• Eric : We'll lose a lot of money if Jane doesn't help us.

  Tarzan : Money?

  Rita : Yes, money - you know, to get clothes and food and ...

  Tarzan : Food, clothes, money?

  Eric : No, Tarzan, you don't understand. Money isn't that, it's ...

  Jane : Of course he doesn't understand. I hope he never does!

• Tarzan : [sees that Jane has been crying]  Jane no happy?

  Jane : How shall I tell you, darling? I love Tarzan. Tarzan is Jane's love. Like the stars over the night. Like the air to breathe. Tarzan makes me alive. But Eric and Rita are my friends. Friends. Like rain at the end of the summer. Like the wind moving the tops of the jungle. I'm yours. You are mine. But I must help Rita. She's my friend. Friend. As Tarzan is Cheeta's friend to help her when she was in the trap.

  Tarzan : Trap?

  Jane : Yes, trap.

  Tarzan : Leguna?

  Jane : No darling, not a real trap. Just as strong. Just as horrible.

  Tarzan : Jane want go?

  Jane : Don't you remember how you went when Timba was in the pit the tribes had dug?

  Tarzan : Jane want go?

  Jane : Tarzan, believe me. When the moon has made safari three times - three times - and when she comes out of the river, big and round, and looks in on us here, she'll find us as we are now. Together. And my safari will be over forever. And I will never go away again.

• Jane : Tarzan, let go. I'm not awake yet. What will the neighbors think?

• Jane : I'm glad you woke me. I was having a nightmare. I was afraid.

  Tarzan : Afraid?

  Jane : I dreamt I was back in London in a horrible, rushing taxi. And the radio was going and I was on my way to play bridge with my three maiden aunts. Thank you for being such a horrible, kidnapping monster and keeping me here.

• Jane : Before you start any more of your usual blarney where were you last night?

• Eric : Jane, why not bring Tarzan with you?

  Jane : Back to London?

  Rita : Yes, of course! If you like it, you could spend half your time here and half your time there.

  Jane : No, Rita. Out here, Tarzan's a king. How do I know what he'd be back there? Perhaps, at first, sort of a freak. And then, as he learnt more about civilization he'd realize he was dependent on his rich wife. He'd never tolerate that. Or if he did, it might be even worse.

• Jane : Rita can have all the silk stockings she wants. Eric can have his career, an enormous yellow roadster to drive his girl about in. There is a girl, isn't there?

• Jane : Rita, there's really no use you camping out and being uncomfortable while you've got a whole house.

  Rita : Your house? What? You mean that...

  Jane : Oh, this little bird's nest? No, I mean our townhouse. And we've got lots of room. You'll be comfortable. Tarzan made it and I designed the kitchen myself.

  Rita : The kitchen? Oh?

  Jane : Hot and cold water. All the latest conveniences.

• Jane : Tarzan and I have a little Garden of Eden up the river. He's already gone there ahead to wait for me.

• Jane : Ooo! Ah! I squealed.
