A speech by the Scientist before killing the monster.
But what will the world be like without monsters? These monsters are ourselves, our hope and fear. We created it and it killed us in our sleep. We saw that we were human. It does not remember its beginning because it began with us, to be formed with our history. We are so cruel I think, not that we killed him but that we put this responsibility on his ugly shoulders in the first place. He did not ask for it. We are so good at this. We talk things into reality to convince ourselves that we exist and now the most vicious blow of all to kill a creature by proving to him he is a figment of our own imagination.
The more I watch the movie, the more I see that I am that monster.

If we kill all the monsters, life would be awfully boring. Maybe let's get rid of the human monsters (they are the most vicious), and keep the rest.
