Kong in 3D

1 - [footsteps thudding.]
- [loud roaring.]
- [dramatic music playing.]
- [panting.]
[chittering.]
Trust me, I'm your friend.
[grunting.]
[Chatter.]
Bawk! Run for your lives! [sirens blaring.]
Finger five on it! [roaring.]
[grunting.]
[growling.]
[roaring.]
[reporter.]
We have just received an anonymous tip informing us that the giant fugitive ape, known as Kong, has been sighted heading back towards the scene of his first violent crimes, Alcatraz Island.
No sign of the monster gorilla as yet.
But we can see the acclaimed scientist and philanthropist, Dr.
Richard Remy, who - [Kong roars.]
- [reporter.]
Oh, no! Kong! Please, no! [Kong roaring.]
[roaring.]
No! - [grunts.]
- [pterodactyls screeching.]
[reporter.]
We have just witnessed a vicious, unprovoked attack on Dr.
Richard Remy, who only narrowly escaped with his life.
Thankfully, once again, Dr.
Remy's bionobots have saved the day and thwarted the savage ape.
But what everyone, especially the police, want to know is where are Kong and his nefarious master, Lukas Remy, hiding.
[sighs.]
I'd like to know where the heck Kong is, too.
Has anyone seen him? I didn't even know Kong left.
I saw him duck out just before sunrise.
I can't believe Kong would go back to the island to try to finish off Richard.
I can't either except we just saw it with our own eyes.
[grunting happily.]
Kong, your attack on Richard is all over the news.
What do you think you're doing? [confused grunting.]
Come on, bro, we saw you on the island.
[grunting.]
He says he didn't leave the Redwoods.
Bawk! Pants on fire! [squawks.]
Then where were you? [sad grunting.]
[sighs.]
No translation needed.
He has no excuse.
I believe you, big guy.
You do too, right, Panchi? Yes, there's no way Kong would do something that violent.
[grunting happily.]
But, unfortunately, he looks guilty since he won't tell us where he was.
[reporter.]
Our exclusive sources have revealed that police and private security are transporting a collection of the largest and most valuable diamonds in the world.
Ah, relax, nobody's gonna try anything with all this firepower.
[grunts.]
[roaring.]
[reporter exclaims.]
It's him! Kong, the ferocious fugitive, is back and attacking the diamond [reporter gasps.]
[grunts.]
[roaring.]
What? I swear, I hit him! [roars.]
[guns firing.]
[guns cocking.]
We lost him.
He's gone! And so are the diamonds! Despite all the security, the gigantic gorilla succeeded in stealing the entire collection of the world's largest diamonds.
I don't understand what's happening with Kong.
Attacking Richard, maybe but stealing diamonds? That makes no sense.
[scoffs.]
Kong would never steal.
He's a good boy! Kong! Kong! [Danny gasps.]
Where have you been? [grunting.]
All he'll tell me is that he swears he didn't leave the forest.
Kong, we really want to believe you.
But we just saw you swan dive off the Golden Gate Bridge.
[grunting.]
Wait he's dry! If he was just in the water, his fur would still be wet.
Panchi's right! Plus Kong doesn't know how to swim, so he'd never dive into the water! [grunting.]
Especially since he knows he can just swing across the bottom of the bridge.
But we still wish you would tell us where you were.
[sad grunts.]
It's okay, everyone is entitled to their secrets.
I'm really sorry I didn't believe you, bro.
Forgive me? Finger five? [grunts.]
So if it wasn't Kong, who was the ape on the bridge? And who attacked Richard on Kong Island? [Botila.]
My bio-sensors detect increased activity in the nucleus accumbens of your brain.
Which informs me that you are exceedingly pleased with yourself.
Despite the fact that I was the one that actually procured the diamonds from the armored truck.
Yes, while everyone was gaping at the big ape, which I programmed.
How easy it is to deceive the human eye, unlike our superior bionic eyes.
It's one of the things you and I have in common, Botila.
Hmm.
One of the very few things.
Well, and an appreciation for the finer things in life.
Forget it, Botila! I need all the diamonds for stage two of my operation.
Fine! I will just use my superhuman strength to crush some coal into my own priceless bling.
So, we are ready to begin setting up our first outpost? Not quite.
We need to clear the area, make sure no one is around to interfere with my plans.
I'm sure by now, my brother has figured out that his precious ape isn't to blame.
So we need to keep Lukas busy.
Naturally, you have already calculated the best method.
Yes.
I call it "Follow the bouncing Kong.
" [roaring.]
[screaming.]
- [roaring.]
- [all screaming.]
[screaming continues.]
[roaring.]
Man, the way this guy gets around, it's hard to believe it's just one ape.
One giant ape is amazing, but two is increíble! True, but Kong had to come from somewhere.
For all we know, he could have a whole family out there.
Hey, Kong, maybe you have a twin brother! You know, like Lukas and Richard! [Panchi.]
But what if it's an evil twin like Richard? [grunts.]
[groans.]
Sorry, bud, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your family.
[grunting.]
[laughs.]
Don't tell him to pick his nose.
I didn't! [whispers.]
At least not in public.
[grunts.]
Because my brother's savage beast has become an even greater menace to society, I am offering Commissioner Decker all my vast resources, including my bionobots, to help in the hunt for Kong.
And to protect the public against this grotesque freak of nature.
[chomping.]
Ready for more banana buñuelos? My tia Anita feels so bad nobody believed Kong, [chuckles.]
she just keeps making more "guilt cookies.
" Bawk! Selfish! Bawk! [chomping.]
[squawking.]
Yummy buñuelos! Bawk! Yuck! [retching.]
Monkey drool! Bawk! [both laughing.]
I'm guessing my brother knows more than he's saying about that other ape.
You're probably right, but how can we find out before he does even more damage to Kong's reputation? I bet Kong could stop that big troublemaker! Ah, I think you've got something there, Danny.
[belching.]
Excuse you! Bawk! Getting two giant apes together? [chuckles.]
I don't know.
If people can see how gentle Kong is, then they would know that he's not like the other ape, and then he'll be cleared.
It's not a perfect plan, but it's the best one we have.
Yeah, there's just one problem.
How do we get Kong to that other ape before he disappears again? Harnessing him to the helicopter made Kong too vulnerable to an attack, so no way we're doing that again.
I'm way ahead of you.
I've been working on a Kong-sized version of our jetpacks! Oh, caramba! I've always wanted to try that! Now's your chance.
We use them to explore remote areas.
You can build a jetpack big enough for Kong? Hey, you're talking to Jonesy! Of course, I'll have to make some adjustments to compensate for the big guy's weight distribution.
And I'm gonna need some extra-large parts.
Oh, you really think Kong will be able to fly? I'm sure Danny wouldn't mind giving Kong a little coaching.
Yeah, sure, no prob! As soon as someone coaches me.
And me! Deal.
Jonesy, Kong looks totally awesome, but where did you get the stuff to build the jetpack? Let's just say that one of Richard's aircraft may be grounded for a while.
[laughs.]
[exclaims.]
This is way cool! [chuckles.]
Most fun ever! [squawking.]
Not! Bawk! Sorry, Chatter! Ready for your first flight, bro? - [grunts.]
- [Lukas.]
Good to hear, because that other ape has just been seen again.
All right! Time to fly! Hold on.
You guys aren't Lukas, you might as well face the facts.
We're a team now.
- Where Kong goes - We go! [grunts.]
[sighs.]
[chuckles.]
Okay.
Just remember, stay steady, and lean in the direction you want to go.
[whirring.]
[grunts.]
[screaming.]
Bawk! Rocket ape! [exclaiming.]
[roaring.]
[Danny.]
No, Kong.
Like this! [Danny.]
That's the way, bud! [Panchi exclaims.]
You've got it, amigo! [Kong grunts.]
[Kong grunts.]
According to the latest report, the other ape was just sighted 800 miles east of his last location.
Eight hundred miles? Has he got some magical travel agent? [chuckles.]
Yeah, and I think her name is Botila.
[stutters.]
But how, why? I don't know.
Replay earlier news footage of Kong.
[sighs.]
Everyone knows the diamonds were stolen, but no one can figure out how that giant ape did it.
That's because he didn't! He was just a distraction, somehow produced by my brother to make Kong the scapegoat.
So it's all just about a diamond heist? No.
This is my brother we're talking about, so it has to be more complicated and grandiose.
I think he's somehow created giant apes to drive people away.
[chuckles.]
I'm sorry if I'm sounding like Chatter, but how, what, why? - Freeze! That's it! - The uranium mine! It's been illegal to mine uranium since around 2030.
When the powers that be finally realized the environmental impact, not just on nature, but on people.
Well, now, because of the shortage of weapons-grade uranium, Richard would make a fortune selling it on the black market.
Mmm-hmm.
Yo, change of course, kids! We're heading to New Mexico to meet the other giant ape, whoever, or whatever, it is.
[Botila.]
The stolen diamonds have unquestionably transformed T-Rex's teeth into the most powerful mining tools on Earth.
[roaring.]
Alert! My sensors detect aircraft approaching.
[screeching.]
Richard, is that you? [Richard.]
No, I'm grounded.
Something is wrong with my helicopter! [screeching.]
[grunting.]
[grunts.]
[Kong grunts nervously.]
[roaring.]
It's a Kong-sized hologram! Kong, stop! He's not real.
See? [grunts.]
[chuckles.]
[Jonesy.]
Let's see what's behind the Kong curtain.
I knew it! Hey, beautiful.
Did you miss me? [screeches.]
[electricity crackling.]
We've lost actuator controls! I'm taking us down! [T-Rex growling.]
[gasps.]
[screeching.]
[weapons cocking.]
[screeching.]
[grunts.]
[roars.]
[rapid gunfire.]
[screeching.]
[roaring.]
[screeches.]
Huh, I thought he'd never leave.
[gasps.]
[Botila.]
Military aircraft approaching.
Immediate departure imperative.
I think she's starting to like me.
[chuckles.]
Danny, Panchi, you've got to get out of here! - Hurry, bro! - Start heading for home.
No arguing! - [Kong groans.]
- Go now! [grunts.]
[pilot.]
Uh, squad leader, we've got an incoming giant flying ape? [pilot 2.]
Looks like we've caught uranium thieves red-handed.
[whirring.]
[sighs happily.]
You did it! Was there ever a doubt? [rapid gunfire.]
[grunts.]
[roaring.]
[grunts.]
Good to see he's got the hang of that thing.
Yeah, but he's still big as life for all to see.
If only there was some way to disguise Kong.
Hey, I made an ape fly, Camo-Kong couldn't be much harder, right? [sighs.]
Could one day could go by without Kong making big news? Yeah, where is Kong? Disappeared in the woods again, huh? You're up to something.
[grunts.]
What's Jonesy doing? Oh, he's messing with Richard's latest toy.
Danny picked it up at the mine, and if I figure out how to fix it, we can give Richard a taste of his own medicine.
[chuckles.]
Now, that's something I'd like to see.
[grunts.]
[man 1.]
Ah, there's nothing to see.
[man 2.]
Ape's long gone.
- Look, there he is! - [distant roaring.]
- [roaring.]
- Botila! Shut the hologram off! No deviating from my plan! I did not activate the holographic projector.
[Kong roars.]
It's the real Kong! [grunts.]
Call in the dinosaurs! Keep that beast away from me! [grunts.]
[roaring.]
[gasps.]
That's not Kong! [roars.]
[roars.]
It's a hologram! An astute observation.
Lukas did this.
I don't know what my brother plans to gain! [woman gasps.]
Where'd he go? [man.]
What's happening? - [all gasping.]
- [Kong grunts.]
[all gasping.]
[excited grunting.]
[crowd cheering.]
[all laughing.]
[man 1.]
Hey, they're fake! [man 2 chuckling.]
Holograms! [crowd cheering.]
[all laughing.]
[chuckling.]
Hello, Richard.
Now, let's see how you like being the one left to explain.
Dr.
Remy, what do you make of all the simulated Kong sightings? Sadly, I fear my brother was using them to create distractions while he and his real Kong stole the weapons-grade uranium.
Man, that guy's got major chutzpah.
Bawk! Mucho chutzpah.
[sighs.]
Richard steals the uranium and sticks Kong and Lukas with the blame, as usual.
Hey, where are they? [Danny.]
So this is why you've been sneaking off! [grunts.]
Building a tree fort! Cool! Why didn't you tell us? [grunting.]
You wanted it to be a surprise.
[laughs.]
Wow, Kong built you a fort just like the one we made when we were kids.
[grunting.]
Now, you two have your own special place just like we did.
[Danny.]
Whoa! You built this for us without any help? [grunts.]
[grunting.]
Uh-oh! [rumbling.]
- [crashing.]
- [Kong grunts.]
[sad grunt.]
Hey, what is it they say? It's the thought that counts.
[chuckles.]
[grunts.]
[dramatic music playing.]
