King Kong2005

Carl Denham:
Vaudeville, huh? I worked Vaudeville once. That is a tough audience. If you don't kill 'em fast, they kill you--

Ann Darrow:
Mr. Denham. I want you to know that I'm not in the habit of accepting charity from strangers, or for that matter... taking things that don't belong to me.

Carl Denham:
It was obviously a terrible misunderstanding.

Ann Darrow:
It's just that I haven't been paid in a while--

Carl Denham:
That's awful. Anyway, Ann. You wouldn't happen to be a size 4 by any chance? [Ann stands to leave] No, no. Oh God, no! You've got me all wrong. Ann, please! I'm not that type of person at all.

Ann Darrow:
What type of person are you?

Carl Denham:
I'm someone you can trust, Ann. I'm a movie producer. Believe me, I am on the level. No funny business. Please, sit down. Please, sit down. Please. [Ann reluctantly sits] I want you to imagine a handsome explorer bound for the Far East.

Ann Darrow:
You're filming in the Far East?

Carl Denham:
Singapore. On board ship he meets a mysterious girl. She's beautiful, she's fragile. Taunted. But she can't escape the feeling that forces beyond her control are compelling her down a road, from which she cannot draw back. It's as if her whole life has been a prelude to this moment; this fateful meeting... that changes everything. And sure enough, against her better judgement...

Ann Darrow:
She falls in love.

Carl Denham:
Yes!

Ann Darrow:
But she doesn't trust it. She's not even sure if she believes in love.

Carl Denham:
Uh... really? Why is that?

Ann Darrow:
Good things never last, Mr. Denham.

Carl Denham:
So you're interested? Great. Now, I don't wanna rush you, but we are under some time pressure.

Ann Darrow:
Well, I really--

Carl Denham:
Ann, I'm telling you. You're perfect. Look at you, you're the saddest girl I've ever met. You're gonna make 'em weep, Ann. You're gonna break their hearts.

Ann Darrow:
See, that's where you're wrong, Mr. Denham. I make people laugh, that's what I do. Good luck with your picture.

Carl:
Wait! Ann, Miss Darrow, Please! I'm offering you money, adventure, fame, the thrill of a lifetime and a long sea voyage! You wanna read a script? Jack Driscoll's turning in a draft as we speak.

Ann Darrow:
Jack Driscoll?

Carl Denham:
Sure, why? Wait. You know him?

Ann Darrow:
No, not personally. I've seen his plays.

Carl Denham:
What a writer, huh? And let me tell you, Ann... Jack Driscoll does not want just anyone starring in this picture. He said to me, "Carl... somewhere out there is a woman born to play this role." And as soon as I saw you, I knew.

Ann Darrow:
Knew what?

Carl Denham:
It was always going to be you.
