The Son Of Kong Page #4

---

I was in the ballet.

I wasn't very good.

What happened to World Wide?

Well, my father... Well, he sort of drank.

You know.

And...

They didn't want him anymore.

- So he started his own show.

- Yes.

Well, we just had a few monkeys.

It wasn't very good.

Say, that's no way to talk.

"I wasn't very good,

the show wasn't very good."

Cut it out! You want to tell everybody

how good you are.

Throw out your chest. Brag about yourself.

Oh.

So you're in the show business too.

No, I'm in the shipping business.

- I just put in with the cargo.

- Oh.

I thought maybe you had a show,

and I could...

No, I'm sorry.

Well, I've got a date.

Are you going to be all right?

I mean, have you got any money?

Yes.

Well, keep your chin up.

I'll be seeing you.

Miss, I heard about your father.

- If I could do anything...

- You've done enough.

You killed my father.

Killed? Why, what...?

The tent caught fire.

My father was beaten over the head.

He wasn't burned.

What do you think the magistrate

will say to that when he gets here?

You can't accuse me.

- You wasn't there.

- How do you know I wasn't?

Unless you were.

How do you know what my father

said to me before he...?

Before he died?

He... What did he say?

The magistrate will be here in a few days.

I'll tell him.

You better be careful.

What are you going to tell the magistrate?

You can just wonder about that

till he gets here.

- There isn't a pound of cargo for us here.

- What'll we do now?

Might pick up some business

in the Banda group.

It's a dull life, Skipper.

We need excitement.

Carl Denham.

Don't you remember me?

- Nils Helstrom.

- Well, for the love of Mike. Helstrom.

Sure, I remember you.

This is Captain Englehorn.

Captain Helstrom. Sit down.

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. Ha-ha-ha!

Have a drink.

So, that was your ship came in last night?

Mine and Denham's.

I heard about you in Singapore.

How you'd captured the biggest animal

on earth and taken him back to New York.

Agh.

I'm down, Denham.

- Don't you think you owe me something?

- Ha, ha.

Well, sir, you certainly came

to the right man.

- How about a 50-50 split?

- You mean that?

Sure, I mean it. I'll give you half

of everything I made out of King Kong.

- How much would that come to?

- Well, let's see, 10...

no, 11 lawsuits and the privilege

of being indicted by the grand jury too.

- Ah. Then you're broke too?

- Broke? I'm shattered.

Well, then how about

giving me passage on your ship?

- I want to get away from here.

- Where's your own ship?

I lost her on the Banka reefs.

- Tough luck. No job since?
