• [Taylor ties up Dr. Zaius] 

  Dr. Zira : Taylor! Don't treat him that way!

  George Taylor : Why not?

  Dr. Zira : It's humiliating!

  George Taylor : The way you humiliated me? All of you? YOU led me around on a LEASH!

  Cornelius : That was different. We thought you were inferior.

  George Taylor : Now you know better.

• George Taylor : Doctor, I'd like to kiss you goodbye.

  Dr. Zira : All right, but you're so damned ugly.

• Dr. Zira : What will he find out there, doctor?

  Dr. Zaius : His destiny.

• George Taylor : There's your Minister of Science; honor-bound to expand the frontiers of knowledge...

  Dr. Zira : Taylor, please!

  George Taylor : ...except that he's also chief Defender of the Faith!

  Dr. Zaius : There is no contradiction between faith and science... true science!

  George Taylor : Are you willing to put that statement to the test?

  Cornelius : Taylor, I would much rather...

  George Taylor : Take it easy... you saved me from this fanatic, maybe I can return the favor!

• Dr. Zira : But what about your theory? The existence of someone like Taylor might prove it.

  Cornelius : Zira, do you want to get my head chopped off?

  Dr. Zira : Oh, don't be foolish. If it's true, they'll have to accept it.

  Cornelius : [chuckles]  No, they won't.
