A scene from Godzilla (1998)
Nick

This animal is much too big to be some kind of lost dinosaur.

Hicks

Well, don't tell me what it isn't. Tell me what the hell it is.

Nick

Well, what do we know? It was first sighted off of the French Polynesian Pacific, right? That area has been exposed to dozens of nuclear tests over the past 30 years.

Elsie

Uh-huh. Hence the radiation.

Nick

No. More than that, I believe that this is a mutated apparition - a hybrid, caused by the fallout on these islands.

Elsie

Uh-huh. Like your earthworms?

Nick

Yes, yes. We're looking at a completely incipient creature. The dawn of a new species. The first of its kind.
