Godzilla: King of the Monsters Quotes

Dr. Emma Russell: The mass extinction we feared has already begun. And we are the cause. We are the infection. But like all living organisms, the earth unleashed a fever to fight this infection. Its original and rightful rulers, the Titans. They are part of the earth's natural defense system. A way to protect the planet, to maintain its balance. But if governments are allowed to

contain them, destroy them, or use them for war, the human infection will only continue to spread. And with our lifetime, our planet will perish, and so will we. Unless we restore balance.

Sam Coleman: What we are witnessing here, Senators - is the return of an ancient and forgotten superspecies. Godzilla. The MUTOs. Kong. We believe that these - Titans, and others like them, provide an essential balance to our world. And while some may pose a threat, Monarch - is uniquely prepared to determine which of these Titans are here to threaten us, and which of these Titans

are here to pro-tect us.
Senator Williams: Thank you for the fifth grade history lesson, Mr. Coleman.

Mark Russell: Jesus! How many of these things are there?
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: Seventeen. And counting, after Gojira.
Mark Russell: Seventeen!
Dr. Vivienne Graham: Most of them were discovered in deep hibernation. While others we've contained at top-secret sites around the world. Cambodia and Mexico, Skull

Island. We even found one in Wyoming. They're everywhere.

Alan Jonah: [to Dr. Emma Russell] Listen. While you were sitting comfortably in some laboratory, we've been fighting, for decades in one *dirty* war after another. I've seen human nature firsthand, and I'm here to *tell* you that it doesn't get any better. It just gets worse. So I'm sorry that Monster Zero isn't *exactly* what we were expecting. But we opened Pandora's box, and

there's no closing it now.

Mark Russell: You are out of your goddamn mind! First, you put our daughter's life in danger and now you get to decide the fate of the world. That's rich, Emma!
Dr. Emma Russell: I couldn't be more sane, and Madison couldn't be stronger. After we lost Andrew, I trained her to survive. And at least now, she will have a fighting chance.
Mark

Russell: A fighting chance? Why don't you listen to yourself? It's not all math, Emma. Some things, you can't control.
Dr. Emma Russell: And there are some things you can't run from.
Mark Russell: This won't bring him back to us.

Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: There are some things beyond our understanding, Mark. We must accept them and *learn* from them. Because these moments of crisis are also potential moments of faith. A time - when we either come together or fall apart. Nature always has a way of balancing itself. The only question is... What part - will we play.
Mark Russell: Did you

just make that up?
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: No. I read it in a fortune cookie once.
[beat]
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: A really long fortune cookie.

Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: Killing them would be a mistake. They returned because of us. It was our atomic testing that awoke Gojira. Other creatures like the MUTOs. From strip-mining and seismic surveys. But these are not monsters! They are animals, rising to reclaim a world that was once theirs!
Senator Williams: It almost sounds like you're protecting them,

Dr. Serizawa. As if you admire them.
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: [grimly] I admire all forms of life.
[standing]
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: Senators. If we hope to survive, we must find ways to coexist with Titans. With Gojira.
