Pacific Rim Quotes

Raleigh Becket Come on! Let's do this! Together!

Stacker Pentecost Do not let my calm demeanor fool you, RANGER! Now is not a good moment for your insubordination! Mako is too inexperienced to reign in her memories during combat.

Raleigh Becket Apologize to her. I said Apologize to her.

Stacker Pentecost Very effective. That tank, last of the T-90s. Chemo Alpha. First generation Mark 1. The heaviest and oldest Jaeger in the service. But make no mistake, Mr. Becket, it's a brutal war machine. And those two: Sasha and Aleksis Kaidanovsky.

Mako Mori It's not their performance, it's yours. Your gambit. You could've taken all of them 2 moves earlier.

Raleigh Becket Empty the clip, EMPTY THE CLIP!!

Stacker Pentecost On their watch it stayed unbreached for six years. Six years.

Stacker Pentecost That Kajiu is still alive!

Chuck Hansen Come on, Gipsy! Kick his ass!

Stacker Pentecost One: don't you ever touch me again. Two: don't you ever touch me again. Now, you have no idea who the hell I am or where I've come from, and I'm not about to tell you my whole life story. All I need to be to you and everybody on this dome is a fixed point. The last man standing. I do not need your sympathy or your admiration. All I need is your compliance and your fighting skills. And if I can't get that, then you can go back to the wall that I found you crawling on. Do I make myself clear?

Chuck Hansen Well, my father always said– he said "if you have a shot, you take it". So let's do this! It was a pleasure, sir.

Stacker Pentecost Today. Today– at the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we have chosen not only to believe in ourselves, but in each other. Today there is not a man nor woman in here that shall stand alone. Not today. Today we face the monsters that are at our door, and bring the fight to them. Today, we are cancelling the apocalypse!

Stacker Pentecost Crimson Typhoon, China. One of the greatest. Assembled in Changzhou. Full titanium core, no alloys. Fifty diesel engines per muscle strand. Deadly, precise fighter. She's piloted by the Wei Tang brothers. Triplets. Local lads. They've successfully defended Hong Kong port seven times. They use the Thundercloud formation.

Raleigh Becket There are things you can't fight - acts of God. You see a hurricane coming, you have to get out of the way. But when you're in a Jaeger, suddenly you can fight the hurricane. You can win.

Mako Mori I apologize, Mr. Becket, I've heard a lot about you.

Stacker Pentecost Things have changed. We're not an army anymore, Mr. Becket. We're the resistance. Welcome to the Shatterdome.

Raleigh Becket Years before, you wouldn't have picked my brother Yancy and I for heroes. No chance. We were never star athletes, never at the head of the class. But we could hold our own in a fight. And it turned out we had a unique skill - we were drift compatible.

Stacker Pentecost This conversation is over.

Mako Mori It's not obedience, Mr. Becket. It's respect.

Stacker Pentecost Haven't you heard, Mr. Becket? The world is coming to an end. So where would you rather die? Here, or in a Jaeger?

Raleigh Becket When I was a kid, whenever I'd feel small or lonely, I'd look up at the stars. Wondered if there was life up there. Turns out I was looking in the wrong direction. When alien life entered our world, it was from deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. A fissure between two tectonic plates. A portal between dimensions. The Breach. I was fifteen when the first Kaiju made land in San Francisco. By the time tanks, jets and missiles took it down, six days and 35 miles later, three cities were destroyed. Tens of thousands of lives were lost. We mourned our dead, memorialized the event, and moved on. And then, only six months later, the second attack hit Manila. Then the third one hit Cabo. And then the fourth. And then we learned, that this was not gonna stop. This was just the beginning. We needed a new weapon. The world came together, pooling its resources and throwing aside old rivalries for the sake of the greater good. To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own. The Jaeger program was born. There were setbacks at first - the neural load to interface with the Jaeger proved too much for a single pilot. A two pilot system was implemented, left hemisphere, right hemisphere, pilot-controlled. We started winning, Jaegers stopping Kaijus everywhere. But the Jaegers were only as good as their pilots. So Jaeger pilots turned into rock stars, danger turned into propaganda, Kaijus into toys. We got really good at it... winning. Then... then it all changed.

Chuck Hansen Yeah, he remembers how to turn it on.

Mako Mori For the sake of my family!

Stacker Pentecost Mako! You can finish this! I'll always be there for you! You can always find me in the drift!

Raleigh Becket The drift. Jaeger tech. Based on DARPA jet fighter neural systems. Two pilots, mind-melding through memories, with the body of a giant machine. The deeper the bond, the better you fight.

Stacker Pentecost A week, if we're lucky. My experts believe there'll be a Kaiju attack– even before that. This complex used to lodge– 30 Jaegers in five bays just like this one. Now we only have four Jaegers left.

Stacker Pentecost War clock. We reset it after every Kaiju attack. Keeps everyone focused. The frequency of attacks is accelerating.

Herc Hansen Suits and ties and flashing smiles. That's all they are, Stacker.

Mako Mori I imagined him differently.

Stacker Pentecost YOU! SHUT UP! You. Keep talking.
