Godzilla (2014) quotes

View Quote Admiral Stenz: Prep the warheads and get them moving to the coast. [to Dr. Serizawa] I know you don't agree with this. But my first priority is to safeguard our citizens. [a distraught Dr. Serizawa shows Admiral Stenz his pocket watch] It's stopped.
Dr. Serizawa: Yes. Eight-fifteen in the morning, August 6, 1945.
Stenz: Hiroshima.
Serizawa: It was my father's...

View Quote Admiral Stenz: This "alpha predator" of yours, doctor...do you really think it has a chance?
Dr. Serizawa: The arrogance of man is thinking nature is in our control...and not the other way around. Let them fight.

View Quote 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.

View Quote Ford Brody: Sergeant. Lieutenant Brody, U.S. Navy. I need your help. I'm trying to get to the mainland.
Sgt. Morales: It's your lucky day, sir. Everything not tied down is moving east.
Brody: Is that where they're heading?
Morales: Yeah… I guess we're monster hunters now.

View Quote Joe Brody: Hey! How's Elle doing? And Sam? Oh, my god! He must be, what, three? Three and a half?
Ford Brody: He's almost five.

View Quote Joe Brody: I'll meet them down there myself. Put the safety doors on manual override.
Takashi: Joe, I cannot do that!
Joe Brody: Keep the doors open! My wife is still in there!

View Quote Soldier: Current tracking models indicate that all three targets are converging here: San Francisco Bay. But if we rig a nuclear warhead with a shielded timer. Put it on a boat and send it 20 miles out, the radiation lures in the MUTOs...and the MUTOs lure Godzilla.

View Quote [Watching the other MUTO wreck havoc on the news]
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!

View Quote [fumes at Japanese officials over him and Ford being caught at Janjira] You're not fooling anybody when you say that what happened 15 years ago was a natural disaster, all right? It was not an earthquake, it wasn't a typhoon, okay?! So stop... [sighs] I'm tired of talking to you about this. I want to see my son. I want to know that he's alright. [points to Japanese guard] This guy, this guy knows. Musuko wa, doko da? [Where is my son?] I want my son, and I want my bags, and discs, [stands up] and I want to talk to somebody in charge. [brushes off official's appeal] No, not you. I'm done talking to you! Alright? [to Dr. Serizawa and Dr. Graham] You're looking at me, right now, like I'm in a fish tank, right? That's fine, because I know what happened. You keep telling everybody that this place is a death zone, but it's NOT! You're lying. Because what's really happening, is that you're hiding something out there. I'm right, aren't I? MY WIFE DIED HERE! Something...killed my wife...AND I HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW! I deserve answers! [later sits down; reacts to flickering lights] See? You see? There it is again! That is not a transformer malfunction, that is an electromagnetic pulse! It affects everything electrical from miles and miles, and it is happening again! This is what caused everything in the first place! Don't you see that?! And it's gonna send us back to the Stone Age! You have no idea what's coming!
