Concerns About Danger on Shore Expedition

Red: [after hearing about the last trip to Kong's island] He expect us to go ashore?

Helstrom: Sure. He's got to have a bodyguard, hasn't he? Say, you know there were a dozen sailors killed on the last voyage he made here?

Red: Killed? By them animals?

Helstrom: Yeah. But, you see Denham and the Skipper came out all right. Ah, but you don't have to worry. There are plenty of rifles aboard. If I were captain, I certainly wouldn't take my crew into danger.

Carl Denham: [indicates Englhorn] Why, for the love of Mike. Helstrom! Sure I remember you! Oh, this is Captain Englehorn. Captain Helstrom.

Carl Denham: [to Englehorn; laughs] Sit down. Say, do you know who this is? The man who gave me the map of Kong's Island. And he wants to know if I remember him? Have a drink.

Helstrom: [to Englehorn] So, that was your ship came in last night?

Englehorn: Mine and Denham's.

Helstrom: [to Denham] I heard about you in Singapore. How you had captured the biggest animal on earth and taken him back to New York.
