- Sam, the Nightclub Janitor: [at the Club Moonbeam, answering the phone] Hello. Hello.
- Cheetah the Chimp: [at the Gloucester Hotel, talking into telephone] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Oooooooh. Ooh.
- Sam, the Nightclub Janitor: [shocked] What's that? This is Sam. Who is this?
- Cheetah the Chimp: Woo, woo, woo. Woooooooo.
- Sam, the Nightclub Janitor: [irritated] What's that? I said, this is Sam. That's what I said.
- Cheetah the Chimp: Agh, agh, agh.
- Sam, the Nightclub Janitor: What'd you say?
- Cheetah the Chimp: Agh-agh.
- Sam, the Nightclub Janitor: [upset] You ain't gettin' fresh with me, is you, colored boy?
- Cheetah the Chimp: Agh. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
- Sam, the Nightclub Janitor: Don't you give me none of that double-talk! Do you hear me?
- Cheetah the Chimp: Woooo-oooooooo.
- Sam, the Nightclub Janitor: [mad] Why, you... you. You mush-mouth!
- [hangs up the phone]
- Cheetah the Chimp: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haaa.
- Jane: [sees Cheetah on the phone, rushes over to the chimp] Now what? Cheetah, Cheetah, what are you doing? Now, you give me that telephone right away. Yes. Don't you dare touch that anymore. The idea.
- Tarzan: Boy little Tarzan.
- Jane: And I want him to grow up to be a big Tarzan.
- Tarzan: Tarzan watch Boy.
- Jane: I know you will. I know I shouldn't worry. I know there's no need to worry as long as you're with me. At first, I used to have so many little fears for myself, for Boy. But one by one, you've chased them all away. Wouldn't it be strange if someday I became as brave as you are?
- Tarzan: Jane no need to be brave. Jane beautiful. Jane good.
- Jane: You are my goodness, darling. My strength.
- Tarzan: [pointing] Jane. Tarzan. Tarzan. Jane.
- Tarzan: [in New York City, referring to the taxi's baggage handler] Jaconi tribe. Put clothes on him, too.
- Jane: Listen to me, darling. I know that man's laws are not for you. You who are as free as an eagle. I should've told you to follow your own law. To find Boy in your own way. I said this was my jungle. I was wrong. Your jungle is my jungle. I know that now.
- Jane: We're going into places where men's minds are more tangled than the worst underbrush in the jungle, and I'm afraid. More afraid than I've ever been in my life. Everywhere we'll be met with lies and deceit. Your honesty and directness will only be handicaps. It'd break my heart to see your strength caught in the quicksands of civilization. And I'll be the only guide you'll have. Will you follow me? Will you do as I say? I'll try not to fail you.
- Tarzan: Jane lead way. Tarzan follow always.

- Jimmie Shields: The ape-man they talked about back at the settlement.
- Manchester Montford: Then it's true, he's not a myth.
- Buck Rand: That kid would be a sensation in a circus.
- Manchester Montford: I can see the 24-sheets now. The Boy-King of the Jungle!
- Buck Rand: Yes. He'd be a gold mine if we had him back in America.
- Blake Norton: There's just one more detail, madam. Our local Chinese tailor carries ladies' and gentlemen's apparel. Not exactly - Paris models or Bond Street suits.
- Jane: We do need some clothes.
- Buck Rand: You got religion all of the sudden, didn't you?
- Jimmie Shields: I like to stay on the beam, Buck, when I can. It works out better all around.
- Tarzan: [flying over Manhattan] Stone jungle.
- Jane: Yes, a man-made jungle.
- Tarzan: Natives live there?
- Jane: Yes, they live and they work there.
- Tarzan: Why?
- Jane: To help them concentrate their efforts. Get things done in a hurry. Save time.
- Tarzan: Save time? Why?
- Jane: Darling, you're asking me a question all the sages haven't been able to answer.
- Tarzan: Teach Boy where to find water when thirsty, where to find food when hungry. Tarzan teach Boy to be strong like lion and happy like bird.
- Gould Beaton: Can you read, Tarzan?
- Tarzan: Read?
- Gould Beaton: Yes, read. Read a book. Ever hear of Shakespeare's Hamlet?
- Tarzan: Tarzan read trails in jungle. Read clouds in sky.
- Blake Norton: The only issue is guardianship. Are these two people morally fit to bring up an adolescent to proper manhood? It is my contention, Your Honor, that they are. By his conduct in this court, Tarzan has proved himself no savage; but, rather uniquely civilized.
- Tarzan: Boy grow up to be brother of sun and friend of rain. Hurt nobody. Want nothing people have. Grow old like cedar tree. Boy will be good man, happy man.
- Gould Beaton: Take a look, Your Honor! He's a man who claims to be a fit guardian for a child. He's no more than a savage!
