Metphies: [to Godzilla Earth] When those fleeting lives destined to die, forget their humbleness and sing praised of their glory, such will shake the very heavens and split the earth, and they shall know the wrath of the divine. The inevitable incarnation of destruction. So, you show yourself at last. Since we last saw each other, it has been 20 years for us and 20,000 years for you. It's been awhile... Oh, King of Destruction.

Haruo Sakaki: My demands are to leave Planet Tau-e immediately, and abandon the emigration project. Until I hear from the captain, I'm not moving from here.
-
Metphies: Were you having a nightmare?
Haruo Sakaki: So, you're here, Metphies.
Metphies: It's also my job to listen to a prisoner's confession.
Haruo Sakaki: Should I repent to your god?
Metphies: I'd settle for a fake confession, too.

Takeshi J. Hamamoto: [after hearing Godzilla's roar] M-Maybe it was thunder or...
Unberto Mori: Idiot! No one would ever forget that roar! Damn it. It's still on this planet.
-
Metphies: Godzilla is not invincible. It's humanity's fault for giving up on the fight.
Mulu-Elu Galu-Gu: That's what Harou thinks. He analyzed that old data because of you Exif's Gematron calculation. It was impossible for Earthlings at the time.
Metphies: Are you saying that, if the weak-point analysis has been made in time, that humanity still wouldn't have been victorious?
Mulu-Elu Galu-Gu: And if they did defeat Godzilla, then it was only a matter of time until Exif's cult took over Earth.
Metphies: Even if Bilusaludo's Mecha-Godzilla had defeated Godzilla, no one knows who it would have bared its fangs at next.
Mulu-Elu Galu-Gu: However, we failed in the construction of Mecha-Godzilla. And you couldn't brainwash Earthlings with your religion. That's history now. The what-ifs are only fairy tales.
-
Unberto Mori: It's been 10,000 years? That long?
Mulu-Elu Galu-Gu: It's more than I imagined.
Takeshi J. Hamamoto: This could be good news. With that much time, the ecosystem must have changed. Not even Godzilla...
Unberto Mori: I wonder. It's possible it could've multiplied.
Takeshi J. Hamamoto: That thing is a genetic aberration. It's impossible!

Martin Lazzari: Would living organisms go through such a change, even if 10,000 years have passed? We collected and analyzed the forest's plants, and by using carbon dating, I know how much time has passed. And it looks to be within a 50-year range of 19,200 years.
Haruo Sakaki: So our time away keeps increasing.
-
Metphies: Are you having foreboding thoughts?
Haruo Sakaki: If this ends without us encountering Godzilla, then why did I come here?
Metphies: Were you hoping to depend on luck? It's fine if we're actively searching, but if we pass by in a rush, then we won't find anything. That's if we were actively searching for Godzilla, right? You and Colonel Leland still don't understand one crucial aspect of that thing. It will never let humanity escape. Even more so if we've come to provoke it with a trace of fear.
Haruo Sakaki: So, it will be searching for us? Is that some divine message from god?
Metphies: It's a legend. We Exif have been wandering through space as vagrants far longer than Earthlings have, and we've witnessed many civilizations destroyed. Many have been regretfully destroyed by creatures similar to Godzilla.
Haruo Sakaki: What's that?
Metphies: He is the punishing iron hammer for the arrogant. For the species who pronounce themselves as lords of creation, a divine avenger will pay them a visit. And so, he will...

Eliott Leland: This planet can go to hell.

Haruo Sakaki: The situation is dire, so I'll skip the pleasantries. I don't have an outlook for humanity's future, and I don't have enough of a strategy to estimate our chances of winning. However, I can say this. Those who didn't yield to Godzilla can proudly welcome another day. This is not only a battle to kill Godzilla. What we are about to fight is a humiliating future with no choice but to accept despair and resignation. If we can reject and fight that, we can once again dream of hope and pride. Just as our ancestors did, who thrived here before us. That's right. If we don't retreat now, if we don't show fear, and if we put our lives on the line, we've already won. All we need to do is finish it. Humanity's 22-year nightmare, and Godzilla's 20,000-year era. I look forward to your brave efforts. That is all.

Haruo Sakaki: You bastard, I have... killed you!
[fires at Godzilla]

Martin Lazzari: You've accomplished it, Captain.
Haruo Sakaki: Because everyone believed in and supported me. I could be so daring and get this far. Even though we defeated it... What was it, really? How was it able to live for 20,000 years?
Martin Lazzari: This is just my opinion, but I think this is a different Godzilla than the one that drove us from Earth.
Haruo Sakaki: But its appearance and abilities were almost identical.
Martin Lazzari: And that's why exactly why. Life's true nature is found in change. No matter how gradual the renewal cycle may be, it's impossible to maintain the exact same appearance. So this only may be an offspring that inherited Godzilla's form and nature. Such a guess would actually be the most natural. Although the question remains of why there was only this one. Also...
Haruo Sakaki: So, there's no guarantee only one of them survived.
Martin Lazzari: I apologize if what I'm saying spoils the victory, but that is correct.
Haruo Sakaki: That's fine. Thanks to this battle, we proved that we can defeat Godzilla. Even if another one shows up, we have nothing to fear. Since we've established a valid strategy, we can be more effective next time.
Martin Lazzari: Personally, I would never want to cross a tightrope like that ever again, though.
