Leading to a CallBack response that carries a new weight. "Take your stinking paws off me you Damn Dirty Ape!" "[[BigNo NO!]]" This is the first time an ape speaks on screen, and it's Caesar's true transition into a revolutionary leader for the apes.

Thus the punchline to this whole adventure is that man destroyed itself to make space for the apes. A tragic end to one of the great Scifi stories of the 1960's.
