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 I protect those who come here,

for I am Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle.

TARZAN: { smell it too, Nkima.

Numa the lion is near.

And so is death.

Relax, little friend, death is no stranger to the jungle.

(GROWLING)

What a brave little fellow you are.

But illness has taken your mother and if you remain here, you will also die.

Come.

(NKIMA SQUEALS)

TARZAN: Easy, easy...

I am your friend.

I am Tarzan of the apes.

TARZAN: And you shall be called Jad-bal-ja,

the Golden Lion.

We will teach you all that your mother would have,

and more.

(GIBBERING EXCITEDLY)

Manu, what is it?

(MANU CONTINUES GIBBERING)

Courage, Manu, 1 will find your brothers and sisters.

Jad-bal-ja, stay.

We shall be traveling light and fast.

Come, Nkima.

Manu, unk!

(ROARING)

(GIBBERING)

They went through the falls?

Nkima, you had better stay here with Manu.

TARZAN: I will only be gone a few days, little friend.

Besides, the journey looks to be a wet one.

(LAUGHS)

Very well, then. You may come.

Hold tightly, Nkima.

NKima, I think the answer to our mystery lies somewhere in this valley.

The treetops will hide us from unfriendly eyes.

(GIBBERS)

(CACKLING)

(EXCLAIMS)

Never have I seen such huts.

(SHOUTS)

(WHIP CRACKS)

Amazing.

A man one step removed from Bolgani, the gorilla.

I need 10 workers!

Now.

Move.

{ said move, you miserable worms.

(LAUGHS)

Hando the hornet knows how to deal with bullies.

I am Tarzan of the apes.

Who is the creature who comes into your village and threatens you?

He is a Bolmangani.

A gorilla man.

You have angered the Bolmangani. They will return.

Tell me more of the Bolmangani.

Please go.

You have caused enough trouble already.

Come, Nkima, let us seek out the Bolmangani.

BOY: Wait, I... I can help you.

I can show you where the Bolmangani live.

That would be a great help.

But the monkey is safer here.

The Bolmangani take monkeys as slaves.

TARZAN: It is as I thought.

Nkima, you will stay here.

What is your name, boy?

-Koni. -Very well, Koni, lead the way.

There.

There is the place of the Bolmangani.

It is impressive.

Stay here, I want a closer look.

But aren't you afraid?

Sometimes we must face our fears to do what is necessary.

Manu's brothers and sisters!

What they do to your people and to the jungle animals is wrong.

But it has always been so.

Since before my grandfather.

Your people far outnumber the Bolmangani.

Why have you not stopped this long ago?

We are too small.

Hando the hornet is even smaller,

but he and his tribe drove the Bolmangani away.

Your people can do the same.

(ROARS)

All this happened because of you, Tarzan.

Because you angered the Bolmangani.

And I will soon anger them again,

when I retrieve Nkima.

No, Tarzan, it is useless to try.

You will only wind up a slave like the others.

You are the slaves.

What do you mean?

TARZAN: You are slaves to your own fears.

Even now you are under the Bolmangani's power

as surely as if you were chained to one of their ore carts.

And things will never change until your people decide to change them.

KONI: Tarzan, don't go.

(ROARS)

TARZAN: You are slaves to your own fears.

And things will never change until your people decide to change them.

But we are too small.

TARZAN: Hando the hornet is even smaller...

(GROANS)

But he and his tribe drove the Bolmangani away.

TARZAN: Your people can do the same.

The same...

The same...

(ROARING)

(ELEPHANT TRUMPETING)

Tarzan?

Tarzan, are you here?

Tarzan? (GASPS)

Yes?

KONI: It is you.

Tarzan, ...

I have decided to go with you.

-TARZAN: it will be dangerous. - know.

And my first concern is to free Nkima and the other captive animals.

But what of my people?

That is up to them and you.

I cannot free those who do not wish to be free.

(TRUMPETS)

(TRUMPETING)

It is time. Ready?

(EXCLAIMS)

Koni? Koni, where are you?

Koni, where are you?

Koni?

This pole must not be found.

But how will we get out?

Through the gate, naturally.

Naturally.

Now let us find where they keep their slaves at night.

Shh!

(ROARING)

(SCREAMS)

Mother!

Intruders!

Seize them!

Lock them up.

The Emperor will deal with them in the morning.

(TRUMPETING)

(EXCITED GIBBERING)

Silence!

(GONG RINGS)

Make way for the Emperor!

(GONG CONTINUES)

(FANFARE PLAYS)

So, this is the one who would steal my slaves away.

I am Tarzan of the apes

and I seek nothing that has not already been stolen.

Meaning?

Meaning the small monkeys

your soldiers have captured and brought here in chains.

(LAUGHING)

They are dumb animals,

as are all our slaves.

EMPEROR: We give them food and shelter.

What more could they want?

Their freedom.

You are a fool

and you will meet a fool's fate today.

What is about to happen to you will set an example for my slaves,

who might take your talk of freedom seriously.

Guards, begin.

Get to work, you little loafers!

(ROARS)

(TRUMPETING)

(ROARS)

Mother, we cannot let this happen.

There is nothing we can do, Koni.

It is hopeless.

No.

Hey! Come back here!

Stop him!

-Tarzan! -Koni, no!

(ROARING)

(YELLING JUNGLE CRY)

(ELEPHANTS TRUMPETING)

TARZAN: Throw me the spear, Koni.

Hurry, Tarzan! Hurry!

(ROARING)

(YELLING)

(TRUMPETING)

Guards! Protect me!

TARZAN: Come, Nkima! All you Manus!

We must help Tantor and Jad-bal-ja.

(GROWLING)

My people, freedom can be ours!

KONI: But we must act together!

Are you with me?

(ALL CHEERING)

(EXCLAIMS)

(ROARS)

What are you doing?

Stand up and fight like soldiers!

I order you!

(TRUMPETS)

(ALL SHOUTING)

This is a proud day for your people, Koni.

Never again will the Bolmangani rule this valley.

Yes, and we owe you a great debt of thanks, Tarzan.

TARZAN: You owe me nothing.

You saved my life,

and I am forever grateful.

Tantor, nala.

I must go now, my friends.

Perhaps someday we will meet again.

A safe journey to you, Tarzan.

We will never forget you.

Nor I you.

Farewell.
