Kong: Skull Island Page #4

What?

These people live up in

the top of the trees,

while we are down in the roots.

Some of them don't even seem to age.

No crime...

No personal property.

They're past all that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So Good news.

They say you can shack up here.

I didn't hear them say anything.

They don't speak too much.

been here as I long as I have,

you will start to understand, you'll see.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

We can not stay here.

We have to get off the island.

We have lives.

I have a life.

Nieves now is not the time. Alright?

What lands here tends to stay here.

As far as I can tell...

this ship washed up about 10 years

before I did.

You've been here since '44?

Yeah

And What happened with the war? Do we win?

Which one?

That Makes sense.

This is all halo ground to them.

So if you like your hands,

don't touch anything.

Look at that.

P s a g m e n o .com

The way they tell it,

for thousands of years...

the people of this island lived out of fear

It's hell of a long time to be scared.

And then one day,

the damnest thing happened.

Some of the things they were afraid of...

Started protecting against the things

that were eating them.

But nothing lasts forever, I guess.

And this is where they honor

the last of their saviors.

Yeah.

That's Kong.

He is king down here.

He is God to these people.

Kong is a pretty good king.

he's to himself mostly

This is him home. We are just guests here.

But you don't go into someone's house

and start dropping bombs...

unless you're picking a fight.

Was it Kong the one who killed your friend?

No.

One of them did.

Kong is God on the island...

but the devils live below us.

And what are they called?

The Iwis won't speak their name.

But I call skull crawlers.

Why?

Cause it's sounds unique.

Okay.

I just made that name up.

I am trying to scare you.

I'm trying calling them that.

- Are you feeling it?

- Yes...

- I like the name...

- It's very good.

I never said the name out loud,

Before It sounds stupid

now that I say just..

You Call them whatever you want.

Big lizard things. Nasty.

They come from the vents.

Deep down.

That's why Kong got so mad.

Cause bombs woke up a bunch of them.

I tell you what, you're luckey.

He's out there too

or you would not have made it this far.

Like crappy basterds. Neat as hell.

He can handle those...

You don't want to wake up the big one.

- How big is it?

- It's bigger than...

The White daughter's whole family.

Kong is the last of its kind

but he's still growing.

And you better hope he does.

Because the Iwis say once Kong goes...

Then the big one comes out.

And it's good night Irene.

Listen, There is a refueling team...

coming to the north end of the island

in three days.

You should come with us.

At the north end of the island?

We're gonna get out of here.

- In three days?

- Yes.

We can't get to the north end in three days.

It is impossible. That's it. No way.

At least not on our foot

That is one ugly ass bird.

Dear Billy...

this place is hell.

The monsters exists.

Under beds they sign to pay checks

- Come on, man.

- It seems like...

Maybe he want's to go kill that ape

instead of get ourselves out of here?

Yeah!

Are we gonna make it?

- Where?

- At the ex fil!

We getta be there in three days!

We'll make it, we're gonna make it.

Yeah, Cole but what happened to Chapman...?

Colonel said he is there.

he's there.

We were this close...

to get it working.

Gunpei and we're gonna take off

to the open sea trying to get home.

And one of that things got him.

There she is.

Well that's lovely.

Damn right.

Is this thing even float?

Me and Gunpei spent six years of our lives

to buliding this thing.

It is called the Great Fox.

And she floats.

I pulled the engine parts from my P-51...

His old Zero.

On a B-29 on the beach

one day out or something.

You gotta be kidding me.

This machine is made out of pure tetanus.

I know she isn't pretty to look at...

but it's nothing a couple

of extra hands can fix it.

Unless you got a better idea,

I suggest we get craking

Alright.

Come on, get up!

Well, look at that.

he Bleeds.

We did that.

We hook up with Chapman...

There is enough munition

on that down Sea Stallion...

to finish the job.

Magnificent.

You know why I carry

this instead of an M-16?

I took it off a farmer

who fight for the NVA.

He surrendered right after

we levelled his village.

He was 50 years old.

Saying that he haven't see a gun

till we showed up.

Sometimes, the enemy does not exist...

until you are looking for one.

What happens

when they show up on your door step?

I still have his gun.

Best of luck with that, soldier.

Okay. So they have got 48 hours

to make it to the North Shore.

Slivko, did you get to any back there?

Yeah, pop's a mechanic.

I can't fix this, he'll disown me.

He never sees me again.

Hold up on that, Churchill.

Russia was our ally.

Now You say we're at war with them?

It is more of a cold war.

The Cold War like...

That they take the summers off?

What about the Cubs?

The cubs owned a world series yet?

The Cubs?

No, not even close.

Were they ever good?

That must be my team. Where are you from?

- Detroit.

- Okay.

The tigers there.

They win all this year?

- I do not know.

- I doubt it. Yeah.

Hey, what do you think will win a fight?

A tiger or a Cub?

A tiger will win.

Yeah, because the puppies are babies.

A full grown tiger can eat a baby.

Think it through.

We also put a man on the moon.

No kidding

What did they do? Just leave him out there?

What's he eating?

Tang.

Come on, we are loosing.

Fox leader. this is Chapman, over.

Fox leader. this is Chapman, over.

Dear Billy...

Sometimes life just punch you in the balls

Dammit.

What kind of music is that?

What happened to swing?

Benny Goodman?

You're like a time traveler man.

Telling you, this is the new sound.

WRIGLEY FIELD HOME OF CHICAGO CUBS

I do not know if I'm gonna like

whoever is under this beard.

I really hope that thing you call a boat

can get us upriver in 36 hours.

Because if we miss that window...

We are rather literally off the grid.

When I first wrote that paper

on the Hollow Earth theory...

All committee laughed out loud

Not Randa.

The one guy in the crowd

who actually took me seriously.

It felt good.

Then I thought he was crazy

when he said these monsters.

I can't tell when I am talking...

- Or when I am not talking.

- You are talking.

- Really?

- Yes.

- I'm talking?

- Yes.

Your mouth is moving

What?

I'm gonna stab you for the end of the night.

Really?

Just kidding.

If the boat does not work,

we just take the train.

Is not it odd, most dangerous places,

aurora is the most beautiful?

I'm trying to take a

long exposure photograph

but my flashlight broke

Try this.

Thank you.

- Royal Air Force?

- My father's.

He threw it to me from the train

as he rolled off to fight with the Nazis.

It was like John Wayne to me.
