may I go out and play?

Can't you study in the house?

I could, father, but...

Run along and play.

Where are my students?

I was just in the midst...

of explaining my theory|of time relativity.

If Caesar permits,|I would like my-

Caesar permits.|- Thank God.

You look concerned, MacDonald.

I am, Caesar. I think|that Aldo's hatred...

is not confined to humans.

Look out!

I think Aldo may be|riding for a fall.

If only my mother and father...

whom I was too|young to remember-

If only they'd lived...

perhaps they would have taught me...

if it was right to kill evil...

so that good should prevail.

But you know,|Caesar, history shows-

Oh, no, no. That is human history,|not ape history.

Ape never kills ape.

Oh, here's the list...

of our winter supplies so far.

I've got to be getting along.|I'm starving.

I could eat a horse.|- A horse?

Oh, you remember, Lisa.|They used to eat lots of things-

dead cattle, dead chickens,|dead pigs.

Now we live and chew nuts...

at our master's command.

That will be all, Julie.|- Thank you.

We are not your masters.

We're not your equals.

MacDonald, I believe that...

when you truly grow to know and trust a person,|you cannot help but like him.

When we grow to know|and trust your people...

then we shall all be equals...

and remain so until|the end of the world

Which may be sooner than you think.

You are such a pessimist!|- Or a prophet.

Now that apes are at the helm...

Earth will sail safely through space|until the end of time...

and Virgil says time has no end.

So, you see, I cannot believe you.

Would you believe it|if you heard it...

from the lips of your own parents?

Are my parents alive?

No, but their images|and their voices are.

MacDonald, when you talk|about my parents...

please do not speak in riddles.

I cannot see them.|I cannot hear them.

Armando's only told me|they came out of the future.

They cannot give me knowledge.

Caesar, you can see them.

You can hear them...

and they can give you knowledge.

How?|- Under the dead city where we once lived...

in the archives near|the old command post...

there are tapes-|sealed tapes-

Of Cornelius and Zira...

being examined by officials|of the American government

When my brother was Governor Breck's assistant,|he told me about them.

I know where they are...

and I know that they concern Earth's future,|from which your parents came.

But the city was flattened.

The bomb left nothing.

Except, I suspect...

the archive section.

Indeed, many sections|of the underground city...

were designed|to survive the impact...

of a 10-megaton over-blast.

Well, then the tapes|and pictures of my parents-

Are still down there

Oh...
