Battle for the Planet of the Apes - Striving for Equality Amidst Conflict
MacDonald:
If we appear to be lacking in gratitude, Caesar, what have we to be grateful for? If you mean to set us free then free us completely.
Caesar:
What do you mean?
MacDonald:
We are not your children, Caesar. We have a destiny too... as equals.. respecting each other, living together with love.
Caesar:
Love? The human way is violence and death.
Virgil:
Aldo wasn't human... was he, Caesar?
Caesar:
Virgil. You are a good and wise ape.
Lisa:
And you, Caesar,|are a good and wise king.

Battle for the Planet of the Apes - Betrayal Among Apes in Conflict
Virgil:
*Ape has never killed ape, let alone an ape child.
Virgil:
Aldo has killed an ape child. The branch did not break. It was cut with a sword.
Gorilla Soldier:
Aldo! You..... You killed.
Orangutan:
Aldo killed!
Chimpanzee:
Aldo has broken our most sacred law!
Lisa:
Our child. He killed our child.
Jake:
What's the matter with them?
MacDonald:
I guess you could say they just joined the human race.
Apes:
(chanting) Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape! Ape has killed ape!
Caesar:
You murdered my son! You murdered my son! You murdered my son!

Battle for the Planet of the Apes - Equality Through Understanding and Trust
Caesar:
We are not your masters.
MacDonald:
We're not your equals.
Caesar:
MacDonald, I believe that...when you truly grow to know and trust a person,|you cannot help but like him. When we grow to know and trust your people... then we shall all be equals...and remain so until|the end of the world
MacDonald:
Which may be sooner than you think.
Caesar:
You are such a pessimist! Or a prophet. Now that apes are at the helm... Earth will sail safely through space|until the end of time... and Virgil says time has no end. So, you see, I cannot believe you.
MacDonald:
Would you believe it|if you heard it... from the lips of your own parents?
Caesar:
Are my parents alive?
MacDonald:
No, but their images and their voices are.
Caesar:
MacDonald, when you talk about my parents... please do not speak in riddles. I cannot see them.I cannot hear them. Armando's only told me they came out of the future. They cannot give me knowledge.
MacDonald:
Caesar, you can see them. You can hear them...and they can give you knowledge.
Caesar:
How?
MacDonald:
Under the dead city where we once lived... in the archives near the old command post... there are tapes-sealed tapes- Of Cornelius and Zira... being examined by officials of the American government When my brother was Governor Breck's assistant, he told me about them. I know where they are... and I know that they concern Earth's future, from which your parents came.
Caesar:
But the city was flattened. The bomb left nothing.
MacDonald:
Except, I suspect... the archive section. Indeed, many sections of the underground city... were designed to survive the impact... of a 10-megaton over-blast.
Caesar:
Well, then the tapes and pictures of my parents are still down there Oh... Oh, MacDonald... I want to see what they look like. I suppose every orphan does. I want to hear... what they thought and knew.

Battle for the Planet of the Apes - The Morality of Killing in Ape Society
Caesar:
Ah, if only my mother and father, whom I was too young to remember... If only they'd lived, perhaps they would have taught me if it was right to kill evil so that good shall prevail.
MacDonald:
But you know, Caesar, history shows...
Caesar:
Oh no, no, no. That is human history, not ape history. Ape, never kills ape.”
