  Paul Cooper : [reaching the bank of a river]  Well, here we are at the Katobi.

  Ticoora : The rest of the way should be easy for you, Paul. I'll go back and wait with Dad.

  Paul Cooper : Oh no, you're not. I won't let you go back throught that jungle alone. You're goin' with me. We'll keep that date with your dad - together.

  [Paul and Ticoora embrace]

  [a plane with four passengers is flying through a vicious thunderstorm over uncharted African jungle] 

  Dalton Kraik : Hey, Lamser, this is a laugh. Feds chase us all the way to Africa to nail us and we beat the rap.

  Paul Cooper : Don't be too sure of that.

  Dalton Kraik : I bet my hunches, Fly Boy. Right now I got a hunch that you're lost. Hey, Richards, lay you six-to-five your Cairo office cancels our boat reservations.

  Kenneth Richards : Your bookmaking days are over, Kraik.

  Dalton Kraik : Well, maybe. Right now I got a hunch Fly Boy doesn't know where he is or where he's goin'. Give you a pretty good price, Richards, on... .

  Kenneth Richards : Save it, Kraik. You're through. It's birds like you that keep things stirred up in the world, especially the Near East. Stealing and selling war materias to revolutionists... Big business.

• Carl Easton : This is absolute madness. We can't go on like this. He said Mahorib's ahead. We don't know what we'll walk into.

  Paul Cooper : Snap out of it, Easton. According to my charts, we should reach the Katobi River sometime tomorrow. Then our worries will be over.

  Dalton Kraik : Yeah, you hear that, rummy? I'll take a slug of your jungle juice. C'mon.

  Paul Cooper : What are you in a hurry for, Kraik? You should be the one who would want to stop.

  Dalton Kraik : No, you don't get the idea. See, jails don't bother me. There isn't a jail built that I can't get out of. But this place - whoa! It's worse than solitary. I want out - fast.

• [after Kraik slaps Easton] 

  Paul Cooper : What's the matter, Kraik? Were you afraid he was going to tell us you smashed the radio set? That wasn't hard to figure out.

  Dalton Kraik : Go to the head of the class.

• [Ticoora, Paul, Lamser and Kraik, are dragged into the witch doctor's camp where they find Easton unharmed] 

  Paul Cooper : Easton - you're alive!

  Dalton Kraik : Yeah, sure he's alive and doin' fine, ain't ya, pal. Hey, tell these French poodles to turn me loose.

  [Easton just smiles] 

  Dalton Kraik : Easton, this is beginnin' to smell like a double-cross.

  Carl Easton : Not exactly a double-cross, Kraik - just the law of the jungle I've learned from 12 years here. Survival of the fittest.

• [to scout the trail ahead, Ticoora swings from tree to tree on slender vines] 

  Lamser : [grabbing one of the vines]  Whattya say?

  Paul Cooper : I'll take the low road.
