Quotes4

  • [last lines]
  • Dr. Kyohei Yamane: I can't believe that Godzilla was the last of his species. If nuclear testing continues, then someday, somewhere in the world, another Godzilla may appear.
  • Chief of Emergency Headquarters: Professor, we're really at a loss. If this continues, we'll soon have to close our international shipping lanes. Do you have any ideas? Even the slightest hint would help.
  • Dr. Kyohei Yamane: Indeed...
  • Chairman of Diet Committee: Professor Yamane, I'll be blunt. We want to know if there is a way to kill Godzilla.
  • Dr. Kyohei Yamane: Impossible. Godzilla was baptized in the fire of the H-bomb and survived. What could kill it now? Right now, our priority should be to study its incredible power of survival.
  • Representative: Professor, how can you know H-bombs are to blame?
  • Dr. Kyohei Yamane: Because Geiger counter readings of the sand indicate the presence of strontium-90. Professor Tanabe will explain more about that in a moment, but in brief, we discovered high levels of radation of the kind produced only by H-bombs in this sand from Godzilla's body.
  • [as Yamane concludes his discussion]
  • Dr. Kyohei Yamane: The physical evidence allows us to conclude that Godzilla is emitting high levels of H-bomb radiation.
  • Professor Tanabe: What is it?
  • Dr. Kyohei Yamane: Professor Tanabe... I saw it! A creature from the Jurassic Era!
  • Professor Tanabe: Where?
