It sure as hell could be oil.

Sweet Jesus! Rockefeller!

-Maybe it's a wedding.

-A good guess.

It's scheduled for the night

when the moon's full.

Where's the groom?

See the one

in the ape mask?

You might say

that's the groom's stand-in.

The groom is

on the other side of the wall.

You mean it's bad luck if they

see each other before the wedding?

Ghastly luck

for the whole congregation.

Oh, Christ!

You want to talk for us?

I'll try.

Shoot in the air only.

What's he bitching about?

He's probably telling us we've

contaminated their magic.

No.

Remember, in the air.

What is it?

He wants to make a deal.

Six of them for Dwan.

Tell them that I like him, too,

but not that way.

In the air!

-You'll have trouble with the chief.

-I will buy the chief.

What have we got

that wogs go for?

Radios, pots and pans,

all sorts ofjunk.

This is no longer the 19th century.

You can'tjust grab their island.

I'll check that with the UN.

In the meantime -

-we scare them into the boondocks

with a July 4th number.

Are your men ready

to set the charges?

Kong! Kong!

You heard him chant.

He exists. You saw the wall.

Who do you think they were planning

to give the girl to?

It's some nutty religion.

A priest dresses up and gets laid.

We'll humor Jack.

Take plenty of TNT.

Any sign of a monkey bigger

than four feet, send it bang-bang.

-You wouldn't.

-Bet me.

Even you wouldn't be a**hole enough

to wipe out a unique new species.

The kids would burn every

Petrox gas station in the country.

-He could be right.

-Kong, Kong, Kong...

-What are you doing?

-I'm going to steal a boat.

-Seriously?

-As soon as I've swiped supplies.

-I'm going on a camera hunt.

-That sounds dangerous.

It's a chance of a lifetime. You

either grab it or you're dead meat.

You shouldn't go ashore tonight.

It's not a good night for Aries.

How did you know I was an Aries?

By the shape of your ears.

All right, I asked Fred Wilson.

He knows everything about you.

-I really wish you wouldn't go.

-Is it better to watch an old movie?

There's nothing else to do.

Use your imagination.

is a mile. We could jog.

I guess my camera hunt can wait

a couple of hours.

Excuse me, I'll just finish stealing

in the galley.

You'll disappoint me if you're here

when I get back.

-What do you mean?

-I hope you'll wait in your cabin.

Here you are, son.

Get it out right away.

All right.

I said that pool might be oil.

We can't be sure...

Think positive. Guys who think

negative don't get far at Petrox.

"Has to be the biggest ever.

No problems at all."

-Well, you're the boss.

-Don't worry about it, Roy.

Help!

Help me!

No!

We're too late.
