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.
:17:01
- But a small chimpanzee was found.
- The only one ever to be born in a circus,
:17:06
and legally certified
to have been born a month -
:17:09
a month - before the talking apes
arrived on earth.
:17:13
- Where is he now?
- l wish l knew. l've searched everywhere.
:17:16
Señor Armando!
:17:18
Let me remind you...
:17:21
of the seriousness of our problem.
:17:25
Now.
:17:26
- Your circus travels mainly in the provinces?
- Yes, sir.
:17:31
Then, undoubtedly, you are unaware
of the rising tide of disobedience,
:17:35
the outright defiance, among
the servant apes in our cities.
:17:40
Mr Governor, on investigation, many
of the offenses have been proved minor.
:17:44
The ape killed while trying
to escape from the city last night,
:17:47
- would you call his offense minor?
- No, sir, l would not.
:17:51
He physically assaulted his own master.
:17:53
But only after what must have
been severe provocation.
:17:56
The ape's body was covered with
welts and bruises inflicted by a beating.
