Jane : There. We have your real mother to thank for bringing so many of these wonderful things on the plane. And look, she even marked these with your initials. R.L. I wonder what that stands for. I don't suppose we'll ever know. One day, I'll take you out in the jungle, and we'll pick some flowers and I'll show you the place where Tarzan laid her down to sleep. At least we can be grateful when those dreadful savages found the plane they didn't disturb her.

Jane : My husband has learned not to trust guns.
-
Jane : There's another savage tribe up here on the escarpment: the Zambeles - off to the southwest. It's their custom to use their male victims in a horrible sort of magic.
-
August Lancing : Mr. Sande's been telling us about your husband's marvelous instincts: Like a wild animal.
Mr. Sande : Huh? I didn't exactly say that, Mr. Lancing.
Jane : Oh, don't apologize, Mr. Sande. Tarzan and I have a high opinion of wild animals and their habits.
-
Jane : I haven't often gone against Tarzan's instincts. When I have, I've been wrong.

Jane : [to baby Boy] Now see that you turn on the charm, because I don't think Tarzan approves of strange young men.
[Tarzan has built a rocking cradle]
Jane : Oh Tarzan, how clever!
[to baby Boy]
Jane : Now say 'Thank you, Father! Thank you, Father!'
Tarzan : Tarzan!
Jane : [places baby Boy in the cradle] Isn't he adorable? Um Tarzan, would you watch him for a minute?
Tarzan : [confused] Watch?
Jane : Yes, I have something to do in the kitchen. Would you hold his bottle and see he doesn't choke?
Tarzan : Him no choke!
[Tarzan gives baby Boy his bottle. Boy grabs onto Tarzan's finger]
Tarzan : Jane! Jane!
Jane : What is it, Tarzan?
[walks to the cradle]
Jane : Oh look, he knows you already! He's laughing at you.
Tarzan : Baby hold!
Jane : That's right! Hold him, baby!
Tarzan : Baby strong!
Jane : Tarzan, he's been with us more than a week now. We've got to find him a name.
Tarzan : Name?
Jane : Yes, like Tarzan, Jane, Cheeta. Baby's got to have a name, too. If the Zambilis hadn't taken those men out of the plane, we might have found a clue to his real name.
Tarzan : Baby strong. Call Elephant!
Jane : [laughs] Elephant? With a little nose like that?
Tarzan : Later call Elephant. Now call Boy!
Jane : Oh, but that's not a name.
Tarzan : Boy!
Jane : Well, after all, I am his mother.
Tarzan : Tarzan father! Call boy!
Jane : [picks up baby Boy and hands him to Tarzan] Then go to your father, Boy. And later on, he'll teach you all the things you'll ever need to know in the jungle. Then look out all you lions and tigers and snakes and crocodiles and cannibals out there in the jungle! The king has a son!
