Quotes 

• Durante : [Talking on the phone]  Oh, ain't that you, my little white dovie-dovie? How are ya?

  The Jaguar Woman : Now listen to me you dirty, big black snake in the bush!

• Durante's Butler : Mr. Durante is in conference. He's not to be disturbed.

  The Jaguar Woman : Well listen here, I want to see that pelican face, see, and I'm gonna disturb him!

  Durante's Butler : But, the scientific gentlemen are with him. They're having their usual Wednesday night discussion.

  The Jaguar Woman : Get outta my way, you big telegraph pole!

• The Jaguar Woman : [Talking on the phone]  What's this you giving a party and not inviting me, huh? Answer me that.

  Durante : Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You don't have to get sore just because I kicked you outta my last picture! You don't belong to these parties. You get too rough, too involved. Ha-cha!

  The Jaguar Woman : Now, let me tell you something. The day I don't play in your pictures any more, Schnarzan will be terrible. What do you think of that, eh? Ha-ha-cha!

  [Sticks her tongue out at Durante's photograph] 

• Schnarzan : Can't you see, Jungle Woman? I'm human even if I got a touch of King Kong!

  Jane in Schnarzan Sequence : Human? Ha ha, you make me laugh.

  Schnarzan : Mocking a monarch, huh? Giving him the royal razz? Okay, but underneath this lion's skin beats a heart steeped with sentiment!

  Jane in Schnarzan Sequence : Oh, I bet you say that to every animal. Go on!

  Schnarzan : No... I don't! Listen to me, Jungle Woman!

  [Schnarzan does his jungle call, which sounds like a muted trumpet playing] 

• Harvey Clemp : [to a butler mixing drinks in a cocktail shaker]  Mixing a cocktail? You picked a nice night for it.

  Harvey Clemp : [Harvey goes to the patio, where Jaguar Woman climbs down from a balcony]  Careful, you'll scratch your face.

  Harvey Clemp : [Jaguar Woman climbs down the trellis]  Rather an informal entrance, isn't it?

  The Jaguar Woman : That is nothing! He thinks he can keep me away from his party, eh? The dirty such-and-such, and so-and-so, and this-and-that, oooh!

  Harvey Clemp : Those are strong words, stranger.

  The Jaguar Woman : Wait till I get a hold of him! I'll show him how strong I am! I take hold of his throat, like this...

  [Jaguar Woman wraps her arms around Harvey's neck, showing how she plans to strangle Jimmy] 

  Harvey Clemp : I'd hate to be in his shoes.

  The Jaguar Woman : [Jaguar Woman lets go of Harvey's neck]  Say... I kind of like you. Come here!

• Harvey Clemp : Ahem.

  The Jaguar Woman : Harvey, you're back, eh?

  Harvey Clemp : What a night, the moon is so mellow and the fragrance of your hair - Let me give you what is commonly known as the works.

  The Jaguar Woman : [Harvey puts his arms behind Jaguar Woman and over her chest]  What's the matter with you, are you going crazy?

  Harvey Clemp : I don't seem to have the right purchase.

  Harvey Clemp : [Jaguar Woman throws Harvey over the patio railing, he lands in a flower bed]  I still like the old oil game best.

• Durante's Butler : Mr. Durante is in conference, he is not to be disturbed.

  The Jaguar Woman : Well listen here, I want to see that pelican face, see? And I'm going to disturb him.

  Durante's Butler : The scientific gentlemen are with him; they're having their usual Wednesday night discussion.

  The Jaguar Woman : Get out of my way, you big telegraph pole!

  Durante's Butler : [Jaguar Woman pushes the butler to one side]  I'm very sorry, but the door is locked.

  The Jaguar Woman : [mocking the butler]  Is that so? Well, you keep it locked, see, until I go and get a few more drinks under my belt. And when I come back, Schnarzan's cook will be goosed!
