Original subtitles

TARZAN: The jungle.

Here I was born.

And here my parents died when I was but an infant.

I would have soon perished, too, had I not been found

by a kindly she-ape named Kala,

who adopted me as her own, and taught me the ways of the wild.

I learned quickly and grew stronger each day.

And now, I share the friendship and trust of all jungle animals.

The jungle is filled with beauty,

and danger.

And lost cities filled with good and evil.

This is my domain and protect those who come here,

for I am Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle.

(JUNGLE CRY)

(JUNGLE CRY)

(GIBBERING)

Nkima, will you never grow tired?

My apologies, little friend.

What is a Viking dragon ship doing in our jungle?

Do not tell me what I saw.

There was a man swinging through the trees.

Or would one of you challenge my eyesight with a broadsword?

We will search until we find him.

(SHEETA SNARLING)

(GROWLING)

Go home, Sheeta, there are too many for you.

Go how.

By the hammer of Thor! I told you it was a man and not a gorilla.

I am Tarzan of the apes.

Who are you and where do you come from?

I am Torvald, the Viking, and you will come with me!

Seize him!

Hold, Torvald.

1 will go with you on one condition.

What is that?

That you allow Nkima to go free.

The monkey?

(TORVALD CHUCKLING)

We do not make slaves of monkeys. Set him free.

Go quickly, Nkima. Tell our friends what has happened.

(GIBBERING)

I am ready, Torvald.

It is no use, Karina. Your father will never let us marry.

1 will talk to him again, Bjorn. Maybe he will change his mind.

Never. He thinks I am a coward.

ll don't care. I won't marry Torvald.

Your father is the village chieftain. You must obey him!

If he forces me to marry Torvald, I will run away.

Very soon now, Tarzan, you will begin your new life as a slave.

Never, Viking. I will never be a slave.

You think not? Around that bend

lies our village of Wotenheim,

where I shall be happy to teach you how a slave should act.

Sound the horn!

(HORN BLOWING)

ERIC: Karina, my little dove,

I am your father. I know what is best for you.

Bjorn is best for me!

Bjorn is not a Viking. He will be a lawman like his father.

What is wrong with that? The people need a spokesman.

You know the law.

If you refuse to abide by my arrangements, you will be banished from the village.

Torvald returns. Come, Karina.

Welcome home, Viking.

It is good to be back, Eric.

Karina.

Hello, Torvald.

I knew you would be here to greet me.

This one is a fine looking slave.

How much are you asking for him?

You do not have enough room in your hall for another slave.

Not for me, for Karina.

I am Tarzan of the apes, not a slave to be bought and sold.

I am giving you to my daughter as her personal slave, Tarzan of the apes.

And your life is forfeit for hers.

Let nothing happen to her or you will feel a Viking's wrath.

The legends say that over 1,000 years ago,

a Viking armada left our homeland to conquer the people to the south.

But Odin grew angry at the small sacrifices to him,

and sent the north wind to overtake them.

The storm destroyed all but one longboat, and that was driven so far off course,

the survivors were never able to find their way home again.

And you are the descendants of those survivors?

-Yes. We are all-- -Karina! Where are you?

It's Bjorn.

Tarzan!

So, little rabbit.

I warned you about sneaking off to see Karina!

Bjorn cannot swim. Do not let him...

Hang on.

Prepare yourself, little rabbit.

Torvald. Put him down.

(CHUCKLING) Gladly, ape-man. And you shall take his place.

I think maybe your father is right, Karina.

No, Bjorn.

A true Viking does not need anyone to fight for him.

Listen, Bjorn.

Being able to fight does not mean you are a man!

It takes more than that!

Perhaps where you come from, Tarzan, but you are not a Viking.

And perhaps I am not, either.

By the hand of Tyr, when I am jarl of this village,

Bjorn and that slave will pay dearly.

And when will that be, Torvald?

Soon, Lars. Very soon.

The betrothal ceremony takes place tomorrow.

I congratulate you, Torvald,

but I feel sorry for the girl.

(SQUAWKING)

KARINA: No, Father, you can't.

It is not me Torvald wants.

It is to take your place as chieftain of our village.

Enough! Torvald is a true Viking and I have promised you to him.

(WHISTLES)

Good boy, my hunter.

How lucky you are not to have any young ones.

A beautiful hunting falcon, Jarl Eric.

And a dangerous one. Do not come too close.

CHUCKLES) Lu Neeta and I do not fear each other.

He does not like strangers.

In the jungle, there are no strangers.

(TARZAN WHISTLES)

I am impressed.

The hunter has never answered any call but mine.

Perhaps there is a lesson there.

No man owns anyone or anything completely.

That girl would be late to heavenly Asgard if the gods invited her!

WOMAN: Jarl Eric, Jarl Eric!

She's gone. Karina is gone.

Gone where? This is her betrothal day. Where would she go? Speak up, woman.

I don't know. Her bed has not been slept in.

Bjorn! It must be him.

-When I get my hands-- -TARZAN: No.

It was not Bjorn. Karina ran off by herself.

How do you know?

I followed her spoor to the jungle.

That's where she has gone. Alone.

With your help, no doubt.

You are her slave, Tarzan of the apes.

I warned you once. I say it again.

If anything happens to Karina, you will pay.

And I tell you again, Eric, I am no one's slave.

I will find Karina, not because of your threats,

but because I wish no harm to come to her.

I do not trust that one, Eric. I will follow him.

Lars, Haldar, come with me!

Little Nkima's sharp eyes could be a help here.

1 wonder where he is right now.

(GIBBERING)

(TRUMPETING)

(TRUMPETING CONTINUES)

Eric, what word of Karina?

That is no concern of yours, lawman, nor of your son's.

Will you never learn, Eric?

Fighting is no longer our reason for living.

1 was born a Viking and I shall die a Viking.

My grandsons will be sired by a true Viking.

Not by a weakling like Bjorn.

Now go, and leave me in peace.

(SQUAWKING)

(HISSING)

(HISSING)

TARZAN: Karina, run!

You should know better, Histah!

Tarzan is too big a mouthful for you.

Untie yourself, Histah, and leave my friends alone.

Karina! Karina!

No, I will not go back!

You cannot make me marry Torvald!

Karina!

She's headed for the falls.

Tarzan, help!

Tarzan!

So, the ape that looks like a man has failed to find our Karina.

I am afraid she is lost.

We think you killed her, Tarzan,

and for that you will pay.

Unless you have a witness to prove your innocence.

KARINA: Tarzan, help me.

I may have a withess.

Torvald, what are we going to do?

There is nothing we can do!

TARZAN: Torvald, give me your bow.

Give you my bow?

Give me your bow, Torvald.

Hurry, Tarzan, please.

TORVALD: What good will that do?

-She is too weak to use the vine. - will help her.

Tarzan, may the luck of the gods be with you.

Oh!

Thank you, Tarzan.

Don't thank me yet.

We still have to get you back.

He has the courage of a Viking, that one.

-Just do not forget, he is still a slave. -HALDAR: Not for long.

What do you mean?

If he saves Karina's life, Eric is sure to free him.

I did not think of that.

Just one hand after the other.

If you lose your grip, Haldar and I still have you.

You cannot fall. Now go.

Take her home. 1 will stay and help Tarzan.

I promised you a lesson, ape-man.

Now learn it. Rescue yourself.

He saved my life, Father. I could not have held on another minute.

We must reward him, my child.

Yes, Tarzan will have his freedom at your betrothal ceremony.

Father!

Go now, and tell Helga to prepare the ceremony,

and a hero's feast for Tarzan.

For saving your life, I will be in Tarzan's debt forever.

He should have been back by now.

-Karina, -Where is Tarzan?

We have bad news, my child.

-No! -TORVALD: I'm sorry, Karina.

How did it happen?

He was on his way back when the vine snapped.

(GASPS) Oh, Bjorn!

ERIC: Come, Karina.

Torvald has been patient, but now you must prepare for the ceremony.

Torvald, are you sure it was an accident?

You forget, little man, Tarzan is not here to protect you now.

This is not the time, Torvald.

Later then, Bjorn.

1 will come back for you when this is over.

(LION ROARS)

(TRUMPETING)

You are getting braver, Ska, but the time has not yet come.

Where the carrion bird flies.

-Tarzan! -Bjorn!

What can I do?

Nothing. It's too dangerous.

There must be something.

Bjorn, do not try anything foolish.

Do not worry, Tarzan, I will get you out!

You can pull yourself up and swim to shore!

No. No, Bjorn!

The current is too swift. You cannot make it.

I must try, Tarzan.

-I owe it to you for saving Karina's life. -Bjorn!

Bjorn! Bjorn!

(SPLASHING)

-Bjorn! - am here, Tarzan.

On the rocks.

Are you all right?

I cannot hold on much longer.

(JUNGLE CRY)

(GIBBERING)

(TRUMPETS)

Help is coming, Bjorn!

BJORN: Tarzan!

Hold tight, Bjorn, it won't be long.

Tantor! Nkima! Mangani!

(GIBBERING)

TARZAN: Be careful, Mangani. The current is dangerous.

It is no use, Tarzan.

Even the vulture knows we are doomed.

That is not Ska, that is Hunter. Eric's falcon.

Don't give up. There's still a chance.

(TARZAN WHISTLES)

-He heard. -But he is only a bird.

There is nothing he can do.

Good, little Hunter. Give me the vine.

Take it, Lu Neeta. Take it and fly to Mangani.

He does not understand.

Take it, little one. Give it to Mangani.

TARZAN: Mangani, be ready.

Good, Mangani.

Now back, slowly.

(GIBBERING)

Little Nkima, once more you have saved my life.

Yes. Yes, yes, 1 want to hear all your adventures.

But first there is something we must do.

Karina and Torvald,

now that the dower and mundr have been agreed upon,

it is time to plight your troth.

Is any man present who dare say nay to this?

Very well.

-I now declare-- -BJORN: I say nay!

Bjorn!

ERIC: Who speaks and says nay?

Bjorn, son of Sven, the lawman.

-This time I shall make sure-- -Hold!

It is Viking law that all may speak at a betrothal.

Speak, Bjorn, son of Sven!

Why say you nay?

In the eyes of Odin, I charge Torvald with lying to his chieftain,

his wife-to-be,

and attempting the destruction of Tarzan of the apes.

1 will hear no more of these lies!

The charges are serious, Bjorn. Can you prove them?

(JUNGLE CALL)

Tarzan! Torvald said you were dead.

He lied.

What say you, Torvald?

I say you are too old to be chieftain anymore.

I say I failed to get rid of Tarzan, but I will not fail again.

Seize him!

(MEN CLAMORING)

(JUNGLE CRY)

(ROARS)

(ALL ROARING)

Do they belong to you?

Only slaves belong to someone.

Numa is my friend.

Your tongue is as sharp as a spear, but I shall remember.

Remember, too, Eric, that courage comes in different shapes.

You speak of the boy, Bjorn?

I speak of the man, Bjorn,

who risked his life to save mine because that was the way of a Viking.

You have a wisdom beyond your years, Tarzan. I listen.

Even a Viking cannot live forever, Eric.

Soon it will be time to choose and train a new chieftain.

And who better than a man of the law with the courage of a warrior?

By the magic belt of Thor, you speak the truth.

And you, Eric, finally speak as a true Viking leader.

Our ancestors may yet be proud of you.

Hold your tongue, lawman. We are not related yet.

First the traitors must be punished according to Viking law.

And after that, perhaps,

we may then have a betrothal ceremony.
