The Son of Kong

Carl Denham:
Stick with me and you'll be wearing diamonds.

[Hilda sings Runaway Blues]

Carl Denham:
Hey, she's got something there.

Englehorn:
It certainly isn't a voice!

Hilda:
[tries to coax her show's released monkeys out of the trees] Tony, won't you please come down? Tony? Tony?

Carl Denham:
You'll never catch a monkey that way.

Hilda:
Did you ever catch a monkey?

Carl Denham:
Did *I* ever catch...? [dry chuckle] Lady, you'd be surprised.

Carl Denham:
Skipper, believe it or not, there's a little Kong!

Englehorn:
What? A little K -... How little?

Carl Denham:
Well, just a little one... about twelve feet high.

Helstrom:
[stops Hilda in the streets of Dakang] Oh, ah, miss... I heard about your father. If I could do anything...

Hilda:
[ice cold] You've done enough. You killed my father.

Helstrom:
Killed? Why... what? The tent caught fire...

Hilda:
My father was beaten over the head. He wasn't burned. What do you think the magistrate will say to that when he gets here?

Helstrom:
You can't accuse me! You mustn't dare...

Hilda:
How do you know I wasn't? Unless you were? How do you know what my father said me before he... before he died?

Helstrom:
[scared] He... What did he say?

Hilda:
The magistrate will be here in a few days. I'll tell him.

Helstrom:
[tries to be threatening] You'd better be careful! What are you going to tell the magistrate?

Hilda:
You can just wonder about that 'till he gets here.

Helstrom:
[sees Denham and Englehorn sitting in a Dakang bar] Carl Denham! Don't you remember me? Nils Helstrom.

Carl Denham:
Why, for the love of Mike. Helstrom! Sure I remember you! [indicates Englhorn] Oh, this is Captain Englehorn. Captain Helstrom. [Englehorn and Helstrom shake hands] Sit down. [to Englehorn] Say, do you know who this is? The man who gave me the map of Kong's Island. And he wants to know if I remember him? [laughs] Have a drink. [pours Helstrom a drink]

Helstrom:
[to Englehorn] So, that was your ship came in last night?

Englehorn:
Mine and Denham's.

Helstrom:
[to Denham] I heard about you in Singapore. How you captured the biggest animal on earth and taken him back to New York.

Red:
[after hearing about the last trip to Kong's island] He expect *us* to go ashore?

[gestures to Denham]

Helstrom:
Sure. He's got to have a bodyguard, hasn't he? Say, you know there were a dozen sailors killed on the last voyage he made here?

Red:
Killed? By them animals?

Helstrom:
Yeah. But, you see Denham and the Skipper came out all right. Ah, but you don't have to worry. There are plenty of rifles aboard.

[suggestively]

Helstrom:
If *I* were captain, I certainly wouldn't take my crew into danger.

Carl Denham:
If you want me to, I'll give Helstrom a tip that he's too thick with the crew.

Englehorn:
Go ahead. It's bad for discipline.

Carl Denham:
[sees Charlie leading a procession of the crew] Ha. We must be in Russia. Here comes the Committee of the Workers.

Charlie, the Chinese Cook:
Captain Englehorn!

Englehorn:
Well?

Charlie, the Chinese Cook:
Captain, I went down in the forward hold.

Englehorn:
What of it?

Charlie, the Chinese Cook:
Captain, I found something!

Englehorn:
What's the matter? Found what?

Carl Denham:
[sees Charlie reach into the crowd of sailors and pull out Hilda, who was stowing away in the forward hold] Holy mackerel!

Carl Denham:
Skipper, believe it or not, there's a little Kong!

Englehorn:
What? A little K -... How little?

Mrs. Hudson, Landlady:
[peeking out door] There's a newsboy, and a peddler, and a taxi driver out there.

Carl Denham:
I betcha a nickel they're all process servers.

Carl Denham:
Say, that's no way to talk. "I wasn't very good. The show wasn't very good." Cut it out. You wanna tell everybody how good you are. Throw out your chest. Brag about yourself.

Helstrom:
Yeah, you're broke too.

Carl Denham:
Broke? [chuckles] I'm shattered.

Carl Denham:
If I don't get out of this house I'll bite someone.

Carl Denham:
[excited] Boy, look at him scrap! Just like his Old Man!

Reporter:
If I don't get a story I'll lose my job.

Carl Denham:
Alright, tell 'em this: Carl Denham, the boy who was gonna make a million dollars off King Kong, is flat broke.

[repeated line]

Carl Denham:
Stick to me, kid, and you'll wear diamonds.

Carl Denham:
[after little Kong has broken the rifle] Now look what you've done, you big dummy!

Carl Denham:
Do you think he knew he was saving me?

Helstrom:
Oh, and I'm going to make you First Mate.

Red:
Is that so? Do you think we got rid of a good captain for a bad one?

Red:
Throw him overboard with the rest of the captains.

Hilda:
You said, 'Stick to you'.

Carl Denham:
[as Helstrom is clinging to the small boat] Aw, Skipper, do we *hafta* bring him aboard?

Carl Denham:
[as Little Kong follows Denham and Hilda] Come on, Baby. Some baby.

Red:
Row, you blasted bourgeois! It's a nice day for it.
