Quotes
-
Harry Holt : Jane, do you know what he wants? What this ape wants?
Jane : He's not an ape!
Harry Holt : He is an ape. He lives like an ape, he kills like an ape. But do you understand what he wants?
Jane : You know everything...
Harry Holt : Well, this ape son of a bitch wants you.
Parker : I'm gonna catch that animal son of a bitch, Mr Holt!
-
Jane : [to Tarzan] Don't you know how to smile? Do you know you're more beautiful than any girl I know? Oh, you're a lot more! Come here. Come here!
-
Parker : I am sorry.
Jane : That's all? That's all you have to say?
Parker : No, no, that is not all I have to say. There are a million, trillion things I want to say, but all I can say is, I loved her so.
Jane : Oh. I see. That is a good reason to leave.
Parker : You don't find me a very pretty sight, do you?
Jane : [shakes her head] I don't find you a pretty sight. Because of you, I was born. But you only came to me through newspaper clippings telling me how you were out trading your soul away for one more grand adventure. Mother's estate makes me very, very rich. I could buy everything you own. Buy it right out from under you.
Parker : [yells] Who the bloody hell do you think you're talking to?
Jane : James Parker. You are James Parker?
Parker : [gives her a charismatic smile] There's not another.
Jane : [unimpressed] Like a trophy, you posed with mother... and child. And then you were gone. Now, doesn't that make you a first-class bastard?
Parker : But I carry that same picture. There has not been a day in your life that I have not carried that same picture. She was so weak. I mean, your conception almost killed her. Don't you understand that? If I had held her too long... if I had loved her too much. So frail. So very... fragile.
[strokes Jane's cheek]
Parker : God, how I loved you.
-
Harry Holt : You're very beautiful and very able, also.
Jane : Thank you.
Harry Holt : Ballooning over the Alps. You could live on a thrill like that for a long time. I wish I'd made that trip.
Jane : Does it bother you that I did?
Harry Holt : I'm sorry. I don't understand?
Jane : But, of course you do! It's a man's world. Women aren't allowed to be participants. We're here for your pleasure, not for ours.
-
Jane : I don't dislike men. I envy them. I envy your freedom. I resent not having the same.
-
Jane : What was it?
Parker : I told you. I believe it's Tarzan.
Jane : But, I don't know what Tarzan is?
Harry Holt : It's a great white ape. It's supposedly ten feet tall.
Parker : A great white man, supposedly one hundred feet tall!
Harry Holt : Well, it's a story. It's half man, half ape. Gigantic. White.
-
Jane : I'm quite capable of taking a bath without assistance.
-
Jane : Stop! Please, stop. Please! Oh! Oh. Stop! Please, stop! Oh, mother of God, stop. Please!
-
Jane : Oh, my God! You scared me! And I scared you.
-
Jane : You don't understand a word I say. Do you? Oh, what are we gonna do? Oh!
-
Jane : [peeling a banana] James Parker, you were wrong! I'm still a virgin. Now, I don't know if that's good or bad? What are you? You'd have to be. I mean, there's no one. You'd have to be, wouldn't you?
[bites the banana]
Jane : It's a strange problem. God, if the girls back home could see me now!
[offers a piece of the banana to Tarzan]
-
Jane : I feel so strange! Like I'm reading this in a book! But, I'm not. I'm really here. But, I don't believe it. I don't know whether to laugh or cry or just turn to the next page. God, I sure hope it has a happy ending!
-
Jane : Come on. Here we go! Now, don't stop me!
-
Jane : [Tarzan starts touching Jane] Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! The chapter always ended before this part. Mmm. James Parker, you might be right. He might want me. He just might. James Parker, it's wicked, I know; but, I hope you're right.
-
Jane : They're painting me.
Parker : Jane.
Jane : They're painting my hair.
Parker : Jane.
Jane : They're painting it white.
Parker : Jane! Jane, listen to me. Jane, do you like merry-go-rounds?
Jane : Merry-go-rounds?
Parker : Yes. We will take a ride on one. You and I together. We'll bring Mr. Holt with us. Mr. Holt, you will take a ride with us on a merry-go-round. We'll go round and round the heavens of the Greek gods! Jane, I see - Aphrodite. And she's not half as beautiful as you are! Who do you see Jane?
Jane : Who do I see? Oh, God, who do I see? Who do I see? I see Zeus.
Parker : Ah, Zeus.
Jane : No, I only see them smearing me with paint!
-
Jane : Oh, God, tell me a story. Be a good daddy, tell me a story and make him go away.
Parker : Yes, I will, Jane. I'll tell you a story. A story. A story. Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall! Humpty Dumpty had a great fall! All the king's horses and all the kings men. Could not put this bloody Humpty Dumpty together again!
-
Jane : Oh, my God, he's coming!
Parker : Now, Jane, listen to me. And listen to me well! For once, what I am going to tell you is the absolute truth! If he touches you, he is not touching *you*! You are not of the flesh. You are of the spirit! That is why you must leave your body - right now! You must leave him with nothing!
