Quotes 

• Walter Simmons : Where do I know you from? Oh, my goodness. Director Russell's daughter, yes?

  Madison Russell : You caused all of this.

  Walter Simmons : If by "all of this", you mean I, and I alone, have given humanity a chance against the Titans, then, yes, I will own that title.

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

• Walter Simmons : Godzilla has never attacked us unprovoked before. There are dangerous times, Dr. Lind.

• 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.

• Walter Simmons : When we started Apex Cybernetics, we dreamt of new ways to push past the limits of human potential. Robotics, the human mind, artificial intelligence. Who knows what brave new future we'll dream of next? I'm Walter Simmons, and it is my privilege to lead Apex into humanity's bold new era. We're not going anywhere. And neither are you.

• 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.

• Madison Russell : There can only be one alpha. It seems to have been providence.

  Walter Simmons : There can only be one alpha, Miss Russell. It seems to have been providence.

• Walter Simmons : What really went wrong on your brother's mission?

  Nathan Lind : When they tried to enter, they had a gravitational inversion; the whole planet's gravity reversed for a split second: they were crushed in an instant.
