Arthur
Strong men are strongest alone, have you ever heard that?
Bruce
That’s not the saying. That’s the opposite of what the saying is.

James Gordon
Nice to see you playing well with others.
Aquaman
Dressed like a bat– I dig it.
Batman
[Through gritted teeth]
May be temporary.
Aquaman
Honestly– I think we're gonna be dead way before that. And you know what? I don't mind. It's an honorable end. But we've gotta shut Steppenwolf down. Superman's a no-show. [Looks at Batman] You've got no powers, no offense. [Looks at Cyborg] This guy might be working for the enemy. We don't know. [Looks at Flash] You're tripping over your feet, and mine– [Looks at Wonder Woman] Whuf, you're gorgeous, and fierce– and strong.
Aquaman
[Everyone is surprised.]
I know we went to war with the Amazons, but that was before my time. You know what? I don't wanna die. I'm young. There's shit that I wanna do. I just feel like– I didn't really embrace the sea or the land. I've been a loner my whole life. But being part of something bigger, like this– maybe I'm scared because– I'm meant to–
Wonder Woman
[Batman gestures to Aquaman, who realizes he sat on Wonder Woman's Lasso of Hestia. He angrily tosses it back to her.]
I think that was beautiful.
Aquaman
[To Flash]
You say a word about this, and you'll meet every piranha I know.
Flash
I honestly didn't hear anything after "we're all gonna die."
Aquaman
So your genius move is dying? You really are out of your mind.
Batman
I'm not the one who brought a pitchfork.
Steppenwolf
[After Superman uses his arctic breath to freeze Steppenwolf's axe and Wonder Woman uses her sword to destroy it]
No! This cannot be!
Aquaman
You recognize that smell?
Batman
[All the Parademons turn to Steppenwolf]
Fear.
Bruce
What is it? Mankind's melting the polar ice caps, destroying the ecosystem, they got it coming?
Arthur
Hey, I don't mind if the ocean dries.
Bruce
How 'bout if they boil?
Arthur
Dressed like a bat. You're outta your mind, Bruce Wayne. [dives and swims off]
Bruce
Doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Arthur
Strong man is strongest alone. Have you ever heard that?
Bruce
That’s not the saying. That’s the opposite of what the saying is.
Arthur
[takes off his coat]
Doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Arthur
[Mera creates a bubble around herself and Arthur]
You took a hell of a hit. You all right?
Mera
[chuckles]
At last. The firstborn of the beloved Queen Atlanna.
Mera
[Arthur starts to leave] [stops Arthur from leaving]
Wait! Please. I knew her.
Arthur
Well, that makes one of us.
Mera
When my parents fought in the wars– she took me in.
Arthur
What a saint.
Mera
You dare speak of Queen Atlanna that way?
Arthur
Your queen left me on my father's doorstep and never gave me another thought.
Mera
Your mother left you to save your life. Cannot imagine how it hurt her. What it cost her. But you're not a defenseless child now. It would have been her responsibility to follow that monster to the surface and stop him. Now– it's yours.
Arthur
Then I'm gonna need something from you.
