Dr. Graham: It's almost 300 feet. It's much bigger than the other one.
Admiral Stenz: This one doesn't have any wings.
Graham: A different sex?
Dr. Serizawa: A female.
Graham: THAT'S who he's been talking to.
Serizawa: It must be a mating call. The female remained dormant until the male matured.
Graham: Now they're seeking radiation...to reproduce!

Dr. Serizawa: In 1954, the first time a nuclear submarine ever reached the lower depths, it awakened something.
Dr. Graham: The Americans first thought that it was the Russians, and the Russians thought it was them. All those nuclear bomb tests in the fifties? Not tests.
Dr. Serizawa: They were trying to kill it. Him, an ancient alpha predator.
Dr. Graham: Millions of years older than mankind. From an age when the Earth was 10 times more radioactive than today. This animal and others like it consumed this radiation as a food source. As the levels on the surface naturally subsided these creatures adapted to live deeper in the oceans, further underground. Absorbing radiation from the planet's core. The organization we work for, Monarch, was established in the wake of this discovery. A multinational coalition formed in secrecy to search for him, study him. Learn everything we could.
Dr. Serizawa: We call him...Gojira.
Dr. Graham: The top of a primordial ecosystem. A god, for all intents and purposes.
Ford Brody: A monster.
