## Steve Martin

* Nature has a way sometimes of reminding Man of just how small he is. She occasionally throws up terrible offspring's of our pride and carelessness to remind us of how puny we really are in the face of a tornado, an earthquake, or a Godzilla. The reckless ambitions of Man are often dwarfed by their dangerous consequences. For now, Godzilla - that strangely innocent and tragic monster - has gone to earth. Whether he returns or not, or is never again seen by human eyes, the things he has taught us remain...

## Dialogue

    Goro Maki: What's that you're working on?
    Dr. Hayashida: Genetic mutation designs.
    Goro Maki: Genetic mutations. No kidding. Does it have something to do with Godzilla? I understand you lost your family to Godzilla thirty years ago. I imagine this has made you a bitter man. Was it vengeance that drove you to study Godzilla?
    Dr. Hayashida: At first. But not now.
    Goro Maki: Professor. They say Godzilla's a mutation. A monster made by intense radioactivity. Professor, is that true?
    Dr. Hayashida: He's a product of civilization. Men are the only real monsters. Godzilla's more like a nuclear weapon.
    Goro Maki: Nuclear weapon?
    Dr. Hayashida: A living nuclear weapon destined to walk the Earth forever. Indestructible. A victim of the modern nuclear age.
