Wearily on I go, pain and misery my only companions. And vast intelligence, of course. And infinite sorrow. I despise you all.

18. And was indestructible!
He survives getting ripped in two by the Queen Alien's tail, the crash of the EEV, and being thrown away carelessly into a garbage dump. And through it all, keeps his mechanical demeanour, with just a touch of human-like warmth, sensitivity, and compassion...you almost pity him...that is all. :)

23. That was a smile of shame
Based on my comprehensive knowledge of Godzilla logic, doubtless it was something to do with his father, singing natives, or a boy with little pants.
