• Phroso 'Dead-Legs' : I'm particular who I eat with. Feed her on the floor!

  Doc : I'm down pretty low, but not so far that I'll stand for this.

  Phroso 'Dead-Legs' : Yair? Well, you'll stand for anything *I* say.

  Maizie : Say, Mister! Don't get in trouble on account of me.

  Doc : I'll eat with her. I'm particular about who I eat with, too.

• Bumbu : King Lunkaboola... he... come!

  Doc : Dead-Legs, if you keep bringin' those black-birds here for your daft shows... they'll tumble to our game!

  Phroso 'Dead-Legs' : Forget it, Doc! Get my box of tricks!

  Doc : We'll end up being a mess of chops for those cannibals!

  Phroso 'Dead-Legs' : Chops... nothin'! I'm goin' to be king of the whole pack!

• Doc : You're a puzzle, Dead-Legs. One minute you're a fiend and the next... you're almost human.

  Phroso 'Dead-Legs' : You ain't here to understand me, Doc. You're here 'cause I need you to keep me crawlin'.

  Doc : At that, I guess it's healthier to be with you than against you.

• Maizie : Why let him feed you with that stuff? You look as if you used to be somebody.

  Doc : Let's not talk about that. Just seeing you has made me do enough thinking.

  Maizie : Funny world. You tryin' to forget who you are... and me tryin' to find out who I am.

• Doc : Hide that mask! If those cannibals find out you're the voodoo we'll land in the stew-pot!

• Doc : We couldn't get her across the compound! Their eyes are glued on her!

• Doc : Take this, it will make you feel better.

  Phroso 'Dead-Legs' : Break that glass! I might drink out of it... by mistake!

• Doc : You're only a kid. You've still got a chance to be anything you want.

  Maizie : So have you... if you'll get hold of yourself. You're not old.

  Doc : Not old? From all I've seen and done, I'm as old as Santa Claus.

• Babe : He's dead! That means the girl goes with him!

  Doc : If she she's going, Dead-Legs will go first!

• Tiny : Dead-Legs is crazy to keep stealin' that bloke's ivory! He'll get nailed... sure!

  Doc : We're the ones who are crazy! We'll get nailed... not him!

• Doc : Dead-Legs, we've robbed that trader of plenty. Let's beat it before he gets us.

  Phroso 'Dead-Legs' : No. I'm even goin' to send him word where to find the man who's robbin' him.

  [Doc starts to speak in protest] 

  Phroso 'Dead-Legs' : I said *No!* He made me this thing that crawls... now I'm ready to bite!

  Tiny : Yair, bite! I'll bet that's what the cannibals did to Babe!

  Doc : Babe's all right! I sent him to Zanzibar! He's bringin' back a little sweetheart... for Doc! A blonde one!

• Doc : [to King Lunkaboola]  Fire! Only... thing... great... Evil Spirit... fears! White master... greater... than... all... Evil Spirits! He... fears... nothing!

  [Dead-Legs waves a stick of fire and pretends to swallow it]
