Rise of the Planet of the Apes Page #4

Synopsis: At the story's heart is Caesar (Andy Serkis), a chimpanzee who gains human-like intelligence and emotions from an experimental drug. Raised like a child by the drug's creator, Will Rodman (James Franco) and a primatologist Caroline Aranha (Freida Pinto), Caesar ultimately finds himself taken from the humans he loves and imprisoned in an ape sanctuary in San Bruno. Seeking justice for his fellow inmates, Caesar gives the fellow apes the same drug that he inherited. He then assembles a simian army and escapes the sanctuary - putting man and ape on a collision course that could change the planet forever.

Show me a way out. I'll show you

something that will change your world.

Trust me.

When I was little. . .

. . .I used to sneak outside the city,

where no one could find me.

I can show you.

If we're caught, no one can protect us!

Trust me.

What about her?

-A human child won't survive.

-Bon can take her. Hide her at home.

Check every house!

APE 1 :
Have you seen any humans?

-No.

Hurry!

-Father.

-I'll be right beside you.

Come on!

No!

BIRN:

Stop!

[GROANS]

-Where are the other humans?

-Through the tunnels.

When you find them, kill them all.

Except for the troublemaker.

I want to talk to him before he dies.

Sir, the senator's daughter is with them.

-They took her?

-She's helping them. I saw her myself.

She had no choice.

They threatened her life.

I'll report to the Senate. They'll beat

their chests and ask for my help.

They are weak without you, sir.

-Your dad was brave.

-What do you know?

[SHRIEKS]

Let me go.

Thade will come soon.

We can still go back.

I can't now.

That's where I flew in.

You did that?

No, my retroburners.

-I'm sure he'll explain.

-He can't explain what can't exist.

Talking monkeys can't exist.

Apes.

Monkeys are further down

the evolutionary ladder.

Just above humans.

Calm down, will you?

[SHRIEKS]

-What's wrong?

-Afraid of water. Apes can't swim.

We drown.

That's why every day we pray for rain.

How long can a human

hold its breath underwater?

Thought you were afraid of water.

Two dead monkey--

Apes down at the bottom.

Someone else knows you're here.

-What's that?

-A frequency with. . .

. . .my ship so I can talk to them.

It talks?

With radio waves.

Sorcery.

Not sorcery, science.

I have contact.

They're already here.

They must be waiting for me.

LEO:

It'll lead us to them.

We're in control now.

We're the 800-pound gorilla.

Who are you?

Captain Leo Davidson.

Pilot, U.S. Air Force.

-From planet Earth.

-Your apes let you fly?

They live in zoos and do what we say.

This is hostile.

I got 36 hours. . .

. . .to find my friends

and I'm out of this nightmare.

What happens to us?

Where do we go?

You go nowhere. He belongs to me!

Stop!

You, I've had enough of!

Take it easy, little fella.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I wouldn't hurt my property.

But I'll make an exception.

No harm done. Come here, kid.

Come here.

You're not hurt, right? You're young.

Oh, these kids.

They bounce right back.

Play dead.

-Kill him.

-Slave trader.

You kill him, you lower

yourself to his level.

Exactly.

She is extremely smart.

I've heard her talk

about apes and humans.

"Separate but equal. "

"To each his own. "

Something like that. Right?

LIMBO:

Whatever it is, I agree.
