Carl Denham.
Mrs. Hudson! Mrs. Hudson!
Get out! I'll have you arrested.
That's my business...
Pretending to be the gas man.
- I'm supposed to...
- The very idea.
All right, Mr. Denham. It's only me.
I am sorry, Mr. Denham. He said he was
the gas man. Had a card and everything.
Listen, Mrs. Hudson,
as long as I am rooming in your house...
if your own father comes to the door,
don't you believe a word he says.
It's a pity the people in New York
don't try and catch a few gunmen...
instead of hunting
a nice gentleman like you.
Is Mrs. Hudson there?
Oh, ho. That's the lady in the front room.
- Oh.
- Coming.
I'm from the news.
Is that so? Well, I've got news for you:
You're going to get out
of this room so fast...
- No, I'm not.
- Ladies, no riots, please.
If people don't stop getting into
my house under false pretenses...
I just want a story.
If I go back without it, I'll lose my job.
- Don't bother to pull that old line.
- You're big news, you know.
That's time enough for New York
The War was a long way off,
but King Kong, the giant ape...
- ...was right here on the spot.
- So I've heard.
And you're the man that brought him here.
Kong is dead. But everybody's
interested in you, too, Mr. Denham.
All those people that Kong killed
and injured...
all the property owners
who are suing you for damages, and...
And the theater owners, and the men who
put money in advanced publicity, and...
Say, are you telling me?
Why don't you let him alone? He hasn't
dared leave the house for a week.
That's what I want,
You want to know what the captor
of the late Kong...
- ...thinks about, eh?
- Yes.
I thought I had him safe.
Don't you suppose I'm sorry
for the harm he did?
I wish I'd left him on his island.
Old Kong, I'm sure paying
for what I did to you.
Mrs. Hudson, suppose we look out
and count the gentlemen in disguise...
who are waiting for me?
If I don't get out of this house
pretty soon, I'll choke.
Hey!
Aren't you going to give me a story?
All right, tell my public
that Carl Denham, the bright boy...
who was going to make a million dollars
out of King Kong, is flat broke.
Everybody in New York
is suing me for something.
The only place I haven't heard from
is the Bide-A-Wee home.
But, Mr. Denham,
my readers want to know...
There's a newsboy and a peddler
and a taxi driver out there.
I'll bet you a nickel
they're all process servers.
- There's a man coming up the steps.
- Huh?
Why, it's Charlie. Let him in.
- Hello, Charlie, what do you want?
- Captain Englehorn send you this.
- Where'd you come from?
- All time, stay on ship.
- Cook for Skipper. Easy job.
- Mm.
Tell the Skipper I'll be over at the ship
as soon as I can get out of here.
- What's matter? You scared to come out now?
- You said it. Much obliged, Charlie.
- Maybe you can get out through the basement.
- Come on. Let's try it.
Rags.
Bottles, rags.
You've got a nerve.
I got everything, lady.
And I buy everything.
Rags, bones.
Say, you fresh guy!
Mrs. Hudson.
Mr. Carl Denham.
Well, I'll be. Hello, Mickey.
- Hello.
- Have a heart, will you?
That's 15 of those things
you've slipped me.
- I'm the best in the business, Mr. Denham.
- Well, what is it this time?
Steiner and Wayne.
Destruction of property by Kong
on 39th street.
Shock, mental anguish, and sprained ankle
to owner of said property.
If I don't get out of this house,
I'll bite somebody.
Listen, Mickey, I've got a date.
You've done your job.
Mr. Denham, I'll give you a ride
on my junk wagon.
You... Ha, ha. You mean to say you've got
a wagon to go with that makeup?
Mr. Denham, I'm an artist.
Hey.
How did you get in there?
You can go from the roof to chimney.
Anthony St. Nick and Santa Claus.
Ooh. Commence.
Rags.
Bottles. Bones.
Rags. Hey, you can take off the tin hat.
You're safe now.
Where are you going, Mr. Denham?
Drop me at the nearest
subway station, James.
You know, it's funny how
anybody's troubles are somebody's gain.
I've been working steady
since you got in this jam.
You've no idea how that cheers me up.
The boy who was going to make
a million dollars.
Rags!
So that's the mess I'm in, Skipper.
Kong sure was a hoodoo for me.
I guess next time you leave
big monkey alone, huh?
Next time? Ha, ha.
Charlie must think Kongs are plentiful.
Well, Denham, now I'll tell you
why I wanted to see you.
- I've got a plan for both of us-
- What is it?
Going to get a couple of megaphones and
run sightseeing trips around the harbor?
- Ha-ha-ha.
- Mr. Denham, I...
Mickey.
- One more summons and I'll brain you.
- No, wait, Mr. Denham.
I ain't got no summons. Honest. I ain't.
I come to tip you off.
- Did you follow me over here?
- No, I live over here.
My father-in-law said
he saw you come in by the gates.
I feel very friendly to you, Mr. Denham.
You've kept me working
pretty steady lately.
Yeah, sure, I know, I've been a big help.
Now, what's on your mind?
I heard this afternoon
you're going to be indicted.
- What?
- Indicted.
- The grand jury's going to indict you.
- Let me out of this. I'm going crazy.
You take my tip and get out.
Summons is one thing
and grand jury is something else already.
- They are going to put you on the stand.
