Most scenes with: Atlanna (2)
You are the reason our mother was executed and I have hated you for it ever since. But I do not want to kill you, Arthur. I am going to give you one chance. Go home. Do not ever come back to Atlantis. You are not going to win this. A war is coming to the surface whether you like it or not, and I am bringing the wrath of the Seven Seas with me.

Scenes with Orm Marius / Ocean Master
5 scenes Orm Marius ...Mother?
My son.
Orm Marius [They embrace.]
I don't understand. We thought you...
I know. Arthur saved me.
Orm Marius You're with him?
I am. You're both my children, and I love you so much. But you have been misguided. Your father told you that there were two worlds. He was wrong. The land and the sea are one.
Orm Marius You were defeated the last time because your surface weapons failed you. Ours will not. [David Kane walks through water hologram to commandoes opening armory chest] It's prototype armor for the next generation Atlantean soldier. Revenge is something we Atlanteans understand. You will lead my finest commandos as your personal army to hunt down the half-breed abomination. I cannot touch them, but you can. He's fled to your world. Kill him and the woman he's with, and you will be rewarded.
Killing him is my reward.
Orm Marius The crown jewel. Still experimental. Converts water into beams of energized plasma. [David Kane uses the weapon to blast a shore mountain]
King Ricou
King Nereus, I had hoped our people had evolved beyond that ancient notion that war with the surface is inevitable. It is the position of the Fishermen that when the time comes to make ourselves known to the landsmen, it should be to educate them, not to destroy them.
Orm Marius I admire your lofty aspirations, King Ricou. But I suspect they are but clouds of ink hiding the heart of a coward.
King Ricou
How dare you!
Orm Marius Please. I implore you. You're a kingdom of bloated philosophers and flaccid poets whose waters have grown stagnant, and it sickens me. [Orm fights the King's guard and assassinates the King]
Queen Rina
My King!
Orm Marius The king is dead! Long live his heir. [Goes up to King Ricou's wife and daughter] Princess. Prepare your armies, Your Highness. We move against the Brine Kingdom at once.
Orm Marius Vulko. My trusted vizier who has stood by the throne since my father sat upon it. Have you any advice for me as this war begins?
Nuidis Vulko
I have already given it, My King. But I will stand by your decision, as always. My decision. To protect it.
Nuidis Vulko
I do not.
Orm Marius Why? I am the pureblood. I have devoted my life to Atlantis. He wanted nothing to do with it. You swore to serve the throne!
Nuidis Vulko
I do serve it. Arthur may only be half-Atlantean, but he's already twice the king you'll ever be.
Nuidis Vulko
[Guards approach]
Take him. But make sure he has a view.
Orm Marius Remember, the Brine are powerful, savage brutes, but a swift assault aimed directly at their leadership will turn the tide.
Brine King
Death to the Atlantean hagfish! We will not bow to Atlantis. We're gonna give them a fight that they will never forget!
Commander
[Orm is about to finish off a crab commander]
No! We need him!
Orm Marius Join me or die!
Crab Commander
You expect me to address you as Your Highness?!
Orm Marius Not Your Highness. Call me... Ocean Master!
Crab Commander
You can take my army, you soft-bellied slug! But you will never have my allegiance!
Orm Marius So be it!
Commander
What the...
Nuidis Vulko
The king has risen.!
Orm Marius Attack!
There are too many casualties. We have to stop the fighting now. I'll find my father. But you must defeat Orm.
And what if I can't?
Last time, he was in his element. This time, make him fight in yours.
Um... What was the plan, again?
The plan is to not get killed.
Yeah, good plan. Don't get killed.
Princess Ricou
The Trench! He commands the Trench!
Nereus
Impossible! Stand down! Let her pass.
Please, Father, he has the trident. I know you think this war is necessary, but Arthur is king by our most sacred law. And if you turn your back on that now, then the Atlantis you're fighting for is already dead.
Commander
It's true! The half-breed wields King Atlan's trident. He commands the sea!
Nereus
Then that half-breed is your king.
Vulko! Come on, he needs our help!
Vulko
We can't! Look. The people must bear witness.
Orm Marius That trident doesn't change what you are. A half-breed bastard. Atlantis will never accept you as its king.
Well, then by bloodshed... Do the gods make known their will. [After fighting] Yield the throne. Yield it!
Orm Marius Finish it!
Yield the throne!
Orm Marius Mercy is not our way.!
Maybe you haven't noticed, brother... But I'm not one of you.
Orm Marius Do it! Kill me!
No! That is enough killing.
Orm Marius Mother?
Oh, my son.
It's a long story. I'll tell ya later. Come on! [Swims away]
Orm Marius I don't understand. We thought...
I know. Arthur saved me.
Orm Marius You're with him?
I am. You're both my children, and I love you so much. But you have been misguided. Your father taught you that there were two worlds. He was wrong. The land and the sea are one.
Vulko
My queen.
Vulko.
Vulko
Take him. But make sure he has a view. [Commanders take him away]
When you're ready, let's talk.
People of Atlantis, today began in bloodshed, but let it end in joy. [Motioning to Arthur] I give you King Arthur of Atlantis.
Nereus
Hail to the king!
Combatants
[Repeatedly]
Hail to the king!
So, what do I do now?
Be their king.
Ooh. This is gonna be fun. [Kisses Mera's head]
Tom Curry
[Walking down steps from lighthouse to see Atlanna on the dock and they embrace in passionate hugging]
You came back. You're back.
Yes. Yes.
...
My father was a lighthouse keeper. My mother was a queen. They were never meant to meet... But their love saved the world. They made me what I am. A son of the land, and a king of the seas. I am the protector of the deep. I am... Aquaman.
