Diana PrinceI used to want to save the world. To end war and bring peace to mankind. But then, I glimpsed the darkness that lives within their light. I learned that inside every one of them, there will always be both. The choice each must make for themselves - something no hero will ever defeat. I've touched the darkness that lives in between the light. Seen the worst of this world, and the best. Seen the terrible things men do to each other in the name of hatred, and the lengths they'll go to for love. Now I know. Only love can save this world. So I stay. I fight, and I give... for the world I know can be. This is my mission, now. Forever.

Diana PrinceI'm going, Mother. I cannot stand by while innocent lives are lost. If no one else will defend the world from Ares, then I must. I have to go.
Queen HippolytaI know. Or at least I know I cannot stop you.
[dismounts from horse]
Queen HippolytaThere's so much... so much you do not understand.
Diana PrinceI understand enough that I'm willing to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. Like you once did.
Queen HippolytaYou know that if you choose to leave, you may never return.
Diana PrinceHow do I know you're not lying to me now?
[Steve puts the Lasso on himself]
Steve TrevorWe're headed to the front. We're probably going to die. This is a terrible idea!

Diana PrinceWhat one does with the truth is more difficult than you think. I learnt this the hard way, a long, long time ago. And now, my life will never be the same...
Steve TrevorThis is no man's land, Diana! It means no man can cross it, alright? This battalion has been here for nearly a year and they've barely gained an inch. All right? Because on the other side there are a bunch of Germans pointing machine guns at every square inch of this place. This is not something you can cross. It's not possible.
Steve TrevorMy father told me once, he said, "If you see something wrong happening in the world, you can either do nothing, or you can do something". And I already tried nothing.

Queen HippolytaYou know that if you choose to leave, you may never return.
Steve TrevorUm, they have breakfast. They love their breakfast. And, um, they love to wake up and read the paper and go to work, they get married, make some babies, grow up together. I guess.
Steve TrevorTechnically, the war is that way. But first we got to go THIS way...

Diana Prince[in tears]She was right, my mother was right... she said the world of men do not deserve you, they don't deserve our help...
Steve TrevorIt's... it's not about deserve. Maybe, maybe we don't. But it's not about that, it's about what you believe. You don't think I get it, after what I've seen out there? You don't think I wish I could tell you that it was one bad guy to blame? It's not! We're all to blame!
Diana PrinceI've read all 12 volumes of Clio's "Treatises on Bodily Pleasure."
Steve TrevorAll 12, huh? Did you bring any of those with you?

DianaI used to want to save the world. This beautiful place. But I knew so little then. It is a land of beauty and wonder, worth cherishing in every way. But the closer you get, the more you see the great darkness simmering within. And mankind? Mankind is another story altogether.

Queen Hippolyta[ties the Lasso of Truth onto Steve]What are you?
Steve Trevor[tries to get around the question, but fails]I am a spy!
Ludendorff[waltzs with Diana]You know your ancient Greeks? They understood that war is a god. A god that requires human sacrifice. And in exchange, war gives man purpose. Meaning. A chance to rise above his petty mortal little self. And be courageous. Noble. Better.
Diana PrinceOnly one of the many gods believed in that. And he was wrong.

Diana PrinceI killed him, why are they doing this? Why are they still fighting?
Steve TrevorBecause maybe it's them! Maybe people aren't always good, Ares or no Ares. Maybe it's just who they are.
Diana PrinceNo... After everything I saw, it can't be. It can not be! They were killing each other! Killing people they cannot see! Children. Children! No, it had to be him, it cannot be them!
Diana Prince[in tears]She was right, my mother was right... she said the world of men do not deserve you, they don't deserve our help...
Steve TrevorIt's... it's not about deserve. Maybe, maybe we don't. But it's not about that, it's about what you believe. You don't think I get it, after what I've seen out there? You don't think I wish I could tell you that it was one bad guy to blame? It's not! We're all to blame!
LudendorffWe will get your book! It is YOU I believe in, not it! I know that you can and will succeed. It is what you were put on this Earth to do.
Dr. MaruSomething did come to me last night. A different type of gas, for you. To restore your strength.
[Dr Maru opens the gas and Ludendorff breathes it in, giving him super-strength. Due to this, one of Dr Maru's screwed-up notes is pushed towards her. She reads it]
Dr. MaruI've got it. I've got it! And if it's what i think, it's going to be... terrible.

Diana Prince[examining a corset on display at a department store]Is this what passes for armor in your country?
Etta CandyArmor? Well - it's fashion. It keeps our tummy's in!
Steve TrevorNo, I mean, I do sleep with women. I sleep with - yes, I do. But, out of the - eh - confines of marriage, it's not polite to assume, you know.
Steve TrevorYes, Marriage. Do you not have that down in - yeah - you go before a judge and you swear to - eh - love, honor and cherish each other until death do you part.
Diana PrinceAnd do they? Love each other till death?
Steve TrevorAll right, so, give me your hand. Like so. And I'll put my arm around you. Like so. And we just, what'd you call it? Sway? And we just sway.
Queen HippolytaLong ago, when time was new and all of history was still a dream, the gods ruled the earth, Zeus, king among them. Zeus created beings over which the gods would rule. Beings born in his image, fair and good, strong and passionate. He called his creation: Man.
Steve TrevorI know it sounds crazy, but it's true. Every word.
SameerWait, wait, wait. There is a whole island of women like her? And not a single man among them? How do we get there? And she thinks that Ludendorff is Ares, the god of war?
CharlieAnd only by killing him will the war end? Don't be daft.
SameerYou saw what happened out there. The way she dropped that machine gun nest. The way she took out the tower? Maybe it's true.
CharlieSteven, son, you don't really believe this rubbish, do you?

Steve TrevorThis war is - a great big mess. And there's not a whole lot you and I can do about that. We can get back to London and try to get the men who can.
