John is a mimic of uncanny ability.
Yes.
D'ARNOT:
Words became like magic tricks to him.
And in six months, he has managed
to grasp the rudiments of the language.
But now I have to convince him
of who he is.
Indeed, what he is!

You're like me, not them.
You have another family, far away.
One you have never seen. Like me.
Soon I must go to my family.
Why?
Dead.
Who is dead?
Dead.
Dead like mine. Yours dead.
D'ARNOT:
Why do you say that?
JOHN:
If not dead, why you here?
Because I'm lost.
And I'm looking for her.
And my mother looks for me.
D'ARNOT:
His mind was able to grasp
the concept of past and present.
But he desperately resisted the notion
that his mother...
...might have been anything other
than an ape.
JOHN:
No. No, no.
No!
D'ARNOT:
As for the future...
...it was something that
simply did not exist for him.
And I could never
make him understand...
...that I had another life waiting for me
in another world...
...and another time.
D'ARNOT'S VOICE:
John. Mother. Father.
