The Legend of Tarzan Page #3

On my last visit to Europe,

I attended a few lectures

at the Sorbonne.

The king of France

got a soft clap.

Henry Morton Stanley, a bastard

orphaned by birth, got a standing ovation.

You know.

People love a good story.

Yeah, few are born

blue bloods like your husband.

But everyone can relate to

a low born scrapper who

rescued his king from bankruptcy

and saved the honor of his nation.

That is a man who will

never be forgotten.

My king's army is due in 6 days.

All I have left to do is deliver

Tarzan to chief Mbonga.

I doubt you recognize the name.

I'm aware of his obsessive

desire to kill your husband

but I have yet to

discover the cause:

"What did Tarzan do?"

He killed his only son.

- Oh.

- Mm.

And get ready because

that is nothing

compare to what

he will do to you.

Your husband's wildness disturbs me

more than I can easily express.

Whereas your spirit.

My knife, please.

Slowly.

Your friend won't float.

Thank you.

Lady Clayton's finished.

A normal man can do the impossible

to save the woman he loves.

My husband is no normal man.

You cannot go alone.

They consider seven a raid.

None of us will survive.

This says it's against the law

to pay natives to work.

This is ledger of all

the slaves taken so far.

Slave labor.

Diamonds everywhere.

Rom is going to make his monarch

the richest king in the world.

Dr. Williams, you have your evidence.

I'll take care of Rom.

I have no choice.

I'll lose 2 days going around.

- Go around what?

- Mangani.

Those gorillas you used to live with?

They are not gorillas.

Gorillas are gentle.

Mangani are not.

I've never left a friend in trouble.

Or a partner in the lurch.

I'm not about to start now.

Stop calling me Doctor.

My name is George.

We'll keep your proof safe, George.

I know.

Meet us in Boma.

- If we don't make it back.

- We will... with your family.

Get the books to my

grandfather in London.

- Still not waiting for you.

- Tell me something I didn't know.

What I wouldn't give

for a horse right now.

Why is it

people don't ride zebras?

The horses kick to escape.

Zebras continue until you are dead.

Zeebra. Zehbra.

Tomayto. Tomahto.

It's nearly impossible to take the

wild out of something born to it.

It seem to work with you.

Look.

I feel foolish for asking, but...

Can you really talk to animals?

You're an educated man, Dr. Williams.

You tell me.

Hey.

Hey, pretty lady.

That's a male.

He's warning us to stay clear.

You're trying to tell me

those things are deadly?

If you get too close

it will knock you to the ground

and disembowel you

with those 3 inch talons.

No ostrich is going to kill me.

You can try and ride him.

Ha ha.

You like that, wouldn't you.

Oh.

Damn.

That is one odious aroma.

- Woo, god.

- Keep your voice low.

That them?

You don't want to do that, George.

Kill one and the rest won't stop

until they torn you to pieces.

So how do you

want to play this?

Their leader will come down

and we'll fight.

You're going to fight one of those?

Oh I wish.

I have to fight Akut.

He's my brother once.

And now he will consider

me a deserter.

Whatever happens,

do not interfere.

- Understand?

- Mm-hm.

Christ almighty.

That's Akut?

You sure you don't want

me to shoot him?

Promise me.

.

Get on your knees and bow.

Right now!

Expose your most vulnerable parts.

You want me to

lick his nuts too?

If you want to live.

- George.

- I wasn't gonna.

Oh, you looked like you would.

- Is he coming back?

- No.

He's quite decisive.

This bite is infected, you're

going to have problems.

And there's this.

Now you know,

I was not going to lick his...

- You looked like you are.

- Well, I wasn't.

You aren't going anywhere

until we get this stitched up.

Are you eating them?

- Taste like bacon.

- Eww.

You get us a nice fat snake,

I'll grub on that.

Snake's a good meat.

I ain't eating no damn ant.

Well, suit yourself.

And when you are finished,

chew the flowers until poultice and

wipe it on the cut with a rub.

That will hold.

Are you aware that you always seem not

going to do something right before you do it?

Yeah?

Well.

That's only since I've been

saddled with your company.

How is it?

It's manageable.

Pain.

I got too much

experience with it.

The Civil War was dark fighting.

But I was proud

to be part of it.

It changed me though.

Afterward, I was a walking

talking powder keg.

Joined up to fight

Maximilian down in Mexico.

Then, worked as an Indian fighter.

Did both those for the money.

I was young.

That's no excuse.

Mexico was bad.

But what we did

to the Indians...

I'm not better than those Belgians.

My old friend.

The Tekes say an elephant's eyes

speak the greatest language.

Who else can make you feel

so much without a word?

Is Mr. Rom ready for some

more scintillating conversation?

He was the only reason you

were serviced.

Serviced?

Is that what your

mother would call it?

Shut your mouth!

Stop the boat!

Stop the boat!

Turn it around!

Stop shooting!

You'll hit the girl!

That woman.

Wait!

They'll follow my tracks!

Go get help!

Go!

Promise you won't hurt them?

No!

Stop!

Please, stop!

John!

Stop!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Please!

Please!

Please!

- Come on.

- Move out!

What was that?

Tarzan.

Although it sounded

different than I thought.

Better.

Schmidt-Rubin.

John!

John!

Stop!

John!

Now you feel my pain!

I'm not your enemy.

Rom is buying an army

with your jewels.

- They cannot touch us!

- You know nothing!

Your lands are full of diamonds!

He'll come back for them.

Your chief is under my knife!

You are under my knife!

Finish it.

Finish it.

STOP!

Your son killed the only person

who ever cared about me.

It was an animal.

She was my mother.

How was he to know?

My son was just a boy!

Not like you!

Where was your honor?

I...

I had none.

I had none.

Can we please just stop this?

We won't get all of you,

or you us.

But Rom will.

He'll wipe you out.

Every last one of you.

Like you never even existed.

You think that's impossible?

You are looking at a man

that had seen it happened.

Rom's got the diamonds.

There's a thousand men down there.

And 20,000 more on the way.

We're screwed.

- Where are you going?

- To get some friends.

Active stations!

Prepare to land!

It doesn't matter.

He's too late.

Run! Run!

Fall back!

Bring her!

- Run!

- Move!

Grab the diamonds!

Run!

John!

No!

John!

John!

Get out.

Get out.

Get to the boat!

Go!

We're coming!

Hang on!

John?

That's the payment.

Lower the skiff and don't dally.

Did you see him?

Is he down there?

1886 model Maxim machine gun.

This is way better than

my Walker Colts.

Mr. Rom!

Mr. Frum, you portly coward!

Come and get your diamonds!

Farewell, sweet lord.

Take Tarzan with you.

The future belongs to me.

What was that?

Mating Call.

Tarzan!

Tarzan!

John!

John...

We are not going to go

into that mess for free.

Raise the anchor.

Ain't this a hell of a day?
