Carl Denham:
Why, the whole world will pay to see this.
Captain Englehorn:
No chains will ever hold that.
Carl Denham:
We'll give him more than chains. He's always been king of his world, but we'll teach him fear. We're millionaires, boys. I'll share it with all of you. Why, in a few months, it'll be up in lights on Broadway: Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World.
Carl Denham:
And now, ladies and gentlemen, before I tell you any more, I'm going to show you the greatest thing your eyes have ever beheld. He was a king and a god in the world he knew, but now he comes to civilization merely a captive - a show to gratify your curiosity. Ladies and gentlemen, look at Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World.
Carl Denham:
Don't be alarmed, ladies and gentlemen. Those chains are made of chrome steel.

Carl Denham:
It's money and adventure and fame. It's the thrill of a lifetime and a long sea voyage that starts at six o'clock tomorrow morning.
Ann Darrow:
I thought you didn't like woman?
Jack Driscoll:
Yeah, but you're not woman.
Ann Darrow:
Do you always take the pictures you sell?
Carl Denham:
Ever since a trip I made to Africa. I'd have got a swell picture of a charging rhino, but the cameraman got scared. The darn fool, I was right there with a rifle! Seems he didn't trust me to get the rhino before it got him. I haven't fooled with a cameraman since; I do it myself.
