A wall...built so long ago that the people who live there have slipped back, forgotten the higher civilization that built it. That wall is as strong today as it was centuries ago. The natives keep that wall in repair. They need it.
There's something on the other side of it, something they fear.
C Captain
A hostile tribe.
Did you ever hear of...Kong?
C Captain
Why, yes. Some native superstition isn't it? A god or a spirit or something?
Well anyway, neither Beast nor man. Something monstrous. All powerful. Still living. Still holding that island in a grip of deadly fear. Well, every legend has a basis of truth. I tell you, there's something on that island that no white man has ever seen.
C Captain
And you expect to photograph it?
If it's there, you bet I'll photograph it.
Suppose it doesn't like having its picture taken?
Well, now you know why I brought along those cases of gas bombs.
Wait a minute. What about Kong?
We came here to get a moving picture, and we've found something worth more than all the movies in the world.
We've got those gas bombs. If we can capture him alive.
Why, you're crazy! Besides that, he's on a cliff where a whole army couldn't get at him.
Yeah, if he stays there. But we've got something he wants [looking at Ann].
Yep, something he won't get again.
Well, the whole world will pay to see this.
C Captain
No chains will ever hold that.
We'll give him more than chains. He's always been King of his world. But we'll teach him fear! We're millionaires, boys, I'll share it with all of you. Why, in a few months, it'll be up in lights on Broadway: 'Kong — the Eighth Wonder of the World!'
