Wonder Woman Quotes

President's Advisor: Mr. President, the threat has been neutralized.

The President: How?

President's Advisor: It seems by a group of armored supermodels.

Hippolyta: Here the true nature of men is laid bare. What other depraved thoughts must you be thinking?

Col. Steve Trevor: God, your daughter's got a nice rack.

[first lines]

Ares: You seem as eager to meet me on the battlefield as you once did in the bedroom, Hippolyta.

Hippolyta: I only hope you prove more skilled in this arena, Ares.

[swordfight ensues]

Ares: [standoff] You need not worry for me. This carnage feeds my soul. Every arrow shot and life wasted strengthens me so that not even a woman scorned will save mankind from my wrath.

[enraged, Hippolyta charges at him]

Ares: For you may be the Queen of the Amazons, but I am the God of War.

Artemis: I assure you, Alexa, a sharp blade and a strong arm will do more good now than a quote from some dead philosopher.

Alexa: I do not belong on this killing field, sister. I am no warrior.

Artemis: That you are not. But if you cannot fight like an Amazon, you will at least die like one.

[Alexa whimpers at the sight of her foe, and cowers]

Artemis: You truly are helpless, aren't you, little one?

Wonder Woman: Surrender. You cannot escape.

Steve Trevor: Oh, I don't know about that, angel. I've made a hobby out of fleeing chasing women.

Steve Trevor: So the queen's kid, you know, the hot chick?

Artemis: Princess Diana.

Steve Trevor: Yeah, her. So, what's her deal?

Artemis: Her deal is that I will personally castrate you if you come within five yards of her.

Alexa: There's a quote in which I find the courage to face the unknown. "As a rock on the seashore he standeth firm, and the dashing of the waves disturbeth him not. In the instant..."

Persephone: [stabs Alexa in the back] Yes, I know the quote well. It had aided me much in recent days. Shall I finish it? "In the instant of danger, the courage of his heart sustaineth him and the steadiness of his mind beareth him out."

Hades: You're early, nephew.

Ares: Not that I don't cherish your company, my dear uncle, but I'm afraid I'm only visiting today.

Hades: You are here for a favor.

Ares: I am.

Hades: Perhaps then you can enlighten me as to why you think I would remove your bands. Is it because I've longed for a return of your power-crazed ways? Or maybe, I wish to see you act again without regard for your divine brothers and sisters. Or is it simply because I am so easily manipulated and like a dog, will obey any command?

Ares: It is simplicity itself. Once these bands are removed, I will wage a war against humanity the likes of which this world has never seen. Its populace will choke on death. And you will be flooded with more servants to glorify you than you will possibly know what to do with it.

Wonder Woman: I didn't need you to save me. I needed you to stop Ares.

Steve Trevor: Hey, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be here right now.

Wonder Woman: I'm an Amazon, Steve. We're prepared from birth to give our lives in battle. I knew what the consequences were going in to this mission. I bet you would have acted differently, if I were a man.

Steve Trevor: Oh, playing the sex card again, are you? You know what? I've had just about enough of listening to you go on about how terrible men are.

Wonder Woman: Does the truth hurt, Steve?

Steve Trevor: News flash: The Amazons ain't so perfect either. You act brave, but cutting yourselves off from the outside world was cowardly. Not to mention stupid. Like less communication between men and women is what the world needed.

Wonder Woman: How dare you?

Steve Trevor: No! I'm not done. You met your first man, what, like 15 minutes ago. And you think you have us all figured out. Well, I'm sorry, but not everything a man does is to further some misogynistic agenda. We don't hold doors open or pull out chairs for women because we're trying to keep you down. And I didn't save you because I thought were some damsel in distress. I saved you because... Because I care about you, Diana. And I'm not gonna abandon a friend in need, man or woman.

Wonder Woman: You should have saved the world, instead of me...

Steve Trevor: Maybe I figured the world's not worth saving if you're not in it.

Artemis: I must confess, my queen. It feels like the first day of school.

Hippolyta: And yet you could not find a bigger sword, Artemis?

Artemis: Sword? This is but my dagger.

[last lines]

[Cheetah appears robbing a bank]

Wonder Woman: [to Steve] I guess I'll see you at your apartment.

[runs off]

Col. Steve Trevor: Trevor: Call if you're gonna be late! I don't want dinner getting cold!

Little Girl: Look! It's Wonder Woman!

Col. Steve Trevor: The truth is, I'm really not such a pig. No, that's not the truth. I am a pig. A womanizer. Been one for a long time now. Sometimes I think it's all because I don't wanna be hurt. Well, not again. This macho bravado, it's all a facade. Wait, why am I telling you this?

[Notices his foot's caught in the lasso of truth]

Col. Steve Trevor: God, I hope you Amazons can't mass-produce this thing.

Wonder Woman: It's all true, isn't it, Steve? Everything my mother warned me about man's world is true. She even told me you'd try to seduce me, and I, like a fool, told her, "For now, let's only expect the best from the pilot." You tried to get me drunk. As if you could out drink an Amazon, you pathetic lightweight.

Col. Steve Trevor: [Sees thugs approaching] Oh, crap.

Wonder Woman: [Unaware of the thugs] Yes, I knew exactly what you were trying to do. And please don't use that language around me.

Artemis: [Wonder Woman has just flown off for "Man's World"] We should not have let her go.

Hippolyta: I don't see how we could have stopped her.

Artemis: I could have shot her in the leg... Not near an artery, of course.

Hippolyta: You are the soul of thoughtfulness, Artemis.

Steve Trevor: Holy crap!

[Wonder Woman glares at him]

Steve Trevor: Get over it!

Col. Steve Trevor: [being interrogated with the Lasso of Truth] I don't have to put up with this crap!

Hippolyta: We are unfamiliar with this particular idiom. What does 'crap' mean?

Col. Steve Trevor: [considers] No, forget I even said it.

[tightens the Lasso]

Col. Steve Trevor: [struggles] It's another word for excrement. You happy now, lady?

[looks shocked]

[repeated line]

Col. Steve Trevor: Oh, crap!

Hippolyta: You were given a life of peace and beauty.

Persephone: And denied one of families and children. Yes, Hippolyta, the Amazons are warriors... but we... are women... too.

[Steve Trevor opens a taxi for Diana]

Wonder Woman: I lift cars. I can lift car-door handles.

Col. Steve Trevor: We talked about this, angel.

Wonder Woman: I know. Sorry.

[puts on a playful act]

Wonder Woman: Oh, thank you, Stevie. You're such a gentleman.

[Ares returns to the Underworld after being decapitated by Wonder Woman]

Hades: A tragedy. A terrible, terrible tragedy. How it weighs on my heart to see you like this. When my brother asked me not to remove your bands he said I was only dooming you, that he could not save you from yourself yet again. Perhaps, I should have listened.

Persephone: [to victorious comrade felling yet another] You are most greedy on the battlefield, Artemis.

Artemis: My sword is thirsty, Persephone. I intend she gets her fill.

[jumps from cliff onto the back of Cyclops beast, and brings it down]

Wonder Woman: [casually twirling her spear] You know, Artemis, I found myself saying a little prayer for you last night.

Artemis: Did you, Diana? How kind.

Wonder Woman: Yes, I prayed that Apollo would inspire you with a strategy that might end your rather long string of defeats at my hand.

[with her spear, Artemis lunges furiously at her]

Artemis: [gains upper hand] Praise Apollo.

Wonder Woman: [knocks down her opponent, has her foot on her throat] Obviously, I'm not praying hard enough.

Artemis: [seethes] If you were not the Queen's daughter...

Hippolyta: [descending steps behind sparring rivals] Well done, Diana. But be kind to Artemis. Believe it or not, there was a time she was the fiercest warrior among us.

Artemis: [stands up] And, still would be, given the chance in a real battle.

Hippolyta: Then forgive me, Artemis, if I am grateful that you will never be afforded that chance.

Wonder Woman: If that is indeed true, Mother, then what is the point of all this training? That is, other than to humble Artemis from time to time.

Hippolyta: We train because we must always remain vigilant, Diana. I once let my guard down and paid a terrible price.

Alexa: But, my Queen, letting down our guard is precisely what we must do.

[snaps shut her book of wisdoms]

Alexa: And now, before yet another century passes, is the time to re-engage ourselves with the old world. Even if only to add some new material to our library.

Wonder Woman: Perhaps Alexa's right. Is it not possible man's world has changed for the better?

Hippolyta: [unswayed, and can show them a bad example of mankind] Follow me, child.

Alexa: [as neighing horse rears back] Perhaps you would be better served by a less restless mare, Princess?

Wonder Woman: She'll be fine once I run it out of her. She's just been cooped up in the stable too long.

Alexa: [cooing voice, to the horse:] I know just how you feel. We comb you. We feed you till you're full. We give you everything you could possibly need, and yet all you want is to run free, isn't it?

[to Diana, who's mounting the horse;]

Alexa: Off to explore?

Wonder Woman: I doubt there's an inch of this island left for me to explore. Care to join me?

Alexa: Thank you. But you know I prefer the excitement of a good book.

Hippolyta: [removes Lasso of Truth] This pilot poses no threat to our people. Therefore it is our duty to see him safely returned to the outside world.

Wonder Woman: I wanna be the one to take him back, Mother.

Col. Steve Trevor: [dares to speak] Seconded.

Hippolyta: You do not have the experience necessary to lead such a mission.

Col. Steve Trevor: So what about all that stuff you said about bringing our two worlds together?

Wonder Woman: Dreams of a naive girl.

Wonder Woman: Whatever happens, don't let Ares get past the gates!

Col. Steve Trevor: No problem, angel! Leave it to me!

Col. Steve Trevor: [in front of computer screen] Tell me, what exactly are we up against with this guy?

Wonder Woman: [leans in over Steve's shoulder] Imagine a god whose sole mission is to propagate terror to incite eternal war and fan the flames of hate...

[Steve's nose twitches as he smells something nice]

Wonder Woman: A god who won't stop until the Earth's populace, Amazon and outsider alike, lies murdered in a battlefield grave.

Col. Steve Trevor: You smell good.

Wonder Woman: Must you flirt?

Col. Steve Trevor: It's only natural.

Wonder Woman: [snaps] Suppress it!

Col. Steve Trevor: [attention back to screen] Now this is interesting. The number of violent incidents increased dramatically in the area. A car bomb in Turkey, a workplace shooting in Greece, a farmer kills his family in Crete.

Wonder Woman: Proximity to Ares literally inspires acts of rage in the hearts of those gripped by fear and anger.

Col. Steve Trevor: This might be the break we need. Eventually a pattern will form that will allow us to pinpoint his exact location.

Wonder Woman: So for now, we wait.

Col. Steve Trevor: You know, since this could be the last time you get to see the outside world... maybe you should take in some sights before you have to return to Chastity Belt Island.

Wonder Woman: Themiskira. What did you have in mind?

Wonder Woman: [facing her foe, wielding sword] Shall we? Mother tells me you're a terrific dancer!

[decimates his advance guard]

Ares: Darn. Apparently someone wants to cut in.

Wonder Woman: You're not going to conquer man, Ares. The Amazons will never let you!

Artemis: [dueling with her zombie sister] Alexa! You bring yet more shame to our family! This time I will ensure that you stay dead!

[but Alexa proves to be a formidable opponent]

Artemis: *Now* you fight without fear!
