Quotes 

• [spotting huge footprints while investigating a game warden's death] 

  Jungle Jim : Skipper, this isn't gorilla country.

• [a "gorilla" has strangled Game Warden Bentley in his bed] 

  Jungle Jim : Oh, Jim... Uncle Frank - he's dead!

  Prof. Brandt : The gorilla - did you catch him?

  Jungle Jim : No, but I will.

  Prof. Brandt : How did he get away?

  Jungle Jim : He turned that leopard loose on me. It was pretty smart... for a gorilla.

• [Brant has just shot Gibbs when he "attempted to escape"] 

  Barbara Bentley : Jim, doesn't this, well, doesn't this prove you were wrong about him?

  Jungle Jim : It might. It might also prove that I'm right.

• [Jim, Nyobi and Barbara are securely bound hand and foot in Brandt's cave] 

  Prof. Brandt : It's no use, Jungle Jim. It will take you hours to get loose that way and I don't think you're gonna have that much time.

  Nyobi : If you're going to kill us, do it now and get it over with.

  Prof. Brandt : Really, Nyobi, aren't you being a little melodramatic?

  Barbara Bentley : Aren't you with your strutting and gloating?

  Prof. Brandt : All right, Jim, it's your turn. What have you got to say?

  Jungle Jim : There's just one thing... Brandt, I'm going to kill you.

• Prof. Brandt : This looks like quite an expedition. You mind if I go along?

  Jungle Jim : No, I think it would be a good idea. There's only one thing, Brandt...

  Prof. Brandt : Well, what's that?

  Jungle Jim : If we do catch a gorilla man, try not to shoot him.

• [Jungle Jim's manhunt stumbles upon a tiger mauling a lion in a fight to the death] 

  Prof. Brandt : I thought the lion was the King of the Jungle.

  Jungle Jim : That's storybook stuff. The tiger's by far the best fighter.

  Prof. Brandt : I didn't know that.

  Jungle Jim : You should. You're a zoologist, aren't you?

• Jungle Jim : There's nothing cuter than a baby panther - before they get teeth.

• [last lines] 

  Barbara Bentley : The rangers will escort you back to Shalakari, Nyobi.

  Jungle Jim : And try not to get lost again!

  Nyobi : I won't, Mister Jim, and thanks.

  [Skipper, Jim's dog, appears, contentedly smoking a cigar, causing Jim, Barbara, Nyobi and the rangers to laugh]
