Godzilla 1985 (1985)

Ken Tanaka: Goro Maki

Quotes 

• [US Version] 

  Goro Maki : If it triggers a real volcanic eruption, Godzilla will be burned alive. What a horrible death.

  Dr. Hayashida : It won't kill him. Couldn't.

  [Goro looks on skeptically] 

  Hiroshi Okumura : What do you mean? It's gotta' kill him, Professor!

  Dr. Hayashida : The other night at the reactor... Didn't you sense it? The beast has a purpose. 30 years ago, Godzilla appeared for the first time. Before that, he was only a legend. Godzilla is a warning. A warning to every one of us. When mankind falls into conflict with nature, monsters are born. I'm just trying to... send him home.

• Goro Maki : Excuse me, sir. Are you Professor Hayashida?

  Dr. Hayashida : That's right.

  Goro Maki : Maki of Toho Press.

  Dr. Hayashida : Oh really? A reporter.

  Goro Maki : What's that you're working on?

  Dr. Hayashida : Genetic mutation designs.

  Goro Maki : Genetic mutations. No kidding. Does it have something to do with Godzilla? I understand you lost your family to Godzilla 30 years ago. I imagine this has made you a bitter man. Was it vengeance that drove you to study Godzilla?

  Dr. Hayashida : At first. But not now.

  Goro Maki : Professor. They say Godzilla's a mutation. A monster made by intense radioactivity. Professor, is that true?

  Dr. Hayashida : He's a product of civilization. Men are the only real monsters. Godzilla's more like a nuclear weapon.

  Goro Maki : Nuclear weapon?

  Dr. Hayashida : A living nuclear weapon destined to walk the Earth forever. Indestructible. A victim of the modern nuclear age.
