Edward, Duke of Windsor: Oils and oaths. Orbs and sceptres. Symbol upon symbol. An unfathomable web of arcane mystery and liturgy, blurring so many lines no clergyman or historian or lawyer could ever untangle any of it.
Party Guest: It's crazy.
Edward: On the contrary. It's perfectly sane. Who wants transparency when you can have magic? Who wants prose when you can have poetry? Pull away the veil and what are you left with? An ordinary young woman of modest ability and little imagination. But wrap her up like this, anoint her with oil, and hey, presto, what do you have? A goddess.

Ghidorah's cavalry was a little too late to save him, but they were here. It looked like this wasn't over after all.
Godzilla glared at the newcomers and drew himself up for battle, head up, arms ready to grapple. Battered and bruised he might be, but he was still ready to fight.
The other monsters stopped their advance; they seemed to shrink away from him, then - bowed, each in their own way.
They were standing down. Acknowledging their Alpha.
