Movie quotes

  • (..) the MUTO continuing due east. All our models have the targets converging on the Pacific coast. As of now, it looks like Godzilla is still following the MUTO. He's hunting. Have our vessels maintain current distance from target. Plot the speed and heading of these things. I want to know exactly when and where they're going to make land. Yes, sir. Doctor, what did you mean by hunting? You think it's chasing this MUTO? But if the MUTO is his prey, the signal shows a call, - Why call up a predator? - No, it didn't. (..)
