move...

Captain Leo Davidson: How did the apes get this way?
Daena: What other way would they be?
Captain Leo Davidson: They would be begging me for a treat right now.

General Thade: Get me the spaceman!

Daena: What tribe are you from?
Captain Leo Davidson: United States Air Force, and I'm going back.

Captain Leo Davidson: Shut up! That goes for all species.

Ari: You know one day they'll tell a story about a human who came from the stars and changed our world. Some will say it was just a fairy tale, but, it was never real. But I'll know.

Tival: They all want to see this human who defies the apes.

Captain Leo Davidson: Our apes couldn't talk.
Ari: Maybe they chose not to... given the way you treated them.

General Thade: Extremism in defense of apes is no vice.

[When telling the human tribes to run away while they can]
Captain Leo Davidson: Look, you gotta make your people understand, it's over there's no help coming.
Daena: You came.

[When confronting each other on the battle field]
Krull: My fight is with Thade, not you.
Attar: Then your fight, is with me.

Captain Leo Davidson: I think it's fair to call this hostile territory.

Ari: It's disgusting the way we treat humans.

Captain Leo Davidson: Time to explain evolution to the monkeys.

Limbo: The young ones make great pets. Just make sure you get rid of them before they mature. Believe me, the last thing you want is a human teenager running around your house.

Captain Leo Davidson: I'm going to get my chimp.

Lt. Col.Grace Alexander: What? Was the Homo sapien mean to you again? We all know its just rocket envy, don't we?
Captain Leo Davidson: Ever consider an actual boyfriend?
Lt. Col.Grace Alexander: You mean do I enjoy being miserable? No thanks, I'll stick with my chimps.

Ari: Stop it! Who told you, you could throw stones at humans?
Gorilla kid: My father
Ari: Did he ?He's wrong very wrong. You can tell him for me I said so.
Gorilla kid: Human lover!

Limbo: Apes in cages... right!

[while holding a gun on Limbo]
Captain Leo Davidson: Play dead.

[to Leo in regarding Earth]
Ari: I'd like to see your world.
Captain Leo Davidson: I know. But they'd probably pry you and poke you and throw you in a cage too.
Ari: [smiles] You'd protect me.
[Leo smiles]

Limbo: [to a group of children] Who would like to buy some aspirin?

[Leo notices the human mark on Ari's hand]
Ari: I can't go home either now. So, maybe we're not so different.
Captain Leo Davidson: No, we're very different.
[Ari looks at him sadly]
Captain Leo Davidson: You care about everybody, but yourself.

Limbo: [Referring to the captured humans] All right, get 'em out and get 'em clean! Chop chop!

Ari: Senator Nado, good evening!
Senator Nado: [Mutters]
Sandar: My dear, you look lovely!
Ari: Thank you, but I'm having a bad hair day.

General Thade: Everything in the human culture takes place below the waist!

Krull: Monkeys are further down the evolutionary ladder,
[groaning]
Krull: just above humans!

Zaius, Thade's Father: [about humans] 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! Don't let him get to Calima!

Captain Leo Davidson: We're in control now! We're the 800 pound gorilla!

Limbo: [referring to cuffs] No, I don't need those anymore. They treated me like I was a... a... a...
[Gunnar looks at Limbo a little menacingly]
Gunnar: A human?
Limbo: [shrugs]

Limbo: [after being cuffed by cuffs used for humans] Ow! These things hurt!

Limbo: How many times do I have to tell you? Wear you gloves when you handle humans!

Ari: [blocking Limbo] You kill him, and you'll only lower yourself to his level.
Limbo: Exactly!

Ari: Hm, I knew it, you're sensitive. An uncommon quality in a man.
Krull: [groans]

Captain Leo Davidson: [referring to Calima] Well, that's where my crew is so that's where we're going.
Limbo: Doesn't he ever stop?

Gunnar: You're letting him go?
Captain Leo Davidson: No, he rides with us.
Limbo: Wha? Wha?
[whinely]
Limbo: This is suicide!
Limbo: [after others move away] Only a human thinks riding through an army encampment can work.

Limbo: Y'know, I'd like to thank you, for opening my eyes to a brave new world of trade with the humans.
Captain Leo Davidson: Yeah, no problem.
Limbo: Farewell, Spaceman!
Limbo: [immediately turns around to a group of children] Now, who wants to buy some aspirin?

Limbo: [looking at captured humans] Are you trying to put me out of business? These are the skankiest, scabbiest, scuzziest humans I've ever seen.

Senator Nado: [to Ari about humans] Next you'll be telling us that these beasts have a soul.

Captain Leo Davidson: The smarter we get, the more dangerous we become.
