The Kajiu King

The Kajiu King Part 10

[Dagon's Ghost Scene]

Godzilla: Isn't this a great place?
Serena: It is beautiful. But I don't understand something. You've been alive all this time. Why didn't you come back to Pride Mountain?
Godzilla: {Climbing into a "hammock" of hanging vines} Well, I just needed to... get out on my own. Live my own life. And I did. And it's great. {He sounds almost as if trying to convince himself as well as Serena.}
Serena: {Voice catching, as though barely under control} We've really needed you at home.
Godzilla: {Quieter} No one needs me.
Serena: Yes, we do! You're the king.
Godzilla: Serena, we've been through this. I'm not the king. SpaceGodzilla is.
Serena: Godzilla, he let the kajiuraptors take over the Pride Lands.
Godzilla: What?
Serena: Everything's destroyed. There's no food. No water. All the Pokémon gone into hiding.
Godzilla Jr: What about the Legendries?
Serena: They were no much for SpaceGodzilla. Look Godzilla, if you don't do something soon, everyone will starve.
Godzilla: I can't go back.
Serena: {Louder} Why?
Godzilla: You wouldn't understand.
Serena: What wouldn't I understand?
Godzilla: {Hastily} No, no, no. It doesn't matter. Hakuna Matata.
Serena: {Confused} What?
Godzilla: Hakuna Matata. It's something I learned out here. Look, sometimes bad things happen...
Serena: Godzilla!
Godzilla: (Continuing, irritated) ...And there's nothing you can do about it. So why worry?

{Godzilla starts away from Serena, walking on a fallen tree. Serena trots back up to him.}

Serena: Because it's your responsibility!
Godzilla: Well, what about you? YOU left.
Serena: I left to find help! And I found YOU. Don't you understand? You're our only hope.
Godzilla: Sorry.
Serena: What's happened to you? You're not the Godzilla I remember.
Godzilla: You're right. I'm not. Now are you satisfied?
Serena: No, just disappointed.
Godzilla: You know, you're starting to sound like my father. {Walking away again}
Serena: Good. At least one of us does.

{Godzilla is obviously cut by the comment about his father; he tears into Serena with his words.}

Godzilla: {Angry} Listen, you think you can just show up and tell me how to live my life? You don't even know what I've been through!
Serena: I would if you would just tell me!
Godzilla: Forget it!
Serena: Fine! {Turns her head away from Godzilla, then she begins to sob}

{Godzilla walks off. Camera switch to Godzilla pacing in a field.}

Godzilla: She's wrong. I can't go back. What would it prove, anyway? It won't change anything. You can't change the past. {He looks up at the stars.} You said you'd always be there for me! But you're not. And it's because of me. It's my fault. It's my fault.

{He bows his head, choking back tears. The camera backs to a far view and then zooms over to Caesar in a nearby tree. We hear his chant.}

         Caesar's Chant:
         Asante sana!
         Squash banana!
         We we nugu!
         Mi mi apana!

{Godzilla seems slightly annoyed by the chant. He moves away. Caesar, elated by the sight of Godzilla, follows him. Godzilla lies down on a log over a pond. A rock disturbs the water; Caesar, now in a nearby tree, starts his chant again.}

Godzilla: Come on, will you cut it out? {Caesar, laughing, is doing random acrobatics in the trees nearby.} Caesar: Can't cut it out. It'll grow right back! {laughs}

{Godzilla starts walking away. Caesar follows.}

Godzilla: Creepy old man. Will you stop following me? Who are you?
Caesar: {In front of Godzilla, then right in his face.} The question is: Whooo... are you?
Godzilla: {Startled, then sighing} I thought I knew. Now I'm not so sure.
Caesar: Well, I know who you are. Shh. Come here. It's a secret.
Asante sana!
Squash banana!
We we nugu!
Mi mi apana!
