Capitaine Phillippe D'Arnot
- [a tribe of cannibals are on the riverbank]
- Sir Evelyn Blount: What are they saying D'Arnot?
- Capitaine Phillippe D'Arnot: Dinner is serving. No! Arrived, dinner has arrived is a slightly better translation.
- Sir Evelyn Blount: I don't think that's frightfully funny D'Arnot!
- Capitaine Phillippe D'Arnot: [Narrating] I sensed we had a long and difficult journey ahead of us. Perhaps weeks of waiting for a ship that will give us passage to England. I will try to teach John some rudimentary manners and a greater understanding of the language. Like a father, I am resolved to empower to him all that I can. But never, not even for a moment, do I doubt that to take him back, is a perilous undertaking.
- [pause]
- Capitaine Phillippe D'Arnot: For John but also for his family.
- Capitaine Phillippe D'Arnot: Listen to me John. How many other white apes have you seen? You're like me, not them. You have another family, far away, one you have never seen.
