Joe Perko Quotes in King Kong (1976)

[first lines]

Joe Perko: OK, Boan, how much you got here?

Boan: About eighteen hundred.

Joe Perko: Eighteen hundred? What's going on?

Boan: There's Bagley.

Joe Perko: Hey, Mr. Bagley! Something's haywire. They only loaded me enough pipe to push one test hole. Less than two thousand feet.

Roy Bagley: Yeah, that'll be enough.

Boan: Are you kidding? On Bagatan, we didn't come until we were past twenty-six thousand feet.

Roy Bagley: You take my word, fellas. This hole proves out within two thousand, or it's a write-off.
