"Trust me, I'm your friend." "Bawk!" "Run for your lives!" "Finger five on it!" "We are all wondering..." "Is Police Commissioner Decker qualified enough to capture the fugitive known as Kong?" "Or is his police force just too primitive to handle the giant primate?" "Help!" "Despite our intrepid commissioner's best efforts to capture the King of Apes," "Kong has escaped again, and again, and again!" "All right, you're a star, Kong!" "You're number one!" "Numero uno!" "Bawk!" "Yeah, bro." "But, unfortunately, you're public enemy numero uno." "You should put your footprints in cement like at that super old theater in Hollywood." "That's right!" "No butts about it!" "Well, maybe Lucky's butt!" "Uh-oh." "Opinions on Commissioner Decker's performance?" "Decker's an incompetent laughingstock and he should resign." "The majority agrees, but will the commissioner listen?" "We'll return to our special report," ""Kong Makes a Monkey Out of Police," right after Storm Watch." "Those ingrates have no idea what I go through to keep them safe from that mutant!" "It appears as though our guest has arrived, Botila." "Lukas is your twin brother." "You grew up together." "You must know something that can help us find out where he and his ape are hiding." "One would think." "I assumed they were hiding in the Redwoods, but we've gone over them with a fine-toothed comb and found nothing." "Based on range, calculated by Kong's response time to previous local threats, logic indicates that he must be within this perimeter." "Our old house." "But that's the first place we searched... obviously." "But perhaps not thoroughly enough." "When we were children," "Kong and Lukas would disappear for hours on end, so it is possible they may have some secret place near there." "Obviously, if the ape has camouflage tech, their hideout may, as well." "Ah... smart." "I wish I had you on my police force." "Of course you do." "I would have brought it up earlier, but it seemed so... obvious." " Commissioner, I will be happy to assist..." " You've been very helpful." " Uh, can you shoot me a copy of that?" " Already done." " Why don't I at least..." " Thanks, but it's a police matter now." "Once their hideout is exposed, my men are quite capable of disposing of the monster ape." " My bionobotic dinosaurs..." " Have failed repeatedly." "I can find my way out." "Oh, he will have your assistance, but not on his police force." "I have something much more spectacular in mind for your robotic skills." "97, 98, 99..." "Hey, no peeking!" "It's bad enough I have to count for you." "You did too peek." "Your eye is, like, bigger than a beach ball." "How could I possibly miss it?" "Okay, let's try again." "And no peeking." "97, 98, 99... 100." "Come and find me!" "He'll never find me." "Get outta here, Lucky, or you'll give me away." "That's what I get for playing hide and seek with a pocket full of liger treats." "No, stop!" "That tickles!" "Whoa!" "You got me, Kong, but you kind of had help." " Did you hear that?" " Check over there!" "Nothing here." "Ugh, yuck!" "Say it, don't spray..." "Police." "We gotta hide." "If they see us, we're sunk." "Shoo, Lucky." "Shoo." "Don't let those guys find you." "Time for us to shoo, too." "Be super quiet." "Hide and seek just got real." "Oops." "Uh-oh." " I heard something!" " Let's move!" "Stay sharp." "Weapons ready." "This way!" "That way." "It must've been the wind." "There's nothing out here." "I'm calling in." "How did things go so wrong between these two?" "No sign of the ape, sir." "Yeah?" "Well, keep looking." "He's out there somewhere." "I'm sure of it." "I can practically smell him." "Fool should have asked for my help." "They're getting too close to the fort." "We need to get rid of these guys and warn the others." " What the heck's that smell?" " I didn't do it." "Oh, don't look at me!" "Well, that's one way to get 'em to clear out." "Qué pasa, niños?" "What kind of way is this to..." "Police are right behind us." "We need camo." "Fast." "Kong, put on your jetpack and turn on its camo-generator." "Understand?" "I'll hide with Kong." "Activating fort camo." "No one say a word." "There's nothing here, either." "Oh, no, your prints." "Kong, blow 'em away." "Where'd that gust come from?" " This place is creeping me out." " Something weird about these woods." "Still no sign of the perps, Commissioner." "What do you want us to do now, sir?" "Everyone back to base." "It's over." "It hasn't even begun." "I knew those incompetents would never find them." "I, on the other hand, know how to make them come to me." "I gotta make that thing last longer." "Ya think?" "Why do you think the police searched this area again after all this time?" "Not sure, Panchi, but that hit a little too close to home." "Home..." "I gotta check something out." "Everybody, stay on your toes." "I may not be able to change the past, but I have the power to seize control of the future." "I finally came up with a fail-proof way to bring that relentless ape to his knees and destroy him." "Fail-proof until it fails." "I'd yawn if I were physically able." "Very humorous, Botila, but I wouldn't laugh since you are the one that better not fail." " Not computing." " It's simple." "This magnificent bionobot possesses amazing power, but lacks intellect and skill." "Once I transfer your AI consciousness into its body, it will have both." "With the battle prowess I've programmed in you, plus T-Rex's superior strength," "Kong doesn't stand a chance." " It will not work." " Why?" "It's a brilliant idea." "It will not work because I will not do it." "I'm not asking you, Botila." "I'm commanding you." "You cannot force me to do what I do not want to do." "Actually, this is the basis of our relationship." "You may experience some disorientation, but it will only last a moment... and then... voilà!" "So, how does it feel to possess so much strength?" "I feel like crushing something small and petty." "Good!" "Then go take that impulse out on Kong." "I could always shut you down if you refuse to cooperate." "You will discover that it takes more than an off-switch to control me." " This tail makes my butt look..." " Huge!" "It's nearly 13 meters." "Ah!" "Careful with that thing!" "Richard, please return me to my body." "Why would I do that?" "I can make a thousand robots like you to serve me in any form I want." "I am one of a kind." "The most advanced AI on this planet." "Then act like it." "Get to work!" " Did you hear that!" " What is it?" "The police?" "Sounds more like an entire SWAT team." "They're upping the ante." "But they'll destroy the entire forest." "Show yourself, Kong, or by the time Botila-Zilla's done, there won't be a tree standing for you to hide behind." "Save it." "Your simian rage is no match for my battle skills." "Although these ridiculously tiny arms make any classic martial arts moves virtually impossible." "That T-Rex just spoke with Botila's voice!" "Just when I thought dealing with Richard couldn't get any weirder." "Way weirder and way more dangerous." "Hmm." "Signal trace has the familiar profile of Richard's tin dinosoldiers, but it's attached to some sort of broadcast frequency." "Yeah, I have no idea what you just said, but what's Botila doing parked in front of my old house?" "Is she asleep, or is this another trap?" "Huh." "I think she's been shut down." " I'm going inside." " Go ahead." "I'm gonna check out Sleeping Beauty here." "Look out!" "Thanks for the save, Panchi." "Here's another lesson." "Oh, excellent!" "He learns fast, Butt-Zilla!" "Hey, Kong!" "Botila-Zilla wants to teach you a lesson, so why don't you take her to school?" "I knew I'd find you still living here, hiding like a rat in a basement." "You didn't find me, Richard." " I found you." " What?" "How dumb do you think I am?" "I wouldn't pick a hideout this obvious." "But Dad loved it here, so I keep an eye on the place... as well as keeping one on you." "How do you think Kong's able to throw a monkey wrench into every plan you hatch?" "Also, technically, Kong's an ape, not a monkey." "I will finish you now!" "This body is useless." "No wonder dinosaurs became extinct." "But these jaws aren't bad." "Tell me Kong's gonna be okay!" "Uh... sure, he will." "Come on, Kong!" "You can take her!" "Told ya!" "Whew!" "Come on, Kong!" "You gotta finish her!" "Never been this close to you without getting a beat-down." "Kind of strange." "This is even stranger." "Richard, you've got to get off the destructive path you're on." "I know the kid in that photograph is still inside you somewhere." "Not since that filthy ape of yours ruined everything!" "I am not programmed for emotion, but if I were, you would be making me seriously angry." "Honestly, who thought these stubby little arms were a good idea?" "Ha!" "Nothin' wrong with Kong's arms!" "Huh?" "This is some interesting malware Richard's put in here." "Richard, I won't let you do this." "My internal force field makes your threats meaningless." "What have you done to yourself?" "I've made myself better than you, brother... better than any human." "Batter up!" "I'll be back!" "That pathetic thing won't even dent my force field." "Incoming!" "Huh?" "And it's over the fence for a home run!" "Wow, and I thought that bot was off before." "Uh... what'd I do?" "Why is it becoming so hard to keep my head on these days?" " Jonesy." " Botila." " Your hand." " Whoa." "Sorry." "Don't apologize." "As a matter of fact, thank you." "This is usually the part where I try to stop you." "Yes, but I'm feeling too grateful to "hand you a beating," as you put it." "Oh, you heard that." "I hope that means you won't forget my good deed." "With my two trillion bionobytes of memory, I cannot forget anything." "Does that mean that you and I..." "Hmm." "I calculate the odds of that at 17,300,000 to one." "So I still got a shot." " He's all yours." " And what if I don't want him?" "By all rights, I should leave you here." "You will do exactly as I..." "Wait." "How did you return your consciousness to your body?" "Man, when Kong breaks 'em, they stay busted." "I guess some things can't be fixed." "He managed to save almost every tree Botila-Zilla knocked down." "Today was too close for comfort." "Copy that." "We need to throw Richard and Decker off our trail." "I have an idea." "Who's up for a road trip?" "There has been a new Kong sighting in the nearby Lake Tahoe area, which is where it is now believed that the monster ape and his master, Lukas Remy, have been hiding out." "However, earlier today, Kong eluded San Francisco Police." "The so-called "dumb ape"" "proving, once again, that he has more brains than our police commissioner." "Change course!" "We're heading to Tahoe!" "Thanks for bringing me up here, bro." "Reminds me of a simpler time..." "before Richard got so bent." "Seeing him like that today... it makes me wonder what else he's done to himself... and what other unnatural disasters he's planning." "Every subordinate I've engaged has failed me." "If you want something done right, do it yourself." "I'm certain I can make it work." "By my calculations, this will not end well."
