[Newt enters Hannibal Chau's kaiju herbal store]

Wizened Man: Pss-psst. You looking for some kaiju bone powder?

Dr. Newton Geiszler: S-some bone...? Some bone powder? Uh, no, why would I want that?

Wizened Man: [Gives gesture of erection] Male potency. I take it myself.

Dr. Newton Geiszler: I see. Uh, no, thank you.

[Showing card that has Chau's logo]

Dr. Newton Geiszler: I'm- I- I'm looking for Hannibal Chau.

Wizened Man: Come.

Wizened Man: [Wizened Man approaches shelves and opens a secret entrance] Hannibal Chau, huh? Good luck.

[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!
