King Kong2005

Zelman:
[upon receiving word that Carl Denham has hired a ship to get to a location for his picture] What location, Carl?! You're supposed to be shooting on the back lot!

Carl Denham:
Yes, I understand that. But fellas, we're not making that film anymore. Things have changed. The script has been rewritten. Life... intervened. I've come into possession of a map. The sole surviving record of an uncharted island. A place that was thought to exist only in myth. Until now...

Zelman:
Whoa. Carl. Slow down.

Sleazy Studio Guy:
Is he asking for more money?

Thuggish Studio Guy:
He's asking us to fund a wild goose chase.

Carl Denham:
I'm talking about a primitive world... never before seen by man. The ruins of an entire civilization. The most spectacular thing you've ever seen. That's where I'll shoot my picture.

Sleazy Studio Guy:
Will there be boobies?

Carl Denham:
Boobies?

Sleazy Studio Guy:
Jigglies. Jiblonkas. Bazooms. In my experience, people only go to these films to observe the undraped form of the native girls.

Carl Denham:
What are you, an idiot? You think they asked DeMille if he would waste his time on nudie shots? NO! They respected the filmmaker! They showed some class! Not that you'd know what that means, you cheap lowlife! God...

Zelman:
Would you step out for a moment, Carl?

[Carl leaves the room and points to a glass of water] Gimme that!

Preston:
You won't like it. It's non-alcoholic.

Carl Denham:
[emptying the water into a plant pot] Preston, you have a lot to learn about the motion picture business. [he presses the glass against the door and listens intently]

Zelman:
Don't get me wrong. Carl Denham's made some interesting pictures. He's had a lot of... near success.

Thuggish Studio Guy:
He's a preening self-promoter. Washed up, no talent. The guy's got "loser" written all over him.

Zelman:
Look, I know his project isn't working out as well as we planned, but--

Thuggish Studio Guy:
This jumped-up little turd's gonna bankrupt us!

Zelman:
The animal footage has value.

Sleazy Studio Guy:
Sure! Universal are desperate for stock footage!

Thuggish Studio Guy:
Then sell it! Scrap the picture!

Zelman:
[sighs] Get him back in.

Zelman's Assistant:
Mr... Denham? [Carl and Preston have disappeared from the waiting room]
