Dialogue[edit]

Native Chief: Plenty big job to get forty boy for you. They scared of voodoo.
Wayne Monroe: Voodoo? I thought you were all over that business, Tonga.
Native Chief: Tonga no 'fraid for voodoo. But boy plenty 'fraid.
Wayne Monroe: What's the voodoo this time? Just what are they afraid of?
Native Chief: White woman.
Wayne Monroe: Well, I can't say as I blame 'em.
Native Chief: Pretty white woman, but bad. She is queen of the she-devils. Very pretty, but good native is 'fraid from her. White goddess!
Narrator: Well, bless my soul! A white goddess in the jungle?
Wayne Monroe: White goddess, huh? She-devils. Hmm!

Zita, the Amazon Queen: ...Greg has promised to marry you, and men are stupid when bound by such promises. All I know is that he loves me, and if he were free, he'd marry me.
Jean Preston: As far as his promise goes, don't think I would hold him for one instant if he really wanted to be free.
Zita, the Amazon Queen: Do you really mean that honestly?
Jean Preston: Of course, I mean it!
Zita, the Amazon Queen: I'm glad you're inclined to feel so sensible about it because I would have had you keeled rather than give him up. You see, here in the jungle such things are easily managed, and I'm not bound by the conventional laws of society that hamper you. Greg says that I'm more than half savage, and maybe I am. All I know is that I'm willing to fight for what I want.
