Quotes from Robert Armstrong's Characters

    1. Ann Darrow: Do you always take the pictures you sell?
    2. Carl Denham: Ever since a trip I made to Africa. I'd have got a swell picture of a charging rhino, but the cameraman got scared. The darn fool, I was right there with a rifle! Seems he didn't trust me to get the rhino before it got him. I haven't fooled with a cameraman since; I do it myself.
