His crusade gains momentum and he is soon surrounded by an odd assortment of characters: Cy Sedgewick, an American TV commentator who becomes impressed and rallies world-wide support; a U.S. photographer, Abe Fields, who is sent to do a picture story on Morel and stays on to follow his ideals; Saint Denis, a government aide ordered to stop Morel; Orsini, a professional ivory hunter whose vested interests aren't the same as Morel's; and Waitari, leader of a Pan-African movement who follows Morel only for the personal good it will do his own campaign.

Quotes:

Morel: Do you know that tens of thousands of elephants are killed every year? Thirty thousand last year, to be exact. Thirty thousand. If they go on like that, there won't be any left. Anyone who's seen the great herds on the march across the last free spaces of the earth knows they're something the world can't afford to lose! But no... We have to capture, kill, destroy. All that's beautiful has got to go. All that's free! Soon we'll be alone on this earth with nothing to destroy but ourselves!

Abe Fields: This is a great story, the scoop of the century, and I got plenty of film left!

Habib: Minna, my beauty. What was the message this man Morel left for me?::Minna: He said that if he caught this piece of human filth, shooting at elephants again, he would kill him.::Habib: [laughs] He's a very spirited gentleman!::Minna: He meant every word of it.

Forsythe: It's only the company of men that drives me to drink.

Morel: [Presents his petition for protecting the elephants] Would you sign it, sir? It would be a very great help.::Governor: My dear fellow, our first duty is towards mankind. Believe me, we have our hands full as it is now, trying to forestall the worst drought, the biggest water shortage for years. Unless we take timely steps, we're going to have people dying like flies! If you could read some of the reports coming in...::Morel: Yes, I know, sir, I do see. But can't we offer our help and protection to other animals than ourselves?::Governor: Yes, yes, I'm sure [laughs] I see you have a very noble opinion for humanity. Now you really must excuse me.::Morel: You'll hear from me again, sir. I'm not easily discouraged.

Father Farque: When I want to look at something big, and strong, and free, I don't look at elephants, my dear boy! I look at God.

Morel: We'll put an end to the suffering of animals everywhere!

Peer Qvist: They'll have to shoot me first. It would be rather amusing to be killed in battle at my age.::Abe Fields: Hilarious... How old are you anyway?::Peer Qvist: Very old. I'd be happy to die in Africa.::Abe Fields: Why?::Peer Qvist: Because this is where mankind began.

Cy Sedgewick: [about Morel] I like him. He spits on us, on all of us, and he's right! I've been waiting all my life for somebody to spit on me. Now someone finally has the guts to do it, you know what? Suddenly it gets to be almost bearable to be a man.

Habib: I always said life had a way with you idealists!
