- Ape Soldier: [manning a radar station] A large flying object is approaching Ape City, sir. It's position is now some 15 miles from the center of the city.
- General Urko: [on phone] What is the object?
- Ape Soldier: We don't know as yet, sir.
- General Urko: That figures. None of you ever seem to know anything!
- Ron Brent: Perfect, the Monster Bird didn't hear a thing.
