The Strength of the Apes' Survival
Foster
You know the scary thing about them? They don't need power. Lights. Heat. Nothing. That's their advantage. That's what makes them strong.
Carver
Malcolm, I'm thinking one of us should stand guard tonight.
Malcolm
With what? They took our guns. If they wanted us dead, we would be dead already.
Carver
Maybe they're just taking their time. They killed off half the planet already.
Ellie
Come on.
Carver
What?
Ellie
You can't honestly blame the apes.
Carver
Who the hell else am I going to blame? It was the simian flu.
Ellie
It was a virus created by scientists in a lab. The chimps they were testing on didn't have a say in the matter.
Carver
Spare me the hippie-dippie bullshit. You're telling me you don't get sick to your stomach at the sight of them? Didn't you have a little girl?
Malcolm
Carver, that's enough.
Carver
How did she die?
Malcolm
That's enough!
Carver
Or your wife, for that matter.
Foster
Carver, you better shut up... Before I kick your ass.
Carver
Okay. I'm the asshole.

Discussing Cocaine's Effects on a Bear
Henry
Have you ever done cocaine?
Sari
What? Why do you ask?
Henry
Just wondering if it has long term side effects. For the bear, of course, if it just did a little bit.
Sari
Well, it could create habit for the bear.
Henry
What if it never wanted to do it again?
Sari
Oh, then it should be fine. But Mama and Papa bear would be very angry, because drugs, especially cocaine, are very, very bad.
Henry
What if they never find out?
Sari
Oh, Henry, we always find out.

Fear and Miscommunication Among Characters
Carver
I shot him. I was scared. I didn't know what to do.
Dreyfus
Jesus Christ. How many were there?
Malcolm
A lot. Like, 80. At least.
Carver
Okay... You're not hearing what he's saying. They spoke!
Dreyfus
That is not possible.
Malcolm
I'm telling you, Dreyfus, they did and it was incredible.
Carver
Incredible? They're talking apes! With big-ass Spears!
Dreyfus
Please! I don't know exactly what you think you saw or heard... But you have to calm down, okay? What about the virus, Ellie? Any chance of contagion?
Ellie
We're all genetically immune or we would've been dead a long time ago.
Carver
You don't know that for sure.
Malcolm
She worked with the CDC. She knows.
Ellie
What are we gonna do?
Dreyfus
I don't know. We need that power.
Malcom
He could've killed us, but he didn't.
Carver
Maybe he kept us alive, so they could follow us. They find out where we are, and they kill us all!
Dreyfus
What do you mean, "he"?
Dreyfus
That's what we're trying to tell you. It was unlike anything you've ever seen before, and the leader... He was remarkable.
Carver
Really? Is that what you thought?
Ellie
It's what we saw.
Alexander
Yeah, it's what we all saw.
Dreyfus
Not a word of this back at the colony, you understand me? Not a word until we can figure out what to do.
Carver
You gotta be kidding me.
Dreyfus
No, I'm not kidding. I don't want to create a panic.
