Quotes 

• [Gottlieb rushes in while the Gipsy Danger is going through its inaugural trial run] 

  Gottlieb : Marshal! Marshal! I need to talk to you.

  Stacker Pentecost : [dismissively]  Not now, Mr. Gottlieb. I'm sure you can appreciate how important this moment is to me.

  Gottlieb : Newton created a neural bridge from garbage and drifted with a Kaiju!

• Stacker Pentecost : Mr. Becket, this is our research team. Dr. Gottleib and Dr. Geiszler.

  Dr. Newton Geiszler : Oh, no, call me Newt. Only my mother calls me doctor. Hermann, these are human beings. Why don't you say hello?

  Gottlieb : I asked you not to refer to me by my first name when I'm around others.

• Gottlieb : This is all wrong! There should be three Kaijus coming through, not two!

  Dr. Newton Geiszler : There should be three and there's two? I'm sorry, it hurts to be wrong, don't it, Hermann?

  Gottlieb : I am not wrong, but there is something here we don't understand.

  Dr. Newton Geiszler : Okay. Hermann, we can hopefully argue about any mistakes you made in your your predictive model in the future. But in the meantime, the neural interfaces are way off the charts! If you want to help, help with that.

  Gottlieb : Newton, I am not wrong. There is only one way to make sure... and that is to do this... together. I'll go with you. That's what the Jaeger pilots do, share the neural load.

  Dr. Newton Geiszler : You're serious? You - You would do that for me? Or would do that with me?

  Gottlieb : Well, with worldwide destruction a certain alternative... Do I really have a choice?

  Dr. Newton Geiszler : Then say it with me, my man: "We're gonna own this bad boy!"

  Gottlieb : By Jove, we are going to own this thing for sure!

• Raleigh Becket : [notices Dr. Geiszler's tattoo]  Who is that, Yamarashi?

  Dr. Newton Geiszler : Oh, this little Kaiju? Yeah, you got a good eye.

  Raleigh Becket : My brother and I took him down in 2017.

  Dr. Newton Geiszler : You know, he's one of the biggest Category 3s ever. He was 2,500 pounds of awesome.

  [Raleigh gives him a cold look] 

  Dr. Newton Geiszler : Or awful. You know, whatever you wanna call it.

  Gottlieb : Please excuse him. He's a Kaiju groupie. He loves them.

  Dr. Newton Geiszler : Shut up, Hermann, I don't love them, okay? I study them. And unlike most people, I wanna see one live and up close one day.

  Raleigh Becket : Trust me, you don't want to.

• Gottlieb : Numbers do not lie. Politics, poetry, promises, these are lies. Numbers are the closest we get to the handwriting of god.
