It's " pull off a big robbery while everyone's distracted by an event ", where the event is kaiju.
The man with the plan's Marco, outlining his idea to people whose buy-in he wants.
' I could see by the look in their eyes I had convinced them- '
( Then he saw a raised hand. )

"Something that we've been talking about for a long time with this and that we've been trying to implement is something that almost feels like an American Star Wars. And I realize Star Wars is American but like a Star Wars using American iconography and history and elements like that. Even with the kind of craziness that you'll be seeing in Undiscovered Country is also using a lot of the very powerful kind of American history and imagery that we all know and grew up with. And that's everything from folklore to historical elements to geographical to architectural, all of those things that have meaning to either Americans or people outside this country; you've just sort of grown up seeing these things as part of the American landscape.
But, at the same time, we really wanted to make it crazy comic book lunacy, as Scott said. It's important to take those things and remix them and make them feel very fresh and maybe new in a way and give readers a look at America through a different lens. And if everything looks just how you're used to, you're not really going to see it through a different lens, you're going to kind of bring your own sense to those things. But if it's crazy fish monsters and rolling cities -- but those things are derived from stuff you might feel familiar with -- it's kind of a crazier trip. And that's what we're trying to do."

He has utterly honest self-knowledge. He lies and cheats the people around him, but not himself. He knows he’s a weasel and a snake. He knows that he’ll keep on betraying the people around him. He knows he’ll spend his whole life feeling guilty. He’s doomed to keep doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, and that’s a really toothsome set of ingredients. -- Si Spurrier
