:15:14
Why would you say ''human''?
:15:16
''Human.'' That's a very odd thing
for another human being to say.
:15:20
l didn't say ''human,'' Mr Governor.
l said ''inhuman.''
:15:23
Lousy inhuman bastards. And by the blessed
St Francis, who loved all animals, l meant it.
:15:29
- You see, l run a circus...
- We know that.
:15:31
- From 20 years back.
- Since the talking apes arrived on Earth
:15:36
and conceived a baby whose survival could
have threatened the future ofthe human race.
:15:40
Mr Governor, l understand
the baby was shot dead with its parents.
:15:44
Or so it was believed, Mr MacDonald.
:15:47
However, since this morning, l'm beginning
to wonder ifthey shot the right baby.
:15:52
The apes could have switched
their baby with one from the zoo.
:15:55
- Or perhaps a circus.
- Surely, Mr Governor, you can't be serious!
:16:00
Hoskyns, the cassette, please.
:16:05
These are the recommendations made to
the then president ofthe United States
:16:10
by the chairman
of the Presidential Committee.
:16:16
And we believe that the male andfemale
talking apes, Cornelius andZira,
:16:21
have come to us out ofthe future.
:16:24
We believe theirspoken testimony,
that some 2,000 years hence,
:16:28
their descendants willhave allbut
exterminated the human race from Earth.
:16:32
And we know that the female ape
is nowpregnant with child.
:16:36
The commission therefore recommends
:16:39
that the birth ofthe female ape's
unborn childshouldbe prevented
:16:44
and thatboth the male and the female
:16:47
should be rendered
incapable ofbegetting another.
:16:54
But, Mr Governor, every zoo, public
and private, was searched by the police,
:16:59
and every circus, including my own.
