Robert Franklin Quotes in Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)

Robert Franklin: Mr. Jacobs, please! I am begging you, don't do this!

Steven Jacobs: It would cost a small fortune to run lab test on all those chimps that would tell me what I already know! That they are contaminated!

Robert Franklin: Please, Mr. Jacobs! Lives are at stake! These are animals with personalities, with attachments!

Steven Jacobs: Attachments?

Robert Franklin: Yes.

Steven Jacobs: I run a business, not a petting zoo. Find the most cost-effective way to put those apes down!

Will Rodman: You want me to take him? I can't take care of a monkey.

Robert Franklin: He's not a monkey! He's an ape.

Robert Franklin: 20.

[Will looks at them and starts to head out]

Robert Franklin: Yeah, a perfect score is 15. Doc, what are you giving her?

[runs out the hallway and opens the door to Steven Jacobs' office]

Will Rodman: Chimp number nine, just one dose.

Steven Jacobs: [looks at Will and holds a phone down] Aren't I seeing you later?

Will Rodman: [puts file on desk] We're good to go.

Steven Jacobs: I'm going to call you back. Yeah, all right. Thanks. Bye.

Will Rodman: The 112. It works.

[walks to a large screen]

Steven Jacobs: On just the one primate.

Will Rodman: One is all we need. Full cognitive recorvery. We're ready.

Steven Jacobs: Look are you sure you're not rushing this?

Will Rodman: I've been working on this for five and a half years. The data is clear. We're ready, Steven. All I need is your approval for human trials.

Steven Jacobs: For this, you're going to need the board's approval. There's alot of money riding on this, Will. You only get one shot.

Will Rodman: One shot is all I need.

Steven Jacobs: [sighing] All right. But I'll need to see all the research.

Will Rodman: [bangs on the desk] You got it.

Steven Jacobs: And, Will...

Will Rodman: Yeah?

Steven Jacobs: Keep your personal emotions out of it. These people invest in results, not dreams.

Will Rodman: Okay.

[leaves office]
