• Tantor : That sounded like Tarzan. It sounded like - like he was in trouble.

  Terk : Yeah? Well, why doesn't he get his new friends to help him? I don't care.

  [Terk starts to walk away, but Tantor grabs her with his trunk] 

  Tantor : Thaaaaat's IT! I've had it with you and your emotional constipation! Tarzan needs us, and we're gonna help him! You got that?

  [He places her on his back] 

  Tantor : Now pipe down, and hang on tight! We've got a boat to catch.

  [Tantor charges off a cliff and into the ocean] 

  Tantor : I've never felt so alive!

  Terk : Good, 'cause I'm gonna kill you!

• Terk : What kind of animal are you?

  Tantor : You know, I've been thinking lately that maybe Tarzan could be some sub-species of elephant.

  Terk : What are you... What do you mean? An elephant?

  Tantor : Listen to me, think about it. He enjoys a peanut, I enjoy a peanut...

  Terk : He looks nothing like you!

• Tantor : [as Tarzan is leaving on the boat]  Tarzan!

  Terk : We're too late! I can't believe it! If you'd to pull over and asked for directions.

  Tantor : We didn't get to say goodbye.

  Terk : Yeah? Well, good riddance, alright? Who needs you? Huh? Go on, get out of here, bald boy! You ingrate! You bald ingrate!

  [She throws a rock at the water] 

  Terk : Go out and rot, for all I care! Go!

  [She sadly sits beside Tantor, and notices the elephant's expression] 

  Terk : What are you looking at?

  Tantor : I'm gonna miss him, too.

  [Terk smacks Tantor's foot away and walks back into the jungle] 

• [a gunshot breaks the jungle silence] 

  Tarzan : What was that?

  Tantor : It wasn't me, I swear.

• [Terk and Tarzan are wrestling] 

  Tantor : Whoa! Okay. It's all fun and games till someone loses an eye.

• Tantor : Oh, Terk, I've never seen him so happy.

  Terk : Eh, I give it a week.

• Tantor : [Terk is dressed in Jane's dress to lure Kerchak away]  Actually, I thought that dress was rather slimming on you.

  Terk : Oh, really? I thought it was a little revealing, and kinda...

• Tantor : What's everybody lookin' at?

  Tantor : [sees the camp]  Ooh! The horror! It's gruesome! Hide me!

  Terk : Pull yourself together. You're embarrasing me. These things aren't alive.

  Tantor : I knew that.
