not this wretched place.

If I don't survive,

I pray that someone will save you.

Promise me you'll stay with

the Kuba the whole time.

Not a chance, Jane.

The kickback of the Walter Colt

is very nasty.

As a matter of fact,

that's why they went out of style.

Pretty little ladies like you kept

knocking themselves in the face with it.

I bet I can hit that log

over there, first try.

Jane.

He's known them

since they were cubs.

BOMA WELCOMES JOHN CLAYTON III

Force Publique, move aside.

Force Publique, move aside!

I want port of entry.

I want port of disembarkation

for every passenger.

Yes, sir.

These are the last.

- Sir.

- Thank you.

[John Clayton]

[George Washington Williams]

Excuse me, sir.

The ledger.

Yes, thank you.

Into the hold.

Slowly.

- Gramophone.

- Slowly.

Mr. Frum.

Those crates, go to the hold.

Champagne.

The music.

The entire operation just fell apart.

- Have faith, Mr. Frum.

- Faith is for missionaries.

He gave you the slip.

Make sure the rest

goes down below.

Our invitation has been snubbed,

Mr. Frum.

They jumped ship

further up the coast

and they are on their

own little tour home.

So from Boma up to here

will take me 3 days.

I shall deliver Tarzan and return.

A week's delay.

You are not in position to ask

for anything, Mr. Rom.

Your king's payment

was due 3 months ago.

Yes.

I manipulated my firm

to keep this deal alive.

Ah. You agree because you will

get stinking rich so don't get droughty

- Now you must but us more time.

- I already bought all the time...

Look, it's really very easy.

You say aloud to the arriving fleet

and tell them payment must be made

in Boma for security reasons.

Opar better not be a myth.

Bring me the rest and

you'll have your mercenaries.

But, if you fail to

make good this time,

my firm will go to the

barter parliament for compensation.

Your king will lose this land and

who do you think he will blame?

Leon Rom.

Tarzan, you look funny!

Muviro!

Muviro!

Jane!

Thank goodness.

Keko.

How are you?

Wasimbu?

Oh my god.

Jane Porter,

welcome home.

As is custom, no one has

entered until you returned.

This is where Jane grew up.

Her father taught English

in the village.

Well, I'm not going to drink some

foam and a couple of

you know what it is

you won't tell me.

That's funny to everybody, huh.

Mm-hm.

They are singing

the legend of Tarzan.

For many moons he was

thought to be an evil spirit.

A ghost in the trees.

They speak of his power over

the animals of the jungle.

Because his spirit came from them.

He understood them.

And learned to conquer them.

His ape mother, Kala,

loved him as her own.

And his ape brother, Akut,
