Quotes:
[US version]::Steve Martin: Nature has a way sometimes of reminding Man of just how small he is. She occasionally throws up terrible offspring's of our pride and carelessness to remind us of how puny we really are in the face of a tornado, an earthquake, or a Godzilla. The reckless ambitions of Man are often dwarfed by their dangerous consequences. For now, Godzilla - that strangely innocent and tragic monster - has gone to earth. Whether he returns or not, or is never again seen by human eyes, the things he has taught us remain...
[US version]::Bum: Run for your lives! Let's do lunch sometime!
Dr. Hayashida: When mankind falls into conflict with nature, monsters are born.
[US Version]::Goro Maki: When the bomb triggers a real volcanic eruption, Godzilla will be burned alive. What a horrible death.::Dr. Hayashida: It won't kill him. Couldn't.::[Goro looks on skeptically]::Hiroshi Okumura: What do you mean!? It's gotta' kill him, Professor!::Dr. Hayashida: The other night at the reactor... Didn't you sense it? The beast has a purpose. 30 years ago, Godzilla appeared for the first time. Before that, he was only a legend. Godzilla is a warning. A warning to every one of us. When mankind falls into conflict with nature, monsters are born. I'm just trying to... send him home.
[Japanese version]::[to Godzilla, who's outside the window of the building]::Bum: What are you doing here? You have the rest of Shinjuku to play with!
Prime Minister Mitamura: [US version] Godzilla... I was hoping I would never hear that name again.
