King Kong quotes
Page 4 of 5Good things never last, Mr. Denham.
I'm not gonna let 'em kill my film!
Isn't it obvious?
It wasn't the airplanes. It was Beauty killed the Beast.
It's beautiful. Beautiful. Beau-ti-ful.
Just as you go down for the third and final time, as your head disappears beneath the waves, and your lungs fill with water, do you know what happens in those last precious seconds before you drown? Your whole life passes before your eyes... and if you've lived as a true American, you get to watch it all in color.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Kong, THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD!

Thank you... for saving my life.
