Martin Arlington Quotes in Tarzan and His Mate (1934)

Martin Arlington: But he's got to understand. Every penny we've got in the world is tied up in this.

Jane Parker: Tarzan knows nothing about money. That wouldn't mean anything to him.

Harry Holt: Well, what's the harm? They're all dead.

[referring to the elephants in the Elephants Graveyard]

Jane Parker: It's as though somebody asked you to rob a graveyard back home.

Martin Arlington: But these are animals. They're not humans. This is different.

Jane Parker: Not to him.

Martin Arlington: Dead men can't give orders.

Harry Holt: Yes they can.

Harry Holt: Did you bring the dresses and the things that I wrote for?

Martin Arlington: Everything and a few extras.

Harry Holt: I suppose you thought I was crazy.

Martin Arlington: Uh-huh. So, your lady turned you down for a sort of a wild man from Borneo, eh? Its a bit fantastic. isn't it. A well bred English girl living in the treetops with a glorified native ape man.

Harry Holt: Tarzan's as white as we are.

Martin Arlington: You know, you're the first woman I ever had to coax into an evening gown.

Jane Parker: I imagine that isn't your usual practice.

Martin Arlington: Well, everything seems to go by opposites here. I believe I have this dance, Lady Jane.

Jane Parker: Oh yes!

[They begin to dance]

Jane Parker: You know, I really promised this dance to the duke of Riverbottom, but as the old fogey isn't here, we'll let him wait.

Martin Arlington: Thank you. You know, you're a fascinating little savage.

Jane Parker: Hmm?

[Martin forcibly kisses Jane. She pulls away, horrified]

Martin Arlington: Forgive me, please. I forgot myself. You're... you're so lovely.

Jane Parker: I blame myself as much as you.

Martin Arlington: Please don't.

Jane Parker: Oh, we'll forget about it, if you'll remember that there's only one man that means anything to me. And that's Tarzan.

Harry Holt: [watches Tarzan and Jane swing on vines] Going through the jungle is play for them.

Martin Arlington: That is playing, eh?

Harry Holt: Mm-hmm.

Harry Holt: Well, I wonder what they do for exercise.

[They both laugh]

Jane Parker: He... he can't be... gone.

Martin Arlington: Jane, you must face facts. They're cruel, but you must.

Jane Parker: Why, he's fought a hundred crocodiles!

Martin Arlington: He didn't see it. I shouted. He turned, but there was nothing he could do.

Jane Parker: He might have got away.

Martin Arlington: Jane, you've got to look after yourself.

Jane Parker: [runs to Harry] Did you find any... any... any...

Harry Holt: Sorry.

Jane Parker: But there must be some traces. Even if he were... were...

[crying]

Jane Parker: [a native man finds the pocket watch in the river]

Jane Parker: [grimly takes the watch] He said... always!

[crying]

Jane Parker: [Martin starts to lead Jane away]

Jane Parker: Wait.

[She turns and drops the pocket watch into the river]

Jane Parker: Take me away.
