Dialogue

Amy Franklin: I'm sorry.

Dr. Andrew Ingersoll: That cost this institute seven million dollars!

Dr. Benson Hughes: She knows how much it costs. She's been a part of it since we first got Kong's heart resuscitated.

Amy Franklin: There's nothing wrong with the heart. The damn thing runs like a Swiss watch. It's his blood.

Captain: You there! Are those weapons loaded?

Vance: You bet, General! And so are we!

Major Peete: You'll be shooting each other, you damn fool! You wanna get killed?

Vance: I want that ape's head on the hood of my pickup!
