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."
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."
