Oi, show some respect. When his brother died he took the Jaeger back to shore on his own. I've known only one other pilot that's been able to do that.

Scenes with Herc Hansen
4 scenes
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.
Herc Hansen Suits and ties and flashing smiles. That's all they are, Stacker.
We don't need 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]
Herc Hansen [to his son]
Hey. [Chuck turns to him] Stay there. Give me a moment. [closes the door]
[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.
Herc Hansen [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.
Herc Hansen [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.]
Herc Hansen [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.
Herc Hansen Can you read his pulse?
Raleigh?
Herc Hansen 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.
Herc Hansen [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.]
