Akiko

Daddy

Kōichi Shikishima

Akiko

Akiko

What?

Kōichi Shikishima

I told you. I'm not your father.

Shirō "Kid" Mizushima

Shikishima. Don't say that.

Kenji "Doc" Noda

That's truly harmful.

Captain Yōji Akitsu
[putting a hand on Shikishima's shoulder]

Fate has brought you together as a family. Accept it. Embrace it.

Shirō "Kid" Mizushima
[cheerfully]

Make them happy!

Kōichi Shikishima

Enough! I don't want that.

Captain Yōji Akitsu

Why not? [The question is left hanging.]

Captain Yōji Akitsu

What's wrong? Brighten up, Mastermind. It's bad for morale.

Kenji "Doc" Noda

I know it's my plan. But I'm feeling we'll need a miracle to make it work.

Captain Yōji Akitsu

Doing nothing won't cause a miracle, either.

Kenji "Doc" Noda

You're right.

Captain Yōji Akitsu

Take a look at these guys' faces. They're not stupid. They know they're risking their lives. And yet... their faces are beaming. They're happy. This time, they'll make a difference.

Kenji "Doc" Noda

Make a difference.

Captain Yōji Akitsu

We all came through war. This time, we're making it right.

Captain Yōji Akitsu

You should have married her before. You knew how she felt.

Kōichi Shikishima

Don't you think I wanted that?

Captain Yōji Akitsu

Then why didn't you?

Kōichi Shikishima

Because... my war isn't over yet.

Kōichi Shikishima

After you're done (feeding the baby), you're leaving.

Noriko Ōishi
[sarcastically, to the baby]

Hear that? He's so mean and scary.

Kenji "Doc" Noda
[introducing himself I'm Noda. [shakes hands with Shikishima]

I developed naval weapons during the war. [points to the others] Boat captain Akitsu, and Mizushima.

Captain Yōji Akitsu
[pointing Mizushima and Noda]

"The Kid" and "Doc".

Kenji "Doc" Noda

Not fond of that nickname.

Shirō "Kid" Mizushima

And I'm not a kid.

Captain Yōji Akitsu

You're still green, so 'Kid' it is.

Shirō "Kid" Mizushima

I know, I know. I wasn't in the war.

Moustached man

Why are we always the ones drawing the short straw? We got enough of that in the war.

View quote →
Shirō "Kid" Mizushima

You didn't (see any combat)? That makes Shikishima and me equals.

Captain Yōji Akitsu

You can't fly a plane.

Shirō "Kid" Mizushima

If I'd gone to war, I would've learned. If only it had lasted longer.

Kōichi Shikishima
[Shikishima grabs the front of the Kid's shirt and looks him straight in the eye.]

You better not mean that.

Shirō "Kid" Mizushima
[suddenly contrite]

No, sorry.

Unnamed man

This plan [to destroy Godzilla]... does it mean certain death?

Kenji "Doc" Noda

Of course not.

Unnamed man

Then it definitely beats wartime.

Unnamed mechanic
[to Shikishima, privately]

I'm on your side. We need more people like you. Why obey an order to 'die honorably' when the outcome is already clear?

View quote →
Shirō "Kid" Mizushima
[Captain Akitsu has told the Kid he is not going on the mission. He and Noda walk away as the Kid stands there alone.] [calling back to them]

I want to defend my country, too. Take me with you! [shouting] We've been a team for a long time! I'm begging you! Take me with you! I want to go with you!

Captain Yōji Akitsu
[softly]

We leave you to the future.

Noriko Ōishi
[Shikishima has just confessed to Noriko about his being a failed kamikaze pilot and his encounters with Godzilla.]

Listen to me. Everyone who survived the war is meant to live.

Kōichi Shikishima

How do you know?!?

Noriko Ōishi

I just do! As flames took my parents, they ordered me to live. So whatever happens next, I know I must survive! That's kept me going.

Kōichi Shikishima
[becoming distraught]

I can't. They beckon to me in my dreams every night. "Hurry and come", they say. "Why are you still cheating death?"

Noriko Ōishi

It's just a dream. Ghosts you created.

Kōichi Shikishima

Maybe it's an illusion. What if I'm really dead already? I died long ago on that island and lie rotting. You and Akiko are just the last dream of a dead man. [breaks down] That must be it! It has to be!

Noriko Ōishi
[embracing Shikishima]

You are alive! You are alive, Koichi. [softly] Can't you feel it?

Kōichi Shikishima
[after Noriko's funeral, to the pictures]

You can't forgive me. Is that it? It's my fault... for thinking I could dream again.

Shirō "Kid" Mizushima
[after seeing the size and strength of Godzilla]

Okay, never mind.

View quote →
Shirō "Kid" Mizushima
[leading the tugboat armada]

The useless to the rescue!

View quote →
Kōichi Shikishima
[referring to Akiko]

I want to protect her future. I will stop Godzilla no matter what.
