   Great dialogue:  Koba to Caesar:  Ape not kill ape.  Caesar: You are not ape   
   (then lets him fall to his death off of a tower).  Koba and Caesar had just   
   finished a fight for leadership of the apes.  Earlier, Koba had shot    
   Caesar, then led an ape attack against the human colony in SF.   
      
   When Koba shot Caesar, Caesar remained standing for several seconds before   
   falling.  Why didn't he scream "Koba shot me!"?  After all, he had gotten a   
   good look at Koba before being shot, and remained conscious for long enough   
   that he could have uttered    
   several words.
