2 quotes Dr. Newton Geiszler Dr. Newton Geiszler See, the first wave, that was just the hounds! Categories 1 to 4, it was nothing! Their sole purpose was to aim for the populated areas and take out the vermin: us! The second wave, that is the exterminators, and they will finish the job! And then, the new tenants will take possession!

[Raleigh noticing Geiszler's tattoo's on his arms]
What is that, Yamarashi? [pointing to the tattoo on his arm]
Dr. Newton Geiszler This little Kaiju? Yeah, you got a good eye.
My brother and I took him down in 2017.
Dr. Newton Geiszler You know he was one of the biggest Category 3's ever? He was 2,500 tons of awesome. [there's a moment's pause as Raleigh gives him a cold look] Or awful. You know, whatever you wanna call it.
Please excuse him. He's a Kaiju groupie, he loves them.
Dr. Newton Geiszler Shut up, Hermann! I don't love them, okay? I study them. And unlike most people, I wanna see one live and up close one day.
Trust me, you don't want to.
Dr. Newton Geiszler [Newt enters Hannibal Chau's secret lab, where workers are busy dissecting and examining Kaiju body parts. He is astonished by the amount of Kaiju parts in perfect condition]
Is that a cuticle? In mint condition?! Is that a Kaiju skin parasite?! I've never seen one alive before, I thought it was impossible to keep them alive!
You can, if you soak them in ammonia.
Dr. Newton Geiszler I'm afraid that's classified.
[Hannibal pulls his golden balisong and sticks the tip up Newt's right nostril]
Now, who sent you here?
Dr. Newton Geiszler Okay, okay! Stacker Pentecost sent me here!
Dr. Newton Geiszler [Hannibal pulls balisong off Newt's nostril]
You're Hannibal Chau?
I got the name from my favorite historical figure and my second-favorite Szechuan restaurant in Brooklyn.
I believe the Kaiju bone powder is $500 a pound. What do you want?
Dr. Newton Geiszler 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--
Dr. Newton Geiszler 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?
Dr. Newton Geiszler 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?
Dr. Newton Geiszler It's fascinating how their minds work. Every single Kaiju, his mind's connected. The species has, like a-like a hive mind.
Dr. Newton Geiszler I did a little bit, yeah.
You goshdarn moron. [walks away]
Dr. Newton Geiszler Hang on a second. Excuse me, what's going on here.
There are 2 goshdarn Kaijus heading towards Hong Kong City.
Dr. Newton Geiszler 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?
Dr. Newton Geiszler 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.
Dr. Newton Geiszler [shocked]
What are you gonna do?
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]
There are 2 Kaiju signatures at the Breach, not 3 like I predicted.
Dr. Newton Geiszler Hermann, I haven't exactly had a very good day, okay? I've got about 5 minutes...
Should be 3.
Dr. Geiszler ...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.
Dr. Geiszler 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.
Dr. Geiszler [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.
Dr. Geiszler 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?
Dr. Geiszler 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]
