• King : [Saves Tina's life from lioness] 

  Tina : [King comes to Tina]  King! I knew you loved me. You saw King chose me. He's mine!

  King : [Coming to Tina] 

  Tina : Stay away from her. You naughty thing.

  King : [Mounting King] 

  Tina : King will see me home. He really loves me.

  Christine : Now your beginning to see?

  Robert Hayward : If I hadn't seen it... Well, I wouldn't have believed it. It's like witchcraft.

  Tina : [Riding away on King]  Now do you understand King? I don't want you to have anything more to do with that nasty lioness again. Who does she think she is?

• Robert Hayward : Bullit this must be kind of a dull life for you. No more safaris for the great white hunter.

  John Bullit : A man can't take his wife and child on safari. And he'd be a fool to leave a woman like this alone.

  [puts his arm around Christine] 

  Robert Hayward : Especially when there's poachers about.

  John Bullit : Right, Sport.

• Christine : Robert, you're not to leave the compound without a Ranger. It's a game reserve - a sanctuary for the animals, you know.

  Robert Hayward : I promise not to bite the animals.

• Christine : Robert, I was not your property. Bullit did not steal me.

  Robert Hayward : Do you always call him Bullit?

  Christine : Everybody does. Are you trying to needle me again?

  Robert Hayward : Of course not. I just thought that by now you'd be on more - intimate terms.

  Christine : There are times when I call him John.

• Christine : You don't want her to grow up completely wild.

  Robert Hayward : Why not? She's your daughter. She'll have your kind of appetites.

• Tina : I want you to come meet a friend of mine.

  Robert Hayward : A friend? You mean, your Lion friend, King?

• Tina : King understands everything I tell him. If I tell him to be your friend, he will. But, I could make him kill you.

  Robert Hayward : I hope you won't.

• Robert Hayward : Who's King?

  Christine : King is a full grown lion. He happens to be Tina's constant companion. Her best friend.

  John Bullit : Yes, you should see them romping together. It's quite a sight.

• Robert Hayward : Everything and everybody needs love. Always remember that.

• Robert Hayward : With you and me it's different. Because, it's you I remember - and you remember me. I let you go so easily - just for the asking.
