That's a funny one.
Isn't that funnier?
It's hysterical, Manny.
As long as we're laughing… we won't cry over the box office.
Talk about depressing.
Twenty girls in feather boas prancing around like circus ponies.
That's depressing.
I love a good chorus line.
- What's this?
- It's a play.
Who wrote it, Annie?
Some guy. Driscoll.
Driscoll.
From the Federal Theatre.
Don't knock it, honey.
At least they got an audience.
It'll pick up.
Isn't that right, Manny?
It always does.
See you tomorrow.
The trick is to start to build right from the back of your throat.
Works well out through the nose, too.
Have you eaten today?
Oh...
I'm not hungry.
Don't worry about me.
Hey.
You're all I've got.
Come on, take me to dinner.
Okay.
You think the kitchen will still be open on Third?
Soup and biscuits.
Perfect.
Harry, what's going on?
- Hey, open up! We work here.
- Not anymore, lady.
It's all right for you. We haven't had a paycheck in two weeks.
How we gonna eat?
- They're not getting away with this!
- They just did.
Ann, it's no use.
The show, it's over.
It's done.
I'm done.
I'm leaving, Annie.
I'm going back to Chicago.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Annie.
Ever since you were small, people been letting you down.
You gotta think of yourself now.
You should try out for that part.
Oh, I know what you're thinking.
Every time you reach out for something you care about… fate comes along and snatches it away.
But not this time, Annie.
Not this time.
- Oh, hello, Mr. Weston.
- Oh, jeez.
Look, miss, I told you already, call my office.
Leave your résumé with my secretary.
Now, why would I want to do that when we can talk about it in person?
Because that's what a smart girl would do.
But I already sent you my résumé.
You returned it unopened.
What can I say? Jack Driscoll's very particular about who he works with.
Please, just an audition.
That's all I'm asking.
Jesus, you don't give up, do you?
Mr. Weston, I know this role backwards.
Well, that's too bad, 'cause we just gave the part to someone else.
I'm sorry, kid.
The play is cast.
I know times are tough.
You want my advice?
Use what you got.
You're not bad-looking.
A girl like you doesn't have to starve.
There's a new place.
It just opened.
Now listen, princess, this gig ain't the Palace, you understand?
Ask for Kenny K.
Tell him I sent you.
Just play the date, take the money… forget you was ever there.
How much more is there?
Another five reels.
Lights up.
This is it?
This is what we get for our $40,000, Denham?
Another one of your safari pictures?
You promised us romantic scenes with Bruce Baxter and Maureen McKenzie!
Come on, fellows, you know the deal.
We agreed to push Maureen's start date… so she could get her teeth fixed.
It's not the principle of the thing, it's the money.
Carl, you've been in production for over two months.
Trust me, Bruce and Maureen are gonna steam up the screen… once we get them on the ship.
What ship?
The one that we hired to get to the location.
What location? Carl! You're supposed to be shooting on the back lot.
Yes, I understand that.
But, fellows, we're not making that film anymore… and I'll tell you why.
The story has 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.
Whoa, Carl, slow down.
Is he asking for more money?
He's asking us to fund a wild goose chase.
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.
Will there be boobies?
Boobies?
Jigglies. Jiblonkas.
Bazooms.
In my experience, people only go to these films… to observe the undraped form of the native girls.
What are you, an idiot?
You think they asked De Mille 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!
Would you step out for a moment, Carl?
Zelman and Associates.
Give me that, quick.
You won't like it.
It's non-alcoholic.
Preston, you have a lot to learn about the motion picture business.
Don't write him off, fellows.
He's hotheaded, sure… but Carl Denham's made some interesting pictures.
He's had a lot of near-success.
He's a preening self-promoter.
An ambitious no-talent. The guy's got "loser" written all over him.
I understand your disappointment...
He can't direct.
He doesn't have the smarts.
He's washed up.
It's all over town.
This jumped-up little turd's gonna bankrupt us.
The animal footage has value.
Sure. Universal are desperate for stock footage.
Then sell it!
Scrap the picture.
We got to retrieve something from this debacle.
Get him back in.
Mr. Denham.
I want the cast and crew on the ship within the hour.
No, Carl, you can't do this.
Tell them the studio pressured us into an early departure.
- It's not ethical!
- What are they gonna do, sue me?
They can get in line.
I'm not gonna let them kill my film.
You realize that none of the camera equipment is on board?
We have no permits, no visas.
That's why I have you, Preston.
We have no insurance, we have no foreign currency.
In fact, we have no currency of any kind.
He's there.
- Get in there.
- Who's gonna pay for the ship?
Get in.
- You get out of there! Come here!
- Step on it! Step on it!
Get out!
You're finished, Denham!
Don't worry, Preston.
I've had a lot of practice at this.
I'm real good at crapping the crappers.
Red Label, 80% proof… to be packed in a crate marked "lemonade. "
You got it.
Tell Maureen she doesn't have six hours to put on her face.
If she wants to be in this picture, she's gotta be on that boat.
She doesn't wanna be in this picture.
- Maureen pulled out.
- She pulled out?
Yesterday. I told you.
You said we were shooting in Singapore, right?
That's what you told her.
Yeah, but we're not shooting in Singapore.
God damn it, Preston, all you had to do was look her in the eye and lie.
I got to get to a phone, talk to Harlow's people.
She's unavailable.
Myrna Loy? Clara Bow?
Mae West?
You'll never get her into a size four.
You gotta get a girl that'll fit into Maureen's costumes.
Fay's a size four.
Yes, she is, but she's doing a picture with RKO.
Cooper, huh?
I might have known.
You're not listening.
We got to delay the shoot.
Shut production down.
We can't sail tonight.
- Not an option.
- Carl.
I said I'd find a girl.
For God's sake, Preston, think like a winner!
Call Jack. I need that goddamn screenplay!
Defeat is always momentary.
What?
Hey! You gonna pay for this?
Excuse me.
Ma'am, I think you dropped this.
Vaudeville, huh?
I worked vaudeville once. That is a tough audience.
If you don't kill them fast, they kill you.
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.
It was obviously a terrible misunderstanding.
It's just that I haven't been paid in a while.
That's awful. Anyway, Ann...
May I call you Ann?
You wouldn't happen to be a size four, by any chance?
No, no. Oh, God, no.
You've got me all wrong.
Miss Darrow, please.
I'm not that type of person at all.
What type of person are you?
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. Please.
Okay.
Ann, I want you to imagine… a handsome explorer bound for the Far East.
You're filming in the Far East?
Singapore.
On board ship, he meets a mysterious girl.
She's beautiful, she's fragile, haunted.
And 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 judgment...
She falls in love.
Yes.
But she doesn't trust it.
She's not even sure if she believes in love.
Uh...
really?
If she loves someone, it's doomed.
Why is that?
Good things never last, Mr. Denham.
So you're interested. Good.
That's settled, then.
Now, I don't wanna rush you, but we are under some time pressure.
- Well, I really...
- Ann, I'm telling you… you're perfect. Look at you.
You're the saddest girl I've ever met.
You're gonna make them weep, Ann.
You're gonna break their hearts.
See, that's where you're wrong, Mr. Denham.
I make people laugh, that's what I do.
Good luck with your picture.
Ann? Miss Darrow, please!
I'm offering you money.
Adventure, fame, the thrill of a lifetime, and a long sea voyage.
You want to read a script?
Jack Driscoll's turning in a draft as we speak.
Jack Driscoll?
Sure. Why?
Wait. You know him?
No, not personally.
I've seen his plays.
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.
Knew what?
It was always going to be you.
- How much do I owe you?
- Make it a quarter.
Keep the change.
Is this the moving picture ship?
Not exactly.
It's actually this one over here.
Don't let appearances deceive you.
It's much more spacious on board.
- Is this all of the equipment?
- Yeah.
- This is all of it?
- Yeah.
- We're taking the Bell & Howell?
- Yeah.
- Good. You got all the lenses?
- Sure.
- Carl!
- Yes!
Get it on board, fellows, come on.
it's bad, it's bad.
They're on their way.
I've just had word.
- Who?
- Men in uniform.
The studio called the cops.
Englehorn! Cast off!
Hoist up the mainsail, raise the anchor… whatever the hell it is you do. We gotta leave!
I cannot do that.
We are waiting on the manifest.
What? Who? English, please.
Paperwork, Mr. Denham.
I'll give you another $1,to leave now.
You haven't given me the first $1,000 yet.
Can we talk about this later?
Can't you see we're in the company of a VIP guest?
Ma'am.
Ann Darrow.
So you are ready for this voyage, Miss Darrow?
The shaft's not bent, as far as we can tell.
But she struck hard against the rock!
Captain!
Better come up quick!
Right there!
Want me to bring them back?
I don't give a damn about Carl Denham.
I want this ship fixed and ready to float on the next high tide!
Come on, move it.
We're leaving, Mr. Hayes.
Can you believe this, Jack?
We've got our picture.
Why does Marlow keep going up the river?
Why doesn't he turn back?
There's a part of him that wants to, Jimmy.
A part deep inside himself that sounds a warning.
But there's another part… that needs to know.
To defeat the thing which makes him afraid.
"We could not understand because we were too far… and could not remember… because we were traveling in the night of first ages… of those ages that are gone… leaving hardly a sign, and no memories.
"We are accustomed to look… upon the shackled form of a conquered monster… but there… there you could look at a thing monstrous and free. "
It's not an adventure story...
is it, Mr. Hayes?
No, Jimmy.
t's not.
- It's deserted.
- Of course it's deserted.
Use your eyes, Preston.
The place is a ruin.
Nobody's lived here for hundreds of years.
Mr. Denham, I think we should go back.
I will handle this.
Look. Chocolate.
You like chocolate?
It's good to eat.
You want?
Take it.
Here, put it in your hand and take it.
For God's sakes, Denham, leave the native alone.
She doesn't want the chocolate.
Aah!
All right!
Just a bunch of women and old folks!
They're harmless!
Ann!
Jack.
Seen enough?
Lighten the ship!
Anything that's not bolted down goes overboard!
Just heave it!
We got away.
We gotta be grateful for that, gentlemen.
What about Mike? He didn't get away! He's still there!
Mike died doing what he believed in!
He didn't die for nothing.
And I'll tell you something else. I'm gonna finish this film for Mike!
I'll finish it… and I'll donate the proceeds… to his wife and kids.
Because that man is a hero, and he deserves nothing less.
Hear, hear!
Chuck everything except for the potatoes!
- What's wrong now?
Excuse me, Shakespeare.
Come on, men! Come on, hurry!
Drop those spare cables overboard!
Go on, just chuck it!
- Where's Ann?
- What?
Where's Ann?
Ann!
She's free!
Full ahead, both engines!
Ann!
No! Stop! Turn back!
Stop!
We have to turn back.
They've taken Ann.
Kong! Kong! Kong!
All hands going ashore!
Report to stations!
Jump to it!
Jump to it, gentlemen!
We're doing it, Mr. Hayes!
Come on, move it!
Pull harder!
Row! Row!
Come on!
Kong.
Spread out! Find her!
Miss Darrow!
- Check up there, Jimmy!
- Everybody stay together!
Ann!
She's here somewhere!
What in God's name was that?
Behind the wall! Behind the wall!
Jack: She's gone! Carl, what is it? You saw something.
Englehorn: You can take Hayes and 15 others. I'll put a guard on the gate until you return. The rest of you stay with the ship.
Lumpy: Choy!
Hayes: Not you, Jimmy.
Jimmy: Oh, come on, Mr. Hayes. Look at them. None of them knows which way to point a gun.
Hayes: Stay here.
Jimmy: Miss Darrow needs me!
Hayes: No!
Carl: Bring the tripod and all of the film stock.
Herb: You wanna go with the 6-inch lens?
The wide-angle will do just fine.
Englehorn: You got guns. You got food. You got the ammo. And you got 24 hours!
Bruce: 24 hours?
Englehorn: This time tomorrow, we haul anchor.
Miss Darrow!
Ann!
Miss Darrow!
Miss Darrow!
What is it?
Hayes: Cut it out! Hold your fire! Hold your fire.
Stay down, damn it! Stay down!
Come on.
Good shooting, Mr Hayes.
Aren’t those things suppose to be exinct?
Lumpy: They are now.
Bruce: What the hell kind of a place is this?
Miss Darrow!
Jack: Ann!
Miss Darrow!
Jack: Ann!
Lumpy: Christ, it's a bleeding boneyard! They've been ripped limb from limb.
Jack: Ann! Ann!
Jimmy: Just keep walking, Mr. Hayes. Pretend you didn't see me.
Jesus, Jimmy.
- Hey, I need that!
I'm not giving you a gun!
You were younger than me when they gave you one.
I was in the army. I was trained. I had a drill sergeant.
I wanna help bring her back.
Don't make me regret it.
Conserve your ammunition!
I'm knackered.
Go ahead and breathe.
Great idea.
Fellas, we don't have time for this. We've lost too much ground already. Come on, get up!
They're not about to quit on you. Cut them some slack. All right, you got five minutes! Everybody stay in sight.
Carl: Over here. I'm gonna get a wide shot of the valley.
Bloody Nora!
Jimmy: Is that what took Miss Darrow?
Lumpy: There's only one creature capable of leaving a footprint that size. The abominable snowman.
Yeah, a snowman.
We dead meat.
It's got to be what, 20, 25 feet?
Carl saw it. Let's ask him.
Denham! Where'd he go?
Walk forward, Bruce.
What?
You're the star of this picture. Get into character and head toward the animals.
Bruce: What the hell kind of a place is this? Are you sure about this, Denham? Don't we have a stand-in for this type of thing?
Carl: I need you in the shot, or people will say they're fake.
Bruce: Nobody's gonna think these are fake.
Carl: You're making them nervous. No sudden movements.
Btuce: I'm not moving.
Mother of God.
What's this?
What is it? What is it? Where's Carl?
Bruce: Carl? He's up there, filming.
Lumpy: Bugger this!
Carl: Run, Jack!
- Holy Christ.
- Go, Jimmy, run!
Run, run, run!
- Let go!
- I'm not leaving the camera!
Let go, you idiot!
Carl, run!
Coming through!
No!
Carl! Carl! Get up! Come on. Come on.
Mr. Denham! Mr. Denham!
Carl: Herb! Herb, come on!
Herb: Take the tripod!
Carl: Come on! I'm pulling you up! Hold on to your end!
Herb: Go!
Carl: No, I'm not going anywhere without you!
Herb: You gotta leave me!
Carl: Shut up and hold on!
Hayes: Jimmy, do a headcount. I want to know how many are injured and how bad.
Lumpy: Injured? Four of us are dead!
Preston: It's not your fault. What happened to Herb is no one's fault.
Carl: You're absolutely right, Preston. And I'll tell you something else. Herbert didn't die for nothing. He died for what he believed in, and I'm gonna honor that. He died believing there was still some mystery left in this world. And we could all have a piece of it… for the price of an admission ticket. God damn it, Preston, we're gonna finish this film for Herb. We'll finish it… and donate the proceeds to his wife and kids.
Come on, guys. We need more rope.
Bruce: All right, we gotta get back to the ship. Englehorn sails in nine hours.
- So? We gotta find Miss Darrow.
Bruce: Hey, do you hear me? We're gonna be stranded here. Look, fellows, Miss Darrow was a great gal, no question. And she was a wonderful person. It's a terrible loss and we're all gonna miss her.
I always knew you were nothing like the tough guy you play on screen. I just never figured you for a coward.
Hey, pal! Hey, wake up. Heroes don't look like me, not in the real world. In the real world, they got bad teeth, a bald spot, and a beer gut. I'm just an actor with a gun, who's lost his motivation. Be seeing you.
Anyone else?
- Well, see you.
- Come on.
No!
I said no!
That's all there is. There isn't any more.
Hayes: Get them off the boat. Keep paddling!
Lumpy: What the hell was that?
Get them out of there! Preston
Preston: Give me your hand! Jack! Jack!
Lumpy: Choy! Swim you filthy bugger!
Hayes: Swim to shore as fast as you can!
Carl: Hold on, Preston! Whatever happens, don’t let go of the camera!
Come on, get out of the water. Get down!
Preston. It’s working.
Lumpy: Did you get that, did you?
What is it? Mr. Hayes?
If anything happens, I want you to run. You understand?
Jimmy: I'm not a coward. I ain't gonna run.
It's not about being brave, Jimmy.
Go back. Back across the log!
- I ain't gonna run!
- Get Jimmy out of here!
- No!
- Get back! Get back!
Move back!
Look at me.
- Let him go!
- You got to run, Jimmy. Do as I say. Go with Jack. Run!
- No!
- Shoot him!
Here! Over here!
Hold on! Hold on!
Choy: Lumpy! Help me!
Lumpy: Bloody hell, Choy!
Ann: No! Oh, my!
Ann: Wait!
Carl.
Jimmy. Jimmy
Jimmy.
You all right?
No.
Lumpy: Get off! Get it off! Get off! Get it off!
Kill it!
Jimmy: Stop moving!
Get it off my face.
Jimmy: Stay still.
- I am standing still.
- Hold on.
- Be careful!
Don't move! Stay away from the walls!
Coming through!
Get out of there now! Climb!
Nobody get in my way.
Come on, Jimmy. Let’s go. Get up the rope. Let’s go. Hurry up.
Jimmy. Let’s go.
Okay.
Just as you go down, for the third and final time as your head disappears beneath the waves. And your lungs will with water, do you know what happens in those last precious seconds before you drown?
Come on, buddy, Get up the rope. Come on. Get out of here. Come on.
Your whole life pasesss before your eyes. And if you lived as a true american, you get to watch it all in color.
And you will. Now why don’t you climb up the rope. Come on. Come on, Drisscol. Let’s go!
It's beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful.
Carl: Thank God.
Don't thank God. Thank Mr. Baxter. He insisted on a rescue mission. Me? I knew you'd be okay. That's the thing about cockroaches. No matter how many times you flush them down the toilet… they always crawl back up the bowl.
Carl: Hey, buddy? I'm out of the bowl. I'm dryin' off my wings and trekkin' across the lid.
Driscoll! Don't be a fool! Give it up. It's useless! She's dead.
Carl: She's not dead. Jack's gonna bring her back… and the ape will be hard on his heels. We can still come out of this thing okay. More than okay. Think about it. You got a boat full of chloroform we could put to good use.
You wanna trap the ape? I don't think so.
Isn't that what you do? Live animal capture? I heard you were the best. Jack! Look after yourself!
Keep the gate open, will you?
Sure thing, buddy. Good luck! I'm sorry.
Ann. Come on.
Ann: Jack! Run!
Jack, Jack!
Jack.
Ann, it's okay.
Ann, let's go. Let's go. Come on! Let's go. Come on. Come on!
Jack: Carl!
Ann: Please! Somebody help us! They've gone.
Jack: Carl. Oh, christ. Carl!
Preston: Drop the bridge. Do it now, for Christ's sake!
Carl: Not yet. Wait. Wait. Wait!
Come on!
- Now!
- Throw them!
No!
What are you out of your mind?
- Stop!
- Hold the line!
Keep him down!
Please! No! Stop! Jack No.
- Get her out of...
- They'll kill him!
- There's nothing we can do.
- No!
- Get her out of his sight!
- It's too late.
- Throw it!
Let go of me.
We gotta go. Come on. Come on.
- Stop it. Leave me alone!
Ann, please come on.
- Kill it!
- No. No!
It's over, you goddamn lunatic! All of you, run!
Look out!
- Stay there!
- It's me he wants! Please stop this!
- Move! Hold onto her! Ann, go.
- Please, I can stop this! No!
- Ann, stay there!
Get it out!
Get the hell out of here!
- Come on!
- Jimmy, don't be crazy! Come on. Don't be crazy.
Let me go!
Cast off!
Come on, Carl!
- Row!
- Wait.
Row, God damn it!
Go back.
Jimmy, no!
No! No! Don't! Leave him alone!
Hide out in the back!
Carl: Wait!
Ann; No! No! No! Please don't!
Carl: The whole world will pay to see this. We're millionaires, boys! I'll share it with all of you! In a few months his name will be up in lights on Broadway! Kong! The Eighth Wonder of the World!
What can I say? What can I say?
Any comments, sir?
The Mayor, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Get used to it.
- Listen, great to see you.
- Ready?
I'm really appreciating that...
- Look at you!
- I remember you.
- You're a lucky guy, Denham.
- Am I a lucky guy?
Maybe you're the lucky guy.
Carl!
- Zelman!
- I told you.
I know you did and I appreciate it.
Let's get a shot of this.
Come on.
- Big smile.
- Yeah! That's great!
Look at yourself. Look at what you've become. No woman is worth this.
This woman is worth it. I don't care what it takes, I gotta win her back.
Oh, really? She's not gonna buy this for a second.
Shut up and hand me the grapefruit!
- You're writing a comedy?
- Yes, I am. I'm writing it for you.
Why would you do that?
Why would I write a play for you? sn't it obvious?
Oh, I'm sorry. I couldn't help but overhear.
So, he took me to this fancy French restaurant… and halfway through the hors d'oeuvres, he clutches my hand.
And that's when he told you how he felt?
- No. He never said it.
- He never said it?
He probably thought he didn't need to say it.
Well, then how does she know that it's real?
- He said it was not about the words.
- Oh, please! If you feel it, you say it. It's really very simple.
He said we'd talk about it later. Only there was no later. It never happened. That's how it ended.
He just let you walk away? He didn't try to save it?
I honestly believed things might actually work out… which was really very…
Both: Foolish.
Men. Oh, they'll give you the world… but they let the one thing that truly matters… slip through their fingers. Typical. They're so busy being brave, they forget to use their brains.
Romance. Who needs it?
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen… I'm here to tell you a very strange story. The story of our adventure… in which 17 of our party suffered horrible deaths… their lives lost… in pursuit of a savage beast… a monstrous aberration of nature. But even the meanest brute can be tamed. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, as you will see… the beast was no match… for the charms of a girl. A girl from New York… Who melted his heart… bringing to mind that old Arabian proverb… "And lo, the beast looked upon the face of beauty… and beauty stayed his hand. And from that day forward, he was as one dead. " And now, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to show you… the greatest thing your eyes have ever beheld. He was a king in the world he knew, but he comes to you now a captive. Ladies and gentlemen… I give you Kong, The Eighth Wonder of the World! Don't be alarmed. It's perfectly safe. These chains are made of chrome steel! Observe, if you will… I am touching the beast. I am actually laying my hand on the 25-foot gorilla. Crank 'em up, fellas. And now, we have in the auditorium tonight… a surprise guest. The real-life hero of this story. The man who hunted down the mighty Kong! The man who risked all to win the freedom of a helpless female. A big hand for Mr. Bruce Baxter!
Thank you.
He was right. About there still being some mystery left in this world… and we can all have a piece of it… for the price of an admission ticket.
That's the thing you come to learn about Carl. His unfailing ability to destroy the things he loves.
Please remain calm, ladies and gentlemen… for we now come to the climax of this savage ritual. The sacrifice of a beautiful young girl. Behold her terror as she is offered up to the mighty Kong! A big hand, folks, for the bravest girl I've ever met! Miss Ann Darrow.
Save me from the beast! Help me!
Where is she? Where's Ann?
I have no idea. I heard he offered her all kinds of money and she turned him down flat.
Here's your story, boys.
"Beauty and the man who saved her from the beast. "
Jack: No. We have to get these people out of here. Everyone needs to leave, okay? Come on.
Let him roar. It makes a swell picture.
Head for the exits.
Get your own seat, buddy. You're not having mine.
Excuse me, fellows. Coming through. Coming through, fellows.
Get me down! Help me, please! Somebody! Somebody help me!
Go! Go! Get out!
Go! Go!
Taxi! Follow that ape. Come on, pal, we gotta draw him off.
It's all yours, buddy.
Come on.
Fire!
Stop!
Listen up. This is New York City and this is sacred ground. You hear me? It was built for humans, by humans. Not for stinking lice infested apes. The thought of the some mutant gorilla crapping all over the streets of this fair city fills me with disgust. So this is how it’s gonna be. We found it. We kill it. We cut its ugly head off and we ram it up…
Beautiful. Yes. Yes, it is.
Hey! Hey! Nobody past this point. You can't go in there!
Stop him!
Hey! Get back. You're not allowed up there!
- What's going on?
- Go!
Ann: No! No! Please! No! No!
Ann. Ann.
Move along.
Get out of here!
Just one shot! One shot!
Come, come!
- Boys, how about a photo? Look at me. Come on, watch the camera. Come a little closer.
That's it, folks. Show's over. Step back! Clear the area. That's it. Shove off, boys.
Why'd he do that? Climb up there and get himself cornered. The ape must have known what was coming.
He's just a dumb animal. Didn't know nothing. What does it matter? Airplanes got him.
Carl: It wasn't the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast.
