Kala is at the nesting grounds waiting for Tarzana to come home. She twirls a flower in her hand looking at it sadly. She then hears a twig snap. Kala turns her head in the direction of the sound. Tarzana climbs up to the nesting grounds. Kala sees her daughter in the distance and smiles. She gets up and starts to walk over to her a slightly relieved look to her face. Tarzana then helps John up to the grounds a loving smile on her face. Upon seeing the strange human on their land, Kala stops walking and jerks back shocked. Tarzana holds John's hand guiding him closer. Porter comes up beside them while Clayton makes it up to the grounds himself.

John: Oh, look, Father.

John points into the jungle.

Porter: What? Wha--John!

Porter looks around to see what his son is pointing at before his eyes widen in awe. They walk a little closer to Kala. She backs away frightened.

Clayton: Be careful, Professor.

John looks at Kala in awestruck wonder. Tarzana looks to John happy that he thinks her mom is pretty.

John: She's beautiful.

Tarzana: She's my mother.

John looks to her confused.

John: But...this is your...mother.

Kala looks between the young man and her daughter. Tarzana starts chatting like a gorilla to her.

Tarzana: Mama, these are my friends.

Kala: You shouldn't have brought them here.

Tarzana: But Mama, they are kind people.

Kala: Are you sure you're not just talking about the young one? I can see the way you look at him.

Tarzana: It's not just him.

Tarzana responds shyly.

Kala: Oh really? A mother always knows. He will be a fine mate for you.

Tarzana blushes at her mother's comment.

Tarzana: Mama! I'm not to that point yet... I do like him though. Will you meet him?

Her mother then backs away in fear at the thought of meeting the humans.

Porter: What, what, what's happening?

John: I don't know, Father. (Kala goes to hide in the trees.)

Clayton goes to chase after Kala.

Clayton: Oh, it's getting away!

John stops him.

John: No! You'll only frighten her more.

Clayton glares at John, angry with him. Tarzana keeps on chatting; John joins her starting to chat like a gorilla.

Porter: Oh, yes. Absolutely. My boy. Good idea.

Porter joins in trying to call the gorillas out. Clayton looks to them like they are crazy. He yells at them in frustration.

Clayton: What are you doing here? Do you want to frighten them off? Get up! Get... (He sees something in the trees.) Don't get up.
