Caesar: Can one murder be avenged by another?
Virgil: Perhaps only the future will tell.
Mandemus: I really don't hold withknowing the future, even my own, which is short. I mean, if we knew for a fact there was an afterlife, and that the afterlife was bliss eternal, we'd all commit suicide in order to be able to enjoy it.
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.
Virgil: Teacher only reverted to type under provocation. He... he spoke like a slavemaster in the old days of our servitude when we were conditioned to mechanical obedience. He, uh, he uttered a negative, uh, imperative.
Caesar: Could you put that into words which even Caesar could understand?
Virgil: Uh, he said, "No, Aldo, no!"
Caesar: Now, fight like apes.
Governor Kolp: So speech makes them human?
Soldier: Speech makes them intelligent. And intelligence makes them not human, but humane.
Abe the teacher: No, Aldo, no.
Lisa: I don't want to have to remember my husband. I want to love him now.
Virgil: All knowledge is for good. Only the use to which you put it can be good or evil.
Governor Kolp: Well we're all radiated but at least we're active.
