Quotes8

  • George Washington Williams: Leopold has spent the last 7 years getting control of the Congo. He used up his entire fortune building that railroad of his, and shut off access to 99% of the country. Why? Because he wants to be the first monarch in history who doesn't want people to see his good deeds? I don't buy it.
  • George Washington Williams: What I wouldn't give for a horse right now. Why is it people don't ride zebras?
  • John Clayton: Horses kick to escape. Zebras continue until you are dead.
  • George Washington Williams: Zeebra. Zehbra. Tomayto. Tomahto.
  • John Clayton: It's nearly impossible to take the wild out of something born to it.
  • George Washington Williams: It seem to work with you. Look. I feel foolish for asking, but... Can you really talk to animals?
  • John Clayton: You're an educated man, Dr. Williams. You tell me.
  • George Washington Williams: You, are Tarzan. Lord of the apes, King of the jungle. "Me, Tarzan. You, Jane."
  • John Clayton: Are you aware that you always seem not going to do something right before you do it?
  • George Washington Williams: Yeah? Well. That's only since I've been saddled with your company.
  • George Washington Williams: You look like you're about to give me a hug.
  • John Clayton: I wasn't.
  • George Washington Williams: Looked like you were.
  • [they embrace]
  • George Washington Williams: [looking out over the ledge] How are we suppose to catch a train going 40 miles an hour?
  • John Clayton: Gravity...
  • [he and the natives jump off one at a time]
  • George Washington Williams: I'm still coming with you.
  • John Clayton: You can't keep up.
  • George Washington Williams: I might not be able to keep up with Tarzan, but I sure as hell can keep up with *you*.
  • John Clayton: [Tarzan, George Washington Williams, and their native allies Kolo, Kwete, and Kanam are in pursuit of Leon Rom and his forces.] We'd lose two days going around.
  • George Washington Williams: Around what?
  • John Clayton: Mangani.
  • George Washington Williams: Those gorillas you used to live with?
  • John Clayton: They're not gorillas.
  • Kolo: Gorillas are gentle. Mangani are not.
