Kong: Skull Island Edit

A day away.

A full grown tiger can eat a baby bear.

A place where myth and science meet.

A tiger would win.

After taking the thorn out of his paw though, right?

After we bring this thing down.

Ah, don't get too excited.

Ah, truth is, I don't expect them to be waiting.

Ah, you were in the shit.

Ain't that a crack?

Al, you're looking well.

All American forces will be withdrawn.

All good.

All of our materials are loose leaf.

All right, let's move.

All right, you heard the man. Moving out in 10.

All right?

All right.

All right. Once on the island,

All that money that they paid you? I hope you're worth it.

All this for what?

Allow me.

Allowing it to remain hidden from the outside world.

Allowing us to discover places and things we've never seen.

An emergence point for whatever lives below.

An uncharted island?

Ancient species like what we just saw.

Ancient species owned this earth long before mankind.

And accompanied by biologist, Miss San,

And eight failed attempts to get back to the world,

And geologist, Mr. Brooks.

And he ain't coming back. There's nothing to say.

And he fell into the sea.

And he rescued 12 downed pilots in Ðà Nang, in '72.

And his old Zero.

And I will not cut and run.

And I'm telling you

And if we keep our heads buried in the sand,

And instead the world comes to me?

And looking down on the Earth,

And monsters exist.

And no, now we gotta go to another island

And North Vietnamese today that the withdrawal...

And now here it is.

And remember the story of Icarus,

And she floats.

And that's exactly where I need to be right now, with a drink in my hand.

And the impossible dream

And the place to find it is this island.

And the war...

And then what? All our choppers are down.

And then, one day, the damnedest thing happened.

And this is where they honor the last of their saviors.

And warned him not to fly too close to the sun.

And we didn't lose the war,

And we need to turn back toot sweet!

And we swore we'd never leave each other behind.

And we'll get off this rock alive.

And we'll wait for you there.

And what are they called?

And win you a Pulitzer.

And you better hope he does.

And you wanna call it on account of rain?

And you?

And you're welcome to do that, my man. By yourself.

Anti war photographer.

Ants.

Anybody out there?

Anybody with ears, come back. Respond. Over.

Are we even gonna make it?

Are you all right?

Are you lost? Which way?

Are you okay?

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

Arm one.

Arm three.

Arm two.

As far as I can tell,

As long as he gets to them when they're still small.

As long as we stay in here where the people live, we'll be all right.

As our satellites show,

As usual, remember,

At least not on foot.

At Wrigley Field on opening day.

Attention, all soldiers and base personnel.

Attention, pilots. You are cleared for takeoff.

Because I wrote a paper

Because if we miss that window,

Because the Iwis say once Kong goes,

Because there is new knowledge to be gained.

Benny Goodman?

Besides, my father told me never to judge a man by where he drinks,

Best of luck with that, soldier.

Big ones.

Bill Randa here to see Senator Willis.

Bitch, please!

Brace for impact!

Brace!

Bring the torch! Do your thing!

Brooks, what the hell is going on?

Bunch of scientists called Landsat

But as Field Supervisor of the controlling agency,

But he did kill these men!

But he should have something available in the coming weeks.

But I call them Skull crawlers.

But I know we'll meet again

But I know what I saw.

But I've been here a hell of a lot longer.

But if we reach that position and he's not there,

But it's nothing a couple of extra hands can't fix.

But it's people like you lost us support back home.

But listen to me, listen to me. This is it.

But my flashlight broke.

But nothing lasts forever, I guess.

But the devils live below us.

But the exhilaration was too great,

But the rest of it...

But the United States Army is not an irresponsible father.

But today...

But we can't let it stop us.

But we like to think it's much more than that.

But we're not leaving yet.

But what about the other bacteria?

But with Colonel Packard's helicopter transport,

But you don't go into someone's house and start dropping bombs

But you take away the uniforms

But you're gonna need a lot more guns if you're gonna go west.

But you're real.

But your source says that he spends most of his waking hours

By the resource exploration team,

Calling all units! Is anybody airborne?

Camera's way more dangerous than a gun.

Can I help you?

Can we fit everybody?

Can you punch through that, Colonel?

Cannot be taken as an index of our progress

Chapman is dead.

Chapman to all stations.

Chapman, hold your position.

Chapman.

Chapman.

Chapman.

Cold war like

Cole, we don't got time for that, man. Put the cigarette out.

Cole, what's wrong with you?

Cole!

Cole!

Cole!

Cole!

Colonel Packard,

Colonel Packard! There's a phone call for you.

Colonel.

Combat formation.

Come on already, let's go!

Come on now!

Come on, come on.

Come on, get up!

Come on, man, we gotta fall back.

Come on, we're losing daylight.

Come on, you bastard!

Come on!

Come on! Go!

Come on! Go!

Come on! Hurry!

Come on.

Come on. Come on, you son of a bitch.

Come on. Every second counts.

Coming in hot! I got eyes on it!

Coming to the north end of the island in three days.

Complete FOD walkdown and clear the deck.

Conrad, which way are we going?

Conrad.

Copy all, Fox Three. Heading 0 9 0.

Copy, Fox Leader. Fox Three headed to Zone Six.

Cut the legs! Cut it off at the legs!

Damn it.

Damn it.

Dear Billy,

Dear Billy.

Dear Billy...

Dear Billy...

Dear Billy...

Did he come back?

Did you crash here?

Die, you mother...

Discovered a new island on their satellite.

Do you copy? Anybody?

Do you even have a bed, Cole?

Does anybody know what that is?

Does this thing even float?

Doesn't change a thing!

Doesn't he miss his bed? I miss my bed!

Don't do it.

Don't forget to tell me this is a bad idea.

Don't know when

Don't know where

Don't miss it, please.

Don't shoot!

Don't you miss your bed?

Easy.

Eating's for the living.

Embedded with MACV SOG.

Every nautical trade route known to man has avoided for centuries.

Everybody, grab your gear. We have to keep moving.

Everybody, keep your wigs on now!

Everybody, stay calm. Stay calm.

Everyone else, stay with the team leader.

Everyone here seems way too calm right now.

Fall back.

Final troop withdrawal will commence at 0600.

Fire in the hole!

Fly ball, very deep.

For ground excursions led by Mr. Conrad.

For losing the war, are you?

For the first time, we're putting cameras into space

For the Griffin and ant show.

For the number of ships and planes that have gone missing there.

Form a perimeter. Ready gunner positions.

Former SAS. No allegiance to anyone.

Found a B 29 on the beach one day. That was something.

Four klicks west, highest peak...

Fox Eight is down! Fox Four is down!

Fox Five inbound for pickup!

Fox Five is hovering.

Fox Five is in the slot.

Fox Five, come back.

Fox Five, let me know when you close.

Fox Five, this is Fox Leader. Fox Nine is down,

Fox Group, let it fly.

Fox Leader is down!

Fox Leader to Fox Group.

Fox Leader to Fox Group.

Fox Leader to Fox Group.

Fox Leader to Fox Group. Fire at will!

Fox Leader, this is Chapman, over.

Fox Leader, this is Chapman, over.

Fox Seven moving into position, three o'clock.

Fox Seven, put Landsat on deck.

Fox Six confirm, we're at the Sea Stallion.

Fox Six, Chapman.

Fox Six, we got nominal control.

Fox team, form up on me. Keep it together!

Fox, Chapman.

From World War II. You'll meet him.

Galleta, Saraf, and Hodges.

Gas!

Gather up everything you can, including those seismic charges.

Get down!

Get out of here, Chapman. Go have some fun.

Get out of here.

Get out of the way!

Get us home, with proof.

Get us the hell out of here!

Go live your life.

Go!

Go!

Go!

Good to see you, fellas!

Good. Glad to hear it. I was worried about you.

Got a telegram from her the day before I got shot down.

Grace and Billy all moved in in Atlanta,

Griffin Co.!

Grown man I've never met.

Guaranteed not to melt.

Guess I don't know anymore.

Guys. I think that we should listen to Marlow.

Hang on, Briggs. I'm coming.

Hang on.

Happens to be my team. Where are you from?

Harry Truman didn't think so when he funded Monarch in 1946.

Have a wife?

Have brought congressional committee hearings to a standstill,

Have you met Colonel Packard yet?

He became my brother.

He seemed to really go for it the first time.

He surrendered right after we leveled his village.

He threw it to me from the train as he rolled off to fight the Nazis.

He was 50 years old.

He was like John Wayne to me.

He's God to these people.

He's gone!

He's gone.

He's king around here.

He's losing his grip.

He's right, Colonel. We can't kill Kong.

He's the only thing keeping them lizard things in the ground.

He's with the downed Sea Stallion just west of here.

Hello and welcome.

Hello, there.

Hello?

Helping us to map the subsurface of the island.

Here we go now to the Cub half of number eight.

Here, no. Let me help.

Here's to profit during peacetime.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey.

Hey, Jerry.

Hey, Randa, you're not gonna believe this.

Hey!

Hey! I'm coming, too.

Hey! This is Fox Five. We hear you.

Hey.

His plane went down near Hamburg.

Hmm.

Hmm. "Dear Billy,

Hold onto your butts!

Hold the phone there, Churchill.

Hold tight, Colonel Packard, we are on our way!

Holy shit!

Holy shit! Look at that thing! I'm freaking out here!

How did British special forces get dragged into this?

How far away is this island?

How many did she write you?

How many left?

How many letters did you end up writing her?

How you doing?

How you even got an appetite right now?

I am the cavalry.

I appreciate your passion, Randa,

I asked you fellas nice the first time.

I believe there's an ecosystem out there the likes of which we can't imagine.

I can't believe we're doing this. Are you guys kidding me?

I can't get a shot!

I can't let you do that, Colonel.

I can't tell when I'm talking

I could ask you the same thing.

I could have had all of this organized and bound.

I did?

I didn't believe it when they said you were coming.

I didn't hear them say anything.

I didn't say that.

I don't believe I'm saying this, but that almost made sense.

I don't get it. Why do you want a gig documenting a mapping mission

I don't know how to answer that question right now.

I don't know if I'm gonna like whoever's under this beard.

I don't know what that was either.

I don't know, man. God damn...

I don't know, three, four.

I don't take orders from you!

I don't wanna be on the porch.

I feel we're on the brink of an area of expansion

I got a son out there.

I got a wife.

I got it. She's temperamental. Watch out!

I got you!

I guess this is goodbye.

I just want one last chance to see them.

I know an enemy when I see it.

I know she ain't pretty to look at,

I know!

I left you a message this morning about rescheduling today's appointment.

I need help here. I need...

I promise I won't tell the Russians.

I really hope that thing you call a boat can get us upriver in 36 hours.

I repeat, is anybody airborne?

I repeat, we are going down!

I repeat, we have a visual. Two klicks to our north.

I respect that.

I said,

I say we abort. That's it, we're gonna abort.

I should be sitting at a desk.

I spent the last 30 years

I suppose no man comes home from war.

I swear to God,

I tell you what. You're lucky he's out there, too,

I think it is, brother.

I think Mr. Conrad should be fairly compensated.

I thought he was out of his mind.

I told you this damn place was a no no.

I told you. Didn't I tell you?

I understand going after your man.

I want five times that.

I was up all night

I would not be opposed to that, sir.

I'd be fine either way.

I'd pick the Cubbies over the Tigers any day.

I'll be damned.

I'll be right here.

I'll be sure to tell her when I see her in the next 48 hours.

I'll still have his gun.

I'm fine calling them that.

I'm fine. Thank you.

I'm going to need a military escort.

I'm gonna stab you by the end of the night.

I'm good to go, sir.

I'm here to execute whatever orders I'm given, sir.

I'm just saying.

I'm just trying to get home to you and your mom.

I'm Landsat Field Supervisor, Victor Nieves.

I'm late for a meeting.

I'm not confident in our presentation.

I'm not leaving Jack out there. Now, who's with me?

I'm okay.

I'm sorry for your men, Colonel, I truly am.

I'm sorry, Colonel Packard.

I'm sure the Landsat inspector will be inspired by your courage.

I'm telling you, this is the new sound.

I'm told your unit is capable of handling inclement weather, Colonel.

I've got to get to higher ground to find the river.

I've never said that name out loud before. It sounds stupid now that I say it.

I've only been here 28 years. What do I know?

I've taken enough photos of mass graves to recognize one.

Idiots.

If he ever sees me again.

If I can't fix this, he'll disown me.

If the boat doesn't work, we'll just take the train.

If we can put this tremendous machine of ours,

If we follow this river,

If we stick to its banks, we'll make it to the exfil site on the north shore.

If we're not back by then,

If you take away a species' natural competition,

If you want to see a crowd go crazy,

If you'd found it,

If you're ever in Chicago, look me up, I guess.

If?

In 24 hours, we have to be on the other side of this island.

In ballistic missile work.

In case things go sideways.

In case we ever see that primate again.

In here!

In one day, one day,

In some back alley watering hole.

In terms of sheer waste,

In the dark.

Incoming!

Insert recovery team. Over.

Is everything okay?

Is nobody gonna say anything about the...

Is that a monkey?

Is that really all your brain telling itself right now?

Is that supposed to keep out that thing?

Is there anyone out there?

Is this fun for you?

Is what I got.

Is your Yale degree supposed to lead us through the jungle, Brooks?

Island?

Isn't it odd the most dangerous places are always the most beautiful?

Isn't shooting a mapping mission a step down for a photojournalist?

It always does.

It bleeds.

It could be years before we get another shot at this.

It felt good.

It had no conscience.

It has defied discovery until now.

It is time, once again,

It wiped out his whole family.

It'll be quick.

It's called the Hollow Earth theory.

It's gotta end. This is it.

It's impossible. That's it. No way.

It's more like the triangle than the hat,

It's more of a cold war.

It's more of, like, a plane than a boat, really.

It's notorious

It's over.

It's practically hollow.

It's the Athena, docked in Bangkok.

It's time to show Kong

Jerry, when three sources tell you the same thing word for word,

Jesus! I've never seen anything like it!

Just became the possible dream!

Just enough to get him to say yes.

Just go.

Just gotta think it through.

Just kidding.

Just thinking about how me and Gunpei dreamed of this moment.

Just waiting on me.

Keep going!

Keep visual.

Keep your eyes open.

Keeps to himself mostly.

Key West ain't an island either, it's a key.

Key West is,

Kill this son of a bitch.

Kong didn't kill Chapman.

Kong is god on this island.

Kong is not the only king.

Kong was just defending his territory.

Kong's a pretty good king.

Kong's down. Let's go!

Kong's god on the island,

Kong's the last of his kind, but he's still growing.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Last time I checked.

Launch, launch, launch.

Led by Mr. Randa

Let me list all the ways you're gonna die.

Let us dedicate ourselves to that.

Let's call it a "ploat."

Let's do this!

Let's get off this island.

Let's go kill this thing!

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Let's go, let's move it!

Let's go. We gotta move!

Let's just get on with it.

Let's prep this ordinance.

Let's take them down, low and level.

Letter to my boy.

Lieutenant Hank Marlow of the 45th Pursuit Squadron of the 15th.

Lieutenant Hank Marlow of the 45th.

Like the Bermuda Triangle?

Listen, I want you to tell me something right now.

Listen, Senator, Landsat is sending a mission to the island.

Listen, there's a refueling team

Listen, to be honest,

Locate possible ambush sites. Over.

Look at that.

Look out!

Look out! Oh, shit!

Look, I just made that name up. I'm trying to scare you.

Magnificent.

Maintain course.

Major Jack Chapman.

Make him a special gift out of that napalm.

Make sure those get back to his family.

Man, not even close.

Man, you got a shitty mom.

Man's gotta do what... Ow!

Many civilizations spoke of it in legends.

Mark my words.

Marlow, a little help here!

Marlow, you okay?

Marlow! Sword!

Mason Weaver is a woman?

Mason Weaver, photographer.

Maybe he wants to go kill that ape instead of getting us off this island? Yeah!

Maybe now's not the best time to ask.

Maybe we should consider postponing the mission.

Mayday, mayday!

Me and Gunpei spent six years of our lives building this thing.

Me and Gunpei were gonna take off for the open sea, try to get home.

Men go to war in search of something, Mr. Conrad.

Men!

Mills, Cole,

Mills, quit dicking around. I'm going on perimeter.

Mmm. I'm trying to take a long exposure photograph,

Mmm... Scientific instruments.

Monarch is on the cusp of being shut down, Brooks. We're broke!

Monarch ranks right up there with the search for alien life.

Monsters exist.

Mount up!

Move that gear to our three o'clock.

Mr. Brooks.

Much love.

My agency is known as Monarch.

My best guess is we're scattered over a four to five mile radius.

My men!

My mother.

Neither did the public.

Never thought I'd see you guys again.

Nieves, now is not the time. All right?

No kidding?

No personal property.

No reasoning, just destroy.

No shit.

No, he'll be inspired by my common sense.

No, he's not the one they're trying to keep out.

No, it's not.

No, no, no. No need for that.

No! Don't!

No.

No. Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Nobody believed me.

Nobody move.

Nobody shoot!

Not as long as Chapman's still out there.

Not Randa.

Not really.

Not without me, pal.

Not yet!

Nothing he wouldn't do himself. He's taking the lead.

Nothing we haven't done before.

November Alpha 3, 0, 0. Over.

Now let's get to Chapman and those munitions.

Now there's a man worth talking to.

Now we're on their turf,

Now, come on. We gotta get home.

Now, follow me,

Now, he can handle them

Now, I'm gonna take these civilians back to the boat.

Now, look, Colonel.

Now, stay sharp. Keep an eye out.

Now, that other creature?

Now, you're saying we're at war with them?

Nuts!

Of an uncharted island in the South Pacific.

Of course, Mr. Randa.

Of knowledge about ourselves and our surroundings

Oh, dear.

Oh, God.

Oh, hey, that's pretty, huh?

Oh, I'm already set up with Eastern Air Lines.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Oh, shit!

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Oh, there's a lot out there.

Oh, they don't speak too much.

Oh!

Oh! Behind you!

Oh.

Oh. Sorry, miss.

Oh. Um...

Okay, Captain Conrad.

Okay, Colonel.

Okay, don't get comfortable. You got five minutes.

Okay, sir.

Okay? But I will tell you what we do know.

Okay? There is no map.

Okay.

Okay. So, we've got 48 hours to make it to the north shore.

On guard, Fox Five!

On that Sea Stallion to kill this thing.

One day away!

One klick north of river bend.

One last thing.

One mike 30. Repeat, one mike 30 to launch.

One mike to launch.

One of them did.

One question.

Only how he holds it.

Only satellite images.

Ooh!

Or a new terrifying theater of war...

Or I'm gonna blow your head off.

Or like that aluminum foil hat that I like to wear on the weekends?

Or you wouldn't have made it this far.

Our expedition takes us to a place

Out of a thousand young men on that ship, I was the only survivor.

Over.

Ow!

Pack your bags, ladies.

Packard, it's General Ward.

Packard!

Packard!

Pay him.

Pennsylvania steel.

Pier 14, 6:00 tomorrow night.

Place your charges.

Please! You need to listen to us!

Plus, a bonus if we make it back.

Possible alternate fuels. Senator, look just...

Prepare to crash!

Promising more gridlock in the days and weeks ahead.

Pull out now! Pull out!

Pull up!

Pulled the engine parts from my P 51

Purely a precaution, Brooks.

Put it down, sir.

Put it down.

Put that detonator down.

Put the old flight suit on for you.

Put us down over there.

Quiet.

Rain, heat, mud, disease carrying flies and mosquitos.

Rally on me.

Rally up! Rally up!

Randa believed this island may be one of those.

Randa hired me

Randa, I don't get it. You already got us a military escort.

Randa, it's a fairy tale.

Randa!

Ready for seismic charges.

Really?

Recon environment.

Reles,

Rendezvous point, one hour.

Resources, medicine, the cure for cancer, geological discoveries.

Respond, Fox Three!

Right?

Right?

Right?

Right.

Right.

Roger that, Chapman. West highest mountain peak.

Roger that, Fox Five.

Roger that, Fox Five. Fox One out.

Roger that.

Roger that.

Roger that.

Roger that. And, sir?

Roger that. Hear you loud and clear.

Roger. Climb 1,800.

Run to the side, you idiot!

Run!

Russia was our ally.

Saddle up!

Said he'd never even seen a gun till we showed up.

Save it for when we get closer to the group.

Say again, your last.

See what happens if this guy hits one right now.

See you at the rendezvous, Chapman.

Seismic charges for the geological survey.

Senator?

Send up a flare so we can find you.

Set a perimeter of 300 meters. Do not engage.

Set up the 50!

Seven confirmed KIA.

Seven survivors.

Shake it off, guys! Let's move out.

She said we just had our baby boy.

She's called the Grey Fox.

Simple, really.

Sir!

Sir?

Sir?

Skull Island.

Slivko and the rest are unknown.

Slivko, do you know what you're doing back there?

Slivko, get her out of there!

Slivko, hang on!

Slivko!

Slivko!

Snap to, Lieutenant.

So he flew higher and higher

So if you like your hands, don't touch anything.

So our families and our countrymen don't have to be afraid!

So they gave us wings of white hot, cold rolled

So this was never about geology.

So we can send the cavalry.

So we need someone like you,

So what are we going to do?

So what do you think, fellas?

So what're you gonna do when you get back to the world, Chapman?

So whatever's there,

So you didn't get the message, Randa?

So, good news.

So, I will get the piggyback for you. I will.

So, tell me, did I get it?

So, tip for everybody,

So, uh, how much do we tell him?

So, wait, are we just not gonna talk about this?

So, what imaginary monster are you hunting this time?

Some kind of mythic hero.

Some of the things they were afraid of

Some of them don't even seem to age.

Somebody cover the civilians' six. Let's move!

Somebody talk to me, man.

Sometimes, an enemy doesn't exist

Sometimes, life just punch you in the balls.

Sounds like a bird, but it's a fucking ant.

Speed of progress in the satellite project

Split up, survey your zones.

Started protecting them against the things that were eating them.

Stay back!

Stay on the boat if you want to.

Stay tight.

Steve,

Still got a man out there, Conrad.
