Escape from the Planet of the Apes

1971

Dr Zira: You're the second human I have kissed... (flashback to Taylor) Cornelius: And you are the first.

Dr Milo: Can you read a map? Cornelius: I'm an archaeologist. I can even draw one!

Tailor: May I measure your inside leg, sir? Cornelius: No.

Chairman of the President's Committee of Inquiry: (testing Lewis's assertion that the apes can speak) What is your name? Dr Zira: Zira. Chairman of the President's Committee of Inquiry: There you are, you see. One might as well be talking to a parrot. Except that a parrot would have answered "Polly." Dr Zira: Polly? Chairman of the President's Committee of Inquiry: What did I tell you? Mechanical mimicry. Unique in an ape, vocally, without a doubt, but... does the other one talk? Cornelius: Only when she lets me.

Dr Zira: I don't like bananas.

Curator: (in the museum, Zira sees a giant stuffed gorilla and faints) It must have been the shock! Dr Zira: (reviving) Shock, my foot... I'm pregnant!

Reporter: (before the interview with intelligent apes Dr.Cornelius and Dr.Zira) Dr Hasslein, as the President's Senior Science Advisor, what do you expect to experience from this historic meeting? Dr Otto Hasslein: Fear!
