Joe Brody Quotes in Godzilla (2014)

Joe Brody: You're not fooling anybody when you say what happened 15 years ago was a natural disaster. Not an earthquake, it wasn't a typhoon. Okay? So stop... Look, I'm tired of talking to you about this. I want my son. I wanna see my son. I wanna know that he's all right. This guy, this guy knows. He knows where he is. Musuko wa dokoda? I want my son. And I want my bag and discs. And I wanna talk to somebody in charge, not you. No, not you. I'm done talking to you. All right? You're looking at me right now, like I'm in a fish tank, right? That's fine. Because I know what happened here. And you keep telling everybody that this place is a death zone, but it's not! You're lying. Because what's really happening is that your hiding something out there. I'm right, aren't I? My wife died here! Something killed my wife. And I've a right to know! I deserve answers!

Joe Brody: See? There it is again! That is not a transformer malfunction, that is an electromagnetic pulse! And it effects everything from miles and miles, and it is happening again! This is what caused everything to happen in the first place! Can't you see that? And it's gonna send us back to the Stone Age! You have no idea what's coming.

Joe Brody: [to Ford] Go home to your family. You keep them safe. Okay? Whatever it takes.

Joe Brody: I have to go back to our house. I need my old disks, if they're still there. I need the data to be able to prove a baseline here that this isn't a fantasy, that I'm not what you think I am. I'm gonna find the truth and end this. Whatever it takes.

Ford Brody: Why can't you just let it rest?

Joe Brody: Because I sent her down there, son.

[from trailer]

Joe Brody: I'm not crazy.

Joe Brody: I have to go! I came back here and I wasted six years staring through that barbed wire, thinking it was a military mistake or some horrible design flaw that they were covering up. One day... I met a guy who runs a cargo boat offshore. Every day he goes right past the reactor site. So he places a couple frequency monitors on bouys for me. Two weeks ago... I check this thing like every other day just for the kick in the teeth. Two weeks ago, I'm tuning in and, oh, my God... there it is. Whatever "it" is, that's in there. Whatever it is they're guarding so carefully... started talking again. And I mean talking.

Joe Brody: To hell with this!

Joe Brody: [Kay and his gang are trying to rape Thora, but Joe comes along] I would hate to interrupt, but I believe a little foreplay would get you boys a better response.

Kay: Who the hell are you?

Joe Brody: Joe Brody.

Kay: Well, Mr. Joe Brody, this ain't none of your business. Somebody get this idiot out of my face.

Kay: Come on, baby, shoot me. You can do it, I know that you can.

Joe Brody: [to Thora] Do as the man says.

Kay: You better do it because I'm not gonna forget your face.

Joe Brody: Shoot him.

[Thors hesitates and lowers the gun]

Joe Brody: Don't press your luck, pal.

Kay: You should've killed me, honey 'cause now I'm gonna have to plague your sweet ass.

Thora: Would you like a shower?

Joe Brody: You mean like a water shower, huh?

Thora: Of course, how else could you wash?

Joe Brody: Hey, get off, and don't play with a man's bike without asking first.

Randy: I wasn't really playing. I was just...

Joe Brody: Yeah, right.

Aragon: How is it going, soldier?

Joe Brody: I got a couple of questions, chief. I wanna know why I wasn't told there were civilized people on Earth? And why you don't want them to activate "The Amarant"?

Aragon: There're simply things you do not understand.

Joe Brody: You were gonna kill all those people, weren't you, chief? Men, women, children, everyone, weren't you? Tell me the truth, chief, please, were you gonna kill all those people?

Aragon: It's a better way to start over, build a new society, don't make the mistakes mankind made in the past. Think of it, Joe, imagine the possibility...

Joe Brody: Imagine this!
