are being mistreated and tortured.

The only reason I put up with your

nonsense is because of your father!

You want me to stop?

Give up the business.

Hey, I do the job

that nobody else wants!

I don't see you bleeding-hearts

spending all day. . .

. . .with these dangerous,

dirty, dumb beasts.

They can be taught

to live with us as equals.

I'm gonna prove it.

LIMBO:

Don't do that.

Don't do that.

Stay back.

Well, now there's your proof.

Now I'm gonna have to put him down.

Help me.

Please.

Please help me.

You're giving me such a headache.

I don't need this aggravation!

Sell him to me.

Are you crazy? He's wild.

They're both wild.

Then I'll buy them both.

That would be expensive.

That would be. . .

. . .very, very expensive.

I'm sure we can. . .

. . .you know, come to a deal.

You know?

Deliver them to my house.

SANDAR:

Semos, help me!

Rise when your master enters.

Wild humans. . .

. . .in my house.

This one seems different.

How could he be different?

You can't tell one from the other!

My guests are here.

Keep the savage ones out of sight.

Especially from General Thade!

SANDAR:

You'd better be nice to him!

And wash your hands before dinner.

Senator, good evening.

Dear, you look lovely tonight.

But I'm having a bad hair day.

Yet, she spends a fortune grooming.

And I'm worth every penny.

Would you like to freshen up?

We're fine.

-How'd these monkeys get like this?

-How else would they be?

-They'd be begging me for a treat.

-What tribe are you from?

U.S. Air Force. I'm going back to it.

Finish your work.

Please, everyone sit.

We just returned

from our country house.

-How was it?

-Boring.

I find it relaxing being away

from the bustle of the city.

NOVA:

There was no place to go.

Nothing but trees and rocks.

-All you did was nap.

-Exactly.

Time away from politics. . .

. . .is what I needed.

We'd lose ourselves for days

in the forest when we were young.

Now I can barely climb a tree.

Trite but true:

"Youth is wasted on the young. "

Oh, how did I get so old so fast?

Living with your daughter

would age any ape quickly.

SANDAR:

You've been a stranger lately.

I apologize for my lateness, senator.

I stopped to see my father.

-How's my old friend?

-Slipping, I'm afraid.

I'd like to see him more,

but these are troubled days.

The humans infest the provinces.

We encroach upon their habitat.

They breed while we grow soft

in our affluence.

THADE:

They outnumber us four to one!

Why can't we simply

sterilize them all?

The cost would be prohibitive.

Although scientists tell me. . .

. . .these humans

carry terrible diseases.

How would we know?

The army burns the bodies
