Dr. Daisuke Serizawa : If my device can serve a good purpose, I would announce it to everyone in the world! But right now, it's nothing but a weapon of mass destruction. Please understand!
Hideto Ogata : I do understand. But if we don't stop Godzilla now, what's to become of us?
Dr. Daisuke Serizawa : Ogata, if the Oxygen Destroyer is used even once, the politicians of the world won't stand idly by. They'll inevitably turn it into a weapon. Bombs versus bombs, missiles versus missiles. As a scientist - no, as a human being - adding another terrifying weapon to humanity's arsenal is something I can't allow.
Hideto Ogata : Then what do we do about the horror before us now? Just let it happen? Only you can save us from this tragedy. Even if you use the device to defeat Godzilla, how can it be used as a weapon, if you don't publish your research?
Dr. Daisuke Serizawa : Ogata, we human beings are weak creatures. Even if I burn my notes, everything is still in my head. As long as I'm alive, who can say I wouldn't be coerced into using it again?
