I'd better do this alone.
Um, we mean you no, uh, harm.
D- Do you understand?
We will not hurt you.
Poor Dr. Milo.
- Doctor?
- Yes. Doctor. You killed him!
No, I didn't. He did.
One of your own kind.
He's a gorilla.
Well, look, uh, there's nothing to be afraid of.
You see, he's in chains.
He's under sedation.
Do you understand that?
I should. I've been doing it
half my life to humans.
Humans?
I'm a psychiatrist.
Oh, uh, well,
I'm I'm a psychiatrist too.
Do you, uh, have a name?
My name is Cornelius.
This is my wife, Zira.
And I'm Lewis. Lewis Dixon.
Nobody's going to believe this.
- Believe what?
- That primitive apes can talk.
Primitive?
Uh, well, I mean that in our, um...
uh, primitive, um, civilization...
apes just don't talk.
I mean, I think it's important...
that when our primitive
security precautions are lifted...
that the first time
you say anything in public...
you should talk to
what we primitively call...
"the right people. "
May I say something... personal?
Please.
I like you.
I have from the beginning.
- Good afternoon, gentlemen.
- Mr. President.
I'm aware that what I have to tell you
may conceivably create a credibility gap...
somewhat wider than the Grand Canyon.
Nonetheless, it is true.
Yesterday, a U.S. spacecraft...
splashed down
off the Southern California coast.
It was one of two that have been
missing in space for over two years now.
To be exact,
the one commanded by Colonel Taylor.
Have they identified the bodies, Mr. President?
They have identified three bodies, yes.
- All living.
- Taylor's alive?
At the time of their rescue,
through an unfortunate accident...
one of them was killed early this morning
in the Los Angeles Zoo.
Zoo?
What would astronauts
be doing in a zoo, Mr. President?
They are not astronauts,
General Faulkner.
They are apes.
Chimpanzees, to be more precise.
They're harmless, friendly
and, by all reports...
extremely intelligent
and sophisticated creatures.
But naturally, being animals...
they cannot tell us
where the ship came from...
or how they came to be in it.
I have, therefore, decided to convene...
a presidential commission of inquiry
in Los Angeles tomorrow.
The two surviving apes...
will be presented
to the commission for their inspection.
The press will be invited
to attend, not to participate.
I don't believe that we can withhold...
this extraordinary discovery
from the world any longer.
One of the two American spaceships
believed until now...
to have disintegrated in orbit...
splashed down unexpectedly yesterday...
in the Pacific Ocean
off the coast of Southern California...
and is stated to have been manned
