Look at them. They believe the Kaiju were sent from heaven. That the gods are expressing their displeasure with our behavior. The silly bastards.

Hannibal Chau Both ways! [shoves Newt] "A hive mentality", you said! Maybe those Kaijus are tryna find you.
Hannibal Chau [inspecting the stillborn Kaiju]
I knew it. Gone. His lungs weren't fully formed. Umbilical cord tied around his neck. No way he could survive outside the womb for more than a minute. [snaps his fingers] One look, that's all I needed. I knew he wouldn't make it. [throws his balisong at its nose]
Scenes with Hannibal Chau
3 scenes
[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!
Hannibal Chau You can, if you soak them in ammonia.
Hannibal Chau [Newt turns around and sees Hannibal approach him]
Who sent you here?
I'm afraid that's classified.
Hannibal Chau [Hannibal pulls his golden balisong and sticks the tip up Newt's right nostril]
Now, who sent you here?
Okay, okay! Stacker Pentecost sent me here!
Hannibal Chau I got the name from my favorite historical figure and my second-favorite Szechuan restaurant in Brooklyn.
Hannibal Chau I believe the Kaiju bone powder is $500 a pound. What do you want?
I need to access a Kaiju brain, completely intact.
Hannibal Chau 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.
Hannibal Chau 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.
Hannibal Chau 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.
Hannibal Chau [inspects Newton's eye]
Holy jeez. You've gone and done it, haven't you.
I did a little bit, yeah.
Hannibal Chau You goshdarn moron. [walks away]
Hang on a second. Excuse me, what's going on here.
Hannibal Chau There are 2 goshdarn Kaijus heading towards Hong Kong City.
No, that's not possible. There's-There's never been 2 before.
Hannibal Chau 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.
Hannibal Chau It sets up a connection. Both ways! [shoves Dr. Newton Geiszler] "A hive mentality", you said! Maybe those Kaijus are tryna find you.
Hannibal Chau 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]
