• Ilene Andrews : [an apex robot obtains a sample of hollow earth energy]  What are you doing?

  Maia Simmons : Extracting a sample .

  Ilene Andrews : This is a power beyond our understanding. You can't just drill into it.

  Maia Simmons : Actually we can. My father gets what he wants. That's Alex property now.

  Ilene Andrews : What?

  Ren Serizawa : [from above at Apex cybernetics]  energy signature incoming. We should be able to recreate it soon.

  Ilene Andrews : [to Maia]  That is the discovery of the millennium. You can't strip it for parts.

  Maia Simmons : Hold it.

  [Apex soldiers hold guns on them] 

• Walter Simmons : [the upload is complete]  Yes. Mr. Serizawa start your engines!

  Ren Serizawa : The upgrade is untested. Once we get online, Gojira will come straight for us.

  Walter Simmons : He's been coming for us since our creation first awoke. We must embrace it.

  Ren Serizawa : We shouldn't rush this. We have no idea how this energy source will affect the Mecha.

  Walter Simmons : Get in the goddamn chair.

• Nathan Lind : Can I help you? If you want an appointment, my office hours are nine to five.

  Walter Simmons : Please, Dr. Lind.

  Nathan Lind : What the f...

  Walter Simmons : Guys like you and me, we don't do normal hours, do we? I've been fixated on Hollow Earth for as long as you have. Your theory that it's the birthplace of all Titans is fascinating. Your book was very impressive.

  Nathan Lind : Oh, yeah? Well, I got about 30 unsold boxes in my apartment if you want some.

  Walter Simmons : [introducing himself]  Walt Simmons.

  Nathan Lind : I know who you are, sir. It's an honor.

  Walter Simmons : No, the honor is mine. As is the urgency. Godzilla has never attacked us unprovoked before. These are dangerous times, Dr. Lind. Allow me to introduce our Apex chief technology officer, Mr. Ren Serizawa. He has an interesting thing to show you.

  Ren Serizawa : Magnetic imaging from one of our new satellites. You know what this is, right?

  Nathan Lind : Hollow Earth.

  Walter Simmons : An ecosystem as vast as any ocean, right beneath our feet.

  Nathan Lind : This energy signal is enormous.

  Ren Serizawa : And almost identical to readings from Gojira.

  Walter Simmons : As our sun fuels the planet's surface, this energy sustains the Hollow Earth, enabling life as powerful as our aggressive Titan friend. If we can harness this life force, we'll have a weapon that can compete with Godzilla. I need your help to find it.

  Nathan Lind : I don't know if I'm the right guy for the job. Did you read the reviews? A sci-fi quack trading in fringe physics. Look where they put my office. I'm in the basement right across from flute class. Besides, I'm not with Monarch anymore. And Hollow Earth entry is impossible. We tried.

  Walter Simmons : I'm sorry about your brother. He was a true pioneer.

  Nathan Lind : Thanks.

  Walter Simmons : See, all of our forward scans suggest a habitable environment down there. So, what really went wrong on your brother's mission?

  Nathan Lind : When they tried to enter, they hit a gravitational inversion. A whole planet's worth of gravity reversed in a split second. They were crushed in an instant.

  Walter Simmons : What if I told you that we, at Apex, have created a phenomenal craft which could sustain such an inversion? The Hollow Earth Aerial Vehicle. HEAV. We can make the journey to Hollow Earth possible, Dr. Lind. But we need you to lead the mission. Help me. Help everyone. Finding this needle in a haystack is our best shot against Godzilla.

  Nathan Lind : Well, I, uh, might have an idea. But it's crazy.

  Walter Simmons : I love crazy ideas. They made me rich.

  Nathan Lind : Are you guys familiar with genetic memory? It's a theory that all Titans share a common impulse to return to their evolutionary source.

  Ren Serizawa : Like spawning salmon.

  Nathan Lind : Exactly. Or a... Or a homing pigeon. So if this is the Titans' home and this life force sustains them...

  Ren Serizawa : A Titan could show you the way.

  Nathan Lind : Yeah. With a little help of an old colleague.
