Warning of Japan's Catastrophic Future
Wilson Using the Earth Union's time machine, we've been sent back here to warn you all. We wish to change incidents that are about to take place here, things that have caused catastrophe in the 23rd century. We came here to warn you all about your country's gloomy future, because in the century where we come from there's no longer a Japan.
Prime Minister How could that possibly be? And why? What's the reason for it?
Grenchko It's all a result of nuclear pollution. Very shortly, Godzilla will come back to life and wreak havoc on Japan. He'll destroy nuclear plants, and this of course will cause pollution. After that, the radiation will destroy vegetation and cause cancers, even mutations, and then, as a result of all this, your mother country will become uninhabitable and Japan will not exist.
Ryuzo Dobashi Can it be true? Would Godzilla do that to us?
Prime Minister It's unbelievable.
Wilson We have come here to save Japan from the terrible tragedy it now faces.
Prime Minister   Please tell me, sir. How do you plan on saving us?
Wilson Very simple; you must get rid of Godzilla.

Why don't you take the keys, OK? I'd rather have one of those cars. I'd rather have one of these cars that we made together, by hand. Your guys and my guys, together. You know why? Because those cars stand for something. Those cars stand for something pretty great. I'm proud of those cars. I'm taking one. Gentlemen, I'm going home in my new car!

Awakening a Sleeping Giant
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto I had intended to deal a fatal blow to the American fleet by attacking Pearl Harbor immediately after Japan's official declaration of war. But according to the American radio, Pearl Harbor was attacked 55 minutes before our ultimatum was delivered in Washington. I cannot imagine anything that will infuriate the Americans more. I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.
