Rise of the Planet of the Apes Page #5

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.

Can't we all just get along?

I'm probably just in the way.

So why don't I just get going?

He'll lead them to us.

Then we'll make him our guest.

Cuff him.

Ow! These things hurt.

-What are you doing?

-You could use that against us.

-Who invented that?

-It was gonna save us.

-We're better off now.

-We?

-You're so difficult.

-Like a slave?

-That's not what--

-Shut up!

That goes for all species.

If ever I thought those humans were

capable of kidnapping my daughter--

Don't blame yourself, senator.

You've been compassionate with them.

Look how they've repaid you.

Can you find her?

If you untie my hands.

What do you want?

Declare martial law.

Give me absolute power. . .

. . .to rid this planet of humans

once and for all.

Now is not the time to be timid

or indecisive.

I'm the one who can bring

your daughter back alive.

He's not in the city.

We underestimate this human.

I'll hunt him down.

Your father sent me.

You must come quickly.

Warn the outposts.

Don't let the humans pass.

I understand, sir.

Apart from my father,

I rely on you most.

We are not just soldiers.

We are friends.

I'll depend on you.

Yes, sir.

-So many questions I want to ask.

-Me too.

ARl:

These "zoos"--

What are they? This word is

not familiar.

-Our last apes are in zoos.

-What happened to them?

Gone.

After we cut down the forests. . .

. . .the ones who survived. . .

. . .were locked up in cages.

LEO:

Used for scientific experiment.

-That's horrible.

-We do worse to our own kind.

I don't understand.

You seem intelligent.

Smarter we get, the more

dangerous our world becomes.

I knew it. You're sensitive.

Uncommon quality in a male.

Why don't your apes object

to the way you treat them?

They can't talk.

Maybe they choose not to,

given the way you treat them.

Apes in cages. Right.

THADE:

Father.

I don't have much time.

Tell me about this human. . .

. . .who troubles you.

I will capture him

with little trouble.

No. You're not telling me everything.

You believe he is not born

of this world.

Has he come alone?

Yes.

More will come looking for him.

How can you possibly know?

I have something to tell you.

Something my father told me. . .

. . .and his father told him.

Back along our bloodlines to Semos.

In the time before time. . .

. . .we were the slaves

and the humans. . .

. . .were the masters.

Impossible.

Break it.

What you hold in your hand

is the proof of their power.

Their power of invention.

Their power of technology.

Against this, our strength

means nothing.

This has the power

of a thousand spears.

I warn you.

Their ingenuity goes hand in hand

with their cruelty.

No creature. . .
