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.

(YELLS JUNGLE CRY)

We have traveled many miles for water, Nkima,

and still the drought follows us like a hungry Sheeta.

(NKIMA GIBBERING)

We will go high into the mountains and perhaps find water there.

It is the footprint of a man, Nkima.

And he is of proportions that I cannot believe.

He must be twice the size of Tarzan.

(GIBBERING)

Curiosity has gotten the best of me, Nkima.

I must see this giant man With my own eyes.

TARZAN: This canyon is magnificent, Nkima.

Never before have I seen anything like it.

The giant's trail ends here. He must have climbed down the rocks.

Here again are the giant's tracks.

Strange. They stop here against these rocks.

If have never seen such a forest.

Look at the size of those trees.

(GIBBERING)

I see the trees are not the only giants in this strange land!

(SQUEALS)

There are men nearby, Nkima, perhaps three or four.

Come, we will have a look at these giants.

(TWIG SNAPS)

So, Uri, we have you at last.

You have led us a merry chase.

You do not have me yet, Keros.

Do not be foolish.

You stand no chance against the three of us!

Perhaps it is the three of you who stand no chance against me.

He is a man of great courage, Nkima.

But ll do not like the odds.

(GIBBERING)

KEROS: Who are you?

I am Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle.

I come here as a friend.

Take them.

(DISTANT BELLOWING)

(BELLOWING CONTINUES)

It is the great white beast.

Why do they fear Buto, the rhinoceros?

It is said, he is an evil god who has only assumed the form of a rhino.

He is the reason my people live in the trees like frightened monkeys

while our king uses their fear to rule with an iron fist.

When my father was imprisoned for speaking out against the king,

{ escaped to destroy the great beast

in hopes of freeing my people from King Odysseus.

1 will not support the destruction of an animal, Uri,

but I will help free your people from their fear of Buto.

For fear has a way of spreading.

But how can you help me, Tarzan?

Of your courage I have no doubt.

But I am afraid you are too small to do me much good.

You were saying, Uri?

I was saying, it will be an honor to have such a man

as Tarzan of the Apes at my side.

(SNIFFS)

There is water near but it is not good.

It is a river that leads from the swamp beneath the city, Tarzan.

-The water is stagnant. -(SNAKE HISSING)

(HISSING)

Tarzan, I can't breathe!

I am Tarzan of the Apes, Great Hista.

Release my friend

and I will release you.

(CHITTERING)

Unk, Hista. Return to your jungle!

(SIGHS) Once again I am grateful, Tarzan.

We will rest, Uri, then continue on.

It is a terrible thing, Uri.

All that water, but we cannot drink any of it.

Because the water is stagnant.

Ah, but I think soon we will have a storm

and the drought will end.

(DISTANT DRUMMING)

The drums speak, but I do not understand their message.

It is the drum of doom.

When it stops, my father will be executed unless I surrender myself to Odysseus!

1 will go to Zoram and free your father.

You cannot go alone, Tarzan.

The dungeon is heavily guarded as are the streets of Zoram!

In a city of giants, my friend,

I shall have the advantage.

You will have to look elsewhere for your meal, Gimla.

Besides,

1 would be little more than an appetizer

for one such as you.

(FOOTSTEPS)

Who goes there?

Keros, I wish to cross to the dungeon.

There is the dungeon.

Now, I must find a way to reach it.

It may be an animal.

I'll check.

Did you see anything?

No, nothing.

It must have been one of those monkeys.

But keep your eyes open just in case.

(SNORING)

(METAL CREAKING)

Who...

Who are you?

I am Tarzan of the Apes.

Are you the father of Uri?

Yes, I am Nuro.

But what?

There is no time to explain now. Trust Tarzan.

(SNORING CONTINUES)

You there. Halt!

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

There will be guards everywhere in a moment, Tarzan.

We don't stand a chance of getting away with my leg.

Then I shall divert them, while you continue on.

Uri waits across the river on the edge of the great forest.

But I cannot let you--

GUARD: Stop! Stop!

Halt! Halt!

You must go!

I will meet you later!

So, we meet again, Tarzan of the Apes!

What brings you to Zoram?

I have come to see your king.

Why do you want to see Odysseus, little man?

I have heard you eat as long and as great as Tantor, the elephant.

I wanted to see for myself!

Silence!

But it is a lie.

You eat more than Tantor, the elephant. (LAUGHING)

You will pay dearly for you insolence, ape-man!

Take him away.

Your majesty, Muro has escaped.

Escaped? How is that possible?

We do not know, Your Majesty.

The doors on his cage are locked.

Yet, there is no trace of him.

(DISTANT DRUMMING)

(NKIMA CHITTERS)

-(NKIMA GIBBERING) -(DRUMMING STOPS)

Stopping of the drum is a bad sign, Nkima.

Tarzan has failed in his bid to free my father.

Now there is only one thing to do, I must destroy Gallat!

Uri!

Uri!

(GROWLING)

The beast seems hungry, does he not, ape-man?

Stop him!

Stop him! He must not escape!

TARZAN: Muro.

It is I, Tarzan. Wake up, Muro.

Tarzan.

-You escaped! -Where is Uri?

I do not know.

He was not here when I arrived.

Then he has gone to destroy Galla.

I shall return soon with Uri.

(BELLOWING)

I feel sorrow for you now, great beast.

But this trap I set for you is for my people.

(BELLOWING)

That is Buto's cry.

I hope I am not too late!

(YELLS JUNGLE CRY)

Tarzan?

(BELLOWS)

(CONTINUES JUNGLE CRY)

(TRUMPETS)

Easy now, Buto.

Ko-ran, Tantor.

Straight back. Pull, pull.

Vando, Tantor. Good!

Buto is nearly free!

Dan-do, Tantor! Stop.

(TRUMPETING)

You are mighty and strong, Buto.

And are free once again to roam the forest.

Yo, Buto.

I am your friend.

Farewell, Buto.

Tarzan, why?

You cannot rid your people of their fear by destroying Buto.

For something else will take its place!

What is it, Tarzan?

A great storm approaches from the east.

But I see only a cloudless sky. How--

Usha, the wind, tells me.

Come, Uri.

We must reach your father before the warriors.

KEROS: These are the old man's footprints.

Here is the mark of his staff.

And where we find the old man, we will find Tarzan.

Do not worry so, Nkima. We are safe.

Muro!

(SQUEALS)

There are many men ahead, Uri.

-Isn't that where you left my father? -Yes.

I fear the warriors have captured him.

Then we must rescue him!

No, Uri. There are too many.

Now!

Forgive me, Tarzan.

I am afraid we have a bigger worry than Odysseus and his warriors, Uri.

That storm is even greater than I thought.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(WIND WHOOSHING)

TARZAN: Even the giant trees are no match for Usha's power.

They will soon crack like sticks and send the city crashing to the ground.

We must escape and lead your people to safety.

Their fear of the great beast is too great, Tarzan.

They will never leave the trees!

But we must try, Father.

If Zoram collapses, we will all perish!

(CHAIN RATTLING)

(CREAKING)

The trees are being torn apart.

We haven't much time.

The city is collapsing!

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(YELLING JUNGLE CRY)

You cannot stay here, people of Zoram.

Soon your city will crash to the ground and take you with it!

We will never return to the land of the great beast.

For we would surely perish!

The great beast is not a God.

He is an animal and nothing more!

I have seen it with my own eyes!

The king has lied!

Follow us to the ground to a new life

away from the trees!

We will stay!

The great beast has come to claim us!

Yel, Buto! Here.

Hold up the tree!

Nala den, Buto!

Push the tree!

It is not possible!

The great beast has saved our lives!

Now, will you follow us to the ground, Zoramians?

We will follow.

Look!

(CRASHING)

URI: The city of Zoram is no more!

(SNORTS)

TARZAN: It is a most beautiful site for your new city, gentlemen.

URI: Yes, It will be a new start for all of us.

Including Odysseus.

Who will be the first resident of our dungeon.

Never again will our people be dominated by fear.

It has been a bitter lesson, but we have learned it well.

I am pleased it has gone well

but the rains have come again and now I must return to my jungle.

Tarzan, where is Nkima?

I do not know.

(GIBBERING)

It looks as though Nkima has found something else to run from.

Besides Usha, the wind.

Forgive Nkima, Tongani.

Unk, go now.

(GIBBERING)

(ALL LAUGHING)

You are very brave, little one.

Look, how the Tongani retreats.

(ALL LAUGH)
