Wait. I think we took this guy out. But just to be safe, we better check for a pulse.

Pacific Rim quotes
Page 2 of 5Good morning, Becket boys!
Tendo, what's happenin', my man?
How did that date with Alison go last night, Mr. Choi?
[we see Tendo in the control room as he talks to the brothers]
Oh, she loved me. Her boyfriend, not so much.
You're gonna get your ass kicked.
[at that moment, their commanding officer, Pentecost comes up behind Tendo]
Ready to drop, Mr. Choi?
Ready to drop, sir. Marshall Pentecost on deck. Securing Conn Pod getting ready to drop.
Ready to go.
[Gottlieb rushes in while the Gipsy Danger is going through its inaugural trial run]
Marshal! Marshal! I need to talk to you.
[dismissively]
Not now, Mr. Gottlieb, I'm sure you can appreciate how important this moment is to me--
Newton created a neural bridge from garbage and drifted with a Kaiju!
[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.
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?
Okay, okay! Stacker Pentecost sent me here!
I got the name from my favorite historical figure and my second-favorite Szechuan restaurant in Brooklyn.
[Raleigh noticing Geiszler's tattoo's on his arms]
What is that, Yamarashi? [pointing to the tattoo on his arm]
This little Kaiju? Yeah, you got a good eye.
My brother and I took him down in 2017.
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.
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.
[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]
[narrating]
When I was a kid, whenever I'd feel small or lonely, I'd look up at the stars. Wondered if there was life up there. Turns out I was looking in the wrong direction. When alien life entered our world, it was from deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. A fissure between two tectonic plates. A portal between dimensions. The Breach. I was fifteen when the first Kaiju made land in San Francisco. By the time tanks, jets and missiles took it down, six days and 35 miles later, three cities were destroyed. Tens of thousands of lives were lost. We mourned our dead, memorialized the event, and moved on. And then, only six months later, the second attack hit Manila. Then the third one hit Cabo. And then the fourth. And then we learned, that this was not gonna stop. This was just the beginning. We needed a new weapon. The world came together, pooling its resources and throwing aside old rivalries for the sake of the greater good. To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own. The Jaeger program was born. There were setbacks at first - the neural load to interface with the Jaeger proved too much for a single pilot. A two pilot system was implemented, left hemisphere, right hemisphere, pilot-controlled. We started winning, Jaegers stopping Kaijus everywhere. But the Jaegers were only as good as their pilots. So Jaeger pilots turned into rock stars, danger turned into propaganda, Kaijus into toys. We got really good at it... winning. Then... then it all changed.
[we see the brothers initiating a neural handshake, effectively stepping into each other's minds]
The drift. Jaeger tech. Based on DARPA jet fighter neural systems. Two pilots, mind-melding through memories, with the body of a giant machine. The deeper the bond, the better you fight.
