Hindenberg Announcer
[first lines]
Attention. Please prepare for docking procedure.
Police Sergeant
They've broken through the perimeter. Send reinforcements... send everything you've got!
British Officer
Commander, we've lost power to the forward rotors. We're losing altitude.
All engines, reverse full. Get us out of here.
Francesca, you've got to get me on that island.
I'm not about to risk the lives of my men for one of your silly antics.
He's got Dex.
[Franky is shocked]
Rescind order! You´ll never make it from the air. We have to find you another way.
There's a tidal flow on the eastern face of the island.
It's too deep. We're not rated past 100 meters. But... this area here, there's an undersea inlet at the southern tip and it runs beneath the entire length of the island. That is your only way in. Everything else is sheer rock to the edge of the water.
What about those machines? How do we get past them?
Leave that to me. Alert the amphibious squadron!
Reconnaissance located an island three kilometers northeast of our current position. It is not, however, on any of our charts.
That has to be him.
That has to be who? What have you gotten me into this time, Joseph?
Nothing you can't handle, Franky. [Polly trips and slams her hand into some controls, causing sirens to go off] Polly, try not to touch anything.
You're all clear. Good luck, Joe.
Thank you, Franky. We'll take it from here.
She's some kind of girl.
Yes, I know. I'm taking us up.
Captain Francesca Cook
Joseph Sullivan, I was sure you'd be dead by bow.
It's good to see you too, Franky.
This had better be important or one of us is in trouble.
It's important.
What is that? [watching Polly trying to climb off the wing of the plane]
You be nice. Commander Cook, meet Polly Perkins.
Polly Perkins, I've heard so much about you. It's a pleasure to finally meet the competition. It's been a long time since Nanjing, hasn't it, Joseph?
Dr. Totenkopf Who dares come before me? Who dares enter this place? What has begun cannot be stopped. The time for this world is over.
Totenkopf.
Hello, doctor. Why are you doing this?
Dr. Totenkopf I have been witness to a world consumed by hatred and bent on self-destruction, watched as we have taken what was to be a paradise. and failed in our responsibilities as its steward. I know now that the course of the human race has set for itself and cannot be changed. I am the last desperate chance for a doomed planet. Now, leave this place or die!
[Dexter unplugs the Tesla coils that previously electrocuted Dr. Kessler]
Is it safe?
Well, there's only one way to find out.
[Sky Captain and Polly cross the threshold together and are relieved to be unharmed]
I meant throw something.
Editor Paley I don't like this business you're getting yourself into.
I'll be just fine, Mr. Paley. You know what a careful girl I am.
Editor Paley I move my mouth, words come out, you don't hear.
I'm late for a movie. [smiles]
Editor Paley I don't like it when you smile at me.
You don't like my smile?
Editor Paley I don't like what's behind it! Listen, Polly, six scientists are missing, probably dead. Somebody out there means business. I don't want you in the middle of it.
It's only a movie, Mr. Paley. I'll bring you some popcorn.
Editor Paley What's going on? They're calling for midtown to evacuate.
Listen, Mr. Paley, I don't have time for this. I need you to dig up anything you can about a Dr. Walter Jennings, and someone named Totenkopf. An address, a phone number, anything you can. It's important.
Editor Paley Quick as you can. Polly, listen to me. I want you to get out of there. I want you to put the phone down, close your notepad and get the hell out of there.
[about the robots]
Wait a minute. I can see something now coming into sight above the Palisades. They're crossing Sixth Avenue... Fifth Avenue... they're a hundred yards away...
Editor Paley Polly, Polly!
Oh, my God.
Come in, Dex.
Look, what ever you do don't shoot!
Er... Okay!
You shot it, didn't you?
Yes.
I thought you said this thing was big? Can I have it?
You find out where it came from and I'll buy you one for Christmas.
It's a mobile airstrip. Dex has a hand in designing it. You can keep a secret, can't you, Polly?
[raising her camera to photograph it]
Yeah, I can keep a secret. [looks at her camera] Two shots. [doesn't take a picture]
