Pacific Rim Quotes
Stacker Pentecost: Today. Today... At the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we have chosen not only to believe in ourselves, but in each other. Today there is not a man nor woman in here that shall stand alone. Not today. Today we face the monsters that are at our door and bring the fight to them! Today, we are *canceling* the apocalypse!
Movie: Pacific Rim
Herc Hansen: Now, you and I are the only thing standin' between that ugly bastard and a city of 2 million people! Now we have a choice here: we either sit and wait, or we take these flare guns and do something really stupid.
Movie: Pacific Rim
Stacker Pentecost: One: don't you ever touch me again. Two: don't you ever touch me again. Now, you have no idea who the hell I am, or where I've come from, and I'm not about to tell you my whole life story. All I need to be to you and everybody on this dome is a fixed point. The last man standing. I do not need your sympathy or your admiration. All I need is your compliance and your fighting skills. And if I can't get that, then you can go back to the wall that I found you crawling on. Do I make myself clear? [Raleigh nods. Stacker turns his head away and gestures to his ear. Beckett grimaces, leans closer, and speaks]
Raleigh Becket: Yes, sir.
Stacker Pentecost: Good.
Raleigh Becket: Yes, sir.
Stacker Pentecost: Good.

Stacker Pentecost: Haven't you heard, Mr. Beckett? The world is coming to an end. So where would you rather die? Here? Or in a Jaeger?
Movie: Pacific Rim
Raleigh Becket: Wait. I think this guy's dead. But let's check for a pulse.
Mako Mori: Okay. [They turn the Jaeger around and fire the plasma cannon into the Kaiju four more times, exploding its chest]
Raleigh Becket: No pulse.
Mako Mori: Okay. [They turn the Jaeger around and fire the plasma cannon into the Kaiju four more times, exploding its chest]

Dr. Newton Geiszler: Hey! Guess who's back, you one-eyed bitch? And you owe me a kaiju brain.
Movie: Pacific Rim
[first lines] Raleigh Becket: [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. [pause]
Raleigh Becket: 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 attack, and moved on. And then, only six months later, the second attack hit Manila.
Newscaster: [on TV]The acid factor of the Kaiju blood creates a toxic phenomenon known as Kaiju Blue
Raleigh Becket: Then the third one hit Cabo. And then the fourth. And then we learned this was not gonna stop. This was just the beginning. We needed a new weapon. The world came together, pooling it's 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.

[Gottlieb rushes in while the Gipsy Danger is going through its inaugural trial run] Gottlieb: Marshal! Marshal! I need to talk to you.
Stacker Pentecost: [dismissively]Not now, Mr. Gottlieb. I'm sure you can appreciate how important this moment is to me.
Gottlieb: 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] Dr. Newton Geiszler: Oh, my God! Oh, my God, this place is heaven! That's a - that's a lymph gland from a Category 2! And, and, and what you working on here? Is this a cuticle? In mint condition? Is that a Kaiju skin parasite? I - I've never seen them alive before. They - they usually *die* as soon as the Kaiju falls! I thought you *couldn't* keep them alive!
Hannibal Chau: You can if you soak them in ammonia. [Newt turns around and sees Hannibal. Hannibal approaches him]
Hannibal Chau: What do you want?
Dr. Newton Geiszler: I'm looking for Hannibal Chau. I was told he was here.
Hannibal Chau: [stops]Who wants to know?
Dr. Newton Geiszler: I really can't say. [Hannibal pulls his golden balisong and sticks the tip up Newt's right nostril]
Dr. Newton Geiszler: Ahh! Ahh! Stacker Pentecost sent me! [Hannibal pulls balisong off Newt's nostril]
Dr. Newton Geiszler: Ahh! Ahh! Oh, that's great! That's real great! So I take it you're - you're Hannibal Chau, right?
Hannibal Chau: You like the name? I took it from, uh, my favorite historical character and my second-favorite Szechuan restaurant in Brooklyn. Now tell me what you want, before I gut ya like a pig and feed you to the skin louse!

Hannibal Chau: 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. One look, that's all I needed. I knew he wouldn't make it. [Hannibal throws his golden balisong into the baby Kaiju's head and pulls it out]
Hannibal Chau: Ugly bastard. Anyway, I woulda... [the baby Kaiju rises and eats him before finally dying]

Gottlieb: This is all wrong! There should be three Kaijus coming through, not two!
Dr. Newton Geiszler: There should be three and there's two? I'm sorry, it hurts to be wrong, don't it, Hermann?
Gottlieb: I am not wrong, but there is something here we don't understand.
Dr. Newton Geiszler: Okay. Hermann, we can hopefully argue about any mistakes you made in your your predictive model in the future. But in the meantime, the neural interfaces are way off the charts! If you want to help, help with that.
Gottlieb: Newton, I am not wrong. There is only one way to make sure... and that is to do this... together. I'll go with you. That's what the Jaeger pilots do, share the neural load.
Dr. Newton Geiszler: You're serious? You - You would do that for me? Or would do that with me?
Gottlieb: Well, with worldwide destruction a certain alternative... Do I really have a choice?
Dr. Newton Geiszler: Then say it with me, my man: We're gonna own this bad boy!
Gottlieb: By Jove, we are going to own this thing for sure!
Dr. Newton Geiszler: There should be three and there's two? I'm sorry, it hurts to be wrong, don't it, Hermann?

Dr. Newton Geiszler: I need to access a Kaiju brain. Completely intact.
Hannibal Chau: No, no, no. The skull plate is so dense that by the time you drill into it...
Dr. Newton Geiszler: The brain's rotted away. But I'm talking about the secondary brain. Now we both know that the Kaiju are so large they need two brains to move around, like a dinosaur. I want to get my hands on that.
Hannibal Chau: Mm. What the hell do you want a secondary brain for, anyway? I mean, every part of the Kaiju sells. Cartilage, spleen, liver. Even the crap! One cubic meter of crap has enough phosphorus in it to fertilize a whole field!
Hannibal Chau: No, no, no. The skull plate is so dense that by the time you drill into it...

Chuck Hansen: Hey. Hey, handsome. Oh, I'm gonna miss you. [Stands back up to his father]

Dr. Newton Geiszler: You know, he's one of the biggest Category 3s ever. He was 2,500 pounds of awesome. [Raleigh gives him a cold look]
Dr. Newton Geiszler: Or awful. You know, whatever you wanna call it.
Gottlieb: Please excuse him. He's a Kaiju groupie. He loves them.
Dr. Newton Geiszler: 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.
