Quotes
-
Dr. Emma Russell : [last words] Long live... the king.
-
Dr. Emma Russell : The mass extinction we feared has already begun. And we are the cause. We are the infection. But like all living organisms, the earth unleashed a fever to fight this infection. Its original and rightful rulers, the Titans. They are part of the earth's natural defense system. A way to protect the planet, to maintain its balance. But if governments are allowed to contain them, destroy them, or use them for war, the human infection will only continue to spread. And with our lifetime, our planet will perish, and so will we. Unless we restore balance.

Dr. Emma Russell : Leave her out of this.
Alan Jonah : Why? You're the one who pulled her into it. Madison, tell me, what exactly did Mommy sell you on? Some grand utopia? Man and monster, living together in blissful harmony?
-
[more Titans are being released from other Monarch outposts]
Alan Jonah : I thought we were going to release them gradually. One at a time.
Dr. Emma Russell : I'm not doing this.
Alan Jonah : Long live the king.
Madison Russell : You're a monster.
-
Dr. Emma Russell : I can only urge you all to take refuge. Over the last sixty years, Monarch has prepared bunkers around the world to save and restart civilization. PI suggest you find them.
[pause]
Dr. Ilene Chen : That bitch!
-
Dr. Emma Russell : Containment team stand down, I repeat stand down! You are scaring her!
-
Dr. Emma Russell : Just like how a forest fire replenishes the soil or how a volcano creates new land, we have seen signs that these creatures will do the same. San Francisco, Las Vegas, wherever the Titans go, life follows, triggered by their radiation.
-
Dr. Emma Russell : [Carrying the 'titan's sound device, intrepidly traversing rickety platform bridge, facing at end humungously large larval stage insect - a moth! - 'looking' down at her] "Ok."
-
Mark Russell : You are out of your goddamn mind! First, you put our daughter's life in danger and now you get to decide the fate of the world. That's rich, Emma!
Dr. Emma Russell : I couldn't be more sane, and Madison couldn't be stronger. After we lost Andrew, I trained her to survive. And at least now, she will have a fighting chance.
Mark Russell : A fighting chance? Why don't you listen to yourself? It's not all math, Emma. Some things, you can't control.
Dr. Emma Russell : And there are some things you can't run from.
Mark Russell : This won't bring him back to us.
-
Madison Russell : I made us breakfast... It's, uh, eggs, toast and what was once bacon.
Dr. Emma Russell : And which do you recommend?
Madison Russell : [laughing] The toast and eggs.
Dr. Emma Russell : Thank you.
-
Dr. Ilene Chen : You are murdering the world.
Dr. Emma Russell : No.
-
Dr. Emma Russell : [to Mark] I'm sorry. Run.
[detonates the ice freeing Ghidorah]

Dr. Rick Stanton : And what's gonna be left, if you do this? A dead charred world, overrun by monsters?
Dr. Emma Russell : No, Doctor Stanton, the exact opposite. Just like a how forest fire replenishes the soil or how a volcano creates new land, we have seen signs that these creatures will do the same. San Francisco, Las Vegas, wherever the Titans go, life follows, triggered by their radiation. They are the only thing that can reverse the destruction that we started. They are the only guarantee that life will carry on. But for that to happen, we must set them free.
