Mark of the Gorilla (1950)

Onslow Stevens: Prof. Brandt

Quotes 

• [a "gorilla" has strangled Game Warden Bentley in his bed] 

  Jungle Jim : Oh, Jim... Uncle Frank - he's dead!

  Prof. Brandt : The gorilla - did you catch him?

  Jungle Jim : No, but I will.

  Prof. Brandt : How did he get away?

  Jungle Jim : He turned that leopard loose on me. It was pretty smart... for a gorilla.

• Prof. Brandt : How long do you think it will take?

  Kramer : A couple of days, maybe. We should have brought along some dynamite. Didn't that friend of yours tell you the gold was sealed up in there.

  Prof. Brandt : No. He wasn't exactly my friend.

  Kramer : He wasn't? How come he tipped you off to the Treasure of the Shalakari?

  Prof. Brandt : He valued his life more than gold. I happened to know he was wanted as a war criminal.

• Kramer : You're a pretty smart guy, Brandt.

  Prof. Brandt : Yeah? I wish I could say the same to you.

  Kramer : What do you mean by that crack?

  Prof. Brandt : Turning that leopard loose on Jungle Jim wasn't exactly smart! A gorilla wouldn't do a thing like that.

• [Jim, Nyobi and Barbara are securely bound hand and foot in Brandt's cave] 

  Prof. Brandt : It's no use, Jungle Jim. It will take you hours to get loose that way and I don't think you're gonna have that much time.

  Nyobi : If you're going to kill us, do it now and get it over with.

  Prof. Brandt : Really, Nyobi, aren't you being a little melodramatic?

  Barbara Bentley : Aren't you with your strutting and gloating?

  Prof. Brandt : All right, Jim, it's your turn. What have you got to say?

  Jungle Jim : There's just one thing... Brandt, I'm going to kill you.

• Prof. Brandt : This looks like quite an expedition. You mind if I go along?

  Jungle Jim : No, I think it would be a good idea. There's only one thing, Brandt...

  Prof. Brandt : Well, what's that?

  Jungle Jim : If we do catch a gorilla man, try not to shoot him.

• [Brandt's men capture Jungle Jim attempting to rescue Nyobi] 

  Kramer : It's Jungle Jim!

  Prof. Brandt : You were right, Kramer. He *is* hard to kill.

  Kramer : Not now he ain't!

• [Jungle Jim's manhunt stumbles upon a tiger mauling a lion in a fight to the death] 

  Prof. Brandt : I thought the lion was the King of the Jungle.

  Jungle Jim : That's storybook stuff. The tiger's by far the best fighter.

  Prof. Brandt : I didn't know that.

  Jungle Jim : You should. You're a zoologist, aren't you?
