Wonder Woman 2017 quotes

Charlie

Oh. My. God...! What are we gonna do‽

Steve

There's not much we can do, if that's who I think it is.

How long until we reach the war?

Steve

The war? Which part? The Western Front in France is 400 miles long, from the Alps to the North Sea.

Where the fighting is the most intense, then. If you take me there, I'm sure I'll find Ares.

Steve

Ares, as in the... the god of war?

The god of war is our responsibility. Only an Amazon can defeat him. With this. [holds up the "Godkiller" sword] And once I do, the war will end.

Steve

Look, I, uh... I appreciate your spirit, but this war is... it's a great big mess. And, uh, there's not a whole lot you and I can do about that. I mean, we can get back to London and try to look for men who can--

I'm the man who can! And once I find and destroy Ares, the German armies will be freed from his influence, and they will be good men again, and the world will be better.

Steve

Great...

You'll see.

Is this what people do when there are no wars to fight?

Steve

Yeah... [stutters] This and other things.

What things?

Steve

Umm, they have breakfast. They love their breakfast. And, umm, they love to wake up and read the paper and go to work, they get married, make some babies, grow up together. I guess.

What is that like?

Steve

I have no idea.

No! After everything I saw, it can't be! It cannot be! They were killing each other. Killing people they cannot see. Children. Children! No, it had to be him, it cannot be them.

Steve

Diana, people-- [stutters]

She was right. My mother was right. She said, "The world of men do not deserve you". They don't deserve our help.

Steve

It'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.

I'm not.

Steve

But maybe I am!

Steve

I can't let you do this.

What I do is not up to you.
[She shoves him away from her and rushes after Ludendorff]

Steve

This 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. Alright? 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.

So … what? … so we do nothing?!

Steve

No – we are doing something. We are! We just … we can't save everyone in this war. This is not what we came here to do.

No. But it is what I am going to do.

Steve Trevor

I love fire, don't you? It is like a living act of entropy. The ultimate weapon of destruction. Reminding us that in the end everything eventually returns to the ash it came from.

Steve Trevor

I am taking you to the front. We are probably gonna die. This is a terrible idea!

General Erich Ludendorff

Ah, you know your ancient Greeks. They understood... That war is a god. A god who requires human sacrifice. In exchange, war gives man purpose. Meaning. A chance to rise above his petty mortal little self and be courageous. Noble. Better.

Sameer

Everyone is fighting their own battle, Diana. Just as you're fighting yours.

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares

I am not the god of war, Diana, I am the god of truth. Mankind stole this world from us. They ruined it, day by day. And I, the only one wise enough to see it, was left too weak to stop them. All these years, I have struggled alone, whispering into their ears. Ideas, inspiration for formulas, weapons... but I don't make them use them. They start these wars on their own. All I do is orchestrate an armistice I know they cannot keep, in the hope they will destroy themselves. But it has never been enough... until you. When you first arrived, I was going to crush you. But I knew that if only you could see what the other gods could not, then you would join me, and with our powers combined, we could finally end all the pain, all the suffering, the destruction they bring. And we could return this world to the paradise it was before them, forever.

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares

I am not your enemy, Diana. I am the only one who truly knows you, and who truly knows them, as you now do. They have always been and will always be weak, cruel, selfish and capable of the greatest horrors. All I ever wanted was for the gods to see how evil my father's creation was. But they refused. So I destroyed them.

I have nowhere else. The last war took everything from my people. We have nothing left. At least here, I'm free.

I used to want to save the world. This beautiful place. But I knew so little then. It is a land of magic and wonder. Worth cherishing in every way. But the closer you get, the more you see the great darkness shimmering within. And mankind? Mankind is another story altogether. What one does when faced with the truth, is more difficult than you think. I learned this the hard way. A long long time ago. And now, I will never be the same.

I 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 learnt that inside every one of them there will always be both. The choice each must make for themselves – something no hero will ever defeat. And now I know ... that only Love can truly save the world. So now I stay, I fight, and I give – for the world I know can be. This is my mission now. Forever.
