Ken Watanabe credited as playing...
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa
- Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: Sometimes... the only way to heal our wounds is to make peace with the demons who created them.
- Dr. Vivienne Graham: A sort of symbiotic relationship, if you will. The lion and the mouse.
- Senator Williams: Or the scorpion and the frog. So you'd want to make Godzilla our pet.
- Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: No. We will be his.
- [general laughter]
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: [angrily] This is a dangerous path! You are meddling with forces beyond our comprehension, gambling with the lives of billions!
- Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: Hold your fire. We don't know if he will attack!
- Mark Russell: Well he will if you keep those guns on him. Now I want him dead more that anybody, but unless this is a fight that you know that you can win for God's sakes, stand down.
- 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!
- Colonel Diane Foster: Is there another creature that might stand a chance against him?
- Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: [thoughtfully] No. Ghidorah and Gojira's rivalry was ancient and unique.
- Staff Sergeant Martinez: Right, so we killed - our best shot - at beating this thing?
- Dr. Vivienne Graham: The specimen at the site has been kept entirely off-book. And since it's a more recent discovery our data is limited. But it seems to be another apex predator.
- Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: Emma called it - Monster Zero.
- Dr. Vivienne Graham: It may have been a rival alpha to Godzilla, battling for dominance over the other Titans.
