Dialogue

edit
Mondo Islander: Wong Kong! Wong Kong!
Commander Carl Nelson: Wong... That means King. The natives call him King Kong. He said we're trespassing on Kong's home.
Lieutenant Susan Watson: You mean he actually exists?
Commander Carl Nelson: We'll soon find out.
Lieutenant Susan Watson: Kong! Kong! King Kong!
Lt. Commander Jiro Nomura: Don't call.
Commander Carl Nelson: Yeah, 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.
