- Bomba: Not happened. Bomba track panther. Black cat is killer.
- Robert Maitland: Black panther. Do you suppose that could be the one that's been attacking my men?
- Comm. Andy Barnes: It's possible. Woods are full of cats.
- Bomba: Most cats kill for food. Panther kill just to kill. Must die.
- Judy Maitland: But the natives seemed afraid of us.
- Comm. Andy Barnes: Not you - Losana. They think she's some kind of a reincarnated cat, remember?
- Losana: A cat, Mosieur? That is too funny. I have been called Kitten before, but never a cat.
- Judy Maitland: Since when is it foolish to want to be happy?
- Comm. Andy Barnes: Happiness doesn't lie in having the things you like, but in liking the things you have.

- Robert Maitland: Don't you understand what I said?
- Eli: Eli understand, but Bwana Barnes sa...
- Robert Maitland: I know what he said. Suppose it does burn up half of Africa? A small loss if you ask me.
- Eli: Yes, Bwana.

- Robert Maitland: Well, this makes twice in three weeks that one of our sentries has been attacked.
- Comm. Andy Barnes: Aye, poor fellow. Something else you hadn't counted on when you signed up with that agricultural development commission, aye lad?
