Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom quotes

Page 1 of 2

I win. Topo, go back to Atlantis and give them our coordinates. [To Orm] You know what’d be amazing right now?

Orm

Reinforcements?

Great, big, greasy cheeseburger and a pint of Guinness. [Mimics gulping] You gotta admit, the food is so much better up here.

Orm

I find that hard to believe.

Hold up. You telling me you never went topside to have a cheeseburger?

Orm

What?

Or a slice of ‘za? Pepperoni? Or a thick, juicy, medium raw steak with fries and a shake, and you dip it

Orm

Even the words that surfaced wellers give their food sound disgusting.

You’ve let your prejudices stop you from enjoying half the world. You should think about that. It’s your loss, dude. [Spots cockroach] Aw, yeah! [Picks up cockroach] Bet you never had one of these.

Orm

What is it?

It’s a cockroach.

Orm

You eat it?

Oh, yeah. Shrimp of the land.

Orm
[Biting end of cockroach]

Mmm. Mmm.

Eh? That’s good. Here, drink this. [Break apart coconut to discover its rotten] Okay, you first. [Spots giant grasshoppers on top of giant mouse carcass] Are you seeing this?

Orm

That’s not normal?

Definitely not normal. Ugh.

Orm

Let’s get out of here.

You see how dangerous the orichalcum can be? I bet it mutated the flora and fauna in a short amount of time, turning them... monstrous. [After running from cockroaches, they come to a deep cliff end] Whoa.

Orm

We have to jump. We’ll survive the fall.

Are you crazy? It’s gonna hurt.

Orm

What do you wanna do, stay here and fight the hopping demons?

[Spots writing on a building holding up giant statue]

What is that? What does that say?

Orm

The writing is ancient Atlantean. “A true king builds bridges.” [Arthur runs to building shoulder ramming it] What are you doing?! [Statue topples over to other cliff edge] Got any more krillbrained ideas?

See? A true king builds bridges.

Orm

That’s a metaphor!

Hey! I forgot to tell you. Mom says she loves you. She thinks about you all the time.

Orm

Why the hell are you telling me this now?

I don’t know. I’m just tired of waiting for the right moment.

Orm

We must be getting close to the radiation source. We should wait for Atlantis to receive your message. We can conduct reconnaissance in the meantime.

Yeah. Look, Loki, I’m not asking for your advice on this. You’ve already lived up to your end of the deal. So you can go on back to Azkaban for all I care.

Orm

So, what’s your plan?

I don’t have one, yet. But he came after my wife, which means I’m gonna pull his tongue out of his butt.

Orm

Arthur, you are the king. You cannot let this get personal.

This coming from the guy who turned the entire nation of Atlantis into his own private ego trip?

Orm

My ego? You’re the one who swam through the front gate and challenged my claim for the throne.

Only because you’re trying to destroy the surface world.

Orm

If you weren’t such an asshole, you’d still be king.

Unbelievable.

Orm

Wait, wait! Wait! You took my throne and you don’t even want it?

Are you kidding me? I hate this job. Only reason I’m doing it is to keep Atlantis from destroying the surface. And I might even be screwing that up.

Orm

You really had no ambition for it?

Absolutely not.

Orm

From the day my father found out you existed, he prepared me for the moment that you would come and challenge me for the throne.

Wow, that’s really sad. Especially when you think how easily I kicked your ass with basically no prep time whatsoever.

Orm
[Smacks lips]

Roasted.

That is not how it happened.

Orm

That’s exactly how it happened. Mera saved you.

No, she didn’t. I kicked your ass.

Orm

Nope. She made the little water tornado. I fell in it.

Okay, shut up. I think we’re here. [Mimics bird call and they come upon Atlantean guard who he knocks out] Sleep, aloha.

Orm

Come on, let’s do this.

Once this is over with, we should go get some burgers and beers.

Orm

Don’t push it.

Tacos and tequila.

Orm

I don’t even know those words.

Guard

Huh?

Shh!

Guard

Hey! [Orm knocks him out and they run up to the control center]

[Stops Orm from shooting a guard]

Whoa, brother! [He then knocks out guard himself] Sasa!

Orm

It’s an orichalcum furnace. All that stolen orichalcum. They’re just burning it up.

He’s heating the atmosphere on purpose.

Orm

This is catastrophic. This whole place must be heat shielded to protect it from the surface’s thermal satellites.

Question is, how do we stop ’em?

Orm

To take out this reactor, we would have to crater the entire island.

Dr. Shin
[Aiming gun at Arthur and Orm]

Get away from there! Now! This blaster may be ancient, but it was built for killing Atlanteans. Okay, I am so sorry. I did not mean that. I just didn’t want you to break me in half before I could surrender. [Holds up both hands] Please take me with you.

Knock him out and then help me hide these bodies.

Dr. Shin

No, no. Wait, please. I didn’t want any of this. All I wanted was to see Atlantis with my own eyes. I thought I could share its wonders with the world. I’m a scientist, and I just wanted to be taken seriously. David Kane said he could help me, but now he won’t let me leave.

Orm

You expect us to believe you have nothing to do with this?

Dr. Shin

I know. I’ve done things I’m not proud of. But he would’ve killed me if I hadn’t.

[Scoffs]

Knock him out.

Orm

No.

Then I’ll knock him out.

Orm

No!

What?

Orm

No.

[Grunts]

Fine! You can come with us.

Dr. Shin

Oh... thank you.

But you better start talking. Or I’m gonna give you one sasa!

Dr. Shin

Okay, okay. It’s the black trident. It’s a direct link to some ancient evil. It gives Kane great powers and in return- [Explosion blows Arthur and Orm out of window]

I hate when that happens.

Four years ago, I was basically unemployed. A wanderer with no home. But now, I’m a husband, and a father, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Oh, yeah. I finally got a job. I'm the King of Atlantis.
