## Dialogue

    Reporter: If I don't get a story I'll lose my job.
    Carl Denham: Alright, tell 'em this: Carl Denham, the boy who was gonna make a million dollars off King Kong, is flat broke.
    Helstrom: [sees Denham and Englehorn sitting in a Dakang bar] Carl Denham! Don't you remember me? Nils Helstrom.
    Carl Denham: Why, for the love of Mike. Helstrom! Sure I remember you! [indicates Englhorn] Oh, this is Captain Englehorn. Captain Helstrom.
    [Englehorn and Helstrom shake hands]
    Carl Denham: Sit down. [to Englehorn] Say, do you know who this is? The man who gave me the map of Kong's Island. And he wants to know if I remember him? [laughs] Have a drink.
    [pours Helstrom a drink]
    Helstrom: [to Englehorn] So, that was your ship came in last night?
    Englehorn: Mine and Denham's.
    Helstrom: [to Denham] I heard about you in Singapore. How you had captured the biggest animal on earth and taken him back to New York.
    Helstrom: Yeah, you're broke too.
    Carl Denham: Broke? [chuckles] I'm shattered.
    Red: [after hearing about the last trip to Kong's island] He expect us to go ashore?
    Helstrom: Sure. He's got to have a bodyguard, hasn't he? Say, you know there were a dozen sailors killed on the last voyage he made here?
    Red: Killed? By them animals?
    Helstrom: Yeah. But, you see Denham and the Skipper came out all right. Ah, but you don't have to worry. There are plenty of rifles aboard. If I were captain, I certainly wouldn't take my crew into danger.
    Carl Denham: If you want me to, I'll give Helstrom a tip that he's too thick with the crew.
    Englehorn: Go ahead. It's bad for discipline.
    Carl Denham: [sees Charlie leading a procession of the crew] Ha. We must be in Russia. Here comes the Committee of the Workers.
    Charlie: Captain Englehorn!
    Englehorn: Well?
    Charlie: Captain, I went down in the forward hold.
    Englehorn: What of it?
    Charlie: Captain, I found something!
    Englehorn: What's the matter? Found what?
    Carl Denham: [sees Charlie reach into the crowd of sailors and pull out Hilda, who was stowing away in the forward hold] Holy mackerel!
    Hilda: Tony, won't you please come down? Tony? Tony?
    Carl Denham: You'll never catch a monkey that way.
    Hilda: Did you ever catch a monkey?
    Carl Denham: Did I ever catch...? [dry chuckle] Lady, you'd be surprised.
    Carl Denham: Skipper, believe it or not, there's a little Kong!
    Englehorn: What? A little K -... How little?
    Carl Denham: Well, just a little one... about twelve feet high.
