"[last words] Raleigh, listen to me! You need– [gets dragged out by Knifehead]"

"[to Raleigh] Hey, kid, don't get cocky."

"Where is my goddamn shoe?"

"[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]"

"Both ways! [shoves Newt] "A hive mentality", you said! Maybe those Kaijus are tryna find you."

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

"Now tell me what you want before I gut you like a pig and feed you to the skin louse."

It was the dinosaurs! But the atmosphere wasn't conducive, right? So they waited it out, and they waited it out... and now, you know, with the ozone depletion, the carbon monoxide, polluted waters, well, we practically terraformed it for them! 'Cause now they're coming back, and it's perfect! See, the first wave, that was just the hounds! Categories 1 to 4, it was nothing! Their sole purpose was to aim for the populated areas and take out the vermin: us! The second wave, that is the exterminators, and they will finish the job! And then, the new tenants will take possession!"

"2,500 tons of awesome– Or awful. You know, whatever you wanna call it."

"Fortune favours the brave, dude."

"This is Marshall Hercules Hansen. The Breach is sealed. Stop the clock!"

"You and I are the only thing standing between that ugly beast and a city of two million people! Now we have a choice here: we either sit and wait, or we take these flare guns and do something really stupid!"

"Oi, show some respect. When his brother died, he got the Jaeger back to shore on his own. I've known one other pilot that's been able to do that."

"Suits and ties and flashing smiles. That's all they are, Stacker."
