Watusi - O Gigante Africano

Rick Cobb: [having a beer with Quartermain] Ah, beer's the only thing that makes this stinking place bearable.

Rick Cobb: [to Quartermain, who is expressing interest in going off in search of the legendary mines of King Solomon, as his father did before him] You're worse than your father. He pushed his luck, and Africa got him - even him.

Rick Cobb: You know, my idea of heaven would be to round up all the mosquitoes in the world and burn them to death - slowly. Real slow!

Erica Neuler: [Amtaga has just told something rather amusing to Rick] What did he say, Rick?
Rick Cobb: It's a Watusi proverb. "Two virgins and one man is only good. But two men and one could destroy all three."
Erica Neuler: He's very wise.

Rick Cobb: Look, Erica. I'm pretty beat up, and I haven't got too much hair, and I'm not too young anymore. What I mean to say is, well, I'd like you to marry me.
Erica Neuler: It's difficult to think with so much danger around.
Rick Cobb: Not for me it isn't! Oh, well. I'd have made a lousy husband, anyway.

Rick Cobb: I was a friend of your father's.
Harry Quartermain: That's right. I thought he'd told me everything about you.
Rick Cobb: He had. Everything he considered important. It didn't make any difference to him. He judged a man as a man.
Harry Quartermain: He was right. He was so very right

Rick Cobb: [Harry and Erica are getting married, and have decided to remain behind in Africa] Good luck to both of you.
Harry Quartermain: I'm proud to have you as a friend, Rick.
Harry Quartermain: [removes his bayonet, hands it to Rick] Do me a favor, will you? Take this with you... bury it somewhere in the desert.
Rick Cobb: I'll bury it deep.
Rick Cobb: [turns to Erica] I'd have made a lousy husband anyway.
Rick Cobb: [turns to leave, then stops at the door] You know, the drums carry a long distance. I hope one day they'll tell me you have a fine son.

Rick Cobb: [Harry has just coldly rebuffed a German hunter who was offering to come along on safari with them] You know, Harry, we could've used another gun.
Harry Quartermain: Maybe. But we'll handle it ourselves.
Rick Cobb: What's the matter with you? You still fighting the war?
Harry Quartermain: No, four years was quite enough. This is just personal. My mother and sister were drowned in 1916. A U-boat got their ship.
Rick Cobb: A lot of people died unnecessarily.
Harry Quartermain: That's right. But in this case, I had to identify their bodies. My sister was still in mother's arms. She was eight. Just a child. And she had no legs. No legs, just stumps. Mother had her child - half a child - in her arms. I know he had nothing to do with it, but I just don't want any of them around me, that's all.

Rick Cobb: Look, Erica, perhaps by tomorrow, we'll have the diamonds.
Erica Neuler: Is it so important to you?
Rick Cobb: Yes and... no. Look, Erica, I'm pretty beat up, and I'm not as young as I used to be. Without the diamonds I'd have to earn my keep as a hunter. If we get the diamonds, why, you'd be wealthy, too. I thought that...
Erica Neuler: You're not "beat up," Rick. You're a wonderful man! You have been so kind to me. You both have.
Rick Cobb: Well, what I meant was, um... will you marry me?
Erica Neuler: Even if we get the diamonds we have a long way back. It's so difficult to think clearly with so much danger around.
Rick Cobb: Not for me it isn't.
Erica Neuler: You and Harry... sometimes I don't know what I see.
Rick Cobb: What do you mean by that, Erica?
Erica Neuler: All my life I've been told what to do. It was so easy then. Now... I don't know how to make a decision.
[turns and walks out, leaving Rick looking a bit disappointed]
