Robert Armstrong Quotes:
Carl Denham:
[warning Jack about women] Some big, hardboiled egg gets a look at a pretty face and bang, he cracks up and goes sappy!
Carl Denham: Say, that's no way to talk. "I wasn't very good. The show wasn't very good." Cut it out. You wanna tell evrybody how good you are. Throw out your chest. Brag about yourself.
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.
