- Captain Graylor: I was on guard duty at the Museum of Ape Art History. I was making my rounds when I discovered the Ape-a Lisa was missing.
- Dr. Cornelius: [on phone] I want to report a theft. A valuable antique, a family heirloom. It's a first edition of the collected works of William Apespeare. It was a wedding gift from my wife's uncle, and it means a great deal to us.
- General Urko: You heard her, gentle apes, great hooded creatures with glowing red eyes. Nearly the very same description that's in the Simian Book of Prophesy!
- Ape Soldier: Everything's ready, sir. The impact detonators are set. The minute they hit the wall at the end of the tunnel, they'll blow sky-high!
- General Urko: Then cut it loose, in the name of all peace-loving apes, everywhere!
