Quotes 

• Jonny Quest : Hey, I don't think he IS a kid.

  Hadji : He is very small.

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : He's as tall as he'll ever be. He's a pygmy. Cut him loose, Jonny.

• Jonny Quest : Hey, come back! Hey!

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : No use. He's gone. We'd better do the same and fast. Whoever put that fella out for cat food might come back, and we better not be here then.

• [last lines] 

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : Say, um, why were you coming to see me, anyway? I would've been back in a few days.

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : Well, this came in the mail. It looked important.

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : Mmm. Yes, it does look important.

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : [reading the letter]  Oh, no!

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : Bad news, Doctor?

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : [chuckling]  Anything but, Race. It's a form letter from the African Geographical Society asking me if I would be interested in participating in a round table discussion on the following subject... Are you ready?

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : FIre away, Doctor.

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : "Are pygmies warm and friendly people - yes or no."

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : Pygmies "friendly?"

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon , Jonny Quest , Hadji : NOOOO!

  Bandit : Arf! Arf! Arf!

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : [laughing]  I think I'll send all of you and let you argue the no side. You'll win hands down.

• Sacrificial Native : [rescued from a panther]  Loka tarusa. Loka tarusa.

  Jonny Quest : That must mean thank you.

• Jonny Quest : Race, do you really think they'll track us?

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : I'm sure of it, Jonny. Take a look down by the river. There's your answer.

  Jonny Quest : Gosh, it didn't take 'em long.

  Pygmy Chief : [at the river]  Gohta komsi. Komsi gohta!

  Hadji : Look! They sniff the ground like dogs.

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : They're the best trackers in the world, Hadji.
