- Thade's Father: Damn them!
- General Thade: I will stop him, father.
- Thade's Father: Damn them... damn them all to hell!
- Limbo: The young ones make great pets. Just make sure you get rid of them before they mature. Believe me, the last thing you want is a human teenager running around your house.
- [Prying open Leo's mouth and looking down his throat, as though looking for a soul]
- General Thade: Is there a soul in there?
- [to Leo in regarding Earth]
- Ari: I'd like to see your world.
- Captain Leo Davidson: I know. But they'd probably pry you and poke you and throw you in a cage too.
- Ari: [smiles] You'd protect me.
- [Leo smiles]
- [Leo notices the human mark on Ari's hand]
- Ari: I can't go home either now. So, maybe we're not so different.
- Captain Leo Davidson: No, we're very different.
- [Ari looks at him sadly]
- Captain Leo Davidson: You care about everybody, but yourself.
- Zaius, Thade's Father: [about humans] I warn you their ingenuity goes hand in hand with their cruelty. No creature is as devious, as violent. You must find this human quickly! Don't let him get to Calima!
- Captain Leo Davidson: [referring to Calima] Well, that's where my crew is, so that's where we're going.
- Limbo: Doesn't he ever stop?
- Limbo: [looking at captured humans] Are you trying to put me out of business? These are the skankiest, scabbiest, scuzziest humans I've ever seen.
- Limbo: [emerging from his hiding place] Oh! It's over already? I was *just* about to make my move...
- Ari: You know one day they'll tell a story about a human who came from the stars and changed our world. Some will say it was just a fairy tale, that it was never real. But I'll know.
- Lt. Col.Grace Alexander: What? Was the Homo sapien mean to you again? We all know its just rocket envy, don't we?
- Captain Leo Davidson: Ever consider an actual boyfriend?
- Lt. Col.Grace Alexander: You mean do I enjoy being miserable? No thanks, I'll stick with my chimps.
- Limbo: Y'know, I'd like to thank you, for opening my eyes to a brave new world of trade with the humans.
- Captain Leo Davidson: Yeah, no problem.
- Limbo: Farewell, Spaceman!
- Limbo: [immediately turns around to a group of children] Now, who wants to buy some aspirin?
- Ari: It doesn't matter: apes, humans, your planet, my planet, the universe seems only to reward cruelty with power.
- Captain Leo Davidson: Our apes couldn't talk.
- Ari: Maybe they chose not to... given the way you treated them.
- [When telling the human tribes to run away while they can]
- Captain Leo Davidson: Look, you gotta make your people understand, it's over there's no help coming.
- Daena: You came.
- Gunnar: You're letting him go?
- Captain Leo Davidson: No, he rides with us.
- Limbo: Wha? Wha?
- [whining]
- Limbo: This is suicide!
- Limbo: [after others move away] Only a human would think riding through an army encampment could work.
- Captain Leo Davidson: How did the apes get this way?
- Daena: What other way would they be?
- Captain Leo Davidson: They'd be begging me for a treat right now.
- [first lines]
- Captain Leo Davidson: [to Pericles, who is panicking during a simulated space mission] You lost.
- Captain Leo Davidson: [stops the simulation] Again.
- Sandar: Senator Nado, good evening!
- Senator Nado: [Mutters]
- Sandar: My dear, you look lovely!
- Nova: Thank you, but I'm having a bad hair day.
