[He snorts, a little amused by the idea. Newt would be a totally awesome owner of a monster sanctuary. Helping out disabled monsters, or any that couldn't be rereleased into the wild, as you do.]
Noooo, man. Nothing like that. I mean, I am totally a groupie, but no zoo for me.
[... He scratches behind Jake's ear until the guy is shrunk and away from him; what? If he digs it, then Newt's gonna be polite and keep scratching. Like a real homie.]
It's kinda complicated, but, uh — I grew up loving fictional aliens and monsters! Like, a ton. Godzilla and King Kong, creature from the Black Lagoon, the swamp monster, all the classics. You name 'em, I had a poster at one point.
... Then one day, monsters started coming up out of the ocean, stomping through humanity? And I ended up as one of the scientists who worked in an defense corps dedicated to stopping them from totally wiping us out.
And like, sure, I totally wanted to save the planet and keep people alive! But I also definitely wanted to know as much about them as possible, because they were crazy awesome. Or, you know, would be if they weren't stomping on cities.
[People never really got his appreciation for them.
That, of course, was even before he learned they were just a bunch of pawns in a grander scheme. Sure, he had hoped they were all just mindless creatures who were working on primal instinct, but... The truth was way more hideous.]
