- How can we follow him? What will we do?

- Fire department searchlights. Get them up on the roof.

- Yeah. That'll keep him in sight.

- Attention all stations. Kong is going west. He is making for the Empire State Building. Stand by for further reports.

- If he goes up there, what can we do?

- We won't be able to get near him.

- That licks us.

- There's one thing we haven't thought of.

- What?

- Airplanes.

- You're right! Planes! Call the field!

- Oh, boy! What a story!

- Here come the planes!

- They'll get him!
