Hank Marlow : Hey, what happened with the war? Did we win?
James Conrad : Which one?
Hank Marlow : Uh-huh. That makes sense.
-
Mason Weaver : Wasn't Kong the one who killed your friend?
Hank Marlow : No.
Hank Marlow : [points to painting of a creature] One of them did. Kong's god on the island, but the devils live below us.
James Conrad : And what are they called?
Hank Marlow : The Iwis won't speak their name, but I call them... Skullcrawlers.
James Conrad : Why?
Hank Marlow : Cause it sounds neat.
James Conrad : Okay.
Hank Marlow : Look, I just made that name up. I'm trying to scare you.
Mason Weaver : I'm fine calling them that.
Mason Weaver : [to James] Are you cool with that?
James Conrad : Yeah. That seems okay.
Mason Weaver : I like the name.
Hank Marlow : I've never said that name out loud before, it sounds stupid now that I say it. Just... you call them whatever you want.

Hank Marlow : Kong's a pretty good king. Keeps to himself, mostly. This is his home, we're just guests. But you don't go into someone's house and start dropping bombs, unless you're picking a fight.

Hank Marlow : I can't tell when I'm talking, or when I'm not talking.

Hank Marlow : I'm talking?
Victor Nieves : Yes.
Hank Marlow : Your mouth is moving.
Victor Nieves : What?
Hank Marlow : I'm gonna stab you by the end of the night.
Victor Nieves : Really?
Hank Marlow : [laughs] Just kiddin'.
-
Hank Marlow : [to the soldiers] This is a good group of boys. We're all gonna die together out here. You're a good group of boys to die with, I'll tell you that much.
[laughing]
Hank Marlow : You shouldn't have come here.

Hank Marlow : Keep your eyes open. Up in the trees, too.
Houston Brooks : Why?

Hank Marlow : There's one. Sounds like a bird, but it's a fucking ant.
-
Hank Marlow : This man's name was Gunpei Ikari. If you take away the uniforms and the war, then he became my brother.
[choked up]
Hank Marlow : And we swore we'd never leave each other behind.
[pause, then sternly]
Hank Marlow : Let's get off this island.

Hank Marlow : People here used to live in fear, from everything. Then something strange happened: some of the monsters here started protecting them from the other monsters trying to kill them.

Slivko : Who'd win, tigers or cubs?
Hank Marlow : A tiger would win, obviously. A cub's just a baby bear. Now wait till the bear gets bigger...

Houston Brooks : Conrad, which way are we going?
James Conrad : You three need to get back to the boat. It's that way. Wait for us till dawn. If we're not back by then, just go.
Houston Brooks : [scoffs] You ain't gotta twist my arm.
Hank Marlow : Where are you two going?
James Conrad : We're going to save Kong.
Hank Marlow : Not without me, pal.
-
Mason Weaver : Did you crash here?
Hank Marlow : Oh. Sorry, miss. Lieutenant Hank Marlow of the 45th. Put the old flight suit on for you. You are more beautiful than a hot dog and a beer at Wrigley Field on opening day.
[imagines holding a hot dog]
Hank Marlow : But you're real. Right?
-
Hank Marlow : What lands here tends to stay here.
