Rise of the Planet of the Apes

[CHIMP CHATTERS]

You lose.

Again.

I changed your flight sequence.

That's enough.

Pay attention.

Pericles, stop! Or no treat!

How well do I know you?

Hey, there you are.

Was the homo sapien mean to you?

We all know it's just rocket envy.

-Ever consider a boyfriend?

-Do I enjoy being miserable?

-I'll stick with my chimps.

LEO:
Hey.

-I'm teaching him.

-You're teasing him.

He's gene-spliced, chromosome-

enhanced. He can handle it.

When you frustrate them, they lose

focus. They even get violent.

Hey, Pericles,

you're gonna be a daddy.

-Thought I saw a smirk on his face.

-The female was the aggressor.

Hey, Leo. You got a postcard.

Leo!

It's been two years.

When are you coming home?

Not too quick.

I'm enjoying that apartment.

-No, we miss you!

-Are you flying yet?

-Or are the chimps doing the work?

-We got something to tell you.

When you gonna make

that kind of commitment--

MAN 1 :
Captain Davidson,

report to the bridge.

FRANK:
Found it.

HANSEN:
It's moving like a storm.

It is. It's an electromagnetic storm.

LEO:
The digital clocks are stopped.

MARIA:
It's beautiful.

-So is the sun till you get close.

HANSEN:
This is weird.

HANSEN:
I hear frequency patterns.

-Tune them in.

HANSEN:
It's electronic communication

from Earth, from all time.

HANSEN:

The storm's bouncing it back to us.

We'll start with a pass

through the core.

Take radiation gamma-ray reading.

Get your monkey ready.

Sir, this is a waste of time.

We have standard procedures--

-I'm aware of the procedures, but--

-No manned flights.

We send an ape. If it's safe,

we talk about a pilot.

Why don't you just allow me

to do my job?

He's the canary, that's the coal mine.

He launches at 1 6:00.

Just follow your sequence

and come home. Understand? Home.

VASICH:
Stand by. Alpha pod launch

in 30 seconds.

VASICH:
Chart his course

to the eye of the storm.

LEO:

Okay, Pericles, start sequence one.

LEO:

Activate reading systems.

LEO:

lgnition.

VASICH:
Have him start

taking perimeter readings.

-What's wrong?

-He's off-course.

Lock on him.

He can't respond, sir.

-There's a surge in the heart rate.

-Light him up again.

I can't.

He's gone.

He's trained to come back.

You think he's still alive?

-Sir--

-For now, we just sit tight and wait.

I'm gonna run some sequences

to see what he did wrong.

HANSEN:
The signal is breaking up.

VASICH:
He must be panicking.

ALEXANDER:

He'll return to the Oberon.

HANSEN:

I can 't hold him.

VASICH:

That's it, we lost him.

FRANK:
Wanna send up another chimp?

-It's too dangerous.

VASICH:

I won 't waste another pod.

VASICH:

Shut down launch operations.

Sir?

Delta pod has launched.

Your flight is not authorized!

I'm going to get my chimp.

VASICH:
Bring that thing back here!

Return to base!

Never send a monkey to do a man's job.

I got a visual on Alpha pod.

Oberon, come back!

Oberon, come in!

-I'm getting a mayday, sir.

-Alpha pod?

-I don't know, but it's strong.

VASICH:
Put it up.

Mayday! Mayday! Come in!

Request-- We're going down! Mayday!

Delta pod, abort.

[APES YELL]

This one looked at me.

Take your stinking hands off me,

you damn dirty human!

GORILLA BOY 1 :

Stinking humans!

GORILLA BOY 2:

You guys smell!

Hey, where am l?

What is this place?

Here! I'm open! Come on!

Dribble it down! Take it!

GORILLA 3:

Make way! Clear the path!

GORILLA BOY 4:

Get the humans!

GORILLA BOY 2:

You guys smell!

GORILLA BOY 4:

Take this!

GORILLA BOY 1 :
Stupid human!

ARl:
Stop it!

-Who said to throw stones at humans?

-My father.

Well, he's wrong.

-And you can tell him I said so.
