King Kong (2005) Edit

A big hand for Mr Bruce Baxter!

A big hand, folks, for the bravest girl I've ever met!

A bundle of money

A girl from New York...

A girl like you doesn't have to starve.

A handsome explorer bound for the Far East.

A lion or a tiger.

A man eater. That's how all these stories start.

A monstrous aberration of nature.

A part deep inside himself that sounds a warning.

A place that was thought to exist only in myth.

A surprise guest.

A sweet little honey

A wall 100 foot high...

About the scene today with you and Bruce

About there still being some mystery left in this world...

Actors.

Actually, I'm quite familiar with your work.

Adventure, fame, the thrill of a lifetime, and a long sea voyage.

Adventures on a tramp steamer. See? Just like us.

All hands going ashore! Report to stations!

All of you, run!

All right, everyone, from the top! And action!

All right, fine. We might as well settle up.

All right, we gotta get back to the ship.

All right, you got five minutes!

All right!

All right.

All right. It has a local name...

An ambitious no talent. The guy's got loser written all over him.

An island hidden in fog.

And as soon as I saw you, I knew.

And beauty stayed his hand.

And could not remember...

And donate the proceeds to his wife and kids.

And from that day forward, he was as one dead.

And halfway through the hors d'oeuvres, he clutches my hand.

And I'll donate the proceeds...

And I'll tell you something else. I'm gonna finish this film for Mike!

And I'll tell you why.

And I'm quittin', quittin' the blues, blues of the world

And I'm sittin' on top of the world

And I'm sittin', sittin' on top, top of the world

And I've never been on one with a woman before.

And if things turn really hostile, then...

And if you've lived as a true American...

And lo, the beast looked upon the face of beauty...

And may I just say how excited we are to have you back with us, sir?

And now, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to show you...

And now, we have in the auditorium tonight...

And she can't escape the feeling that forces beyond her control...

And she was a wonderful person.

And sure enough, against her better judgement...

And that's when he told you how he felt?

And that's when she sees it.

And the ape will be hard on his heels.

And voilà.

And we can all have a piece of it...

And we could all have a piece of it...

And you got 24 hours!

And you made it your own.

Ann Darrow.

Ann is nearsighted. It could have happened to anyone.

Ann, I want you to imagine...

Ann, it's no use.

Ann, it's okay.

Ann, let's go. Let's go. Come on!

Ann, please come on.

Ann, stop. Stop right there.

Ann!

Ann!

Ann!

Ann!

Ann! Ann!

Ann! Come on in. Let me introduce you to the crew.

Ann! SAILOR: Miss Darrow!

Ann?

Ann? Miss Darrow, please!

Ann.

Another five reels.

Another one of your safari pictures?

Another reading!

Another week. I haven't got a film yet.

Anyone else?

Anything that's not bolted down goes overboard!

Appreciate the help, fellow.

Are compelling her down a road from which she cannot draw back.

Are you out of your mind?

Are you sure about this, Denham?

Aren't these things supposed to be extinct?

As long as we're laughing, we won't cry over the box office.

As strong today as it was ages ago.

As your head disappears beneath the waves...

Ask for Kenny K. Tell him I sent you.

Back across the log!

Be a sport and lend a hand here, would you?

Be seeing you.

Beautiful.

Beauty and the man who saved her from the beast.

Because that man is a hero, and he deserves nothing less.

Because that's what a smart girl would do.

Because we were travelling in the night of first ages...

Because, technically, it hasn't been discovered yet.

Behind the wall!

Behold her terror as she is offered up to the mighty Kong!

Believe me, I am on the level. No funny business. Please sit down.

Better come up quick!

Blackbird

Bloody Nora!

Boobies?

Bringing to mind that old Arabian proverb...

Bruce, wonderful performance. You can relax for 10 minutes.

Buddy!

Built so long ago...

But Carl Denham's made some interesting pictures.

But Carl Denham's made some interesting pictures.

But even the meanest brute can be tamed.

But I already sent you my résumé. You returned it unopened.

But I need a middle and an end. I gotta have something to shoot.

But I'm warning you, Jack, it doesn't sound good.

But it wasn't anyplace good.

But not this time, Annie.

But she doesn't trust it.

But she struck hard against the rock!

But something monstrous, living behind that wall.

But there's another part...

But they are sailing towards disaster. You got that?

But they let the one thing that truly matters...

But you don't look at all like your photograph.

But, fellows, we're not making that film anymore...

Bye bye

Bye bye

Call Jack. I need that goddamn screenplay!

Camera noise. Wind. Christ knows what else.

Can we talk about this later?

Can you believe this, Jack?

Can't you see we're in the company of a VIP guest?

Captain, you don't know where the hell you're going!

Captain!

Careful. Camel have bad accident on floor.

Carl saw it.

Carl, run!

Carl, what is it?

Carl, you've been in production for over two months.

Carl!

Carl!

Carl! Yes!

Carl! Carl!

Carl? He's up there, filming.

Carl.

Carl. Christ.

Choy!

Choy!

Choy.

Christ, it's a bleeding boneyard!

Chuck everything except for the potatoes!

Clear the area. That's it. Shove off, boys.

Climb up there and get himself cornered.

Come a little closer.

Come on, buddy. Get up the rope. Come on. Get out of here. Come on.

Come on, Carl!

Come on, come on!

Come on, come on.

Come on, Driscoll. Let's go.

Come on, fellows, you know the deal.

Come on, get up out of that water.

Come on, guys. We need more rope.

Come on, Jack. It was an honest mistake.

Come on, move it!

Come on, move it.

Come on, Mr Hayes. Look at them.

Come on, pal, we gotta draw him off.

Come on, take me to dinner.

Come on, take me to dinner.

Come on!

Come on!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Come on!

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Get them out of there!

Coming through!

Coming through!

Coming through. Coming through, fellows.

Conserve your ammunition!

Cooper, huh?

Crank them up, fellas.

Crapping all over the streets of this fair city, fills me with disgust.

Cut it out.

Cut!

Dead slow ahead both, Captain.

Dead slow ahead both, Mr Hayes.

Dead slow ahead, both.

Defeat is always momentary.

Did you get that, did you?

Did you get that?

Did you know that?

Do I have a choice?

Do you know what happens in those last precious seconds before you drown?

Doing it now, Mr Hayes.

Don't be a fool! Give it up. It's useless!

Don't be alarmed. It's perfectly safe.

Don't be crazy.

Don't knock it, honey. At least they got an audience.

Don't let appearances deceive you. It's much more spacious on board.

Don't let go of the camera!

Don't make me feel gay

Don't make me regret it.

Don't move! Stay away from the walls!

Don't we have a stand in for this type of thing?

Don't worry, Preston. I've had a lot of practice at this.

Driscoll!

Driscoll.

Drop the bridge. Do it now, for Christ's sake!

Englehorn! Cast off!

Ever since you were small, people been letting you down.

Everybody stay in sight.

Everyone needs to leave, okay? Come on.

Excuse me, fellows.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. I'm trying to... I gotta get

Fancy my porridge à la walnuts?

Fate comes along and snatches it away.

Fay's a size four.

Fellows, we don't have time for this.

Find it, film it, and show it to the world.

Fire!

Foolish.

For 25 cents, you get to see the last blank space on the map.

For God's sake, Preston, think like a winner!

For God's sakes, Denham, leave the native alone.

For the charms of a girl.

For the price of an admission ticket.

For the price of an admission ticket.

For the third and final time...

Forget you was ever there.

Four of us are dead!

From the Federal Theatre.

From the Federal Theatre.

Full ahead, both engines!

Gee, thanks.

Gentlemen, please.

Get him back in.

Get in.

Get into character and head toward the animals.

Get it off my face!

Get it off!

Get it on board, fellows, come on.

Get it out!

Get me another reading!

Get me down! Help me, please!

Get me more men down here now! Come on, move, move!

Get off!

Get out of there now! Climb!

Get them off the boat. Get them off the boat.

Get them out of here.

Get used to it.

Get your own seat, buddy. You're not having mine.

Give me some power! Half astern both.

Give me that, quick.

Give me your hand.

Give yourself some options. Take this seriously!

Glory hallelujah! I just told the parson

Glory hallelujah! I just told the parson

Go back!

Go back!

Go back.

Go with Jack.

Go!

Go! Go! Get out!

Go! WOMAN: Wait for me!

God damn it, Preston, all you had to do was look her in the eye and lie.

God damn it!

God, I'm sorry. It'll just take a sec.

Gonna have the ship's engines all over the dialogue.

Good Christ!

Good legs.

Good luck with your picture.

Good luck!

Good shooting, Mr Hayes.

Good things never last, Mr Denham.

Half astern both, Captain!

Hang on!

Harry, what's going on?

Have you eaten today?

Have you found an enclosure to your taste?

Hayes, why are we changing course?

He died believing there was still some mystery left in this world.

He died for what he believed in, and I'm gonna honour that.

He don't mean no harm.

He insisted on a rescue mission.

He just let you walk away? He didn't try to save it?

He must ignore her.

He said to me, Carl...

He said we'd talk about it later. Only there was no later.

He spoke of a huge wall...

He was a king in the world he knew, but he comes to you now a captive.

He was right.

He'd been drifting for days.

He's a preening self promoter.

He's asking us to fund a wild goose chase.

He's had a lot of near success.

He's just a dumb animal. Didn't know nothing.

He's so much younger in person. And much better looking.

He's there.

Head for the exits.

Hear, hear!

Hello, Mr Driscoll. It's so nice to meet you.

Help me!

Help!

Here I go

Here, put it in your hand and take it.

Here! Over here!

Here's your story, boys.

Heroes don't look like me, not in the real world.

Hey, buddy? I'm out of the bowl.

Hey, do you hear me? We're gonna be stranded here.

Hey, pal! Hey, wake up.

Hey, Par, get ready to call

Hey, Par, get ready to call

Hey! Get back. You're not allowed up there!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! You gonna pay for this?

Hey.

Hi. My name is Preston. Carl's assistant.

His arm was broken in two places.

His ship had run aground on an island way west of Sumatra.

His unfailing ability to destroy the things he loves.

Hoist up the mainsail, raise the anchor...

Hold him!

Hold on! Hold on!

Hold your fire.

How about you return Mr Driscoll's pen first?

How much do I owe you? Make it a quarter.

How much more is there?

How we gonna eat?

How'd you think this would end, Carl?

I am actually laying my hand on the 25 foot gorilla.

I am touching the beast.

I beefed up the banter.

I cannot do that.

I couldn't help but overhear.

I do, Mr Hayes, I do. Look.

I don't care what it takes, I gotta win her back.

I don't care, Mike.

I don't give a damn about Carl Denham.

I don't know. What is it? A coffee stain?

I don't think so.

I don't want the crew getting spooked.

I give you Kong, The Eighth Wonder of the World!

I got a rehearsal for which I am now three hours late.

I got to get to a phone, talk to Harlow's people.

I gotta have a breather. SAILOR: Great idea.

I guess you don't think much of women on ships, do you?

I happen to love the theatre.

I heard you were the best.

I honestly believed things might actually work out...

I just never figured you for a coward.

I know it wasn't what you wrote...

I know times are tough.

I know you did and I appreciate it.

I know, but they're good. You've got 15 good pages there, Carl.

I know. I should have...

I love a good chorus line.

I make people laugh, that's what I do.

I might have known.

I need you in the shot, or people will say they're fake.

I said I'd find a girl.

I said no!

I think this is awfully exciting! I've never been on a ship before.

I thought it might.

I told you to lock it up.

I understand your disappointment He can't direct.

I wanna help bring her back.

I want the cast and crew on the ship within the hour.

I want this ship fixed and ready to float on the next high tide!

I want to know how many are injured and how bad.

I want you off my ship.

I want you to know...

I was in the Army. I was trained. I had a drill sergeant.

I was joking, Carl.

I was nervous.

I will handle this.

I won't sail blind in these waters.

I worked vaudeville once. That is a tough audience.

I would say they're full of it, Mr Hayes.

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

I'll finish it...

I'll give you another $1,000 to leave now.

I'll make it worth your while.

I'll share it with all of you!

I'm a huge fan.

I'm actually quite familiar with your work, yes.

I'm done.

I'm drying off my wings and trekking across the lid.

I'm gettin' my share

I'm going back to Chicago.

I'm gonna fall

I'm gonna fall

I'm here to tell you a very strange story.

I'm just an actor with a gun, who's lost his motivation.

I'm leaving, Annie.

I'm not a coward. I ain't gonna run.

I'm not giving you a gun!

I'm not gonna let them kill my film.

I'm not gonna stiff a friend.

I'm not hungry. Don't worry about me.

I'm not moving.

I'm not that type of person at all.

I'm offering you money.

I'm pulling you up! Hold on to your end!

I'm real good at crapping the crappers.

I'm rollin' along

I'm rollin' along

I'm rollin' along

I'm rollin' along

I'm singin' a song

I'm singin' a song

I'm sittin' on top of the world

I'm someone you can trust, Ann. I'm a movie producer.

I'm sorry, Annie.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm supposed to be making a feature length picture.

I'm sure you've heard this before, Mr Driscoll...

I'm talking about a primitive world never before seen by man.

I'm writing it for you.

I'm writing it for you.

I've been ordered to divert to Rangoon.

I've been reading.

I've come into possession of a map.

I've never known you to volunteer cash before.

I've only got one suit, just one

I've read everything you've ever written.

If anything happens, I want you to run.

If she loves someone, it's doomed.

If she wants to be in this picture, she's gotta be on that boat.

If someone were to tell you this ship was headed for Singapore...

If there's anything that you need, please don't hesitate to ask.

If you don't kill them fast, they kill you.

If you don't mind me saying...

If you feel it, you say it. It's really very simple.

If you feel it, you say it. It's really very simple.

If you find this place...

If you go ashore with your friends and your cameras...

If you really loved it...

In a few months, his name will be up in lights on Broadway!

In fact, we have no currency of any kind.

In my experience, people only go to these films...

In pursuit of a savage beast...

In the real world, they got bad teeth, a bald spot, and a beer gut.

In which 17 of our party suffered horrible deaths...

Interesting theory.

Is he asking for more money?

Is it, Mr Hayes?

Is making me say

Is that what took Miss Darrow?

Is the way you've captured the voice of the common people.

Is this the moving picture ship?

Island.

Isn't it obvious?

Isn't it obvious?

Isn't that one of Maureen's costumes?

Isn't that what you do? Live animal capture?

It always does.

It is the 29th, isn't it?

It isn't every woman who would take such a risk.

It never happened.

It takes us way outside the shipping lanes.

It was always going to be you.

It was built for humans, by humans.

It was funny, actually. You were funny.

It was obviously a terrible misunderstanding.

It was pure effluence.

It'll pick up. Isn't that right, Manny?

It's a terrible loss and we're all gonna miss her.

It's actually this one over here.

It's all over town.

It's all right for you. We haven't had a paycheck in two weeks.

It's as if her whole life has been a prelude to this moment...

It's bad, it's bad.

It's beautiful.

It's good to eat.

It's got to be what, 20, 25 feet?

It's hysterical, Manny.

It's in the subtext.

It's just a little bit of humour, bud.

It's nice to meet you, too, Miss Darrow.

It's not about being brave, Jimmy.

It's not about words.

It's not the principle of the thing, it's the money.

It's not your fault.

It's not.

It's over for me, Jack.

It's over, you goddamn lunatic!

It's so nice to meet you, Mr Driscoll.

It's too late. Throw it!

It's where I found him four years ago.

It's working.

Jack Driscoll does not want just anyone starring in this picture.

Jack Driscoll?

Jack, keep your voice down.

Jack, this is 15 pages.

Jack!

Jack!

Jack!

Jack!

Jack.

Jack.

Jack's gonna bring her back...

Jesus Christ.

Jesus, you don't give up, do you?

Jesus. Miss Darrow!

Jigglies. Jiblonkas. Bazooms.

Jimmy, do a head count.

Jimmy, no!

Jimmy.

Jimmy.

Jimmy. Jimmy.

Jump to it! Jump to it, gentlemen!

Just a bunch of women and old folks!

Just as long as you understand that.

Just heave it!

Just like Humpty Dumpty

Just like Humpty Dumpty

Just one shot! One shot!

Just play the date, take the money...

K...

Keep him down!

Keep paddling.

Keep the change.

Keep the gate open, will you?

Kill it!

Kong! The Eighth Wonder of the World!

Kong.

L...

L...

Ladies and gentlemen...

Lamb's brains in walnut sauce.

Leave me alone!

Leave your résumé with my secretary.

Leaving hardly a sign, and no memories.

Let go, you idiot!

Let him go! You got to run, Jimmy.

Let him roar. It makes a swell picture.

Let me get the door for you.

Let's ask him.

Let's go. Come on.

Let's take it...

Life intervened.

Lighten the ship!

Lion, tiger, hippo, you name it.

Listen. If anyone comes to the door, don't open it. You haven't seen me.

Look after yourself!

Look at me.

Look at me.

Look at that.

Look at this. Look, look.

Look at yourself. Look at what you've become.

Look out!

Look out!

Look out.

Look, miss, I told you already, call my office.

Look, you got my notes. I got to go, pal. See you.

Look. Chocolate.

Lumpy! Help me!

Ma'am, I think you dropped this.

Ma'am.

Maybe you're the lucky guy.

Me? I knew you'd be okay.

Men. Oh, they'll give you the world...

Message for you, Captain.

Mike died doing what he believed in! He didn't die for nothing.

Miss Ann Darrow.

Miss Darrow was a great gal, no question.

Miss Darrow, if you would just...

Miss Darrow!

Miss Darrow!

Miss Darrow!

Miss Darrow.

Monsters belong in B movies.

More than okay.

Move along.

Move back!

Move it! Move it!

Mr Denham, I think we should go back.

Mr Denham!

Mr Denham.

Mr Denham...

Mr Weston, I know this role backwards.

My apologies for not being able to offer you a cabin.

Myrna Loy? Clara Bow? Mae West?

Neither beast nor man...

Nervous?

Nervous? No.

Never mind, Carl. Just pay me when you get back.

No matter how many times you flush them down the toilet...

No one knew who'd made it.

No, Carl, you can't do this.

No, Denham. You risked everything I have.

No, I'm not going anywhere without you!

No, no. Oh, God, no.

No, not personally. I've seen his plays.

No, they're a nuisance.

No, too much.

No, you don't.

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No! Don't! Leave him alone!

No! Stop!

No! Stop! Turn back!

No! They respected the filmmaker. They showed some class.

No?

No.

No. No.

Nobody get in my way.

Nobody past this point.

Nobody's lived here for hundreds of years.

Not exactly.

Not for stinking lice infested apes.

Not that you don't have good legs. Just making conversation.

Not that you'd know what that means, you cheap lowlife!

Not this time.

Not to me.

Not yet.

Not you, Jimmy.

Nothing.

Now listen, princess, this gig ain't the Palace, you understand?

Now, I don't wanna rush you, but we are under some time pressure.

Now, what does a girl have to do around here to get some breakfast?

Now, why don't you climb up the rope, huh? Come on.

Now, why would I want to do that when we can talk about it in person?

Oh, and you will.

Oh, Ann, I don't believe you've met...

Oh, Christ!

Oh, Christ. Oh, God.

Oh, come on, it's the 25th. It's the 25th.

Oh, I know what you're thinking.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, Jesus! Jack, you scared me.

Oh, my!

Oh, no! No!

Oh, really?

Oh, this old thing? I just threw it on.

Okay, again.

Okay, so she turns...

Okay.

Okay. All right.

On a Norwegian bark.

On board ship, he meets a mysterious girl.

On long term loan.

One of those self obsessed literary types.

Or a chimpanzee?

Or, for that matter...

Over here. I'm gonna get a wide shot of the valley.

Pack up all my cares and woe

Paperwork, Mr Denham.

Please don't say another word. Good night.

Please follow me.

Please remain calm, ladies and gentlemen...

Please, just an audition. That's all I'm asking.

Please!

Please! No!

Please! Somebody help us!

Please. I have risked everything I have on this.

Please. Please.

Preston, you have a lot to learn about the motion picture business.

Pull harder!

Ready.

Really?

Really?

Red Label, 80% proof, to be packed in a crate marked lemonade.

Right there!

Rocks to port, Captain!

Rocks to starboard, Captain!

Rocks!

Rocks!

Rollin' along

Rollin' along

Rollin' along

Romance. Who needs it?

Row, God damn it!

Row! Row!

Run, Jack!

Run, run, run!

Run!

S...

Save me from the beast!

Say I got depressed and committed suicide.

Say I stuck my head down the toilet.

Sea legs. Well, you know, sea legs.

Seagulls.

See you tomorrow.

See, that's where you're wrong, Mr Denham.

Seen enough?

Sees what?

Seven years ago, me and Mr Hayes were working our passage...

She doesn't wanna be in this picture.

She doesn't want the chocolate.

She falls in love.

She's beautiful, she's fragile, haunted.

She's dead.

She's gone!

She's not even sure if she believes in love.

She's not gonna buy this for a second.

She's standing at the railing. She doesn't know it yet...

Shore up that breach!

Shore up that breach!

Shut production down. We can't sail tonight.

Shut up and hand me the g****fruit!

Singapore.

Singing low

Skipper catch any wild animal you want.

Slip through their fingers.

So I did. Sorry about that. Let's start from the beginning.

So is he

So she could get her teeth fixed.

So this is how it's gonna be.

So we arrive at this place.

So you are ready for this voyage, Miss Darrow?

So you're interested. Good. That's settled, then.

Some guy. Driscoll.

Somebody! Somebody help me!

Somewhere out there is a woman born to play this role.

Sorry, fellows. You'll have to do better than that.

Sounds great.

Soup and biscuits. Perfect.

Soup and biscuits. Perfect.

Spoiled for choice.

Spread out! Find her!

Stain unremovable.

Stay here.

Stay with him.

Still won't tell me where he came from.

Stop him!

Stop!

Stop!

Stowed away in one of them back cages.

Sugar's sweet

Sure thing, buddy.

Sure. Universal are desperate for stock footage.

Sure. Why?

Swim, you filthy bugger.

Take it.

Take the tripod!

Take the wheel, Hayes.

Taking things that don't belong to me.

Talk about depressing.

Talk about depressing.

Taxi! Follow that ape.

Tell Maureen she doesn't have six hours to put on her face.

Tell me what you want. I'll give you anything.

Tell them the studio pressured us into an early departure.

Thank God. Don't thank God. Thank Mr Baxter.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks.

That I'm not in the habit of accepting charity from strangers.

That needs to know.

That right there.

That was very natural. I felt moved.

That's a funny one. Isn't that funnier?

That's all I can wear

That's all right, Mr Denham. I know who this is.

That's all there is. There isn't any more.

That's depressing.

That's how it ended.

That's it, folks. Show's over. Step back!

That's the thing about cockroaches.

That's the thing you come to learn about Carl.

That's where I'll shoot my picture.

That's why I have you, Preston.

The abominable snowman.

The animal footage has value.

The ape must have known what was coming.

The greatest thing your eyes have ever beheld.

The island.

The man who hunted down the mighty Kong!

The Mayor, thank you.

The most spectacular thing you've ever seen.

The one that we hired to get to the location.

The point is, she's horrified. She has to look away.

The real life hero of this story.

The rest of you stay with the ship.

The ruins of an entire civilisation.

The sacrifice of a beautiful young girl.

The shaft's not bent, as far as we can tell.

The show, it's over. It's done.

The sole surviving record of an uncharted island.

The story of our adventure...

The studio called the cops.

The thought of some mutant gorilla...

The trick is to start to build right from the back of your throat.

The tweedy twerp with his nose in his book and his head up his

The whole world will pay to see this.

The wide angle will do just fine.

Their lives lost...

Then sell it! Scrap the picture.

There are no stars, Captain.

There you could look at a thing monstrous and free.

There.

There's a knife sticking out of his back.

There's a new place. It just opened.

There's a part of him that wants to, Jimmy.

There's a warrant out for your arrest.

There's no land southwest for thousands of miles.

There's nothing officially wrong with it.

There's only one creature capable of leaving a footprint that size.

These chains are made of chrome steel!

They always crawl back up the bowl.

They are now.

They call it Skull Island.

They can get in line.

They're harmless!

They're not about to quit on you. Cut them some slack.

They're on their way. I've just had word.

They're so busy being brave, they forget to use their brains.

They've been ripped limb from limb.

They've gone.

They've taken Ann.

Think about it.

This fateful meeting that changes everything.

This is a script?

This is it?

This is New York City, and this is sacred ground.

This is what we get for our $40,000, Denham?

This jumped up little turd's gonna bankrupt us.

This room very comfortable. Plenty dim light, fresh straw.

This time tomorrow, we haul anchor.

This way!

Throw!

To defeat the thing which makes him afraid.

To his wife and kids.

To observe the und****d form of the native girls.

To port! Rocks everywhere!

Trust me, Bruce and Maureen are gonna steam up the screen...

Try to resist that impulse.

Twenty girls in feather boas prancing around like circus ponies.

Two thousand dollars.

Typical.

Until now.

Upon the shackled form of a conquered monster...

Use what you got. You're not bad looking.

Use your eyes, Preston. The place is a ruin.

Vaudeville, huh?

Wait a sec. We're killing off the first mate?

Wait!

Wait.

Wait. You know him?

Walk forward, Bruce.

Wall! There's a wall ahead!

Want me to bring them back?

Watch out.

We agreed to push Maureen's start date...

We are accustomed to look...

We can still come out of this thing okay.

We could not understand because we were too far...

We cut its ugly head off and we ram it up...

We find it. We kill it.

We found him the next morning. He'd stuck a knife through his heart.

We got away.

We got to retrieve something from this debacle.

We gotta be grateful for that, gentlemen.

We gotta go. Come on.

We have no insurance, we have no foreign currency.

We have no permits, no visas.

We have seabed!

We have to get these people out of here.

We have to turn back.

We picked up a castaway. We found him in the water.

We'll find clear conditions.

We'll finish it...

We're getting out of here, Mr Hayes.

We're going to find Skull Island.

We're leaving, Mr Hayes.

We're millionaires, boys!

We're shallowing!

We've got our picture.

We've lost too much ground already. Come on, get up!

Welcome to your stateroom, sir.

Well, that's my job.

Well, that's too bad, 'cause we just gave the part to someone else.

Well, the castaway, he spoke of a creature...

Well, then how does she know that it's real?

Well, then you've nothing to lose.

Well, we turned southwest last night.

Well...

What a writer, huh? And let me tell you, Ann...

What about Mike? He didn't get away! He's still there!

What about the prop?

What are you trying to do? Put the whole ship to sleep?

What are you, a Bolshevik or something?

What are you, an idiot?

What are you, Mr Driscoll? A lion?

What can I say? Jack Driscoll's very particular about who he works with.

What can I say? What can I say?

What do you think, Driscoll? Dialogue's got some flow now, huh?

What do you want?

What does it matter? Airplanes got him.

What else did he say?

What happened to Herb is no one's fault.

What in God's name was that?

What is it?

What is it? What is it? Where's Carl?

What is that?

What location? Carl! You're supposed to be shooting on the back lot.

What ship?

What the hell kind of a place is this?

What the hell kind of a place is this?

What the hell was that?

What type of person are you?

What would you say?

What?

What?

What? Who? English, please.

What's going on?

What's this?

What's wrong with this place?

Whatever happens, don't let go of the camera!

Whatever the hell it is you do. We gotta leave!

Where is she?

Where somebody waits for me

Where'd he go?

Where'd you get this?

Where's Ann?

Who melted his heart...

Who wrote it, Annie?

Whoa, Carl, slow down.

Why does Marlow keep going up the river?

Why doesn't he turn back?

Why don't I show Miss Darrow to her cabin?

Why is that?

Why would I write a play for you?

Why would they get spooked? What's it called?

Why would you do that?

Why? Should I be?

Why'd he do that?

Why'd they build the wall?

Will there be boobies?

Wonderful idea. Thank you, Preston.

Would you please... We're trying to shoot a scene.

Would you step out for a moment, Carl?

Yeah, but we're not shooting in Singapore.

Yeah! I'm sittin' on top, top of the world

Yeah.

Yes, and what I most admire...

Yes, I understand that.

Yes, it is.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, as you will see...

Yes, rollin' along

Yes, she is, but she's doing a picture with RKO.

Yes, singin' a song

Yes, singin' a song

Yes, we are.

Yes.

Yes.

Yesterday. I told you.

You all right?

You can take Hayes and 15 others.

You can't go in there!

You don't have to be nervous.

You don't want to be on this ship the rest of your life.

You got a boat full of chloroform we could put to good use.

You got guns. You got food. You got the ammo.

You got to be smart. Get yourself educated.

You got to straighten up.

You gotta get a girl that'll fit into Maureen's costumes.

You gotta think of yourself now.

You haven't given me the first $1,000 yet.

You like chocolate?

You promised us romantic scenes with Bruce Baxter and Maureen McKenzie!

You realise that none of the camera equipment is on board?

You run those ropes up on deck like I told you?

You said we were shooting in Singapore, right?

You see, I was just afraid that you might be...

You sell them to zoos?

You should stop the ship.

You think the kitchen will still be open on Third?

You think the kitchen will still be open on Third?

You think they asked De Mille if he would waste his time on nudie shots?

You told me I had more time. I'm sorry. Look, I gotta go.

You understand?

You wanna trap the ape?

You want my advice?

You want to read a script?

You want?

You were younger than me when they gave you one!

You won't come back.

You won't like it. It's non alcoholic.

You would have jumped.

You wouldn't happen to be a size four, by any chance?

You'll never get her into a size four.

You're absolutely right, Preston.

You're all I've got.

You're all I've got.

You're filming in the Far East?

You're gonna make them weep, Ann. You're gonna break their hearts.

You're gonna pay me?

You're looking for something else.

You're making them nervous. No sudden movements.

You're much better off sticking with film.

You're not listening. We got to delay the shoot.

You're perfect. Look at you.

You're the saddest girl I've ever met.

You're the sound recordist. Make it work.

You're writing a comedy? JACK: Yes, I am.

You're writing a stage comedy?

You've written two grand.

Your cabin is the last on the left, Mr Baxter.

Your whole life passes before your eyes.

Zoo, circus.

10 fathoms!

15 degrees port.

20 degrees starboard!

22 fathoms!

24 hours?

25 fathoms!

Ann, go. Please, I can stop this!

Big smile. Yeah! That's great!

Check up there, Jimmy! Everybody stay together!

Come on. Okay.

Come on. Stop it.

Come, come! Boys, how about a photo?

Compliments of the chef. Okay.

Delighted to meet you, ma'am. Likewise.

Douse the lights. Aye, Captain.

Englehorn sails in nine hours. So? We gotta find Miss Darrow.

Englehorn, you can't just Outside.

Get in there. Who's gonna pay for the ship?

Good. You got all the lenses? Sure.

Hayes! She's taken a pounding!

He doesn't have the smarts. He's washed up.

He said it was not about the words. Oh, please!

He said it was not about the words. Oh, please!

Hey, open up! We work here. Not anymore, lady.

Hold on. Be careful!

Holy Christ. Go, Jimmy, run!

I ain't gonna run! Get Jimmy out of here!

I'll keep him out of your way. It's okay.

I'm sorry, I'm not You know...

Is this all of the equipment? Yeah.

It's deserted. Of course it's deserted.

It's not ethical! What are they gonna do, sue me?

Kill it! No. No!

Let go! I'm not leaving the camera!

Listen, it's great to see you. Ready? I'm really appreciating that...

Look at you! I remember you.

Miss Darrow needs me! No!

No woman is worth this. This woman is worth it.

No! Ann, stay there!

No! Get back! Get back!

No! Get her out of his sight!

No! Shoot him!

No! No! Stay back.

No. He never said it. He never said it?

Not an option. Carl.

Now! Throw them!

Oh, hello, Mr Weston. Oh, jeez.

Okay. Thank you.

Please stop this! Move! Hold onto her!

Sorry, Skipper. Lumpy said Lumpy doesn't give the orders!

Sounds great. Okay.

Stop! Hold the line!

They'll kill him! There's nothing we can do.

They're not getting away with this! They just did.

This is all of it? Yeah.

Wait! No!

We're not looking for trouble. No.

Well, I really Ann, I'm telling you...

Well, I'll try not to be. Just being around is trouble.

Well, see you. Come on.

What? That.

What? You're the star of this picture.

What's going on? Go!

What's this? It's the script.

What's wrong now? Excuse me, Shakespeare.

Where's Ann? What?

Who? Men in uniform.

Yes, I do. No, you don't, Jimmy.

You get out of there! Come here! Step on it! Step on it!

You gotta leave me! Shut up and hold on!

You want one? No. I can't stay, Carl.

$2,000. It's a deal. Will you take a cheque?
