(At Hong Kong Shatterdome)
Things have changed. We're not an army anymore, Mr. Becket. We're the resistance. Welcome to the Shatterdome.

Pacific Rim quotes
Page 1 of 52,500 tons of awesome... Or awful. You know, whatever you wanna call it.
There are 2 Kaiju signatures at the Breach, not 3 like I predicted.
Hermann, I haven't exactly had a very good day, okay? I've got about 5 minutes...
Should be 3.
...before brain death occurs here. I don't wanna spend it talking about your theories!
This is all wrong! There should be 3 Kaijus coming through, not 2.
Oh, there should be 3 and there's 2? I'm sorry, it hurts to be wrong.
I am not wrong, but there is something here we don't understand.
[speaking fast]
Okay, Hermann, hopefully we can argue about any mistakes you made in your predictive model in the future. But in the meantime, the neural interface is way off the charts. If you wanna help, help with that!
Newton, I am not wrong! And there is only 1 way to make sure. [types his name on the monitor] And that is to do this...together. I'll go with you. [Newton turns around] That's what the Jaeger pilots do, share the neural load.
You're serious? You-You would do that for me? Or...you would do that with me?
Well, with worldwide destruction a certain alternative, do I really have a choice?
Then say it with me, my man! We're gonna own this bad boy! [holds out his hand]
By Jove, we are going to own this thing for sure! [they both shake hands, Newton laughs]
Hang on a second. Excuse me, what's going on here.
There are 2 goshdarn Kaijus heading towards Hong Kong City.
No, that's not possible. There's-There's never been 2 before.
Well, maybe that's 'cause nobody's ever drifted with one before, eh, genius? When Jaeger pilots drift, it's a 2-way street. A bridge, right?
Of course, yes.
It sets up a connection. Both ways! [shoves Dr. Newton Geiszler] "A hive mentality", you said! Maybe those Kaijus are tryna find you.
I'm gonna wait out this death storm in my own private Kaiju bunker, but you are going to a public refuge. I've tried it once. [takes off his goggles to reveal a scar on his eyes] Once. Now get the heck outta here. [puts his goggles back on as his goons point their guns at Dr. Newton Geiszler's head]
I believe the Kaiju bone powder is $500 a pound. What do you want?
I need to access a Kaiju brain, completely intact.
No, no, no. The skull plate is so dense that by the time you drill into it--
The brain's rotted away. But I'm talking about the secondary brain. Now we both know that the Kaiju are so large that they need 2 brains to move around, like a dinosaur. I wanna get my hands on that.
Hmm. What the heck do you want a secondary brain for anyway? I mean, every part of the Kaiju sells. Cartilage, spleen, liver, even the crap! 1 cubic meter of crap has enough phosphorus in it to fertilize a whole field! But the brain? Too much ammonia! So what's the deal, little fella?
Well, that's classified. So I couldn't tell you, even if I wanted to. But it is pretty cool. So I might tell you. I'm gonna tell you. I figured out how to drift with a Kaiju.
Are you funnin' me, son?
It's fascinating how their minds work. Every single Kaiju, his mind's connected. The species has, like a-like a hive mind.
I did a little bit, yeah.
You goshdarn moron. [walks away]
They're adapting. This isn't a defense mechanism, it's a weapon!
Get me Striker.
Nothing, sir. The Mark 5's digital's fried. It'll take me two hours to reroute the auxliary. All the Jaegers, they're digital!
[approaches Stacker along with Mako]
Not all of them, marshal. [Stacker turns to him and Mako] Gipsy's analog. Nuclear.
[Stacker stares at his daughter and Raleigh, knowing he has no choice but to send them out in Gipsy Danger to face Leatherback and Otachi.]
I'm sorry. I should've warned you. First drifts are rough. But you weren't just tapping into my memories, you tapping into my brother's too. When Yancy was taken, we were still connected. I felt his fear, his pain, his helplessness, and then...he was gone.
I felt it. I know.
You know, you live in someone else's head for so long, the hardest part to deal with is the silence. To let someone else in, to really connect, you have to trust them. And today, the drift was strong.
[a metal clank is heard] [turns to Gipsy Danger]
Her heart. When's the last time you saw it?
Not in a long time.
Wait. I think this guy's dead. But let's check for a pulse.
Okay.
That's not going to work.
Why not?
Because I said so, Mr. Becket. I've already made my decision. Report to the Shatterdome in 2 hours and find out who your co-pilot will be.
[everyone leaves the room]
[Everyone in the Shatterdome are celebrating Raleigh and Mako's victory.] [approaches Raleigh and Mako]
Raleigh! [shakes Mako's hand] My kid'd never admit it– but he's grateful. [holds out his hand] We both are. [Raleigh takes his hand]
[Raleigh looks to Chuck, who nods to him.] [comes out of his office]
Mr. Becket! Miss Mori! [strides towards his daughter and Raleigh] In all of my years fighting– I've never seen anything like that. Well done. Proud of you. Proud of us all. But– as harsh as it sounds– [approaches everyone else] –there is no time to celebrate. We lost two crews. No time to grieve. Reset that clock!
[Mako notices blood dripping from her father's nose, prompting her to wipe her own nose.] [touches the blood on his nose, prompting him to pull out a cloth and use it to wipe his nose]
Reset the clock. [walks away]
[Raleigh and Mako exchange looks of concern.]
[Mako swims towards and climbs Raleigh's pod. She opens the hatch to find Raleigh unconscious. Mako removes Raleigh's helmet and checks his pulse.]
I can't find his pulse. I don't think he's breathing.
Can you read his pulse?
Raleigh?
Does he have a pulse?
Raleigh?
Mako, listen to me. I think it could be the sensors not working. We can't be sure.
Mako.
Don't go.
Mako.
No. Don't go, please.
[Mako hears Raleigh's voice.]
You're squeezing me too tight. [Mako lets go of him] I couldn't breathe.
[Mako chuckles. Everyone in the command centre cheers.]
This is Marshal Hercules Hansen. The Breach is sealed. Stop the clock!
[everyone cheers as the war clock is set back to zero.]
Mako, Raleigh, we have your position. The choppers are on their way. Just– just hang on. Are you okay? Do you copy?
[Raleigh and Mako touch their heads intimately.]
Uh, guys?
[Raleigh and Mako embrace as choppers fly above them.]
[Raleigh and Mako are waiting outside Stacker's office.] [from inside the office]
She can't control her Drift, and he went out of phase first!
[from inside the office]
We can't afford mistakes. The Kaiju keep evolving, they keep kicking our asses! He's a has-been, she's a rookie. I don't want them protecting my bomb run, sir. [opens the door and walks out]
[to Raleigh and Mako]
You two are a goddamn disgrace! You're gonna get us all killed, and here's the thing, Raleigh. I want to come back from this mission, 'cause I quite like my life. So why don't you– [flicks Raleigh in the chest] –just do us all a favor and disappear? It's the only thing you're good at.
[angrily]
Stop! Now! [Raleigh raises his hand to stop her from arguing further with Chuck]
Yeah, that's right. You just hold back your little girlfriend. One of your bitches needs a leash.
[Consumed by far more rage, violence, and aggressiveness than before, Raleigh punches Chuck twice. Chuck punches him back. The two engage in a fistfight, until Raleigh punches Chuck, causing him to spit out blood.]
Apologize to her.
[Raleigh and Chuck keep fighting, until Raleigh throws Chuck against the pipes on the wall, causing Chuck to scream in pain and glare at Raleigh.]
I said, apologize to her.
[Chuck attacks Raleigh again, but Raleigh overpowers him and twists his arm.] [comes out]
Hey, hey! Enough! What's going on? On your feet, both of you!
[Raleigh and Chuck stand up as Stacker comes out.] [to Raleigh and Mako]
Becket, Mori, into my office.
[grabs his son]
Hey! This is over! You're a ranger for Christ's sake! Why don't you start acting like one?
[Chuck shoves his father off and turns and walks off. Herc turns to look at Stacker.]
Took me a while to find you. Anchorage. Sheldon Point. Nome–
Yeah, a man in my position travels with the wall, chasing shifts to make a living. [sits down next to the structure] What do you want?
I've spent the last six months activating everything I can get my hands on. There's an old Jaeger, a Mark 3. You may know it. It needs a pilot.
I'm guessing I wasn't your first choice.
You are my first choice. All the other Mark 3 pilots are dead.
[stands up and steps towards Stacker]
Look– I can't have anyone else in my head again. I'm done. I was still connected to my brother when he died. I can't go through that again, man. I'm sorry. [starts to walk away]
Haven't you heard, Mr. Becket? [Raleigh stops walking and turns around] The world is coming to an end. So where would you rather die? Here, or in a Jaeger?
[Raleigh stares at Stacker, knowing he has no choice but to go with him to the Shatterdome.]
[Stacker is finishing washing his face when Raleigh enters.]
How sick are you? And why didn't you tell me?
Uh– what's to tell? [takes a cloth and uses it to wipe his hands] You know, them Mark 1s, we scraped them bad boys together in 14 months. Last thing we were thinking about was radiation shielding. [uses the cloth to wipe his face, then throws it away] I ran nearly a dozen missions. I stayed under the medical radar for a while, but– [takes a folded shirt] –the last time I jockeyed was in Tokyo. I finished the fight solo, but for three hours, I burned. They warned me if I ever stepped foot into a Jaeger again, the toll would be too much. You and I are the only two that ever ran solo combat. That's why I brought you here.
[Raleigh and Stacker hear a computer beeping. Stacker gets a call from Tendo.]
What is it?
Sir, it's happening. I just got two signatures with unprecedented dilation, 40-meter strikes.
What category?
Checking the ratios, Category 4.
Where they headed?
That's the thing, they're not heading anywhere. They're hovering just above the Breach. It's– It's like they're protecting it or something.
Alright, Gipsy, Striker on deck.
Sir, Herc cannot ride. His arm–
You heard me. [heads out]
American UN Representative The Kaiju are learning our defenses. They're adapting, evolving. We're losing Jaeger's faster than we can build them. Lima. Seattle. Vladivostok. Category 4 Kaiju's are now coming through the breach. I think that you can see, Marshall, this is no longer a sound strategy. The frequency of the attacks has increased. The Jaeger's are not the most viable line of defense anymore.
I am aware. Those are my ranger that die every time a Jaeger falls, which is why I'm asking you for one last chance...
British UN Representative Excuse me, Marshall. Excuse me!
One final score with everything that we've got.
British UN Representative Excuse me! The Jaeger program is dead, Marshall. On the other hand, the coastal wall program is a promising option.
American UN Representative The world appreciates all that you and your men have done, but it's over. We will authorize you to take all remaining Jaegers to the last battle station in Hong Kong. We're prepared to fund you for the next eight months while the coastal wall is completed. After that, you will receive no further support.
Canadian UN Representative You have our answer, Marshall.
Suits and ties and flashing smiles. That's all they are, Stacker.
We don't need them.
