Dialogue

edit
News reader: The major cities of the world are being destroyed one-by-one by the monsters: Moscow by Rodan, Peking by Mothra, London by Manda, Paris by Baragon. And, here's a special news bulletin: Godzilla is now in New York City. The city is being invaded by Godzilla!

Major Tada: I didn't think Tokyo would escape this terror, but Rodan, Godzilla, and Manda are all here at the same time.
Enraged soldier: That's correct. New York, London, Moscow - they were all very unlucky.
Announcer: Emergency! Emergency! Mothra is now in District Number 5.

Kilaak Queen: Ghidorah is a space monster. The monsters from Earth cannot win. I will get in touch with you, when you feel like giving up.
