Ladies and gentlemen, the Earth is alive.
Every day, it rotates constantly at a speed of 1,670 kilometers per hour.
However, if this motion were to suddenly cease...
...what would happen to us?
Excuse me...
...but such a thing is highly unlikely to occur under any circumstances.
However, there are many things in this world that we know nothing about.
You ought to know about it!
WONDERFUL WORLD SERIES SPONSORED BY PACIFIC PHARMACEUTICALS
Lately, it seems that the sea level has risen considerably.
This is caused by the melting of ice in the Arctic.
But why is the ice melting?
To find the answer, let's have a look at this chart.
Boring!
Hey, you!
Yes! It's ¥58,600, give or take five yen.
Not you! Who needs that?
Obayashi!
These soba noodles are no good. They're not fresh.
I've got an important question for you!
Tell me...as an employee of Pacific Pharmaceuticals' advertising department...
...you searched high and low to find the best TV program for us to sponsor.
Ah! The Wonderful World Series!
What's so wonderful about this scientific mumbo-jumbo?
Look at this. This series draws only 5% of viewers.
You thought this was a good idea! That's the real wonder!
Okay?
You haven't done enough research!
It's all about what the audience wants! - Right.
Do you understand what I'm saying? - Yes!
Simply put...
Simply put, there's a phone call.
Hello? Hello!
What's the matter with you?
Yes? This is Tako, department head.
What? Boring?
I know that already!
Who are you, anyway?
What?!
B...B-Boss!
You have to know what our audience wants to see! -Yes, sir!
Listen to me! That's the point of advertising!
Do you understand?! - Of course.
Presently, the nuclear sub, Seahawk, is in the Arctic Ocean.
On board are a team of scientists commissioned by the U.N. to search for clues.
Renewed strength! Renewed stamina! The driving force for active life: Pashin!
A fountain of youth! Pashin!
The Power Source, Pashin, from Pacific Pharmaceuticals!
Hey, Sakurai! What are you doing?
I thought you were a cameraman.
Come off it! I had to play the drums.
We asked for a drummer, but nobody showed up, so I had to substitute. We were in a pinch.
A pinch? Can you help me out if I'm in a pinch?
I don't have any money.
What are you talking about? This is a big deal.
I don't know...
The head of Pacific Pharmaceuticals needs us to do some heavy lifting to boost the ratings for the Wonderful World Series.
Heavy lifting? Listen, I'm not a crane operator.
You know Dr. Makioka, the botanist?
Of course. He's famous.
While researching medicinal herbs in the South Seas, he stumbled onto something big.
That's where we come in.
I really don't know. My work is here.
Dr. Makioka is waiting for you. Let's go!
Wait a minute, I've got stuff to do here...
It's fine. The director already gave the OK.
These berries come from a plant which I collected during my last expedition in the South Seas.
It is a relative of the the silver vine, or Actinidia Polygama, of the family Actinidiaceae.
It contains a certain substance that attracts the local animals.
Professor, you should submit your scientific report to the Executive Board. Please tell us more.
Oh? Very well.
My last stop was at Bougainville in the Solomon Islands.
About 100 kilometers south of it lies a small island called Faro.
According to the natives, this island has recently been experiencing some strange phenomena.
Ah, strange things are happening all over the world. The ice of the North Pole is melting, and now...
Hey...
What sort of strange phenomena do you mean?
There are legends in this area of a giant demon god.
A giant demon god? That's ridiculous.
That's just a wild rumor, right?
That's not a rumor. That's one theory.
Huh? But a demon god, that's too much...
No, no! It's an idea with punch! Call it "inspiration."
It'll make for a big boost in ratings.
And what if we strike out?
That's a risk we have to take.
This is important for all of us, even for you at TTV.
Our rivals over at Central Pharmaceuticals are planning an underwater research series on QTV with the Seahawk.
We at Pacific Pharmaceuticals, with the help of TTV, must respond with a big overseas expedition.
Fumiko!
Food!
What? Not even rice?
Damn, not again!
Fumiko!
Brother! You should really learn to knock first.
I knock when I feel like it.
No!
Good evening.
Well, it looks like I've interrupted you two.
That's silly. We haven't been up to anything.
Looks like you've had your fill already, but I'm starving.
Not for long. We're having a farewell party tonight.
Huh? Really?
That's right!
The new product of mine that's finally finished.
This is it.
What? That's sewing thread!
No, not at all. It's stronger than steel, but smooth as silk.
It's a new development of the atomic age.
Oh! W-what are you doing?!
That's dangerous!
Stop it.
I get it!
That's enough!
All with this thread.
Anyway, it's very versatile.
We want to test it, so I'm starting tomorrow on board a ship.
Oh, so that's what this farewell party is about. I thought the timing was convenient.
Oh? Are you going somewhere, brother?
Down past the equator, around the Solomon Islands.
Really? Going on a treasure hunt?
Don't I wish. We're after a giant demon god.
Oh, that sounds romantic, doesn't it?
What? I'm not going for the fun of it!
Seems a bit expensive for romance.
You're right.
Damn!
What is it?
Your fiancé's steak is a lot bigger than mine!
You're always the same. So petty.
Kazuo.
The newspaper does not belong at the table!
Hey, what's so interesting?
A glowing iceberg in the Arctic Ocean.
A glowing iceberg?
Welcome! This way, please!
WONDERFUL WORLD SERIES OVERSEAS RESEARCH EXPEDITION DEPARTURE CEREMONY
They're calling it a research expedition, but there are only two of us.
We're like Laurel and Hardy.
Public relations. It's part of the job.
Well, how about it? You're pretty popular!
Don't you think you're exaggerating a bit?
Don't be stupid. In advertising, there's no such thing as too much exaggeration.
The more, the better. Listen, all this will help boost the ratings.
I'm counting on you!
Well, it's about to start.
I hope the audience doesn't expect too much.
Welcome! Welcome!
Brother!
Thanks for inviting us. - Please have a seat.
Thanks for inviting us. - No problem.
Tell me, brother, why do you seem so depressed?
He's bearing a lot of responsibility.
Fumiko, how are those tests going? It's already been five days.
Yes...but I haven't heard from him.
Do you know the name of the ship?
The Shinsei Maru No. 2.
I think Fujita is just a little too naive.
You're no better, jumping to hasty conclusions.
Take good care of yourself, all right? - I'll take care of him.
The hasty one is over there.
Hey, the press conference is starting.
Obayashi! - Yes!
The newspaper reporters are all here, right?
No, they're all gone.
What?
They said something about a major news story.
If this isn't a major news story, then tell me what is!
Hey! It's Faro Island!
Hey.
Oh, there it is!
We're heading back, all right? - OK!
This place doesn't look very inviting.
We'll be barbecued if we're not careful.
They're coming to greet us with spears!
Is...is that the chief?
What do you think?
Yes, that's him.
Listen, Konno. Tell him that we come in friendship, okay?
And that we're not here to be barbecued.
Well?
He said, "We will do you no harm, but return home at once!"
If he insists...
Hey! If we chicken out now, it'll kill the ratings!
Tell him that we're under orders to remain here. We already have permission. We're counting on you!
No, stop!
Greetings!
Enough with the games. This...this is for you.
This is...
A transistor radio!
A transistor radio. With this, you'll have news from all over the world at your fingertips!
With this, you can learn everything! - Learn everything!
You just flip the switch, turn the dial, and then...
The cigarettes! Cigarettes!
Cigarettes.
Cigarettes, see?
Oh, no. We should have brought along some candy.
Alright, but if a policeman asks, I know nothing, right?
Hey, do you think it'll be okay now?
Of course. Our medicine did the trick!
He says, "You can stay, but if the god eats you, I'm not responsible."
Good, good, good!
Hey, wait! I don't have life insurance!
Okay, okay! Give this to him as a reward for his service.
D-demon god! The demon god!
It's the demon god.
What? That's their god?
The giant demon god is really just a thunderstorm, see? Some god!
Really?
Don't you see? For these people, the thunder represents a real-life demon god.
What's with you?
Hey...did you hear that?
I heard it...
Thunder doesn't roar like that, does it?
Knock it off!
Please don't joke like that.
I'm perking you up because you're so mopey.
There's nothing wrong with me.
It's okay, I understand.
Hey, let's have some lunch.
Whenever you're worried, you should get something to eat.
But I'm not worried.
It's no use pretending. It's all over your face.
It's about the Shinsei Maru No. 2, right?
Captain, is there nothing we can do?
We have orders to go back. It's probably due to the disturbance in the Arctic.
We have two days before the test is scheduled to end.
The Department of Maritime Security has declared a state of emergency.
I understand, but just how bad is it?
Fumiko will be worried.
This was left in the galley.
She's a pretty girl. Don't be so absent-minded.
Captain, that's mean of you.
We're stopping by at Nemuro, right?
Yes.
I'll disembark there, then.
Captain!
A message from the mainland!
The UN research vessel, Seahawk, has gone missing.
Yes, sir. An American air ambulance unit has been dispatched.
GODZILLA RETURNS MANKIND IS THREATENED AGAIN
MINISTRY OF DEFENSE
Godzilla was supposed to be dead.
It's got to be a hoax, right?
No, it's true.
Godzilla has awakened from a state of suspended animation.
Suspended animation?
Simply put, it's a kind of deep hibernation in which the normal processes of living are shut down.
I see.
In New Mexico, a frog was discovered that had been hibernating in the Earth's crust for 200 years.
Here in Japan, we found a 3,000-year-old lotus seed that bloomed.
Professor!
All I'm saying is that you shouldn't be wondering whether Godzilla has survived.
This serves as a reminder that we humans have very little understanding of the will to live.
Do you think Godzilla might come to Japan?
He's coming. - What?
I'm sure he'll come to Japan.
That is to say, he's returning.
Returning? - Yes.
Every animal remembers where it was born. I'm sure he hasn't forgotten, either. Well, then...
GODZILLA HEADING THIS WAY, PROFESSOR SHIGESAWA PREDICTS
ATTACK BY GODZILLA INEVITABLE
Newspapers, radio, TV and magazines are all shouting, "Godzilla! Godzilla! Godzilla! Godzilla!"
This is making a big boom for Central Pharmaceuticals!
And...there's a movie, too!
They're serving Godzilla kebabs in the cafeteria.
Idiots! What about the giant demon god that's devouring a gigantic advertising budget?
Y-yes...he hasn't shown up yet!
Send a telegram, a telegram!
We interrupt this program for a special bulletin on Godzilla.
Shut up!
...in the Arctic Ocean and quickly crossed the Bering Sea.
No more!
Telegram!
Yes, yes! Right away!
"I don't care how much tobacco you offer them..."
"Why haven't you found the the giant god?"
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Come on, come on!
Wait a minute.
Such a nuisance. Don't make me leave you behind!
He's appeared. - What, the god?
Godzilla! - What are you...
...Godzilla?! Where?!
Don't panic, he's in the Arctic Ocean.
What's the matter with you?
The Captain said he heard it on the radio. Luckily, Godzilla isn't our problem.
There's no need to worry. After all, we'll soon have an interview with the giant demon god.
Back off a little!
Settle down!
Konno, the camera!
Are you okay?
It's a monster! A monster!
What? It's just a lizard! Let it go!
Get it off!
Hurry! Throw it!
Run!
Hey, what are you waiting for? Hurry! Run!
Help me!
Hey, how are you? Are you okay?
Listen...let's go home.
Stop joking! This is a big scoop!
Tako would never forgive us if we didn't seize this opportunity.
I don't want to be your partner anymore.
What is it?
I asked him for the red juice. It'll help him sleep.
Konno!
Konno, what's going on?
What is it? - Konno, take that one.
What's going on? - An octopus (tako)!
What? The boss? - No, an octopus!
What the hell is he talking about?
What the...? That's a real octopus! A big one!
Be quiet! Chikiro and his mother are in trouble!
It's King Kong!
King Kong?
What's with him?
Chief...chief?
Everything's okay now. Let's go home!
What are you saying?
Let's go home... - Right. Let's go.
Konno!
...after we build a raft. - A raft?
Hey, you don't mean a raft...for that...to take that...
Shut up!
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Look! Look! Where is Godzilla? Where?
Everywhere is King Kong, King Kong, King Kong, King Kong, Obayashi! - Congratulations!
THE LEGEND EXISTS: KING KONG - Thank you, thank you!
MONSTER OF THE SOLOMONS KING KONG IN FOCUS - How about that?
MYSTERY OF THE MODERN ERA SLEEPING ON THE WAY TO JAPAN
We won't be needing any more advertising now, right?
In advertising, there's no such thing as "no more!" Don't just stand there, give us some more ideas!
Yes, sir!
Give the airline a shout and charter a helicopter!
I just don't get it. Where does he get all that energy?
It's not strange. He just wants to step on the gas again before he retires.
Say, which one is stronger between Godzilla and King Kong?
That's stupid. It's not a wrestling match.
Fantastic! There's an idea.
King Kong versus Godzilla...
Well, we're getting closer to Japan.
Come on. Get yourself together.
Mr. Sakurai, a visitor is arriving by helicopter.
Look!
Hey! Welcome!
Thank you.
Hurrah!
Captain!
Pacific Pharmaceuticals thanks you both for a job well done.
Congratulations! Well done!
Ah! Is that our King Kong?
He cuts right to the point.
He's a big hit!
Stop!
If you push that, King Kong goes "pow"!
"Pow"?
In case of an emergency, we've put TNT on the raft.
DYNAMITE
We scored a full-page display in the newspapers. Why don't we take a photo of him smiling to put in our ads?
Do you think King Kong smiles?
We get him to smile. And the catchphrase...
"Godzilla was squeezed out when Pacific Pharmaceuticals squeezed berries for its medicine."
"...squeezed out" ... "...got the squeeze" ... Which is better? Hm? Which is better?
We'll arrive in Japanese waters tomorrow. Hopefully, Kong will wake up soon.
You must be joking. He's not a baby that you can wake up at will!
Meet with me about it when you're feeling better.
Hello! Hello!
He's going to get us into trouble before too long.
A navy vessel!
Fumi! Fumi!
Oh!
What's the matter?
This is no time to be cooking. Look at the newspaper.
Something's happened to the Shinsei Maru No. 2.
"The Shinsei Maru No. 2 sank en route to the Port of Hakodate due to the sudden appearance of a giant wave."
"It is assumed that Godzilla is responsible for this disaster. No survivors have been confirmed."
We won't know anything for sure if you stick around here. You have to go there!
You're the captain of this ship?
Yes, I am.
Until further notice, you will be barred from entering Japan's territorial waters.
Who is in charge of King Kong?
I am. Pacific Pharmaceuticals.
The National Security Council, the police, and the Department of Commerce have determined that King Kong constitutes a security threat...
...and is also considered smuggled goods. Therefore, the import of King Kong has been prohibited.
Smuggled goods?
You should have gone through the proper channels.
Doesn't that violate Kong's rights?
Until a solution is found, the Department of Defense requires that the relevant party or parties...
...accept all responsibility for King Kong's actions. That is all.
Boss! Boss! - Get a hold of yourself, boss!
Hi.
What's the matter?
You have legs!
Note: In Japanese folklore, ghosts have no legs.
What? I'm not a ghost. Note: In Japanese folklore, ghosts have no legs.
The Shinsei Maru No. 2 went down!
What? Is that true?
I got off at Nemuro.
Fumi has gone to Hokkaido!
What? To Hokkaido?
Oh, please excuse the mess. Are you leaving for vacation?
No, we're evacuating to the country.
Evacuating? Did something happen?
Godzilla!
Godzilla? You're sure?
The radio reported it just now. Godzilla has landed from Matsushima Bay.
Mama, let's go see Godzilla.
Don't be silly. It's not a zoo. We have to go now.
What train did Fumi take?
The Tsugaru Express to Aomori.
Right.
Yuko, don't bother the lady.
Oh, it's no trouble.
That's very kind of you.
CURRENT MILITARY POSITION PLAN KANTO REGION
General, at 2015 hours, Godzilla passed Sendai and is still heading south.
Orders to the front unit. Until further notice, we are not to attack.
But, sir...
We would only be adding fuel to the fire.
Our focus will be to work alongside the police in moving the civilians to safety.
Yes, sir!
Send for Professor Shigesawa and the other scientists. We need them here.
Yes, sir!
Warning to the northbound train on the Tohoku line. Warning to the northbound train on the Tohoku line.
Attention, passengers. Please pardon the sudden stop. Godzilla is heading this way! Godzilla is heading this way!
No good! We're full!
Children first! - I'm leaving!
Wait!
Stop! Stop!
Go back! Go back!
What about the train passengers?
We had to leave ten or twenty of them behind!
Right! Get going!
Quick! Hurry!
Hey, wait! You're a fool! You're a fool!!
Is this everyone? - There's still a young woman back there!
Hey! Don't go! Godzilla is coming!
Fumiko!
You're all right!
Kazuo!
Hang in there!
He seems to have passed by.
You little fool.
Idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot!
According to the UN, allowing Godzilla to live would mean the end of the world as we know it.
It is therefore requested that we consider using the hydrogen bomb.
But we also have Operation Burial and Operation One Million Volts. The H-bomb should only be used as a last resort.
Professor Onuki, what do you think of Operation One Million Volts?
Without the results from the voltage test, I cannot give a definitive answer.
Where is Godzilla's present location?
Sir.
Godzilla is now in the Nasu area.
General! An emergency bulletin.
King Kong is awake?
What should we do? What should we do?
That's enough!
Captain!
Hurry! Cut the lines!
Cut the lines!
Aye!
What's their plan?
Hey! Let's do it! - Okay!
What are you doing?!
That raft has to go "pow!"
No! I am King Kong's sponsor! You can't do anything without my consent!
No you don't, Tako!
What's the matter?
Does a sponsor mean that much to you? Just for some advertisement? I don't want to die here!
Aah! What are you doing?!
Stop it! Stop it! - No! You stop it!
Shoot the dynamite with your rifle! We can blow it up that way!
No! Stop!
Godzilla's current position is in Nasu. We expect him to take this route.
We'll ignite gasoline along the river to guide him here.
When Godzilla falls into the pit, we’ll set off bombs containing poisonous gas. The end result will be the same as a gas chamber.
The general?
Over there.
General! King Kong has landed on the east coast of Chiba.
King Kong?
Yes, sir! The Third Division is in position around the Tonegawa River to observe him.
King Kong is now proceeding in a north-northeasterly direction. He is expected to reach the Nasu Plateau shortly.
According to Dr. Shigesawa, King Kong is guided by animalistic instincts. He has sensed Godzilla's presence and is approaching him.
Hey! Hey! Stop!
Halt! Halt! Halt!
Whose permission do you have to enter this...
We are representatives from Pacific Pharmaceuticals.
I am King Kong's sponsor.
Hey! Who are you? What are you doing here?
Who are you people?
I'm with Pacific Pharmaceuticals.
And we're cameramen for TTV.
This area is off limits! Get to the back and stay there!
Well, it looks like the big showdown is about to begin.
Say, which one do you think will win?
This isn't a quiz show. I have no idea.
We'll know soon enough.
Boss!
It doesn't look good, boss!
You can't lose! You can't lose!
Well, shit. It looks like Godzilla is stronger.
That can't be! Impossible!
Get into position!
One million volts. If he makes it through that, then Tokyo is lost.
There's still the backup plan. They're not taking any chances.
Professor, do you think that King Kong can now be considered inferior to Godzilla?
I can't say for sure.
Then there's a rematch?
You'd better ask King Kong himself.
Tell me, has your family evacuated?
No. It doesn't seem like anywhere is safe.
Units Five and Six have just finished.
General! All preparations for Operation Burial are complete!
Very good.
Open the valves!
Gasoline unit here. Have preparations been completed?
Everything's ready!
Understood. After we ignite, we will cover you.
Roger!
Ignite!
Take cover!
Prepare to detonate!
Ready to detonate!
Detonate!
Detonating!
Right! Move out!
Fall back! Fall back!
What? Operation Burial has failed?
Very well...
Report from a reconnaissance plane over Kasumigawa: King Kong is on the move. He's headed for Tokyo.
No! I don't want to evacuate!
Can't you understand? It's for your own safety!
You just don't get it.
Where should we evacuate to?
Where? Somewhere safe, of course!
It's one thing to run from a typhoon, but with Godzilla and King Kong, you never know where to go.
Hey, why don't you say something?
That's right...
"That's right?" We're talking about your fiancé!
It might be better...
Why so cryptic? Just say, "We should evacuate because I say so."
If it’s possible...I think we should stick together.
What?
We've promised ourselves not to separate.
That's right.
Shit! You two are getting on my last nerve!
Ladies and gentlemen, at 8:30 this evening, Godzilla passed Takasaki and is now moving in the direction of Tokyo.
Kazuo, what should we do?
You're unbelievable!
Prepare electric shock!
Start surge!
We seem to have stopped him.
No, we can't be sure yet.
King Kong is approaching!
Hey, don't push!
But... - Get back!
Hey, Sakurai.
What are you saying? One million volts even turned Godzilla back.
Once he hits those cables, he's toast!
It's too soon to say. Let's just wait and see!
What? Are you trying to say we're wrong?
Not to be contentious, but King Kong...
Alright, alright, calm down!
This is no time to argue!
And another thing, pal...
Unit 204 here. The general has just arrived.
There he is!
Boss, let's go home! Hey!
Boss!
Impressive.
Impressive!
Professor, how do you explain that?
He appears to have developed a resistance to the high voltage current.
Like an electric eel?
I don't know. You'd better ask Dr. Shigesawa.
Just a moment, Dr. Shigesawa. Is something that outlandish really possible?
There was an incident in which a postman was struck by lightning.
He survived, but his body had the ability to store electricity.
Kazuo!
Fumiko! Fumiko! - Kazuo!
Help me!
Help me! Somebody, help me!
Help me!
Lights on!
General! We must attack. Godzilla is resistant to bombs, but they may work on King Kong!
It's the only way. Order the special unit to prepare for the attack.
Yes, sir!
All units, all units...
Wait, please! King Kong has my sister!
What?
He's got her in his hand!
Hold your fire!
But how can we help your sister? We can't do much without hurting her in the process!
Damn it! You stupid idiot! Give Fumiko back! Give her back! Why did you have to take her?!
Hey! - Wait!
Fumiko! Fumiko!
Faro Island!
Faro Island?
That's right!
Go back to the studio and get the equipment! - Right!
Do you have any anesthetics?
Anesthetics?
Yes. We need to put Kong to sleep.
Ah, exactly! The Farolacton!
The red fruit that Dr. Makioka brought back from Faro.
Ah! That's right!
They've managed to extract the active ingredient!
Could you load it into some shells and shoot him with them?
Obayashi!
Did you hear? Get going! - Yes!
But what about Fumi?
It's all right. Her life is in good hands.
A brilliant idea from the mind of an adman.
If we lost King Kong, it would all be for naught, right?
Here you go.
Do you really think it'll work?
We have to try.
When I give the signal, you got and get her, okay?
Go ahead.
Open fire!
Artillery...Fire!
Damn it! - Fujita!
Now! Go!
Hey, don't just sit there! Help me out!
He's let go of her!
She's safe!
Hey!
Bring her this way!
Hurry! Hurry!
Fumiko!
Is she okay?
Fumiko! Fumiko!
Fumiko!
Brother... - Fumiko!
Kazuo! - Ambulance!
The ambulance!
Hurry! - Right!
Thank you.
General, what should we do with King Kong now?
We should let King Kong and Godzilla fight each other again. Right, Shigesawa?
King Kong has shown that he can easily withstand a shock of one million volts. I believe he may defeat Godzilla next time.
He can do it.
If we bring them together, they're certain to fight to the death. Hopefully, they will share the same fate.
Eh? The same fate?
But how can we transport him?
There's one possibility. I'm sure it can work.
We can use your "stronger than steel, smooth as silk" thread!
That's right!
Please, let us try.
Alright. Let's do it.
Yes, sir!
Commence operations!
Let's move!
The closure is secure!
Ready!
Begin inflation!
Here we go. - Right.
We'll be flying with you.
There.
Roger!
King Kong is ready for transport!
Good.
Take off!
Look!
It's working! - You're right.
"Stronger than steel, smooth as silk."
This test is a big success!
When will we reach Mount Fuji?
By dawn.
Hey! Hurry up, hurry up!
Look! He's awake!
Godzilla is right over there!
Disconnect the ropes!
That's quite a tumble.
It doesn't look good for Kong.
Damn it. Hey, you're better than that!
Damn, he's making roasted chicken out of King Kong.
There's a storm moving in. We may have to take safety measures.
That's perfect! The storm will awaken Kong's inner strength. You'll see.
Like spinach does for Popeye? - Exactly.
Halt! Halt!
The road is closed!
Ah! Atami Castle is in danger!
There's Dr. Shigesawa!
An earthquake!
Take cover!
It’s King Kong!
Professor Shigesawa, wireless from the helicopter.
King Kong is heading south. What should we do?
Let him go home.
I'm sure he misses his home in the South Seas. Just leave him be.
Boss...
It's not worth it. I give up.
Is Godzilla dead?
Well...
Do you think he survived?
You may be right.
All I can tell you is that we humans must change the way we view nature. We still have much to learn.
That's all I have to say.
