• Harry Holt : Did you bring the dresses and the things that I wrote for?

  Martin Arlington : Everything and a few extras.

  Harry Holt : I suppose you thought I was crazy.

  Martin Arlington : Uh-huh. So, your lady turned you down for a sort of a wild man from Borneo, eh? Its a bit fantastic. isn't it. A well bred English girl living in the treetops with a glorified native ape man.

  Harry Holt : Tarzan's as white as we are.

• Martin Arlington : You know, you're the first woman I ever had to coax into an evening gown.

  Jane Parker : I imagine that isn't your usual practice.

  Martin Arlington : Well, everything seems to go by opposites here. I believe I have this dance, Lady Jane.

  Jane Parker : Oh yes!

  [They begin to dance] 

  Jane Parker : You know, I really promised this dance to the duke of Riverbottom, but as the old fogey isn't here, we'll let him wait.

  Martin Arlington : Thank you. You know, you're a fascinating little savage.

  Jane Parker : Hmm?

  [Martin forcibly kisses Jane. She pulls away, horrified] 

  Martin Arlington : Forgive me, please. I forgot myself. You're... you're so lovely.

  Jane Parker : I blame myself as much as you.

  Martin Arlington : Please don't.

  Jane Parker : Oh, we'll forget about it, if you'll remember that there's only one man that means anything to me. And that's Tarzan.

• Harry Holt : [watches Tarzan and Jane swing on vines]  Going through the jungle is play for them.

  Martin Arlington : That is playing, eh?

  Harry Holt : Mm-hmm.

  Harry Holt : Well, I wonder what they do for exercise.

  [They both laugh] 

• Jane Parker : He... he can't be... gone.

  Martin Arlington : Jane, you must face facts. They're cruel, but you must.

  Jane Parker : Why, he's fought a hundred crocodiles!

  Martin Arlington : He didn't see it. I shouted. He turned, but there was nothing he could do.

  Jane Parker : He might have got away.

  Martin Arlington : Jane, you've got to look after yourself.

  Jane Parker : [runs to Harry]  Did you find any... any... any...

  Harry Holt : Sorry.

  Jane Parker : But there must be some traces. Even if he were... were...

  [crying] 

  Jane Parker : [a native man finds the pocket watch in the river] 

  Jane Parker : [grimly takes the watch]  He said... always!

  [crying] 

  Jane Parker : [Martin starts to lead Jane away] 

  Jane Parker : Wait.

  [She turns and drops the pocket watch into the river] 

  Jane Parker : Take me away.

• Martin Arlington : But he's got to understand. Every penny we've got in the world is tied up in this.

  Jane Parker : Tarzan knows nothing about money. That wouldn't mean anything to him.

  Harry Holt : Well, what's the harm? They're all dead.

  [referring to the elephants in the Elephants Graveyard] 

  Jane Parker : It's as though somebody asked you to rob a graveyard back home.

  Martin Arlington : But these are animals. They're not humans. This is different.

  Jane Parker : Not to him.

• Martin Arlington : Dead men can't give orders.

  Harry Holt : Yes they can.
