King Kong Page #4

OK.

Hey, Kong? Why are you waking up

all these people?

No one's going to hurt you.

You're just going to be a star.

Don't flood the tank! She fell in.

You could've...

Jack! I'm so glad to see you.

-What is it? You're not dressed.

-That's right.

I was wrong when I called this

thing a farce, it's a tragedy.

-I'm quitting your circus, Fred.

-You signed a contract.

-You took an advance.

-I donated it in your name.

To the SPCA Fund for Sending

Kong Home. Here's your receipt.

-Sue me.

-Don't leave me tonight, please.

-My horoscope says...

-Shut up. I love you.

Come with me right now.

The hell with the contract.

Go ahead. But I promise you

you'll never get another booking.

You'll end up tap-dancing

at rotary clubs.

-Don't you understand?

-Yeah...

I do. Sorry.

Stay well.

Ladies and gentIemen

of our TV-satellite audience, -

-you are seeing this

Iive around the worId-

-as it is happening

here in New York City.

You have better seats than these

Iucky King Kong contest winners.

Thus, Beauty set foot on the

forbidden island and was seized.

Great was the fear

as Beauty was lashed -

-to the dreadful bridal altar

of the Beast.

Now the earth booms.

Kong's power!

Superpower!

Hail the power!

That's the power of Kong,

and Petrox!

No! Don't push her around!

Ladies and gentlemen,

there is nothing to fear!

That is an escape-proof cage

certified by the city government.

Come on out! Easy.

His feet are still chained.

It's all right. Come on.

We're in position.

The Queensboro Bridge is buttoned

up. What's the situation at Brooklyn?

I"II teII that monkey to spread

before he crosses it.

Come on, there's a train coming.

Hit the lights.

This is a message to aII traffic.

CIear aII streets.

Proceed to sheIters.

Repeating:
CIear aII streets. Any

person found Iooting wiII be shot.

Keep running.

Jack! Buy me a drink, will you?

Come on, buy me a drink.

Ten more blocks and we've got

the key to a great apartment.

We've put a river between us.

The bridges are mined, and apes

don't swim. Your book says so.

Please, buy me a drink.

Buy me a drink over there.

OK.

What's the matter?

Dj vu. I don't know where,

but I've seen this view before.

Here.

We don't want to get shot as looters.

OK, get smashed.

How about that nice offer

you made me? Do you still want me?

Look, chinchilla.

Looks great on you.

I asked you a question.

-You know what I earn?

-Do you think I need furs?

Yes. Excitement is in your blood

like dope.

You're going to need new fixes

I'm not able to give you.

Don't be stupid.

It's OK.

Probably some National Guardsman

ran his tank into a powerhouse.

Do you remember that black-out?

And all the babies born

exactly nine months later?

Well, here's to all the future

sons and daughters of King Kong.

I'll drink to that.

The hell with furs. Tell me,

does that nice offer still stand?

It depends on Kong. He's bigger

than both of us, know what I mean?

Don't tease me, I'm serious.

Of course. I know

where I've seen that view before.

I think we've got a chance. Sit tight,

I've got to make a phone call.

Keep it down, everyone.

What do you think?

Is he flipped out or not?

Hello? Hello...

Excuse me, Professor. You say

you know where Kong is headed.

Yes.

You can trap him without danger.

Get some helicopters and

blasting nets on top of him.

No problem. Where is he headed,

Professor Prescott?

Promise me to capture him

without injury and I'll tell you.

-Do we have a deal?

-Yes, Professor.

Where is Kong heading?

A place in Manhattan that looks

exactly like his natural habitat.

Let him climb to the top of

the World Trade Center.

Jack!

He's coming down Fifth Avenue

on schedule.

The power is back on.

Keep quiet, get in the shadows.

No.

Hold on! Close your eyes!

The helicopters are coming

to net him!

Hold on!

Kong...

What are those men doing up there?

Didn't they get my orders?

The rotten bastards!

He's still got the girl. Follow me

in a tight holding pattern.

No! Don't put me down.

Hold on to me.

Hold on to me, or they'll kill you.

Now!

Oh, God.

Wait.

Hold on to me.

Please don't let me go.

Don't kill him!

Don't kill him!

A**holes!

Kong.

Dwan!

Jack!

Jack!
