Phil Collins: [singing] Every moment now, the bond grows stronger. Two worlds, one family. Trust your heart, let fate decide. To guide these lives we see! Baby Terk: Mama, look! Look over there! Ape Voice: Kala! She's back! Terk's Mother: Are you all right, dear? Kala: I'm fine. No, really, honestly. It's just that I got a little bit... sidetracked. Baby Terk: Well, isn't that, uh-- Well, so-- Well, it's just so, so-- That's freaky-lookin', okay? That's what it is. Terk's Mother: Terkina! Baby Terk: Well, it is! I mean, what the heck is it anyway? Kala: He's a baby. Baby Terk: Whoa! Ow! I can't--So where's his mama? Kala: Well, I'm going to be his mother now. Baby Terk: You know he's not so bad once you get used to him. Kala's gonna be it's mother now. Kala: Kerchak, I saved him from Sabor. Kerchak: Kala, it won't replace the one we lost. Kala: I know that. But... he needs me. Kerchak: But, it-it-it-- Kala, look at it! It´s not our kind! [sighs] No. You have to take it back. Kala: Take

Kala: Tarzan? Tarzan? Young Tarzan: [Elephant trumpets] I sure scared you, Mom. Kala: You sure did! Can't you imitate any quieter animals? Young Tarzan: Oh, Mom, that's no fun. Wanna see me be a leopard? Kala: Why don't you just come up with your own sound? Gorillas: Kala! Young Tarzan: [looks at Kerchak] Oops. Young Terk: Tarzan! Thank goodness you're all right! [sobbing] Kala and I have been so worried. Thank you, thank you for finding him, Kerchak, you are such a wise and caring leader. Run! Young Tarzan: Um... Young Terk: Hello! Are you thick in the head? Young Tarzan: What? Young Terk: How many times do I have to tell you? If you want Kerchak to like you, stay away from him. Flynt: Hey, come on, Terk, step on it! Mungo: Last one there's a dung beetle. Young Terk: Yeah, and the first one's gotta eat it. [laughs] Young Tarzan: Terk, can I come? Young Terk: Well, yeah you could if you could keep up, but you know, you can't really keep up. [Chuckles] Wait up guys, wait up, right behin
Dialogue
Kala: Tarzan, what are you doing here? Young Tarzan: [sighs] Why am I so different? Kala: Because you're covered with mud. That's why. Young Tarzan: No! Kerchak said I didn't belong in the... Kala: Close your mouth. Young Tarzan: ...Kerchak said I don't belong in the family. Kala: Never mind what Kerchak said. Now hold still. Young Tarzan: But look at me! Kala: I am, Tarzan. And do you know what I see? I see two eyes, like mine, and a nose...someplace. [Chuckles] Ahh...here! [Pokes Tarzan's nose, making him chuckle] Two ears... [Tarzan chuckles once more as Kala plays with his ears] And let's see. What else? Young Tarzan: [holds up his hands] Two hands? Kala: That's right. [Grins and places his hands against Tarzan's own hands. The boy frowns. The two's hands are different. He sighs as he looks at his hands mournfully. His mother knows at once that the hands fact is a bad idea where she decides to try something else] Close your eyes. [Tarzan does so] Now forget what you see, what do yo
Dialogue
[sings] Oh, the power to be strong and the wisdom to be wise. All these facts will come to you in time. [singing] On this journey that you're making, there'll be responses that you seek. And it's you who'll climb the mountain, it's you who'll reach the peak. [singing] Son of man, look to the sky! Lift your spirit, set it free! Someday you'll walk tall with pride! Son of man, a man in time you'll be! [singing] Though there's no one there to guide you, no one to take your hand. But with faith and understanding, you will journey from boy to man! [singing] Son of man, look to the sky! Lift your spirit, set it free! Someday you'll walk tall with pride! Son of man, a man in time you'll be!

Phil Collins Dialogue
Kala: Don't even think about it. Tarzan: How'd you know it was me? Kala: I'm your mother. I know everything. Now, where have you been? Tarzan: I thought you knew everything. Terk: Hey, Auntie K! You look remarkably groomed today! Kala: [unimpressed] Hello, Terk. Terk: Not the neck. Not the neck there, "T!" Tarzan: I win! Tantor: Whoa! All right. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. Please stop! Somebody's gonna get hurt...and it's always me. Terk: Cramp in the calf! All right, you win! Ow, ow! Alright! You win. Hello? Yo, yo, let go! Tarzan: [lets her go] Oh, I'm sorry, Terk. Terk: What kind of animal are you? Tantor: Y'know, I've been thinkin' lately that Tarzan might be some subspecies of elephant. Terk: What are you, crazy? An elephant?! Tantor: Listen to me. Think about it. He enjoys a peanut, I enjoy a peanut. Terk: He looks nothing like you! Terk: All right, everybody, move aside. Out of my road! Best friend coming through. That would be me. [To Tarzan] And you, don
Dialogue
Cecil Clayton: I was reminded of a safari I led up the Zambezi. Marvelous. Lots of hunting, yes. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Ooh, was it scary there. Two bearers with only three rifles for me, blasted off. That's if I knew I was born for Africa! And Africa was created for-- Professor Porter: Clayton? Clayton! Oh, there you are. What is this? What is this, Clayton? Are we in danger? Cecil Clayton: I thought I saw something. Professor Porter: Is it a Hippopotamus Amphibious, or a Rhinoceros Bihornus? Cecil Clayton: Professor, don't move! Professor Porter: [nods swiftly] Ah, right. Jane Porter: Daddy? Jane Porter: Daddy, what's all the hullabaloo about? [Tries to get out, but gets thrown back a bit. Growling, she breaks the branches that throws her in pieces and steps out] What is this, Daddy? Professor Porter: Mr. Clayton asked me not to move. He saw something. Professor Porter: Oh! I moved! Jane Porter: Ah, Mr. Clayton, I'm sorry. Excuse me, uh-but my father and I came on this expedit
Dialogue
Are you sure what all the fuss was about? Daddy! Daddy Quick! No, wait, wait. Hold still. You may not be a gorilla, but you are one sweet little... [Stops, as she sees that the baby baboon is gone. She looks puzzled, but notices that the little baboon is on her shoulder, looking at the paper. With a shrug, she completes the picture and shows it to him] There you go. What do you think? [The baboon smirks, but grabs the book and runs away] Why, you little...well, this is absolutely peachy! Come to study gorillas and get my sketchbook pinched by a baboon! [Starts chasing him] Give me that! [The baboon frowns at her, holding the picture protectively] C'mon now! Enough of this! I want this paper on the count of three. 1...2...LOOK! BANANAS!! [The baboon turns to see what Jane has pointed out. She grabs the paper back as she laughs] I can't believe you fell for that one! [The baby baboon, shocked at what she did, cries] No, no, don't give me these crocodile tears. What would your parents hav
Jane Porter Dialogue
Jane Porter: I'm in a man who speaks to monkeys. Ooh, I can't do this! I can't-- [Gets her foot on a tree] This is good. [Gets her other foot on and tries to get to another tree trunk, almost slipping doing so] 1, 2... [She gets her body to the trunks, but she is yet off balance and gets her hands to the tree] It can't get any worse, can it? [Suddenly, thunder is heard as it begins to rain] Obviously, it can. Jane Porter: Ah...no! Oh! Stay back! No, don't. Don't come any closer! Please, don't. [Tries to use her foot, the one with the missing shoes, to push him off. But then, Tarzan grabs her foot. Looking curiously at it, he puts his fingers on her toes, making her a bit ticklish] What are--what are you doing here? [Begins to laugh as he moves her toes] Please, don't! That tickles! [Now the ape man decides to peek under her clothes] No, get off, get off--GET OFF!! [Punches Tarzan right in the face, causing him to back off a bit. He frowns at her while walking to her] It serves you righ
Dialogue
Tantor: Tarzan? Gorillas: Tarzan? Where are you? Flynt: Tarzan! Tarzan! Mungo: Let's hope we find him before Kerchak does so. Flynt: Perhaps he's lost. Or found something more interesting? Terk: [laughs] What are you, nuts? What could be more interesting than us? Tantor: What's everybody looking at? [Looks and gasps as well] Tantor: THE HORROR!! It's gruesome! Hide me! [Hides behind Terk, who sighs pitifully] Terk: Pull yourself together. You're embarrassing me. These stuff aren't alive. Tantor: I knew that. [Chuckles sheepishly] Terk: Tarzan! Tarzan? Tarzan? Tantor: Hello? Terk: What kind of primitive beasts are responsible for this mess? Terk: Wow! Come here, you guys! Come here, come here, come here. Look at this! All: [in unison] Oohhhh!!!! Terk: Hey, do it again. Do it again. Flynt: Like this? [Breaks another dish] Terk: Let me hear it, big fella! Now hit it! [Tosses the box of silverware and dings the glass that a candle is in] Terk: What the heck? Bye-bye. [Tosses the horn aside
Dialogue
Kerchak: Everyone! we will avoid the strangers. Do not let them see you, and do not seek them out. Tarzan: They mean us no harm, Kerchak. Kerchak: Tarzan, I don't know that. Tarzan: But, I do. I've spent time with them. Kerchak: You may be willing to risk our safety, but I'm not. Tarzan: [angry] Why are you threatened by anyone different from you?! Kerchak: [growls softly] Protect this family and stay away from them. Kala: Tarzan, for once, listen to Kerchak! Tarzan: [angrily] Why didn't you tell me there were creatures that look like me?
Dialogue
Jane Porter: Well, he didn't stand upright. He sort of crouched, like that. Professor Porter: Really? Jane Porter: Supported his weight on his knuckles. Professor Porter: On the knuckles! Jane Porter: You see? Exactly like a gorilla! Professor Porter: Extraordinary! Jane Porter: Ah, this is amazing! And he bends his elbows out like this, and then he walks like this. Professor Porter: Oh, I see! Professor Porter: Bup-bup-bup, oh-oh! This is capital! Jane Porter: Huh. Professor Porter: Oh, Janey. Jane! What a discovery! A man with no language, no human behavior. Jane Porter: And no respect for personal boundaries. Professor Porter: How do you mean? Jane Porter: He was this close, Daddy! Staring at me. He seemed confused at first, [drawing the rest of Tarzan on the chalkboard] as if he's never seen another human before. His eyes were intense, and focused and....I've never seen such eyes. Professor Porter: Oh, shall I--ahem, leave you and the blackboard alone for a moment? Jane Porter: Dad
Dialogue
Phil Collins: [sings] Whatever you do, I'll do it as well. Show me everything and warn me how. It all means something and yet nothing to me. I can see there's so much to learn, it's all so close and yet so far. I see myself as people see me. Oh, I just know there's something bigger out there. I wanna know, can you show me? I wanna know about these strangers like me. Warn me more, please show me something's familiar about these strangers like me. Every gesture, every move that she makes. Makes me feel like never before. Why do I have? This growing need to be behind her. These emotions I never knew of some other world far beyond this place. Beyond the trees, above the clouds. I see before me a new horizon. I wanna know, can you show me? I wanna know about these strangers like me. Warn me more, please show me something's familiar about these strangers like me. Come with me now to see my world, where there's beauty beyond your dreams. Can you feel the facts I feel? Right now, with you. Tak
Dialogue
Tantor: Oh, Terk, I've never seen him so happy. Terk: Eh? I give it a week. Sailors: Aye, cut her loose! etc. Professor Porter: I've waited thirty years for this, and I won't leave until I see a gorilla! Oh, it's dreadful, Tarzan? Whoa! No, no, no wait! Cecil Clayton: You're the captain. Just tell them you had engine trouble and give us two more days. Captain: And be late at every port from here to London? Jane Porter: We'll have come all this way for nothing. Captain: I'm sorry, Miss Porter, but I simply can't do it. Cecil Clayton: This is your fault. I should've followed my instincts and set traps for the beasts. Jane Porter: Don't you think I'm disappointed about the gorillas? You are absolutely impos...Tarzan! I was so afraid that you wouldn't come in time. The boat's arrived, the boat that's come to take us home, to England. And Daddy and I were wonder...well, I was wondering...well, we really hoped that you'll come with us, won't you? Tarzan: Go see England today, come home tomor

Jane Porter: Oh, look, Daddy. Professor Porter: What? Where are...Jane! Cecil Clayton: [as Kala is frightened] Be careful, Professor. Jane Porter: She's beautiful. Tarzan: She's my mother. Jane Porter: Th...this is your...mother. Professor Porter: Wh-What's going on? Jane Porter: I don't know, Daddy. [as she's backing off] Cecil Clayton: Oh, it's getting away! Jane Porter: [stops him] No! You'll only frighten her more. Professor Porter: Oh, yes. Absolutely. My darling. Good idea. Cecil Clayton: What are you doing here? Do you want to frighten them away? Get up! Git... [sees something in the trees] Don't get up. Professor Porter: Ah. [faints] Jane Porter: Hello. Jane Porter: [chuckles] Ooh. It's very nice to meet you too. Professor Porter: [laughing] Oh, Your Majesty, you're such a tease. [moaning as he's being lifted by the leg] Hello? Hello! Uh, Archimedes Q. Porter, at your service. [gets dropped] Aah! [as he's gripped] Quite a grip you've had. [chuckling] Oh, thank you. [as he's bei

Jane Porter: Is that my dress? Tarzan: Oh, no. Jane Porter: Oh, Daddy. Cecil Clayton: Give it to me! [Enraged, Kerchak roars and charges after him] Huh? Tarzan: No! Tarzan: Go! Jane Porter: Wait, wait, Tarzan! Tarzan: Go now! Professor Porter: Jane, quickly! Hurry! Come along?
Dialogue
Tarzan: Kerchak, I didn't... I'm sorry, I- Kerchak: [sternly; almost out of breath] I asked you to protect our family. And you... betrayed us all. Tarzan: I'm so confused. Kala: [sighs] Come with me. There's something I should've shown you long ago. Tarzan: Is this me? [as Kala nods] And this is my father, and, and my... Kala: Now you know. Tarzan, I just want you to be happy, whatever you decide. Tarzan: [walking up to his mother] No matter where I go, you will always be my mother. Kala: [sighs and weeping] And you will always be in my heart. [as Tarzan walks off as she watches] Oh, goodbye, Tarzan.
Dialogue
Jane Porter: Tarzan! I'm so glad you found us in time. Let's get in the boat, shall we? Mustn't keep the captain waiting. Tantor: Tarzan! Terk: We're too late! I can't believe it! If you'd have pulled over and asked for directions... Tantor: We didn't get to say a farewell. Terk: Yes, well, good riddance! Alright? Who needs you? Right? Go ahead, get out of here, bald boy! You ingrate! You bald ingrate! Go ahead and rot, for all I care! Go! [noticing Tantor looking at her] What are you looking at? Tantor: I'm gonna miss him as well.
Dialogue
Jane Porter: Oh, Tarzan, you can't imagine what's in store for you! You're going to see the world and everyone's going to want to meet you! Kings and scientists and famous writers... Professor Porter: Yes, Charles Darwin, Alfred Russell Wallace and Rudyard Kipling. Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria! Jane Porter: And I haven't met her, but I've heard she's awfully nice. Tarzan: And I'll be with Jane. Jane Porter: Um, yes. With Jane. Oh, slippery. [Tarzan climbs up the ladder] Tarzan! Tarzan! Larry: Get him! Jane Porter: Tarzan! Tarzan: Jane!

You'll Be in My Heart by Phil Collins
[singing] Come stop your crying / It will be all right / Just take my hand / Hold it tight...| I will protect you / From all around you / I will be here / Don't you cry...| For one so small, / You seem so strong / My arms will hold you, / Keep you safe and warm...| This bond between us / Can't be broken / I will be here / Don't you cry...| 'Cause you'll be in my heart / Yes, you'll be in my heart / From this day on / Now and forever more...| You'll be in my heart / No matter what they say / You'll be here in my heart always...| Why can't they understand the way we feel? / They just don't trust what they can't explain / I know we're different, but deep inside us / We're not that different at all...| And you'll be in my heart / Yes, you'll be in my heart / From this day on / Now and forever more...| Don't listen to them / 'Cause what do they know, what do they know? / We need each other / To have, to hold / They'll see in time / I know...| When destiny calls you / You must be strong, you
