Boyd Quotes in Godzilla (2014)

[first lines]

Boyd: Dr. Serizawa? Jerry Boyd. I'm warning you, it's a mess. It's just a total mess. Monarch set me in this morning. Took a look around but I told them we need you.

Boyd: [while playing Marco Polo] No fair! Louie didn't say "polo"!

Ella: Well, he can't talk.

Boyd: Can't talk? And he calls himself a Trumpeter Swan? I don't think so.

Billie: Louie can't help it. Father says he's, you know,

[whispering]

Billie: defective.

Boyd: Well, defect, Marco Polo is a talking game, and if you can't talk, you can't play!

Serena: [Seeing Louie's heart-shaped cloud] It's beautiful.

Boyd: Okay, okay, what does it say?

Serena: It says that Louie is mine, and I am his, forever.

Boyd: [Angrily, to Louie] So you can talk now, huh? Well, let's see what you have to say without your horn!

[Attacks Louie and knocks his horn into the water]

Louie: No! My voice!

Boyd: Haha, there goes your love call, songbird! Now get off my lake, and this time, don't come back!

[They fight]

Boyd: If you take away the horror of the scene, take away the tragedy of the death, take away all the moral and ethical implications that have been drilled into your head since grade one, do you know what you're left with? A 105-pound problem that needs to be moved from point A to point B.

Boyd: Allow me to be the first to say that what we have done here is *not* a good thing. It's definitely not a good thing. But it was, given the circumstances, the smart play.

Boyd: Adam, heads up.

[tosses Adam a head]

Boyd: I'm like a lighthouse! I stayed lit for you man! I never go dark.

[shouts]

Boyd: Never go dark!

Boyd: The room is covered in blow; Moore looks like he went at it with a fuckin' mountain lion.

Jonas: What did the doctors tell you about your legs?

Boyd: The doctors have nothing to do with my legs. I'll walk if it's God's will.

Jonas: God doesn't have a trucker's license.

Boyd: I believe that things happen for a reason.

Jonas: You believe that. I'm gonna run.

Fay Lowther: You don't remember me.

Boyd: I'm afraid not. Should I?

Fay Lowther: I think you should. After all, I was present on the occasion of your death.

Hart: What did you get the medal for?

Boyd: Cowardice.

Lindus: How did you get behind the enemy line?

Boyd: I froze. I was scared.

Lindus: Scared? You froze while the rest of your unit fought and died? What did you do then?

Boyd: I played dead.

Lindus: But you made it behind enemy lines.

Boyd: I was buried, with my commanding officer's half shot off head in my face, his blood running down my throat.

Lindus: So how did you take the command post?

Boyd: Something... something had changed.

Lindus: We're gonna promote you, Boyd. We could shoot you. But as you singlehandedly captured the enemy command it might set a bad precedent.

Boyd: Let me ask you something. Your dad... he's been out of work a while, right?

Griffin Bowen: Yeah, I guess.

Boyd: Hmm. That's okay. Nobody's perfect. I was just thinking about it. You know if he really wanted to make some money quick... a poltergeist abduction isn't a bad idea. Even if it turned out to be a fake. You go public with it, do some TV appearances. You get your own reality show. How cool would that be?

Griffin Bowen: We don't want a reality show. We just want Maddy back.

Boyd: You're good, kid. Very good.

Boyd: Screw it.

Shane: We're gonna have fun with you.

Boyd: I really am a fun guy to have around.

Shane: When I say fun, I mean torture.
