Patricia Harland Quotes in Bomba, the Jungle Boy (1949)

Mufti: Fire grow on trees in there. Elephant got two heads. River all hot lead. Mountains roar like lions.

Patricia Harland: Where on earth did you hear all that?

Mufti: Eli say little man turn big, big man turn little. Birds hunt deer. Lions roost in trees.

Patricia Harland: Don't tell Dad or he'll have us in there. Quick.

Patricia Harland: Well, I'm going to stick to you until I can make you take me back to camp. I can't stay out here all alone.

Bomba: Not bad be alone.

Patricia Harland: Well, you're going to have company whether you like it or not.

Bomba: Not like.

Patricia Harland: That's fine. Then you can just take me back to my father.

Patricia Harland: Who are you, anyway?

Bomba: Bomba.

Patricia Harland: Bomba? That's a funny name.

Bomba: My name.

Patricia Harland: Have you got a leopard skin I can have?

[Bomba starts to take off his loin cloth]

Patricia Harland: Oh no, Bomba, you keep that one. Get me a little bigger one.

Bomba: This best one.

Patricia Harland: Well, I'm not fussy. Second best is good enough for me.

Patricia Harland: I think I'd better get out of here. Before I decide to stay the rest of my life.

Bomba: Not like home?

Patricia Harland: That's just it. I like it too much.

Bomba: Why not stay? All good here. All friends.

Patricia Harland: Don't try to talk me into it. It'd be too easy.

George Harland: That's strange. Him turning down all we have to offer for a for a hole in the hill, a flock of wild animals.

Patricia Harland: I'm not so sure.
