  • [last lines]
  • Lieutenant Susan Watson: Kong! Kong! King Kong!
  • Lt. Commander Jiro Nomura: Don't call him, Susan.
  • Commander Carl Nelson: Yes, let him go.
  • Lieutenant Susan Watson: But he's going...
  • Commander Carl Nelson: He's going home. I think he's had enough of what we call civilization.
  • Lieutenant Susan Watson: Well, I don't see how you could be amused by gorillas. I think they're dull.
  • Lt. Commander Jiro Nomura: Well this one's 60 feet tall. What do you think of him?
  • Lieutenant Susan Watson: Sixty feet?
  • Commander Carl Nelson: That's right. This is Kong, the strongest living creature on Earth.
  • Dr. Who: Can Kong stay in the water a long time?
  • Lt. Commander Jiro Nomura: Yes, he can swim a little. More than you can.
  • Lt. Commander Jiro Nomura: I don't know. Do you really think we could locate Kong?
  • Commander Carl Nelson: I'm sure we'll find him... as long as they haven't taken him to the North Pole.
  • [laughs]
  • Commander Carl Nelson: [Kong is shown imprisoned at the North Pole]
  • Lt. Commander Jiro Nomura: Wish we could have talked to the old one sooner.
  • Commander Carl Nelson: He told us enough. I've an idea who the kidnapper is. It must be my old friend, that international Judas, Dr. Who.
  • [Lt. Commander Jiro Nomura and Lt. Susan Watson are being held in a freezing cold cell by Dr. Who because they would not help him manipulate King Kong]
  • Dr. Who: Why should you endure this when it's not necessary? Nelson cannot aid you any longer, he's been cancelled.
  • Lt. Commander Jiro Nomura: You dog!
  • [Dr. Who points a gun at him]
  • Dr. Who: I am a realist and I need you, so I'm going to be generous. I'm going to let you go without a bit of trouble, and with lots of cash. You just have to do one thing for me.
  • [Lt. Commander Jiro Nomura and Lt. Susan Watson refuse]
  • Dr. Who: You think I wouldn't kill you? I could and I would.
