[last lines]
Dr. Rick Stanton : [after Godzilla blasts one of King Ghidorah's heads with its atomic breath] Jesus! Good thing he's on our side.
Dr. Ilene Chen : For now.
Madison Russell : Look!
[the remaining Titans, including Rodan, arrive to bow to Godzilla, who roars in triumph]
-
Mark Russell : [almost whispering] Open the shields.
Dr. Rick Stanton : [loudly] Oh yeah, sure, let's bring him in for a beer! You outta your goddamn mind?
Mark Russell : [almost whispering] Let him know we're not a threat. Open the shields.
[pause]
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa : [to Stanton] Do it.

Colonel Diane Foster : The oxygen destroyer, why wasn't Monster Zero affected?
Chief Warrant Officer Barnes : I mean, I'm no scientist, but I think it has something to do with his goddamn head growing back.
Dr. Rick Stanton : Well, I've never seen anything like it. It violates everything we know about the natural order.
Dr. Ilene Chen : Unless he's not part of the natural order.
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa : What do you mean?
[shows a cave painting of Godzilla and Monster Zero]
Dr. Ilene Chen : I was able to piece this together.
Sam Coleman : Well, he looks vaguely familiar.
Dr. Ilene Chen : It tells of a great dragon who fell from the stars. A Hydra whose storm swallowed both men and gods alike.
Mark Russell : What, you mean an alien?
Dr. Ilene Chen : Yes. He's not part of our natural order. And he's not meant to be here.
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa : A false king.
Dr. Rick Stanton : An invasive species. That could explain how he's creating these massive storms and the effect he's having on the other Titans. It's almost he's reshaping the planet to his own liking.
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa : These legends, what did they call him?
Dr. Ilene Chen : Ghidorah. "The one who is many."
Mark Russell : Ghi-what?
Sam Coleman : She said, "Gonorrhea."
Mark Russell : Huh?
Dr. Ilene Chen : [enunciating] Ghidorah!

Dr. Rick Stanton : Godzilla's radiation is reaching critical mass! Six minutes until he blows!
-
Executive Officer Bowman : Can't fix our position. GPS is down. But inertial says we're 600 miles from departure.
Commander Crane : That can't be.
Dr. Rick Stanton : I knew it, man! The vortex was a tunnel into the Hollow Earth. It's a subterranean tunnel system that connect the entire planet. It doesn't matter. I knew I was right. I told you, Chen!
Dr. Ilene Chen : Shut up, Rick.

Chief Warrant Officer Barnes : Mayday, mayday! This is Raptor One to Argo. Argo, do you copy?
Colonel Diane Foster : Copy, Raptor One. What's your status?
Chief Warrant Officer Barnes : We're screwed, that's what. And we got kids on board. We're gonna need immediate mid-air retrieval.
Chief Warrant Officer Barnes : Lock on their position, and prepare the hangar for an emergency landing.
Dr. Rick Stanton : Hangar doors are unresponsive.
Colonel Diane Foster : Manual override?
Dr. Rick Stanton : They're stuck!
Mark Russell : [gets out of his seat] All right, which way to the hangar?
Sam Coleman : I can show you. Anybody else? I know the way. Come on.
Dr. Rick Stanton : Hope you got a big wrench.

Mark Russell : My God.
Dr. Rick Stanton : Zilla.

Dr. Rick Stanton : And what's gonna be left, if you do this? A dead charred world, overrun by monsters?
Dr. Emma Russell : No, Doctor Stanton, the exact opposite. Just like a how forest fire replenishes the soil or how a volcano creates new land, we have seen signs that these creatures will do the same. San Francisco, Las Vegas, wherever the Titans go, life follows, triggered by their radiation. They are the only thing that can reverse the destruction that we started. They are the only guarantee that life will carry on. But for that to happen, we must set them free.
