## Dialogue

    [About the landslide on Infant Island]
    Masako Fujita: Men destroy what nature's been building for millions of years. One day, all this will happen to Japan.
    Kenji Ando: Do you think there will be?
    [The Cosmos appear from the flowers before Takuya, Masako and Kenji's eyes]
    Masako Fujita: Hi, can you tell us who you are?
    The Cosmos: We are called the Cosmos, my friends.
    Kenji Ando: What Cosmos?
    Takuya Fujita: And, could you explain?
    The Cosmos: Earth's Cosmos; the two of us keep the Earth's natural order of things in balance. Over 12,000 years ago, there was a guardian of the Earth named Mothra. At that time, there was an advanced civilization on Earth, and the cosmos was in perfect order. But then something terrible happened; scientists created a device to control the Earth's climate. This device greatly offended the Earth.
    Masako Fujita: Offended?
    The Cosmos: The Earth is a living being. It can also be offended.
    Masako Fujita: Since its climate was controlled, was it put in any danger?
    The Cosmos: Oh yes, it was. So it created the black Mothra.
    Takuya Fujita: The black Mothra?
    The Cosmos: Yes, my friend. Battra was its name, and it was a very fierce beast. It destroyed everything that was endangering the life of the Earth, and then some. There was a fierce battle between Mothra and Battra. When Mothra finally won, Battra was laid to rest in the northern sea. When the climate controller was destroyed, there was massive flooding on the Earth, and most of the land was underwater. Mothra survived in the mountains, along with us; the Earth's Cosmos.
    [Last lines; while Mothra is waiting at the airport runway]
    Ryuzo Dobashi: What's that?
    Masako Fujita: There's going to be a huge meteorite in 1999?
    Ryuzo Dobashi: I just can't believe it.
    The Cosmos: Battra was going to stop the meteorite from landing.
    Takuya Fujita: Tell us, this meteorite, will it completely destroy the planet?
    The Cosmos: It will. Battra's been waiting around for many years. It was going to destroy the meteorite in 1999, but now Battra is dead and gone.
    Shigeki Fukazawa: Do you think Mothra will do it for us?
    The Cosmos: Mothra will do it. The large meteorite is presently on its course to Earth. Mothra will fly out and try to change its course before it reaches here.
    Takayuki Segawa: Why are they making such a sacrifice for us? That's something I'd really like to know.
    The Cosmos: Simple, because they made a promise they vowed to keep; a promise to Battra.
    Miki Saegusa: A promise? [realizes] Yes, of course.
    [Mothra screeches, telling the Cosmos that it's time to go]
    The Cosmos: [bow] Goodbye! [fly in the air, much to Midori's delight] Bye, my friends! [they fly, turns into golden scales, and land on the side of Mothra's mouth. The group backs away as Mothra takes off]
    Midori Fujita: [waving] See you later!
    [Everyone waved goodbye as Mothra flies to the sky]
    The Cosmos: [offscreen; in the people's minds] If the world lives to see another century, please remember what Mothra did for you and the planet you live on.
    [Mothra disappears towards the sky]
    Midori Fujita: Daddy, will they ever come back?
    Takuya Fujita: [smiles] Sure, they will. [looks up to Masako]
    Masako Fujita: [also smiles; to Midori] Another time, it'll be our turn to save the earth ourselves.
    [Midori nods]
