Dr. Zaius, would an ape make a human doll....that talks?

Tell me something. Are you fellas really with the Internal Revenue Service?

A policeman's job is only easy in a police state...

All I can say, McKay, is you take a hell of a long time to say goodbye.

Soylent Green is people!

They blew it up! God, damn you! Damn you all to hell!!!

Go, proclaim liberty throughout all the land, and to all the inhabitants thereof.

Go, proclaim liberty throughout all the land and to all the inhabitants thereof.

The Lord of Hosts will do battle for us. Behold His mighty hand.

There is a beauty beyond the senses, Nefretiri. Beauty like the quiet of green valleys and still waters. Beauty of the spirit that you cannot understand.

It would take more than a man to lead the slaves from bondage. It would take a god.

What change is there in me? Egyptian or Hebrew I am still Moses. These are the same hands, the same arms, the same face that were mine a moment ago.

You will be king of Egypt and I will be your footstool!

The man stupid enough to use you as a footstool would not be wise enough to rule Egypt.

Great one, I bring you Ethiopia.

[Trumpets play, the two Ethiopians stepped forward] Command them to kneel before Pharaoh.

Command them to kneel before Pharaoh.

Command what you have conquered, my brother.

[Moses then put a brick on empty weight scale, on opposite side of Rameses' weight scale, of accusations, and then said] A city is made of brick, Pharoah. The strong make many. The weak make few. The dead make none. So much for accusations.

Let my people go!

Does your god live on this mountain?

Sinai is His high place, His temple.

If this god is God, he would live on every mountain, in every valley. He would not be the god of Ishmael or Israel alone, but of all men. It is said he created all men in his image. He would dwell in every heart, every mind, every soul

No son could have more love for you than I.

Then why are you forcing me to destroy you? What evil has done this to you?

The evil that men should turn their brothers into beasts of burden, to be stripped of spirit, and hope, and strength - only because they are of another race, another creed. If there is a god, he did not mean this to be so.

Those who do not live by the law...shall die by the law!

Those who do not live by the law... shall die by the law!

You maniacs! You blew it up!

What is your name, forty-one?

Judah Ben Hur.

"This is the Earth, at a time when dinosaurs roamed a lush & fertile planet. But the piece of rock just six miles wide changed all that. It hit with the force of ten thousand nuclear weapons. A trillion tons of dirt & rock hurtled into the atmosphere creating a suffocating blanket of dust the Sun was powerless to penetrate for a thousand years. It happened before, it will happen again, it's just a question of when."

Men shall be ruled by Law, not by the will of other men.

I am, that I am.

I want that bear!

Failure is not an opinion.

And I felt his voice take the sword out of my hand.

I can't help thinking somewhere in the universe there has to be something better than man. Has to be.

Clever women make me nervous.

[of Christina Pagniacci] I honestly believe that woman would eat her own young.

I can't figure this Simonson. If I was like him. Rich. Important... ...plenty to eat... ...real bourbon... ...and a girl like you... ...you wouldn't see me in church.

There was a world once, you punk.

There was a world, once, you punk.

Yes, so you keep telling me.

Yes, so you keep telling me.

I was there. I can prove it.

I was there. I can prove it.

I know, I know. When you were young, people were better.

I know, I know. When you were young, people were better.

Aw, nuts. People were always rotten. But the world was beautiful.

Aw, nuts. People were always rotten. But the world 'was' beautiful.

I see you've brought the female of your species. I didn't realize that man could be monogamous.

On this planet, it's easy.

It's a madhouse!

It's a mad house! A mad house!

[stops hosing Taylor]

A MADHOUSE!!!

I like Pizza

I like pizza.

Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!

And when the Mahdi floats me down the Nile, the government will assume a pained expression and say to Her Majesty and the churchmen and the antislavery people "Well, we did the best we could. We sent Gordon."

Precisely.

And that will be the end of Gordon. But not of Gladstone.

In a nutshell!

Well I must say, Mr. Gladstone ... you're hardly a bore.

Well I must say, Mr. Gladstone, you're hardly a bore.

They blew it up! God, damn you! Damn you all to hell!!!

Take your sticky paws off me, you damn dirty ape!

Soylent Green is People!!!!
