Jane Parker Tarzan! Don't go! Come with us. We'll all go back together. Tarzan. Tarzan! Tarzan.

James Parker Jane, dear, you belong to us and he brought you back. Now, you must let him go. He belongs to the jungle.

Jane Parker Not now, he belongs to me.

Major Hamilton McGregor, you'll meet the two replacement officers this morning. lieutenants Forsythe and Stone.

Lieutenant McGregor Yes, sir. Stone?

Major Hamilton His son.

Lieutenant McGregor His what?

Major Hamilton I said, his son.

Lieutenant McGregor I can't imagine the old Ramrod ever having been that human. Madam, you'll marry me Tuesday the 29th. Be at the church at 10:00. That's an order! Furthermore, you're improperly dressed!

Dr. Henry Jekyll We've all had thoughts that we didn't want published or shouted out loud. And we certainly have had desires that are not confined to a drawing room. Why, as Christians, we admit that man is created weak. That's a perfectly honest problem. Why don't we face it?

The Bishop Suppose we believe that man's soul has not yet reached its fulfillment. Is it wise? Is it right to tamper with the problem until the Creator himself has solved it in his own mysterious way?

Lieutenant McGregor That kid needs him, it's his own blood, and if he cared a hang for him...

Major Hamilton Oh, of course he cares! But what's that got to do with it? He loved his wife too, and he lost her. She was American. Couldn't stick the service, couldn't understand. So he chose the regiment then, just as he's doing now. But that doesn't mean he didn't care.

Major Hamilton He'll have nothing, if his boy doesn't carry on in this regiment.

Lieutenant Forsythe Then he'd have everything?

Major Hamilton Of course he would! That's what it means to him. But d'you think he'd let that make any difference to his orders, to his job?

Lieutenant McGregor Well, why shouldn't it? Why can't he be a little less of a soldier and more of a man? Why can't he forget his blasted duty for once?

Major Hamilton Man, you are blind! Have you never thought how, for generation after generation here, a handful of men have ordered the lives of 300 million people? It's because he's here, and a few more like him! Men of his breed have made British India. Men who put their jobs above everything. He wouldn't let death move him from it. But he won't let love move him from it. When his breed of man dies out - that's the end. And it's a better breed of man than any of us will ever make. Good night, gentlemen.

Lieutenant McGregor I suppose if it were your son, you'd sit here too, like a dummy.

Major Hamilton No, I should probably ordered the regiment out. But that's because I'm not the man the Colonel is. Nor the soldier.

Lieutenant McGregor Well, if that's what you call being a man, or a soldier, I don't want any part of it.
