- Harry Holt: Jane, do you know what he wants? What this ape wants?
- Jane: He's not an ape!
- Harry Holt: He is an ape. He lives like an ape, he kills like an ape. But do you understand what he wants?
- Jane: You know everything...
- Harry Holt: Well, this ape son of a bitch wants you.
- Parker: I'm gonna catch that animal son of a bitch, Mr Holt!
- Jane: [to Tarzan] Don't you know how to smile? Do you know you're more beautiful than any girl I know? Oh, you're a lot more! Come here. Come here!
- Parker: I wallow in me. I enjoy every syllable I say and every gesture I make. I indulge myself a full one hundred percent. And you take my advice, dear Jane, and you do the same thing, and enjoy your beautiful time on Earth. Turn yourself into a god, and then you will not have to look for another.
- Harry Holt: You're very beautiful and very able, also.
- Jane: Thank you.
- Harry Holt: Ballooning over the Alps. You could live on a thrill like that for a long time. I wish I'd made that trip.
- Jane: Does it bother you that I did?
- Harry Holt: I'm sorry. I don't understand?
- Jane: But, of course you do! It's a man's world. Women aren't allowed to be participants. We're here for your pleasure, not for ours.
- Jane: What was it?
- Parker: I told you. I believe it's Tarzan.
- Jane: But, I don't know what Tarzan is?
- Harry Holt: It's a great white ape. It's supposedly ten feet tall.
- Parker: A great white man, supposedly one hundred feet tall!
- Harry Holt: Well, it's a story. It's half man, half ape. Gigantic. White.
- Parker: Of course he's afraid! He's got to be afraid! That's where the bloody fun is! You are afraid, aren't you Holt? You are afraid, Holt, aren't you? You are afraid. Yes, you are afraid and you are alive. Your blood is rushing through your veins. Your heart is pounding off your chest! - with the thought of going up there. And you're more alive at this moment than you have ever been in your entire life! Because you are afraid. Yes, Holt, because you are afraid.
- Parker: Fear is intoxicating! Fear of the dark. Fear of death. Fear of the unknown. Fear of a five hundred foot white monster.
- Jane: [unpeeling a banana] James Parker you were wrong! I'm still a virgin. Now, I don't know if that's good or bad? What are you? You'd have to be. I mean, there's no one. You'd have to be, wouldn't you?
- [bites the banana]
- Jane: It's a strange problem. God, if the girls back home could see me now!
- [offers a piece of her banana to Tarzan]
- Jane: I feel so strange! Like I'm reading this in a book! But, I'm not. I'm really here. But, I don't believe it. I don't know whether to laugh or cry or just turn to the next page. God, I sure hope it has a happy ending!
- Jane: [Tarzan starts touching Jane] Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! The chapter always ended before this part. Mmm. James Parker, you might be right. He might want me. He just might. James Parker, it's wicked, I know; but, I hope you're right.
- Jane: They're painting me.
- Parker: Jane.
- Jane: They're painting my hair.
- Parker: Jane.
- Jane: They're painting it white.
- Parker: Jane! Jane, listen to me. Jane, do you like merry-go-rounds?
- Jane: Merry-go-rounds?
- Parker: Yes. We will take a ride on one. You and I together. We'll bring Mr. Holt with us. Mr. Holt, you will take a ride with us on a merry-go-round. We'll go round and round the heavens of the Greek gods! Jane, I see - Aphrodite. And she's not half as beautiful as you are! Who do you see Jane?
- Jane: Who do I see? Oh, God, who do I see? Who do I see? I see Zeus.
- Parker: Ah, Zeus.
- Jane: No, I only see them smearing me with paint!
- Jane: Oh, God, tell me a story. Be a good daddy, tell me a story and make him go away.
- Parker: Yes, I will, Jane. I'll tell you a story. A story. A story. Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall! Humpty Dumpty had a great fall! All the king's horses and all the kings men. Could not put this bloody Humpty Dumpty together again!
- Jane: Oh, my God, he's coming!
- Parker: Now, Jane, listen to me. And listen to me well! For once, what I am going to tell you is the absolute truth! If he touches you, he is not touching *you*! You are not of the flesh. You are of the spirit! That is why you must leave your body - right now! You must leave him with nothing!
