:07:00
Denham's getting wild. I hope you've got
some good news for him.

:07:06
Well, Mr. Denham, you know the reasons
for hurrying as well as I do.

:07:09
Insurance company found out
we're carrying explosives.

:07:12
Marshal will be aboard
tomorrow or next day.

:07:14
If we make a legal case of it,
we'll be tied up for months?

:07:17
With enough ammunition
to blow up the harbor.

:07:22
What do you think the marshal will say
to these new gas bombs of yours?

:07:26
According to you, one of them
is enough to knock out an elephant.

:07:29
We've got to get where we're going
before the monsoon starts.

:07:32
- Trust me to see you through a blow.
- Oh, now, don't get sore, skipper.

:07:36
You can't run into the rainy season when
you're trying to make an outdoor picture.

:07:40
Months wasted, money gone
and nothing to show.

:07:42
Still you always
bring back a picture.

:07:44
And everybody says,
"There's only one Carl Denham."

:07:50
Weston, I was just going ashore
to call you.

:07:52
If I'd known that,
I would have waited.

:07:54
This is the skipper.
Weston, the theatrical agent.

:07:56
I guess you met Driscoll,
the first mate.

:07:58
Well, Weston, how about the girl?
:08:01
- It can't be done, Denham.
- What?

:08:03
It's got to be done.
Now, look here, Weston.

:08:05
Somebody's interfered
with every girl I try to hire.

:08:08
Now all the agents in town
have shut down on me. All but you.

:08:11
- You know I'm square.
- Everybody knows you're square.

:08:14
But you've got
a reputation for recklessness...

:08:16
...that can't be glossed over.
Then you're so secretive.

:08:19
You said it.
:08:20
Even skipper and mate don't
know where they're going, what.

:08:23
There you are.
I've got a conscience, Denham.

:08:26
I can't send a pretty girl
such as you ask on a job like this...

:08:29
...without telling her what to expect.
- What is she to expect?

:08:33
To go off on a trip
for no one knows how long...

:08:35
...to some spot
you don't even hint at...

:08:38
...the only woman on a ship with
the toughest mugs I ever looked at.

:08:45
I mean the crew.
:08:48
Good Lord, you talk as if
I never brought anybody back alive.

:08:51
The skipper and Driscoll
have stuck to me on two trips.

:08:54
- They look well enough.
- Sure, we're healthy.

:08:57
But it's a different thing
taking a girl into danger.
