Bruce Baxter What?!
You're the star of this picture, now get into character and hit toward the animals!
Bruce Baxter Are you sure about this, Denham? Don't we have a stand-in for this type of thing?
I need you in the shot or people will say they're fake.
Bruce Baxter Oh, nobody's gonna think these are fake!
Bruce Baxter 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 seein' ya.
Bruce Baxter What do you think, Driscoll? Dialogue's got some flow now, huh?
It was pure effluence.
Bruce Baxter I beefed up the banter.
Try to resist that impulse.
Bruce Baxter It's just a little bit of humor, bud. What are you, a Bolshevik or something? [leaves]
Who do you suppose could've built that wall?
Bruce Baxter I was up in Angkor once. That structure is bigger than this, and no one knows who constructed it.
Bruce Baxter What?!
You're the star of this picture. Get into character and head toward the animals!
Bruce Baxter Those animals are the least of our worries! We're after Miss Darrow, remember?
Look, will you do as you're told?
Bruce Baxter Well, if you insist...
Bruce, get this through your head. We're not leaving this island without Miss Darrow!
Bruce Baxter Then you can go and keep looking for her. Or you can stick with us as long as you don't hold us up. Either way, you probably won't get off this island alive.
You wanna know something, Bruce? I always knew you were nothing like the tough guy on the screen. I just never figured you for a coward.
Bruce Baxter Hey, pal. Hey, wake up. Heroes don't look like me, not in the real world. In the real world, they got clean teeth, a cowlick and a flat stomach. I'm just an actor with a gun, who's lost his motivation. Be seeing ya.
Here's your story, boys! "Beauty... and the man who saved her from the beast!" Take the pictures.
Oh no... [Kong begins to roar louder and thrashes around on the stage, still chained up.] We have to get these people out of here. [to the audience] Everyone needs to leave! Okay? He thinks that girl is a fake! Come on!
Bruce Baxter Denham, for once in your life, could you please tell that great big ape to be quiet?
Let him roar! It makes a swell picture. [Laughs]
Head for the exits!
Get your own seat, buddy! You're not having mine.
Bruce Baxter Excuse me, fellas. Coming through! Coming through, fellas!
Somebody!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!
Go! Go now!
