• Tarzan : No matter where I go, you will always be my mother.

  Kala : And you will always be in my heart.

• Kerchak : You came back.

  Tarzan : I came home.

• [Tarzan sneaks up behind her to try and scare her like he did when he was little] 

  Kala : Don't even think about it.

  Tarzan : [blows raspberry]  How'd you know it was me?

  Kala : I'm your mother. I know everything. Now, where have you been?

  Tarzan : I thought you knew everything.

• [Kala cradles Kerchak, who is dying from being shot by Clayton; Tarzan slowly approaches] 

  Kerchak : [whispers weakly]  Tarzan.

  Tarzan : Kerchak. Forgive me.

  Kerchak : [shakes his head]  No. Forgive me... for not understanding... that you have... always been... one of us. Our family... will look to you now.

  Tarzan : [shakes his head slightly]  *No*. Kerchak...

  Kerchak : Take care of them...

  [puts his right hand on Tarzan's shoulder] 

  Kerchak : ... my son.

  [Tarzan sadly takes Kerchak's hand in his] 

  Kerchak : [dies]  Take care of them.

  [Kerchak's eyes close; his hand slips from Tarzan's grip and hits the ground] 

• [Tarzan takes Clayton's gun and aims it at him] 

  Clayton : Go ahead. Shoot me.

  [chuckles] 

  Clayton : Be a man.

  [a shot is heard, but not from the gun; it's Tarzan mimicking a gunshot] 

  Tarzan : Not a man like you!

• Jane Porter : [after being caught in a tree with Tarzan]  Now, you stay away from me. Like a very good wild man.

  [Tarzan doesn't listen] 

  Jane Porter : You stay. I'm warning you... My father won't take kind to you.

  [Tarzan is inches from her face] 

  Jane Porter : Now, that's close ENOUGH.

  [Tarzan touches her face] 

  Jane Porter : How dare you...

  [Tarzan grabs her hand, as she tries to smack him, and he notices a tear in the tip of the finger of her glove. He stares and pulls off her glove and stares at her hand. He then puts his hand next to hers to show that he's human, too. He puts his head on her chest to hear her heartbeat. Once he hears it, he pulls her head to his chest so she can hear his heartbeat] 

  Jane Porter : Oh, dear. Oh, dear, oh, dear, OH, dear! Mmm. Yes, thank you.

  [pulls away from Tarzan's chest] 

  Jane Porter : It's a lovely heartbeat. It's very nice.

  Tarzan : [imitating Jane]  It's very nice.

  Jane Porter : [thinking as though he's talking about her hair]  Oh, thank you. I can't do a thing with it in this humidity and - you do speak? And all this time I thought you were this big, wild, quiet, silent, person-thing! Hmm! And why didn't you tell me? I mean, I must say I'm rather curious of who you are. I'd love to-

  [Tarzan shuts her mouth with his fingers] 

  Tarzan : [grunts and points to himself]  Tarzan.

  [Jane looks confused] 

  Tarzan : Tar-zan!

  Jane Porter : Tar-zan?

  [Tarzan grunts happily] 

  Jane Porter : Oh, I see!

  Tarzan : [points to self]  Tarzan.

  [points to Jane] 

  Tarzan : Oh, I see.

  Jane Porter : No, no, no. No. Amph. I'm Jane.

  Tarzan : [mimiking her tone and gestures]  No, no, no. No. Amph. I'm Jane.

  Jane Porter : No, no. Jane. Tarzan. Jane.

  Tarzan : [points to Jane]  Jane.

  Jane Porter : Exactly.

• Terk : Can you believe that guy? Drops us like a newborn giraffe - kerplop! - now waltzes in here and expects us to...

  Tarzan : Terk, I'm asking you as a friend.

  [Looks at Terk with big, soulful eyes] 

  Terk : Oh, with the face and the eyes and the... Ugh! All right! But don't make me do anything embarrassing.

  [Cut to Terk in Jane's dress] 

  Terk : I'm gonna kill him!

• Kerchak : Everyone, we will avoid the strangers. Do not let them see you and do not seek them out.

  Tarzan : They mean us no harm, Kerchak.

  Kerchak : Tarzan, I don't know them.

  Tarzan : But I do. I have spent time with them.

  Kerchak : You may be willing to risk our safety, but I'm not.

  Tarzan : Why are you threatened by anyone different from you?

  Kerchak : Protect this family and stay away from them.

  [Tarzan sulks away] 

  Kala : Tarzan, for once listen to Kerchak.

  Tarzan : Why didn't you tell me there were creatures who look like me?

• [a gunshot breaks the jungle silence] 

  Tarzan : What was that?

  Tantor : It wasn't me, I swear.

• Clayton : [Draws a crude gorilla on Jane's chalkboard and points to it with the chalk]  Gorilla.

  Tarzan : [Takes the chalk and examines it]  Gor-illa.

  Professor Porter : [Excited]  Oh! Oh! He's got it!

  Tarzan : Gor-illa!

  [Proceeds to scribble wildly on the chalkboard] 

  Tarzan : Gorrrrr-illllla!

  Professor Porter : Oh, perhaps not...

• Clayton : I'm so sorry for the rude welcome, old boy, but I couldn't have you making a scene when we put your furry friends in their cages.

  Tarzan : Why?

  Clayton : Why? For 300 pounds sterling a head. Actually, I have you to thank, my boy. Couldn't have done it without you.

• Tarzan : Tarzan. Tar-zan.

  Jane Porter : Tarzan. Oh, I see!

  Tarzan : Oh, I see!

  Tarzan : [points at himself]  Tarzan.

  Tarzan : [points at Jane]  Oh, I see.

  Jane Porter : No, no, no. No.
