1. Say, is this the moving-picture ship?Copy !req
2. The Venture? Yeah.Copy !req
3. - Are you going on this crazy voyage?
- What's crazy about it?Copy !req
4. I don't know. But everybody is talking
about that crazy fella running it.Copy !req
5. - Carl Denham?
- Guess that's the name.Copy !req
6. He ain't scared of nothing.
If he wants a picture of a lion...Copy !req
7. he just goes up to him
and tells him to look pleasant.Copy !req
8. He's a tough egg. Why all this talk
about this voyage being crazy?Copy !req
9. Everybody around the docks is talking
about the cargo, for one thing.Copy !req
10. And I never did see a ship
this size with such a crew.Copy !req
11. - Not enough men to handle her?
- Not enough?Copy !req
12. Three times more than the ship needs.Copy !req
13. I don't see where they're gonna
have room enough to sleep.Copy !req
14. Hey, down there.
What do you want?Copy !req
15. - Denham aboard?
- Who are you?Copy !req
16. My name is Weston, the theatrical agent.Copy !req
17. Well, why didn't you say so?
Come on aboard.Copy !req
18. Denham's getting wild. I hope you've got
some good news for him.Copy !req
19. Well, Mr. Denham, you know the reasons
for hurrying as well as I do.Copy !req
20. The insurance company found out
we're carrying explosives.Copy !req
21. Marshal will be aboard
tomorrow or next day.Copy !req
22. If we make a legal case of it,
we'll be tied up for months?Copy !req
23. With enough ammunition
to blow up the harbor.Copy !req
24. What do you think the marshal will say
to these new gas bombs of yours?Copy !req
25. According to you, one of them
is enough to knock out an elephant.Copy !req
26. We've got to get where we're going
before the monsoon starts.Copy !req
27. - Trust me to see you through a blow.
- Oh, now, don't get sore, skipper.Copy !req
28. You can't run into the rainy season when
you're trying to make an outdoor picture.Copy !req
29. Months wasted, money gone
and nothing to show.Copy !req
30. Still you always bring back a picture.Copy !req
31. And everybody says,
"There's only one Carl Denham."Copy !req
32. Weston, I was just going ashore
to call you.Copy !req
33. If I'd known that, I would have waited.Copy !req
34. This is the skipper.
Weston, the theatrical agent.Copy !req
35. I guess you met Driscoll,
the first mate.Copy !req
36. Well, Weston, how about the girl?Copy !req
37. - It can't be done, Denham.
- What?Copy !req
38. It's got to be done.
Now, look here, Weston.Copy !req
39. Somebody's interfered
with every girl I've tried to hire.Copy !req
40. Now all the agents in town
have shut down on me. All but you.Copy !req
41. - You know I'm square.
- Everybody knows you're square.Copy !req
42. But you've got
a reputation for recklessness...Copy !req
43. that can't be glossed over.
Then you're so secretive.Copy !req
44. You said it.Copy !req
45. Even the skipper and mate don't
know where they're going, what.Copy !req
46. There you are.
I've got a conscience, Denham.Copy !req
47. I can't send a pretty girl
such as you ask on a job like this...Copy !req
48. - ... without telling her what to expect.
- What is she to expect?Copy !req
49. To go off on a trip
for no one knows how long...Copy !req
50. to some spot you don't even hint at...Copy !req
51. the only woman on a ship with
the toughest mugs I ever looked at.Copy !req
52. Eh... I mean the crew.Copy !req
53. Good Lord, you talk as if
I never brought anybody back alive.Copy !req
54. The skipper and Driscoll
have stuck to me on two trips.Copy !req
55. - They look well enough.
- Sure, we're healthy.Copy !req
56. But it's a different thing
taking a girl into danger.Copy !req
57. I suppose there's no danger in New York.Copy !req
58. Listen, there are dozens of girls
in this town...Copy !req
59. that are in more danger
than they are with me.Copy !req
60. Yeah, but they know that kind of danger.Copy !req
61. You never had a woman
in any of your pictures.Copy !req
62. - Why do you want one?
- Holy mackerel!Copy !req
63. Do you think I wanna haul
a woman around?Copy !req
64. - Then why?
- Because the public, bless them...Copy !req
65. must have a pretty face.Copy !req
66. Sure, everybody likes romance.Copy !req
67. Isn't there any romance or adventure
without having a flapper in it?Copy !req
68. Well, Mr. Denham, why not take
a picture in a monastery?Copy !req
69. Makes me sore. I go out,
sweat blood to make a swell picture...Copy !req
70. then the critics
and the exhibitors all say:Copy !req
71. "If this picture had love interest,
it would gross twice as much."Copy !req
72. The public wants a girl, and this time
I'm gonna give what they want.Copy !req
73. - Don't know where you'll get her.
- I've gotta get her, Weston.Copy !req
74. We've gotta leave by morning.Copy !req
75. - We've gotta be gone by daylight.
- Why?Copy !req
76. Well, there's a good reason.Copy !req
77. Everything I hear about it
makes me like it less.Copy !req
78. I'm glad I didn't get you a girl.Copy !req
79. You are, eh? Well, I'll show you.Copy !req
80. Do you think I'm gonna give up
because you can't find me a girl?Copy !req
81. I'm going to make
the greatest picture in the world.Copy !req
82. Something that nobody's
ever seen or heard of.Copy !req
83. They'll have to think up a lot
of new adjectives when I come back.Copy !req
84. - Where you going?
- Going out...Copy !req
85. and get a girl for my picture.
Even if I have to marry one.Copy !req
86. - Stand aside, please. Get your case later.
Can I take my things?Copy !req
87. Say, lay off the shoving, will you?Copy !req
88. I didn't mean to shove you. Excuse me.Copy !req
89. What do they give you in this joint?Copy !req
90. Soup tonight. Coffee and sinkers
in the morning.Copy !req
91. I catch you, you stealer.
Now, I get you cop. You like that, huh?Copy !req
92. No, no. I didn't. Let me go.
I wanted to, but I didn't.Copy !req
93. - Had enough of these stealers.
- Dry up. Kid didn't take any.Copy !req
94. - Truly I didn't.
- Three people this week—Copy !req
95. - Here— Here's a buck.
- A buck?Copy !req
96. Scram.Copy !req
97. Hey, taxi!Copy !req
98. Feeling better?Copy !req
99. Yes, thank you.Copy !req
100. - You're very kind.
- Don't you fool yourself.Copy !req
101. I'm not bothering
about you just out of kindness.Copy !req
102. - How'd you ever get into this fix?
- Bad luck, I guess.Copy !req
103. There are a lot of girls like me.Copy !req
104. - Not many with your looks.
- I can get by in good clothes all right.Copy !req
105. - But when a girl gets too shabby—
- No family?Copy !req
106. Supposed to have an uncle someplace.Copy !req
107. Did you ever do any acting?Copy !req
108. I used to do extra work now and then
over on Long Island.Copy !req
109. The studio's closed now.Copy !req
110. - What's your name?
- Ann Darrow.Copy !req
111. Fine. I've got a job for you.Copy !req
112. Costumes on the ship will fit you.Copy !req
113. If the shops are still open,
I can get clothes for you.Copy !req
114. - Come on.
- But—Copy !req
115. - But what is it?
- It's money and adventure and fame.Copy !req
116. It's the thrill of a lifetime.
A long sea voyage...Copy !req
117. that starts at 6:00 tomorrow morning.Copy !req
118. No, wait. I—Copy !req
119. I don't understand. You must tell me.Copy !req
120. I do want the job so...Copy !req
121. - ... but I can't.
- Oh, I see.Copy !req
122. No, you've got me wrong.
This is strictly business.Copy !req
123. Well...Copy !req
124. - I only wanted—
- Sure. Sure you did.Copy !req
125. I got a little excited and I forgot
you didn't understand.Copy !req
126. Listen, I'm Carl Denham.
Ever hear of me?Copy !req
127. Yes, yes. You make moving pictures
in jungles and places.Copy !req
128. That's right. And I pick you
as lead in my next picture.Copy !req
129. We sail at 6.Copy !req
130. - Where to?
- A long way off.Copy !req
131. And listen, Ann, I'm on the level.
No funny business.Copy !req
132. - What do I have to do?
- Just trust me and keep your chin up.Copy !req
133. Hey, you men on that winch...Copy !req
134. down below on the deck
and help with these hatches.Copy !req
135. Hurry this line forward.Copy !req
136. Forward, you farmer and up here!Copy !req
137. What are you doing up here?Copy !req
138. - I just wanted to see.
- Oh, you just wanted to see.Copy !req
139. Well, I'm sorry. Make that line fast!Copy !req
140. You're that girl Denham
picked, aren't you?Copy !req
141. Yes. I think this is awfully exciting.
I've never been on a ship before.Copy !req
142. I've never been on one
with a woman before.Copy !req
143. I guess you don't think much
of women on ships?Copy !req
144. No, they're a nuisance.Copy !req
145. - I'll try not to be.
- You've been in the way already.Copy !req
146. Bring that ladder aboard!Copy !req
147. Well, you better stay below.Copy !req
148. What? The whole voyage?Copy !req
149. I'm afraid I didn't apologize
for hitting you.Copy !req
150. - That was a tough rap on the chin.
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
151. - Well, we're off.
- We're off.Copy !req
152. Say, how many potatoes do you think
you've peeled in six weeks?Copy !req
153. Too many.Copy !req
154. Sailors eat an awful lot, don't they?Copy !req
155. All time eat. Someday me go back China.Copy !req
156. Never see no more potatoes.Copy !req
157. - Charlie, isn't the ocean wonderful?
- Very pretty.Copy !req
158. Pretty soon you be all same sailor,
only no eat so much.Copy !req
159. I'd like to be. Only, of course,
it wasn't so nice up north...Copy !req
160. when it was cold and rough, was it?Copy !req
161. Ocean very nice when you order
weather or some eggs for breakfast.Copy !req
162. - Hello, Ann.
- Hello, Jack.Copy !req
163. Where you been all morning?Copy !req
164. Trying on costumes for Mr. Denham.Copy !req
165. He's gonna make some tests of me
here on deck...Copy !req
166. - ... if the light is right.
- Tests, why?Copy !req
167. Oh, to see which side of my face
looks best and all that.Copy !req
168. Both sides look all right to me.Copy !req
169. Yes, but you're not the movie director.Copy !req
170. If I was, you wouldn't be here.Copy !req
171. Well, is that a nice thing to say.Copy !req
172. This is no place for a girl.Copy !req
173. I wish you wouldn't keep harping
on that. It's very mean of you.Copy !req
174. Anybody would think
I'd been a lot of trouble.Copy !req
175. I haven't. You can't say I've been
one bit of trouble to anyone...Copy !req
176. have I?Copy !req
177. - Sure you have. Sure you have.
- I don't see—Copy !req
178. Well, how?Copy !req
179. Just— Just being around is trouble.Copy !req
180. Oh, dear, and I thought everything
was going so nicely.Copy !req
181. Oh, you're all right.Copy !req
182. But women just can't help
being a bother.Copy !req
183. - Made that way, I guess.
- Well, anyhow...Copy !req
184. I've had the happiest time
of my life on this old ship.Copy !req
185. That's— That's fine.Copy !req
186. Say...Copy !req
187. Did you really mean that, Ann?Copy !req
188. Of course. Everyone's so nice to me.
Mr. Denham and the skipper—Copy !req
189. Don't you think the skipper
is a sweet old lamb?Copy !req
190. I'd hate to have him hear me say that.Copy !req
191. Iggy's nice to me.Copy !req
192. Iggy likes me better than
he likes anybody on board.Copy !req
193. Don't you, Iggy?Copy !req
194. - That's right. Of course you do.
- Beauty and the beast, eh?Copy !req
195. Well, now, I never thought
I was good-looking.Copy !req
196. Ann, put on one of the costumes.
The light's right for those tests now.Copy !req
197. All right, Mr. Denham.
I won't be a minute.Copy !req
198. Beauty and the beast.Copy !req
199. - Mr. Denham...
- Hm?Copy !req
200. I'm gonna do some butting in.Copy !req
201. - What's your trouble?
- When do we find out...Copy !req
202. - ... where we're going?
- Pretty soon.Copy !req
203. Will you tell us what happens after?Copy !req
204. How can I? I'm not a fortuneteller.Copy !req
205. You must have
some idea what you're after.Copy !req
206. What's the matter, Jack, you going soft?Copy !req
207. Oh, you know I'm not. Not for myself.Copy !req
208. - For Ann.
- Oh, you have gone soft on her, eh?Copy !req
209. I've got enough troubles without
a love affair to complicate things.Copy !req
210. - Better cut it out, Jack.
- Love affair.Copy !req
211. - Think I'm gonna fall for any dame?
- I never knew it to fail.Copy !req
212. Some big hard-boiled egg gets
a look at a pretty face, bang...Copy !req
213. - ... he cracks up, gets sappy.
- Who's going sappy?Copy !req
214. I haven't run out on you?Copy !req
215. No. You're a pretty tough guy.Copy !req
216. But if beauty gets you, you—Copy !req
217. I'm going right into a theme song here.Copy !req
218. - Say, what are you talking about?
- It's the idea of my picture.Copy !req
219. The beast was a tough guy too.Copy !req
220. He could lick the world, but when
he saw beauty, she got him.Copy !req
221. He went soft, he forgot his wisdom
and the little fellas licked him.Copy !req
222. Think it over, Jack.Copy !req
223. Mr. Denham, skipper
wants you up on the bridge.Copy !req
224. - He says we've reached the position.
- Good.Copy !req
225. Come on, Jack. You're in on this.
I'm gonna spill it.Copy !req
226. There's our noon position.
Two south, 90 east.Copy !req
227. Now, you promised some information
when we got here.Copy !req
228. - Way west of Sumatra.
- And way out of any waters I know.Copy !req
229. I know the East Indies like
I do my own hand...Copy !req
230. - ... but I've never been here.
- Where do we go from here?Copy !req
231. - Southwest.
- Southwest?Copy !req
232. Well, there is nothing
for thousands of miles.Copy !req
233. Keep your shirt on, skipper.
We're not going thousands of miles.Copy !req
234. Here's the island we're looking for.Copy !req
235. Well, that position.
Let's have the big chart.Copy !req
236. You won't find that island on any chart.Copy !req
237. That was made by the skipper
of a Norwegian bark.Copy !req
238. - He must have been kidding.
- No, he wasn't.Copy !req
239. Listen, a canoe full of natives
from this island was blown to sea.Copy !req
240. When the bark picked them,
there was one alive.Copy !req
241. He died before they reached port,
not before the skipper...Copy !req
242. had a description of the island
and got an idea of where it lies.Copy !req
243. - Where did you get it?
- Singapore, two years ago.Copy !req
244. Skipper knew I'd be interested.Copy !req
245. - Does he believe it?
- I don't know. But I do.Copy !req
246. Here. Here's what the island looks like.Copy !req
247. There's a long, sandy peninsula.Copy !req
248. The only possible landing place
is through this reef.Copy !req
249. Rest of shoreline's sheer precipice,
hundreds of feet high.Copy !req
250. And across the base
of the peninsula, cutting it off...Copy !req
251. from the rest
of the island, is a wall.Copy !req
252. - A wall?
- Built long ago. People who lived there...Copy !req
253. slipped back, forgotten
the high civilization that built it.Copy !req
254. That wall is as strong today
as it was centuries ago.Copy !req
255. The natives keep that wall in repair.Copy !req
256. - They need it.
- Why?Copy !req
257. There's something on the other side
of it. Something they fear.Copy !req
258. A hostile tribe.Copy !req
259. Did you ever hear of Kong?Copy !req
260. Why, yes.Copy !req
261. Some native superstition, isn't it?
A god or a spirit or something.Copy !req
262. Well, anyway, neither beast nor man...Copy !req
263. something monstrous,
all-powerful.Copy !req
264. Still living...Copy !req
265. still holding that island
in a grip of deadly fear.Copy !req
266. Well, every legend has a basis of truth.Copy !req
267. I tell you, there's something on that
island that no white man has ever seen.Copy !req
268. You expect to photograph it?
- If it's there, you bet I'll photograph it.Copy !req
269. Suppose it doesn't like
having its picture taken?Copy !req
270. Well, now you know why I brought
along those cases of gas bombs.Copy !req
271. Oh, you've put on
a beauty-and-beast costume, eh?Copy !req
272. Mm-hm. It's the prettiest.Copy !req
273. All right. Just stand right over there.Copy !req
274. I'm sort of nervous.
Suppose I don't photograph well?Copy !req
275. You don't have to worry about that.
If I hadn't been sure...Copy !req
276. I wouldn't have brought you
around the world.Copy !req
277. - What will I do?
- Well, we start with the profile.Copy !req
278. When I start cranking...Copy !req
279. hold it a minute,
and then turn slowly toward me.Copy !req
280. You see me.
You smile a little, then you listen.Copy !req
281. Then you laugh. All right?Copy !req
282. Camera.Copy !req
283. - Looks kind of silly, don't it?
- Pretty dame, huh?Copy !req
284. You think maybe
he like to take my picture?Copy !req
285. Them cameras cost money.
Shouldn't think he'd risk it.Copy !req
286. Now, that's fine, Ann.
Now we'll try one with a filter, eh?Copy !req
287. Do you always take
the pictures yourself?Copy !req
288. Ever since a trip I made to Africa.Copy !req
289. I'd have got a swell picture
of a charging rhino...Copy !req
290. but the cameraman got scared.Copy !req
291. The darned fool.
I was right there with a rifle.Copy !req
292. Seems he didn't trust me to get the rhino
before it got him.Copy !req
293. I haven't fooled with a
cameramen since. I do it myself.Copy !req
294. - Think he's crazy, skipper?
- Just enthusiastic.Copy !req
295. Ann, in this one you're looking down.Copy !req
296. When I start to crank,
you look up slowly.Copy !req
297. You're quite calm.
You don't expect to see a thing.Copy !req
298. Then you just follow
my directions. All right?Copy !req
299. Camera. Look up slowly, Ann.Copy !req
300. That's it. You don't see anything.Copy !req
301. Now look higher...Copy !req
302. still higher.Copy !req
303. Now you see it. You're amazed.Copy !req
304. You can't believe it.
Your eyes open wider.Copy !req
305. It's horrible, Ann,
but you can't look away.Copy !req
306. There's no chance for you, Ann,
no escape.Copy !req
307. You're helpless, Ann, helpless.Copy !req
308. There's just one chance,
if you can scream...Copy !req
309. but your throat's paralyzed.
Try to scream, Ann, try.Copy !req
310. Perhaps if you didn't see it,
you could scream.Copy !req
311. Throw your arm across your eyes
and scream. Scream for your life.Copy !req
312. What's he think she's really gonna see?Copy !req
313. This infernal fog.
Sure of your position, skipper?Copy !req
314. Of course. Last night before this fog
shut down, I got a good sight.Copy !req
315. We should be near the island.Copy !req
316. If we don't see it
when this fog lifts, we never will.Copy !req
317. We've quartered these parts.Copy !req
318. Can't see your hand in front of your face.Copy !req
319. Hey, Charlie, I wish you'd make
your soup as thick as this.Copy !req
320. No bottom at 30.Copy !req
321. The Norwegian skipper must've
been guessing at the position.Copy !req
322. How will we know it's the right island?Copy !req
323. - The mountain that looks like a skull.
- Oh, yes, I'd forgotten. You told me.Copy !req
324. - Skull Mountain.
By the deep 20.Copy !req
325. Shallowing fast. Mr. Briggs, dead slow.Copy !req
326. Dead slow, sir.Copy !req
327. - Confound this fog.
By the deep 16.Copy !req
328. - What'd she draw, skipper?
- Four.Copy !req
329. Why don't he
heave to until it clears?Copy !req
330. 'Tain't the old man.
It's that crazy guy, Denham.Copy !req
331. Listen, you hear anything?Copy !req
332. No.Copy !req
333. Breakers ahead.
- Let go.Copy !req
334. That's not breakers. That's drums.Copy !req
335. Skipper, now the fog's lifted,
do you see anybody?Copy !req
336. - Not a living thing.
- Funny they haven't spotted us.Copy !req
337. I'd think the whole population
would be on the beach.Copy !req
338. Listen.Copy !req
339. Mm. Maybe they have spotted us
and are signaling.Copy !req
340. Well, skipper, do you believe me now?
There it is.Copy !req
341. Skull Mountain, the wall.Copy !req
342. Everything just like
on my funny little map.Copy !req
343. - Come on. Let's get started.
- All right.Copy !req
344. Twelve men go with you.
The rest stay aboard.Copy !req
345. Have you got a good man
with those gas bombs?Copy !req
346. Uh-huh.Copy !req
347. I think you better go along.Copy !req
348. You may be able to talk to these birds.Copy !req
349. All right. Mr. Adams.Copy !req
350. Aye, sir.Copy !req
351. - You'll take charge of the ship.
- Aye, aye, sir.Copy !req
352. - I'm going ashore with you, aren't I?
- You bet.Copy !req
353. I don't think she should go
until we know what's there.Copy !req
354. Wait a minute.
Who's running this show?Copy !req
355. I found out from experience to
keep my cast and cameras with me.Copy !req
356. You never can tell when you'll want them.Copy !req
357. - But you're crazy to risk—
- Jack...Copy !req
358. run along and get
the rifles and ammunition.Copy !req
359. And get me a couple of huskies
to carry my stuff.Copy !req
360. And, Jack, don't forget the costume box.Copy !req
361. If we're lucky enough,
we may get a swell shot right away.Copy !req
362. Come on, Ann.Copy !req
363. All right, boys, let's go.Copy !req
364. - Take it easy with that camera.
Okay.Copy !req
365. - Plenty of ammunition for those guns?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
366. Be careful with those bombs.Copy !req
367. All right, Briggs, now we'll get
a look at Denham's island.Copy !req
368. Stand by to lower away.Copy !req
369. You with the camera, stick close.Copy !req
370. - Okay.
- Who's got the bombs?Copy !req
371. - I have, sir.
- Watch your step.Copy !req
372. There's enough trichloride
to put hippos to sleep.Copy !req
373. Aye, aye, sir.Copy !req
374. - What queer-looking boats.
- Yeah, outrigger canoes.Copy !req
375. Driscoll, I want two men left here
to guard the boat.Copy !req
376. - All attended to, sir.
- Good.Copy !req
377. We all ready, then? Come on.Copy !req
378. Not a soul in sight.Copy !req
379. The people must all
be gathered up ahead.Copy !req
380. That wall, skipper.
What do you think of that?Copy !req
381. Colossal. It might almost be Egyptian.Copy !req
382. But what's on the other side
of that wall? I wanna know.Copy !req
383. Who do you suppose could have built it?Copy !req
384. Oh, I was up on Angkor once.Copy !req
385. That's bigger than this,
and nobody knows who built it.Copy !req
386. Oh, boy, what a chance.
What a picture.Copy !req
387. Come on.Copy !req
388. Hear that? They're saying, "Kong, Kong."Copy !req
389. Hope you talk their lingo, skipper.Copy !req
390. - You catch any words yet?
- I'm not sure.Copy !req
391. Sounds something like the language
Nias Islanders speak.Copy !req
392. What do you suppose is happening?Copy !req
393. They're up to some
of their heathen tricks.Copy !req
394. But don't go rushing out to sea.Copy !req
395. - All right. But isn't it exciting?
- Sure.Copy !req
396. - I wish we'd left you on the ship.
- Oh, I'm so glad you didn't.Copy !req
397. Wait. Easy, now.
Wait till I see what goes on.Copy !req
398. Holy mackerel! What a show.Copy !req
399. Hey, skipper, come here
and get a load of this.Copy !req
400. Did you ever see anything
like that before in your life?Copy !req
401. Boy, if I could only get
a picture before they see us.Copy !req
402. Hey, you with the camera. Come here.Copy !req
403. I wanna see.Copy !req
404. Come on, but be careful.Copy !req
405. - Too late. They see us.
- Let's— Let's beat it.Copy !req
406. - Hey, what are you running for?
- No use trying to hide now.Copy !req
407. Everybody come out in plain sight.Copy !req
408. - Say, let's scram out of here.
- Stand still, you fool.Copy !req
409. Steady, boys. Bluff them.Copy !req
410. Come on, skipper.
Make him a friendly speech.Copy !req
411. He understands you, skipper.
What's he say?Copy !req
412. - He's telling us to get out.
- Well, talk him out of it.Copy !req
413. Ask him what goes on.Copy !req
414. He says the girl there
is the bride of Kong.Copy !req
415. Great. Find out what they're gonna do.Copy !req
416. - What's that?
- He must be the witch doctor.Copy !req
417. He says the ceremony is spoiled
because we've seen it.Copy !req
418. Well, calm the old boy down.
What's the word for friend?Copy !req
419. Steady with those rifles, boys.Copy !req
420. - What's that?
- He says, look at the golden woman.Copy !req
421. Yeah. Blonds are scarce around here.Copy !req
422. - A gift for Kong, he says.
- Good Lord!Copy !req
423. Wants to buy her.Copy !req
424. He's offering to trade
six of his women for Ann.Copy !req
425. You got her into this, Denham.Copy !req
426. I'm gonna take her back to the ship.Copy !req
427. We'd better get out of here
before they think to cut us off.Copy !req
428. Guess so. But tell him we'll be back
tomorrow to make friends.Copy !req
429. Get going, Ann. Don't be scared.
Everything's all right.Copy !req
430. Smile, Ann, and talk to Jack.Copy !req
431. Keep your chin up.Copy !req
432. - Say, why aren't you in bed?
- Oh, I can't sleep.Copy !req
433. The sound of those drums
makes me nervous, I guess.Copy !req
434. I think Denham's off his nut
taking you ashore today.Copy !req
435. Well, I was a little scared.Copy !req
436. - I guess you weren't the only one.
- I wonder what we do next.Copy !req
437. That's just what's worrying me.Copy !req
438. Denham's a fool,
there's no telling what he might...Copy !req
439. ask you to do for this picture.Copy !req
440. After all he's done,
I would take any chance for him.Copy !req
441. Don't talk like that.Copy !req
442. I'd say he's crazy enough to try anything.Copy !req
443. Well, I won't go back on him.Copy !req
444. When I think what might've happened
today, if anything had happened to you—Copy !req
445. You wouldn't be bothered
having a woman on board.Copy !req
446. Don't laugh. I'm scared for you.Copy !req
447. I'm sort of— Well, I'm scared of you too.Copy !req
448. Ann, uh...Copy !req
449. I...Copy !req
450. Uh...Copy !req
451. Say...Copy !req
452. I guess I love you.Copy !req
453. Why, Jack, you hate women.Copy !req
454. Yeah, I know. But you aren't women.Copy !req
455. Say, Ann...Copy !req
456. I don't suppose—Copy !req
457. I mean...Copy !req
458. Well, you don't feel anything
like that about me...Copy !req
459. do you?Copy !req
460. Mr. Driscoll, are you on deck?Copy !req
461. Yes, sir.Copy !req
462. Will you please come up on the bridge?Copy !req
463. You go on. I'll wait here.Copy !req
464. Yes, sir.Copy !req
465. There, that's about it.Copy !req
466. We'll make absolutely sure
tomorrow noon.Copy !req
467. Oh, must be almost midnight.Copy !req
468. Hey.Copy !req
469. Look at that.Copy !req
470. Torches going through the village.Copy !req
471. Yeah, looks like the night before election.Copy !req
472. Listen to them. Wonder what's up.Copy !req
473. Wish I could
take pictures by firelight.Copy !req
474. - I'd sneak ashore and get a scene now.
- Oh, be sensible.Copy !req
475. We're lucky to be all safe aboard tonight.Copy !req
476. Yeah, I guess so.Copy !req
477. - Charlie, have you seen missy?
- Me no see one, two hours.Copy !req
478. When we leave this place? Me no like.Copy !req
479. Ann.Copy !req

481. Everybody on deck! All hands on deck!Copy !req
482. Everybody on deck! Everybody on deck!Copy !req

484. What's the matter?
I'm out here.Copy !req
485. Look, sir. Me find on deck.Copy !req
486. - A native bracelet.
- Crazy black man been here.Copy !req
487. What is it? Who turned out the crew?Copy !req
488. - Look at this. Someone's been aboard.
- Where's Ann?Copy !req
489. - In her cabin.
- No, she isn't. I just looked.Copy !req
490. What's the matter, Mr. Driscoll?
- Search the ship. Find Miss Darrow.Copy !req
491. Aye, aye.Copy !req
492. - Ann. Oh, Ann. Did you see her?
- No.Copy !req
493. I'll look below.Copy !req
494. - Did you find her?
- Can't find her forward.Copy !req
495. - She's not below.
- Can't find her aft.Copy !req
496. Ann's gone!Copy !req
497. Serve out the rifles. Man the boats.Copy !req
498. Take this ammunition up there.Copy !req
499. Come on, you fellas. Grab these guns.Copy !req
500. Take these bomb cases

501. Pass those rifles up over the side.Copy !req
502. Start packing those bombs.Copy !req
503. Me likey go too. Me likey catch missy.Copy !req
504. This is no job for a cook.
Get out of here. Come on.Copy !req

We're going over the side.Copy !req
506. Give way, gentlemen.
Right over there.Copy !req
507. They've taken Ann.Copy !req
508. Hurry. Hurry up.
She must be up ahead here.Copy !req
509. - Come on, men.
- Come on, boys.Copy !req
510. Has anybody seen her? Come on.Copy !req

516. - Who's going with me?
- I'll go.Copy !req
517. You stay with half the men
and guard the gate.Copy !req
518. - Don't let them close it.
We'll take care of it.Copy !req
519. No telling which way
he went in this darkness.Copy !req
520. He's been through here.Copy !req
521. - Look at these broken branches.
- Yeah, look at that. Keep up, fellas.Copy !req
522. It ought to be sunup about now.Copy !req
523. Yeah, just listen to those birds.Copy !req

529. Come on, fellas, and keep
those guns cocked.Copy !req
530. He's telling us. Hate to have

546. Dinosaur, eh?Copy !req
547. Yes, Jack...Copy !req
548. a prehistoric beast.Copy !req
549. Say, just look at the length of that brute.Copy !req
550. If I could only bring back
one of these alive.Copy !req
551. Watch that tail! He's still alive.

552. He's through. Come on.Copy !req
553. Come on, men.Copy !req
554. Boy, one swipe of that.Copy !req

556. That's him, boys. Come on.Copy !req
557. Here. Here's his mark again.Copy !req
558. There's water ahead.
- He's down in that fog somewhere.Copy !req
559. Yes, that's him splashing through.
Come on.Copy !req
560. Be careful.Copy !req
561. Now, watch the step-off, boys.Copy !req
562. Must have swum across.Copy !req
563. Yeah, it'll be tough for us
with these guns and bombs.Copy !req
564. - What about these logs for a raft?
- Good idea.Copy !req
565. Come on, fellas. Get busy.Copy !req
566. Put those guns down
on the bank and get going.Copy !req
567. Move!Copy !req

569. All set, everybody?Copy !req
570. Shove off!Copy !req
571. - Hear anything?

575. What was it?Copy !req
576. Hang on, men.Copy !req
577. Look out. Here he comes.Copy !req
578. Come on.Copy !req
579. Come on.Copy !req
580. Hey, Jack. Jack Driscoll.Copy !req
581. - Hey, Jack.
- Denham.Copy !req
582. - It didn't get you, huh?
- No, I got to cover, same as you.Copy !req
583. - Think we're safe?
- There are only two of us...Copy !req
584. - ... left alive to save her.
- I can't get across now.Copy !req
585. Don't want you to.
Lam back and get more bombs.Copy !req
586. Why, you wouldn't follow
that beast alone.Copy !req
587. Someone's gotta stay on his trail.Copy !req
588. Maybe I'll get a chance, sneak her away.Copy !req
589. I'll figure a way to signal you
where he's taken her.Copy !req
590. - I guess that's our only out.
- Sure it is. Get going.Copy !req
591. Don't get killed till you see Englehorn.Copy !req
592. Okay, Jack. Good luck.Copy !req
593. Skipper, this Kong
is the biggest thing in the world.Copy !req
594. He shook those men off that log
like they were flies.Copy !req
595. All those men lost. It's incredible.Copy !req
596. Driscoll said he'd try and signal us
if he found Ann.Copy !req
597. - We'll never see them again.
- Don't give up.Copy !req
598. - There's a chance for Driscoll.
- Wait till daylight.Copy !req
599. We'll bridge the ravine.
Where's that case of bombs?Copy !req
600. - Here, sir.
- This—Copy !req
601. This monster you've seen,
you think your bombs will stop him?Copy !req
602. If we can get close enough
to use them, you bet they'll stop him.Copy !req
603. - Had any trouble with the natives?
- Yes, after you left.Copy !req
604. - What happened?
- We fired volleys over...Copy !req
605. their heads. They ran like rabbits.Copy !req
606. Gunpowder's new in their lives?Copy !req
607. - They're terrified.
- They haven't shown up since.Copy !req
608. Take a man on the wall,
keep your eyes peeled.Copy !req
609. We leave at dawn,
if we get a signal or not.Copy !req
610. Yes, sir.Copy !req
611. Oh.Copy !req
612. Oh! Oh!Copy !req
613. Hey, look.Copy !req
614. Oh!Copy !req
615. Hey, below, Mr. Denham.
Captain Englehorn.Copy !req
616. Mr. Driscoll and the lady,
they're coming back.Copy !req
617. Come on, fellas.Copy !req
618. Are you both all right?Copy !req
619. Pint, Jack. Here.Copy !req
620. I'm all right.Copy !req
621. What happened? How did you do it?Copy !req
622. - Came down the river.
- Oh, Jack.Copy !req
623. There, there, you're safe now.Copy !req
624. We'll have you back on the ship
in no time.Copy !req
625. Wait a minute. What about Kong?Copy !req
626. Well, what about him?Copy !req
627. We came to get a movie,
and we found something worth...Copy !req
628. - ... more than all the movies in the world.
- What?Copy !req
629. We've got those gas bombs.Copy !req
630. - If we can capture him alive—
- Why, you're crazy.Copy !req
631. He's on a cliff where a whole army...Copy !req
632. - ... couldn't get at him.
- Yeah, if he stays there...Copy !req
633. but we've got something he wants.Copy !req
634. Yeah, something he won't get again.Copy !req
635. Hey, look out. It's Kong. Kong's coming.Copy !req
636. Come around. Come here
and hold the gates. Quick.Copy !req
637. - Denham, the natives are coming.
- Good work. Come on.Copy !req
638. Hey, come back with those bombs, you—Copy !req
639. Come on. Come on. I got him.Copy !req
640. He'll be out for hours. Send to the ship.Copy !req
641. - For anchor chains and tools.
- What will you do?Copy !req
642. A raft to float him to the ship.
The whole world will pay to see this.Copy !req
643. - No chains will hold that.
- We'll give him more than chains.Copy !req
644. He's always been king of his world,
but we'll teach him fear.Copy !req
645. We're millionaires, boys.
I'll share it with all of you.Copy !req
646. In a few months,
it'll be up in lights on Broadway:Copy !req
647. "Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World."Copy !req
648. Say, what's Denham got anyway?Copy !req
649. It better be good after all this ballyhoo.Copy !req
650. Heavens, what a mob.Copy !req
651. Well, you would come.
These tickets cost me 20 bucks.Copy !req
652. I can't sit so near the screen.
It hurts my eyes.Copy !req
653. This is not a moving picture, madam.Copy !req
654. What? Mr. Denham
makes those pictures...Copy !req
655. of those darling monkeys
and tigers and things.Copy !req
656. This is in the nature
of a personal appearance.Copy !req
657. Well, I never. I thought
I was gonna see something.Copy !req
658. - Say, what is it anyhow?
I hear it's a kind of a gorilla.Copy !req
659. Gee, ain't we got enough
of them in New York?Copy !req
660. I don't like to look at him.Copy !req
661. It makes me think
of that awful day on the island.Copy !req
662. I wouldn't have brought you,
but you know how Denham insisted.Copy !req
663. We had to come
when he said it would help the show.Copy !req
664. Do you think we'll make a lot of money?Copy !req
665. Well, enough to pay him back
for these clothes anyway.Copy !req
666. It's the first time I ever had on
one of these open-front suits.Copy !req
667. Hello, there. Just in time.
Gee, Ann, you look great.Copy !req
668. I'm glad I dressed you up for this show.
Well, Jack, $10,000 in the box office.Copy !req
669. - Not bad for one night.
- That's a lot of money.Copy !req
670. We're gonna do that every night.Copy !req
671. - Look at the size of that.
- I hope he's tied up tight.Copy !req
672. Sure he is. Denham's taking no chances.Copy !req
673. Here are the press. Come in, boys.Copy !req
674. - This is Ms. Darrow and Mr. Driscoll.
How do you do?Copy !req
675. Mr. Driscoll saved you from the ape?Copy !req
676. Yes. He was alone too.
All the sailors with him had been killed.Copy !req
677. - How did you ever tackle that baby?
- Well, Mr. Denham got him.Copy !req
678. The rest of us were running scared.Copy !req
679. He had the nerve
to stand there and chuck bombs.Copy !req
680. Oh, so you're the hero.
Come on, give us a story.Copy !req
681. Here now, wait a minute.
Lay off me, boys.Copy !req
682. Miss Darrow is the story.
If it hadn't been for her...Copy !req
683. we couldn't have gotten near Kong.
He followed her.Copy !req
684. - Beauty and the beast, huh?
- That's it.Copy !req
685. Play up that angle, beauty and the beast.Copy !req
686. Kong could have stayed safe...Copy !req
687. but he couldn't stay away from beauty.Copy !req
688. - That's your story, boys.
- That's a lead story, all right.Copy !req
689. - How about a few pictures?
Just a minute.Copy !req
690. Come on the stage. Take pictures
in front of the audience.Copy !req
691. I'll make a speech and tell them
about Kong, Darrow...Copy !req
692. Driscoll. When I call you,
come take pictures.Copy !req
693. Okay.
- That's fine.Copy !req
694. Stand by when I call you.Copy !req
695. Now, now, it's all right.Copy !req
696. We've knocked some of the fight
out of him since you saw him.Copy !req
697. Ladies and gentlemen, I am here tonight
to tell you a very strange story.Copy !req
698. A story so strange that no one
will believe it.Copy !req
699. But, ladies and gentlemen,
seeing is believing...Copy !req
700. and we, my partners and I...Copy !req
701. have brought back the living proof
of our adventure...Copy !req
702. an adventure in which 12
of our party met horrible deaths.Copy !req
703. And now, ladies and gentlemen,
before I tell you any more...Copy !req
704. I am going to show you
the greatest thing your eyes ever beheld.Copy !req
705. He was a king and a god
in the world he knew...Copy !req
706. but now he comes to civilization
merely a captive...Copy !req
707. a show to gratify your curiosity.Copy !req
708. Ladies and gentlemen, look at Kong.Copy !req
709. The Eighth Wonder of the World.Copy !req
710. And now I want to introduce
Miss Ann Darrow...Copy !req
711. the bravest girl I have ever known.Copy !req
712. There the beast and here the beauty.Copy !req
713. She has lived through an experience
no other woman ever dreamed of.Copy !req
714. And she was saved from the very grasp
of Kong by her future husband.Copy !req
715. I want you to meet a very brave gentleman,
Mr. John Driscoll.Copy !req
716. And now before I tell you
the full story of our voyage...Copy !req
717. I will ask the gentlemen
of the press to come forward...Copy !req
718. so that the audience may see them
take the first photographs...Copy !req
719. of Kong and his captors.Copy !req
720. All right, boys.Copy !req
721. Miss Darrow first, alone.
Stand in front of Kong, Ann.Copy !req
722. - All set? Make it a good one.
- Okay.Copy !req
723. Shoot.Copy !req
724. Don't be alarmed. Those chains
are made of chrome steel.Copy !req
725. - It's all right, Ann.
- Get them together, boys.Copy !req
726. - They're going to be married tomorrow.
- Put your arm around her, Driscoll.Copy !req
727. Wait a minute. Hold on.Copy !req
728. - He thinks you're attacking the girl.
- All the roaring, swell picture.Copy !req
729. Come on, it's loose!Copy !req
730. Send the riot squad and ambulances.
Kong has escaped.Copy !req
