James and the Giant Peach Original Cast
Empire State/The Attack
[JAMES, spoken]
Everyone, look! That's the Empire State Building! We've traveled across the entire Atlantic Ocean to New York City!

[LADAHLORD]
Children, be wary
If you're faint of heart
Pray that no one dies!
Right before your eyes

[SPONGE, spoken]
You there, on the peach! We're here with the commander of the United States Airforce. Surrender at once!

[JAMES, spoken]
That's Sponge!

[SPIKER, spoken]
You have three seconds to return our peach. Three, two, one!

[COMPANY]
Right before your eyes... 

[SPIKER, spoken]
Launch the attack helicopters. 

[COMPANY]
Right before your eyes... 
[SPIKER, spoken]
Fire the heat-seeking missiles!

[COMPANY]
Look, a new surprise!

[LADAHLORD, spoken]
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your pilot speaking. We're about to make our final descent into New York's JFK International Airport. To your right, you'll see the Empire State Building. In front of us, you'll notice a giant peach. Flying directly... towards... us!

The plane sliced right through the silken strings! The peach plummeted towards the earth! Women screamed!

[WOMAN]
Aah!

[LADAHLORD, spoken]
Strong men said things like-

[MAN, spoken]
I guess this is it, Joe. 

[LADAHLORD, spoken]
And-

[JOE, spoken]
Yep. 
[LADAHLORD, spoken]
And then, bam, the peach fell to the earth, landing on the top of the Empire State Building!

[COMPANY]
Right before... 

[WOMAN, spoken]
Look up there! It's a giant peach!

[COMPANY]
Right before... 

[ANOTHER WOMAN, spoken]
It's stuck on the top of the Empire State Building!

[COMPANY]
Right before your eyes!
(Aah! Run for your lives!)
