Me Tarzan, You Jane

● FeaturedThis rudimentary dialogue is universally recognized as Tarzan's introduction to Jane, symbolizing his primitive communication. Yet, no such exchange occurs in any of the original 'Tarzan' books or early films.

What People Remember
Everyone remembers Tarzan, pointing to himself, saying 'Me Tarzan,' and then pointing to Jane and saying 'You Jane' as his first words to her.

What's Actually True
In Edgar Rice Burroughs' novels, Tarzan speaks fluent English by the time he meets Jane. The famous line was actually popularized by the 1932 film 'Tarzan the Ape Man,' but even there, the exact 'Me Tarzan, You Jane' line is a composite or misremembering of their communication.
