• Sheena : See! Even in chains, we can defeat them! Turn your minds back, my people. Remember yourselves a thousand, a thousand moons ago! Bring your bows!

• Sheena : I am not a foolish young girl, Viccasey. The Shaman taught me that brave tales do not always have happy endings. I know what guns can do. I know that you and I may not live to see another sunset.

  [Vic walks up to her and kisses her on the mouth] 

  Sheena : You are an enemy!

  Vic Casey : I'm what?

  Sheena : The Shaman taught me. An enemy is one who takes without asking.

  Vic Casey : I'll ask then. May I?

  Sheena : [quietly]  Yes.

• Shaman : Embrace me now.

  Sheena : My heart goes with you, Shaman, and my fear.

  Shaman : Keep the fear inside you. I carry enough of my own.

• Sheena : You must think I'm a fool. Words are like the wind, they cannot be carried home.

  Vic Casey : They can.

  [plays back her last line on his portable tape recorder] 

• Sheena : We will be safe here for a while. They would never believe you could run over such rocks.

  Vic Casey : Me?

  Sheena : Of course. They know I can run anywhere.

• Sheena : Mouths were given us to eat with. Why did you touch yours to mine?

• Sheena : [looking through a pair of binoculars]  Viccasey, you are a giant!

  Vic Casey : Occasionally...

• Otwani : It's pretty amazing. You've been on my turf all my life, and I've never met you.

  Sheena : How have the Zambouli ever hurt you? Why do you chain me?

  Otwani : I'm your king. I can do anything I want...

  Countess Zanda : [pinches his arm]  Don't even think of it!

  Otwani : I'll try not to.

• Sheena : You will be made welcome in Zukuru. The head man's locust bean cakes, they'll be your locust bean cakes. His fermented buffalo milk will be your fermented buffalo milk.

• Sheena : [amid the ruins of Zakuru, tearfully:]  How can fire burn so hot? How can even stone pots be made into ashes?

  Vic Casey : Gas, probably. Gasoline.

  Sheena : You spoke of that before. The water the wagons drink.

  [Vic nods] 

  Sheena : [pics up Zambuli bow]  You are wrong, Viccasey. Warning is not the only way to save people's lives!

  Vic Casey : What else can we do?

  Sheena : Stop Otwani! Come!

• Sheena : [nude in pool]  Why don't you come in and wash? You're as dirty as a warthog!

  Vic Casey : No, I - I don't think so.

  Sheena : Water frightens you?

  Vic Casey : Well, no, not exactly.

  Sheena : [wades over towards him]  Come in, Viccasey. The water's cold...

  [splashes him] 

  Vic Casey : Oh! Oh!

  Sheena : ...It's so good for you.

  [referring to his formal attire:] 

  Sheena : Remove those strange skins you wear.

  [as he takes off his tie:] 

  Sheena : From what animal did they come?

  Vic Casey : The wild silk moth. It roams in Bloomingdales.

  [unbuttons shirt] 

  Sheena : [pulls in her breath at the sight of his hairy chest]  Fur! You have further!

  Vic Casey : I have *what?*

  Sheena : The Zambuli men do not have fur on their bodies. This cannot be.

  Vic Casey : [driven nuts by the sight of her nakedness]  Would you go back in the water, please?

  Sheena : Why?

• Sheena : [they're captives now]  Thank you, Viccasey.

  Vic Casey : You're thanking me?

  Sheena : The fire in my veins tells me I am still alive. I have not failed my people yet!
