Quote context

[...]

- There's a long, sandy peninsula.

- The only possible landing place is through this reef.

- The rest of the shoreline is sheer precipice, hundreds of feet high.

- And across the base of that peninsula, cutting it off from the rest of the island, is a wall.

- A wall?

- Built so long ago that the people who live there have slipped back, forgotten the higher civilization that built it.

- That wall is as strong today as it was centuries ago. The natives keep that wall in repair. They need it.

- Why?

- There's something on the other side of it, something they fear.

- A hostile tribe.

- Did you ever hear of Kong?

- Why, yes. Some native superstition, isn't it? A god or a spirit or something.

- Well, anyway, neither beast nor man. Something monstrous, all-powerful.

You're safe now, dear.
