- The Colonel: All of human history has lead to this moment. The irony is we created you. And nature has been punishing us ever since. This is our last stand. And if we lose... it will be a Planet of Apes.
- Red Donkey: You know... Colonel shoot apes when wall's done.
- Caesar: His wall is... madness. It will not save him, anymore than it will save you.
- Red Donkey: I save myself.
- Caesar: Is there anything left of you to save?
- The Colonel: You are impressive. Smart as hell. You're stronger than we are. But you're taking this all much too personally. So emotional!
- The Colonel: We find ourselves on the eve of battle against this beasts, and years from now, you can tell your children: I fought... to protect this world.
- Caesar: If we strive but fail, and the world remains armed against itself, then we've been divided, because the hunger for peace is in the hearts of all.
- The Colonel: The virus that almost wiped us out, that every human carries, will destroy humanity for good this time.
- The Colonel: No matter what you say, eventually you'd replace us. That's the law of nature. So what would you have done?
