John Clayton: Your son killed the only person who ever cared about me.
Chief Mbonga: It was an animal.
John Clayton: She was my mother.
Chief Mbonga: How was he to know? My son was just a boy! Not like you! Where was your honor?
John Clayton: I... I had none. I had none.

Leon Rom: [about chief Mbonga's vengeance] What did Tarzan do?
Jane Porter: He killed his only son.
Leon Rom: Oh.
Jane Porter: Mm. And get ready, because that is nothing compare to what he will do to you.
Leon Rom: Your husband's wildness disturbs me more than I can easily express.
Whereas your spirit...

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: 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.

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.

Jane Porter: [narrating] They are singing the legend of Tarzan. For many moons he was thought to be an evil spirit - a ghost in the trees. They speak of his power over the animals of the jungle. Because his spirit came from them. He understood them. And learned to be as one with them.

Title Card: At the Berlin conference of 1884 the world's colonial powers took it upon themselves to divide up the African Congo. King Leopold of Belgium claimed the vast Congo basin, rich in ivory and minerals. Five years later he had run up hige debts in his ambition to exploit his new colony. Desperate for funds and running out of money to pay his army, he sent his most trusted servant, Leon
Rom, to the Congo to source the legendary diamonds of Opar.

Captain Moulle: Mr. Rom.
Leon Rom: [looking up at stone] Opar! We found it.
Belgian Soldier: Captain Moulle?
Captain Moulle: Form your lines...
Belgian Soldier: [the machine gun is rolled forward] Maxim ready, sir!
Captain Moulle: Steady...
Wait... Fire!
