Quotes
-
Stacker Pentecost : Today. Today... At the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we have chosen not only to believe in ourselves, but in each other. Today there is not a man nor woman in here that shall stand alone. Not today. Today we face the monsters that are at our door and bring the fight to them! Today, we are *canceling* the apocalypse!

Stacker Pentecost : One: don't you ever touch me again. Two: don't you ever touch me again. Now, you have no idea who the hell I am, or where I've come from, and I'm not about to tell you my whole life story. All I need to be to you and everybody on this dome is a fixed point. The last man standing. I do not need your sympathy or your admiration. All I need is your compliance and your fighting skills. And if I can't get that, then you can go back to the wall that I found you crawling on. Do I make myself clear?
[Raleigh nods. Stacker turns his head away and gestures to his ear. Beckett grimaces, leans closer, and speaks]
Raleigh Becket : Yes, sir.
Stacker Pentecost : Good.

Stacker Pentecost : Haven't you heard, Mr. Beckett? The world is coming to an end. So where would you rather die? Here? Or in a Jaeger?
-
Stacker Pentecost : Mr. Becket, this is Mako Mori. One of our brightest. Also in charge of the Mark 3 restoration program. She personally handpicked your co-pilot candidates.
Mako Mori : [speaks Japanese to Pentecost] I imagined him differently.
Raleigh Becket : Hey.
[speaks Japanese]
Raleigh Becket : Better or worse?
Mako Mori : [speaks Japanese] I apologize, Mr. Becket. I've heard a lot about you.

[Gottlieb rushes in while the Gipsy Danger is going through its inaugural trial run]
Gottlieb : Marshal! Marshal! I need to talk to you.
Stacker Pentecost : [dismissively] Not now, Mr. Gottlieb. I'm sure you can appreciate how important this moment is to me.
Gottlieb : Newton created a neural bridge from garbage and drifted with a Kaiju!
-
Stacker Pentecost : Mr. Becket, this is our research team. Dr. Gottleib and Dr. Geiszler.
Dr. Newton Geiszler : Oh, no, call me Newt. Only my mother calls me doctor. Hermann, these are human beings. Why don't you say hello?
Gottlieb : I asked you not to refer to me by my first name when I'm around others.

Stacker Pentecost : Do not let my calm demeanor fool you, *RANGER*! Now is not a good moment for your insubordination! Mako is too inexperienced to reign in her memories during combat.
Raleigh Becket : That's not why you grounded her. I was in her memories. I saw everything.
Stacker Pentecost : I don't care what you think you saw.
[Cut to scene of Mako's memory of being rescued as a child by Pentecost]
Raleigh Becket : I know what she means to you. I saw it, I-
[Pentecost turns and leaves the room]
Raleigh Becket : Hey. Hey!
[Raleigh follows him]
Stacker Pentecost : This conversation is over.
Raleigh Becket : Marshall. Marshall! Can we just talk about this for one second?
[Grabs Pentecost's arm from behind. Pentecost pulls his arm away as he turns to Becket]
Raleigh Becket : You rescued her. You raised her. But, you're not protecting her now. You are holding her back.
Stacker Pentecost : One: Don't you ever touch me again. Two: Don't you ever touch me again. Now. You have no idea who the Hell I am or where I've come from. And I am not about to tell you my whole life story. All I need to be to you and everybody else on this dump is a fixed point. The last man standing. I do not need your sympathy or your admiration. All I need is your compliance and your fighting skills. And if I can't get that, then you can go back to the wall I found you crawling on. Do I make myself clear?
[Becket nods in resignation. Pentecost turns his head toward him and points to his ear]
Raleigh Becket : Yes, sir.
Stacker Pentecost : Good.
