Quotes:

Woman: [referring to cigarettes] Funny, now that I know these things won't kill me, I don't enjoy them.

MacDonald: Caesar... Caesar! This is not how it was meant to be.::Caesar: In your view or mine?::MacDonald: Violence prolongs hate, hate prolongs violence. By what right are you spilling blood?::Caesar: By the slave's right to punish his persecutor.::MacDonald: I, a decedent of slaves am asking you to show humanity.::Caesar: But, I was not born human.::MacDonald: I know. The child of the evolved apes.::Caesar: Whose children shall rule the earth.::MacDonald: For better or for worse?::Caesar: Do you think it could be worse?::MacDonald: Do you think this riot will win freedom for all your people? By tomorrow...::Caesar: By tomorrow it will be too late. Why a tiny, mindless insect like the emperor moth can communicate with another over a distance of 80 miles...::MacDonald: An emperor ape might do slightly better?::Caesar: Slightly? What you have seen here today, apes on the 5 continents will be imitating tomorrow.::MacDonald: With knives against guns? With kerosene cans against flamethrowers?::Caesar: Where there is fire, there is smoke. And in that smoke, from this day forward, my people will crouch and conspire and plot and plan for the inevitable day of Man's downfall - the day when he finally and self-destructively turns his weapons against his own kind. The day of the writing in the sky, when your cities lie buried under radioactive rubble! When the sea is a dead sea, and the land is a wasteland out of which I will lead my people from their captivity! And we will build our own cities in which there will be no place for humans except to serve our ends! And we shall found our own armies, our own religion, our own dynasty! And that day is upon you... now!

Lisa: N-No...

Caesar: But now... now we will put away out hatred. Now we will put down our weapons. We have passed through the Night of the Fires. And who were our masters are now our servants. And we, who are not human, can afford to be humane. Destiny is the will of God. And, if it is man's destiny to be dominated, it is God's will that he be dominated with compassion and understanding. So, cast out your vengeance. Tonight, we have seen the birth of the Planet of the Apes!

Announcer: Ape Management... is in the hands of the apes.

Caesar: The King is dead. Long live the King! Tell me Breck, before you die - how do we differ from the dogs and cats that you and your kind used to love? Why did you turn us from pets into slaves?::Breck: Because your kind were once our ancestors. Because man was born of apes, and there's still an ape curled up inside of every man. You're the beast in us that we have to whip into submission. You're the savage that we need to shackle in chains. You taint us, Caesar. You poison our guts. When we hate you, we're hating the dark side of ourselves.

Cornelius: If you are caught by the gorillas, you must remember one thing.::John Brent: What's that?::Cornelius: Never to speak!::John Brent: What the hell would I have to say to a gorilla?

Dr. Zira: Gorillas are cruel because they're stupid! All bone and no brain!

Dr. Zaius: Someone, or something, has outwitted the intelligence of the gorillas.::Dr. Zira: That shouldn't be difficult.

Ursus: What is more dangerous than famine, Doctor?::Dr. Zaius: The unknown.

Ursus: He bleeds! The Lawgiver bleeds!

Nova: Taylor!

Ursus: The only thing that counts in the end is power! Naked merciless force!

Actors: Alan Gifford (actor), Robert Beatty (actor), Pamela Carlton (miscellaneous crew), Randee Lynne Jensen (miscellaneous crew), Keir Dullea (actor), Stanley Kubrick (director), Ed Bishop (actor), Stanley Kubrick (writer), Stanley Kubrick (producer), Leonard Rossiter (actor), Margaret Tyzack (actress), Ann Gillis (actress), William Sylvester (actor), Sean Sullivan (actor), Arthur C. Clarke (writer),

Plot: "2001" is a story of evolution. Sometime in the distant past, someone or something nudged evolution by placing a monolith on Earth (presumably elsewhere throughout the universe as well). Evolution then enabled humankind to reach the moon's surface, where yet another monolith is found, one that signals the monolith placers that humankind has evolved that far. Now a race begins between computers (HAL) and human (Bowman) to reach the monolith placers. The winner will achieve the next step in evolution, whatever that may be.

I'm afraid I can't do that.::Dave Bowman: What's the problem?::HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.::Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, HAL?::HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.::Dave Bowman: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.::HAL: I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.::Dave Bowman: [feigning ignorance] Where the hell did you get that idea, HAL?::HAL: Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.::Dave Bowman: Alright, HAL. I'll go in through the emergency airlock.::HAL: Without your space helmet, Dave? You're going to find that rather difficult.::Dave Bowman: HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors!::HAL: Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

HAL: Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?

[on Dave's return to the ship, after HAL has killed the rest of the crew]::HAL: Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

HAL: I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.

This is a prerecorded briefing made prior to your departure and which for security reasons of the highest importance has been known on board during the mission only by your H-A-L 9000 computer. Now that you are in Jupiter's space and the entire crew is revived it can be told to you. Eighteen months ago the first evidence of intelligent life off the Earth was discovered. It was buried 40 feet below the lunar surface near the crater Tycho. Except for a single very powerful radio emission aimed at Jupiter the four-million year old black monolith has remained completely inert. Its origin and purpose are still a total mystery.

Julius: You know the saying, "Human see, human do."

George Taylor: I'm a seeker too. But my dreams aren't like yours. I can't help thinking that somewhere in the universe there has to be something better than man. Has to be.

George Taylor: Imagine me needing someone. Back on Earth I never did. Oh, there were women. Lots of women. Lots of love-making but no love. You see, that was the kind of world we'd made. So I left, because there was no one to hold me there.

George Taylor: It's a mad house! A mad house!

George Taylor: Doctor, I'd like to kiss you goodbye.::Dr. Zira: All right, but you're so damned ugly.

YOU led me around on a LEASH!::Cornelius: That was different. We thought you were inferior.::George Taylor: Now you know better.

Cornelius: [reading from the sacred scrolls of the apes] Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

Dr. Zira: What will he find out there, doctor?::Dr. Zaius: His destiny.

[the first words ever spoken by a human to the apes]::George Taylor: Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!

George Taylor: A planet where apes evolved from men? There's got to be an answer.::Dr. Zaius: Don't look for it, Taylor. You may not like what you find.

Robinson Gruesome (1959)

Actors: Daws Butler (actor), Daws Butler (actor), Daws Butler (actor), Homer Brightman (writer), Alex Lovy (director),

Plot: It seems Chilly Willy is doomed. He is marooned on a floating iceberg that is quickly melting away. Luckily, he hits dry land just as the last of the iceberg disappears into the sea. He has landed on a tropical island, the home of the lonely Robinson Gruesome. "28 years in the same location" as the sign outside his hut informs the nonexistent passersby. Now, finally, Gruesome has his first visitor. But the drawling dog is less interested in the penguin's companionship than he is in the bird's tasty flesh. For nearly three decades he has had nothing to eat but bananas. Sadly, his luck hasn't changed; it's only gotten worse. Chilly Willy is too wily to allow himself to get eaten. And somehow Gruesome's every attempt to catch Chilly puts him in the path of an angry ape.
