Noa

[edit]
  • He stole my village.
  • [Speaking at his deceased father's grave] Father, I will find them, I will bring them home.
  • [Referring to Mae/Nova] She follows because she is hungry.
  • [Referring to the single letters on the cover of a beginners reading book] The symbols... have meaning...
  • The elders did not tell us everything about this world. They did not tell us because they did not know. They did not want to know.
  • [Noa is sitting on the dock, about to give up hope, but Sun-Eagle lands on the metal rope ancher near him] You come to judge me? I judge myself. I promised our father I would bring them home... I failed. Eagle Clan belongs to Proximus Caesar now. That is the law, [pulls out the Order of Caesar pendent that Raka gave him from his pack. Suddenly, it dawns on him that the original Caesar's ways are better] but the law is wrong! [The Sun-Eagle takes off and lands on Noa's arm]
  • [To Mae/Nova] The more you speak, the less I believe.
  • Proximus was right. Humans will never give up. Not until you claim all things for yourselves. We will rebuild our home. Better. Stronger. From what we have learned.
  • Can ape and human live together?

Raka

[edit]
  • That is not everything.
  • She is smarter than most. We will name her Nova. We name them all Nova.
  • Long before your elders, it was Caesar who taught us of what it means to be ape. He was our leader, our lawgiver. Apes together, strong. Ape shall not kill ape. We, the Order of Caesar, follow his words to this day. I follow. I am now... the last.
  • There was a time when humans and apes lived side by side.
  • Humans lost their dominance and their ability to speak.
  • To survive, remember your strength, your compassion, your mercy.

Mae/Nova

[edit]
  • It was a virus that made apes smarter, and it almost killed all of us.
  • [Referring to the vault] This was a human place, with human ideas, it was not meant for apes!

Proximus Caesar

[edit]
  • What a wonderful day!
  • Are you familiar with the concept of evolution? In their time, humans were capable of many great things, yes? They could level mountains, they could speak across oceans. They could fly, Noa. Like eagles fly! But now, we will learn. Apes will learn. I will learn, from what is inside that vault.
  • They do not understand that this is our time. This is my kingdom! I must destroy their kind, unless we want to live in cages again.
  • You chose a human over an ape?
  • You are going to stand, so that you can bend for your king, before you die!

Others

[edit]
Opening Text: Humans dominated the planet for thousands of years. Their hubris led them to ruin. A man-made virus gave rise to an intelligent species of Ape. For humans, it had the reverse effect, robbing them of their intellect and ability to speak. As Ape and Human struggled to coexist, one ape rose up and sacrificed everything for his kind. His name was Caesar.

Dialogue

[edit]
Raka: [Referring to space telescope] A tunnel that eats light?
Noa: She saw what I saw. It was in her eyes. She... reacted.
Raka: How?
Noa: As ape would. If Echo comes, she must ride.
Raka: Hmm. Is my young companion showing compassion for our fellow traveler?
Noa: She is slow.
Raka: [Walks up to Mae/Nova, stereotypically gibbering then points behind him] Horse. [Flatulates his lips]
Raka: [Riding along with Mae/Nova] Then, of course, there is the gibbon. Very, very long arms. Is most unfortunate that the human can only use its feet for walking. Imagine if you were falling from a tree. You only have two appendages to save your life. But if you were able to use both of your hands... and both of your feet... that’s four times the safety. And I imagine that, if I came across a special... [spots a zebra] What is that? [Walks to edge of gully to spot humans and zebras bathing in river] Horses with stripes. Quite striking. We feared the herds ceased to exist.
Raka: [Walks up to Noa on horseback] Will you not say goodbye?
Noa: I must find my clan. The Nova stays with her kind. You raise them up. Follow Caesar’s word.
Raka: [Takes off necklace, handing it to Noa] To remember... who he was. It is important. [Noa takes necklace and rides away]
Raka: [Walks up behind Mae/Nova observing other humans bathing in river] They are like you. Would you like to join them? [Noa rides by on horseback] He has his journey. We have ours. Come.
Noa: You are older.
Anaya: By length of a sunset--!
Noa: Is older.
[From deleted scene]
Noa: Why do you burn your dead?
Raka: What does your clan do?
Noa: Bury them. Cover with stones to keep animals away.
Raka: Burn or bury, it is only important to say "goodbye".
Raka: What did I miss?
Noa: She spoke. She called my name.
Raka: You misheard.
Noa: You said this Nova was "smarter than most".
Raka: Within reason. Some intelligence, to be sure, but--
Nova / Mae: I have a name: Mae. I know where they're taking your clan.
Proximus Caesar: What a wonderful day!
Apes: What a wonderful day!
Proximus Caesar: Are we thankful for the words of Caesar?
Apes: We are thankful!
Proximus Caesar: Do we bend our heads?
Apes: We bend!
Proximus Caesar: Say his words.
Apes: Apes together strong!
Proximus Caesar: SAY HIS WORDS!
Apes: APES TOGETHER STRONG!
Proximus Caesar: WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!
Lightning: [Laughs upon entering the vault, seeing military equipment] Noa, you are a very useful ape. You understand so many things. And yet, you fail to observe one of the most important. [Pause] You cannot trust a human! Here comes your clan to bear witness. You may be fool enough to put your faith in such a duplicitous creature. But I am not. Tell me, Noa, ape to ape, what did Mae have planned for me inside my own vault? Okay. So what do you choose? A human over an ape? Your sweet little Soona... [Soona whimpers] or that stinky human? [Noa yells] Tell me your plan!
Noa: No!
