:22:02
How can you have any doubt, Dr Zaius?
:22:04
You're aware ofthe reports we've received
:22:07
of strange manifestations
in the forbidden zone.
:22:11
Manifestations which you, if l might add,
:22:15
as minister of science
have been unable to fathom.
:22:19
Twelve. Twelve of my finest scouts
just disappeared. Vanished into thin air.
:22:25
Eleven.
:22:29
Very well, eleven. Eleven.
:22:33
And the twelfth returned with incredible
stories of huge walls offire,
:22:39
strange, violent earthquakes,
:22:41
his mind gone, shattered no doubt
by some un-simian torture.
:22:47
Well, General, l still think you're being hasty.
:22:50
No, Doctor. Decisive.
So we invade, or we stop.
:22:56
- lt's as simple as that.
- And as dangerous.
:22:59
What is more dangerous
than famine, Doctor?
:23:03
The unknown.
:23:28
lf l had any proper sense
of scientific purpose, Cornelius,
:23:32
l shouldn't cut up
the healthy heads of humans.
:23:35
l should dissect the diseased brains
of gorillas to find out what went wrong.
:23:39
And how would you put it right?
:23:41
l'd wet-nurse their babies
on the milk of chimpanzees.
:23:45
The milk of kindness.
:23:47
At least our child when it's born
won't be breast-fed on bile.
:23:52
You know, my dear,
the trouble with us intellectuals
:23:55
is that we have responsibilities
and no power.
:23:59
l think l'll make a chocolate icing.
Do you like chocolate?
