- Patricia Harland: I think I'd better get out of here. Before I decide to stay the rest of my life.
- Bomba: Not like home?
- Patricia Harland: That's just it. I like it too much.
- Bomba: Why not stay? All good here. All friends.
- Patricia Harland: Don't try to talk me into it. It'd be too easy.
- Patricia Harland: Have you got a leopard skin I can have?
- [Bomba starts to take off his loin cloth]
- Patricia Harland: Oh no, Bomba, you keep that one. Get me a little bigger one.
- Bomba: This best one.
- Patricia Harland: Well, I'm not fussy. Second best is good enough for me.

- George Harland: That's strange. Him turning down all we have to offer for a for a hole in the hill, a flock of wild animals.
- Patricia Harland: I'm not so sure.
- [first lines]
- Andy Barnes: What are the drums saying, Eli? Good news or bad?
- Eli: Not good news, Boss. Not bad. Say safari come.
- Eli: [after watching slow motion footage of a herd of giraffe] Bana say Bwana bring little black box on lion hunt, make simba hurry up slower. Much easier to kill.
- Andy Barnes: Out there's part of it. Out there beyond the big rift; a vast unexplored wilderness of secrets that are known to nobody except the good Lord himself.
- George Harland: That's what I've come ten thousand miles to photograph.
- George Harland: How much further off is this rift you keep talking about? We've been marching for three days already.
- Andy Barnes: Oh, another three day stretch should do it. That is if you don't stop too long to take pictures.
- George Harland: Pictures? I could find more to shoot in my aunt's backyard than I've seen since left the station.
- Mufti: Fire grow on trees in there. Elephant got two heads. River all hot lead. Mountains roar like lions.
- Patricia Harland: Where on earth did you hear all that?
- Mufti: Eli say little man turn big, big man turn little. Birds hunt deer. Lions roost in trees.
- Patricia Harland: Don't tell Dad or he'll have us in there. Quick.
- Patricia Harland: Well, I'm going to stick to you until I can make you take me back to camp. I can't stay out here all alone.
- Bomba: Not bad be alone.
- Patricia Harland: Well, you're going to have company whether you like it or not.
- Bomba: Not like.
- Patricia Harland: That's fine. Then you can just take me back to my father.
- Patricia Harland: Who are you, anyway?
- Bomba: Bomba.
- Patricia Harland: Bomba? That's a funny name.
- Bomba: My name.
