• [first lines] 

  Matt Cutter : Okay, that officially *hurt*.

  Mendelsohn : [treating a wound on Cutter's back]  Gotta tell you - you are one lucky dog, you are.

  Matt Cutter : Jeez! What the heck are you doing back there?

  Mendelsohn : Making it okay. What are you going to tell the Frenchman? He's going to want to know where his shipment is.

  Matt Cutter : Not a problem. I know exactly where it is. He paid me to pick the crates up; he said nothing about getting them back here. Besides he didn't tell me some idiot with an old German .88 would be shooting at me.

  Mendelsohn : He's going to want his money back. That partnership of ours...

  Matt Cutter : Yeah?

  Mendelsohn : When the Frenchman shows up - we don't have one.

• Norliss : My name is Norliss. We represent a company called Agmis.

  Matt Cutter : Agmis? That's a big mineral company, isn't it?

  Norliss : Well, Agmis is also involved in environmental preservation. We sent a scientist into the La Mista last week and, ah, he's missing.

  Matt Cutter : Oh, a rescue mission? That sounds good, but I can tell you the La Mista is completely uncharted.

  Norliss : Well, he has a locating beacon.

  Matt Cutter : Still, that'll be at the end of my range. If something were to happen...

  Norliss : Fifteen thousand in American dollars.

  Matt Cutter : Well, let me button my shirt.

• Matt Cutter : Mr. Norliss, what's in those crates?

  [Norliss pulls money from his wallet and sets the bills on fire] 

  Norliss : That was $500 of your payment. Is there anything else you'd like to ask?

• [one of Norliss' henchman shoots at a herd of zebras] 

  Matt Cutter : What's his problem? Did a zebra beat up his mom when he was little?

• Matt Cutter : So, what do I owe you for patching me up?

  Kali : It made me happy to help. That feeling is not for sale.

• Matt Cutter : [to himself after Sheena blows up his floatplane]  I have never lost a plane. I've been in firefights, medivacs, set down in a hot LZ and I've never lost a plane... I lost my damned plane.

• Matt Cutter : [looking at Sheena bathing naked in a waterfall]  Who are you?... Who am I?

• [inviting Sheena to sit next to him by the fire] 

  Matt Cutter : I don't bite.

  Sheena : Then how do you eat?

• Matt Cutter : [talking to himself]  What am I talking about? Nothing makes sense. I am sitting here talking to a beautiful blonde knockout darakna who can change into animals...

  Matt Cutter : [to Sheena]  How?

  Sheena : Cali taught me how to feel the animal spirit inside me. We call it the Manta. I connect through the eyes and then I'm fur and fangs.

  Matt Cutter : Ooo-kay.

  Sheena : I can't stay that way for long. If I do, I'll carry part of it with me when I change back. So if I'm a lion, give me some time before you say hello.

• Matt Cutter : You can talk to animals?

  Sheena : Of course not - at least, not the way we do.

  Matt Cutter : But you get the message across.

  Sheena : They're my friends.

  Matt Cutter : Are they all animals your friends?

  Sheena : All except for the rogues - they kill for pleasure, like the silver-back gorilla on the other side of the river. Not all gorillas are rogues, you understand.

  Matt Cutter : Of course.

• Matt Cutter : Do you have a name of some sort or do I just call you "Jungle Jane".

  Sheena : Sheena.

• Matt Cutter : Remember the next time you see a brand spanking new plane coming in for a landing, it might be me.

  Sheena : The next time you see a leopard creeping towards you... it might *not* be me.

• [slapping at a mosquito, then thinking better of it] 

  Matt Cutter : Sheena... Sheena, is that you?
